Leah McSweeney Opens Up About Relapsing Right Before Filming RHONY
The Real Housewives of New York star Leah McSweeney opens up about relapsing right before filming RHONY, and how she was able to be honest with viewers about mental health and addiction in the aftermath of the season. Leah entered the franchise in season 12 and quickly earned a reputation for being a breath of fresh air among the otherwise stuffy, established housewives. She is significantly younger than many of the housewives and provided a much-needed shakeup to the elite and snobby Manhattanites of the show. Although fans connected with Leah for her honesty and vulnerability when it came to difficult and stigmatized subjects like sex, mental health, and addiction, some of her castmates chaffed at her bold and open attitude. Heather Thompson and Ramona Singer, in particular, clashed with the reality star.
