One of the greatest mysteries in “Real Housewives” history has seemingly been solved.
In a podcast interview with Heather McDonald released Thursday, former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Carole Radziwill revealed that former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen took the photo that nearly ended her costar Luann de Lesseps’ engagement to Tom D’Agostino back in 2016.

In a wilder twist to an off-the-rails story, Donald Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen recently told Carole Radziwill that he was the one who took the infamous Tom D’Agostino cheating photo that became the focus of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8.

Throughout her contentious — and ongoing — divorce battle, Bethenny Frankel had the unwavering support of a longtime friend: Dennis Shields.
Years after the Skinnygirl founder filed for divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy, with whom she shares 7-year-old daughter Bryn, in January 2013 — it was finalized in July 2016 — Frankel and Shields began seeing each other.
After an on-and-off year with Shields, the status of Frankel, 47, and the New York banker’s relationship — for which they had long resisted labels — seemed unclear as she opted to spend last Valentine’s Day “without a man.” In August, the pair reunited, but they have since split.

“I have to be able to be focused and sleep,” Frankel adds. “I'm building my Skinnygirl business, I've created a charity, I have a daughter, so sometimes, dating seems like you're really not going to be able to fit it in.”
