Everything is all like... uncool.
Real Housewives of New York star Luann De Lesseps just announced that she plans to check into rehab following her drunken arrest in Palm Beach, Florida, on the day before Christmas Eve.
"After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed. I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event," she said in a statement to People.
"Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character. I am so grateful for the love and support that I am receiving from my family, friends and loyal supporters," she added.
In case you missed it, the reality star was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on an officer/firefighter/EMT, resisting arrest with violence and threatening a public servant after breaking into a hotel room and being found in bed with an unidentified man. Cops were called and she refused to leave, barricading herself in the bathroom and screaming "I'm going to kill you all!"
After the news went public, the mother-of-two blamed the incident on her divorce from husband Tom D'Agostino.
"This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding, and being here brought up long-buried emotions. I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I might have offended with my behavior. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018," she claimed.
It's right about now that she wishes she had never written an etiquette book!
