Luann de Lesseps will be checking into an alcohol treatment center.
This comes after the 52-year-old Real Housewives Of New York City star was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest with violence and threatening an officer, firefighter and EMT.
The 52-year-old TV star has since said she was ’embarrassed’ by the incident and it is not a reflection of her true core values.
She is due back in court January 25, 2018 to face four felonies charges and one misdemeanor: battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly intoxication, resisting an officer with violence and two counts of corruption by threat.

Luanne tweeted: ‘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. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions.
A bad year: Luanne told People : ‘After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed; seen in April with Tom D’Agostino Jr whom she has since divorced
‘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.’
De Lesseps was arrested at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach after entering a room that was not assigned to her and refusing to leave.

That is when 911 was called by the staff.
Things got violent, according to TMZ, when she ‘shoved’ a police officer and ‘slammed’ the bathroom door on his forehead.
It was also claimed that she threatened to ‘kill’ the officer.
After the arrest she said: ‘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.’

A source told People ‘memories from that day came flooding back, she was emotional and her behavior was out of character.’
She has since returned to New York.
On Thursday it was claimed her ex-husband Tom D’Agostino feels ‘really sad’ for his former spouse – but was also ‘shocked’ to learn she was even in Palm Beach, a city she has ‘no ties’ to, according to sources from a new People report.
A source told the publication that D’Agostino, 50, ‘felt really sad for Luann and her family that they had to go through this over the holidays.’

De Lessep’s ex was also apparently unaware the Real Housewives Of New York star was even in Palm Beach – the same city where they tied the knot, nearly one year ago.
D’Agostino, who has a home and office in Palm Beach, was in the city over the weekend with his new girlfriend, Anna Rothschild.
De Lesseps and D’Agostino are now divorced after tying the knot in Palm Beach on New Year’s Eve last year.
The couple’s glamorous nuptials were even featured on an episode of her reality series, the Real Housewives Of New York.
And sources have revealed to People that de Lessep’s arrest will be integrated into the story line of the upcoming season of RHONY, even though no cameras were present as filming was on a holiday break.
‘It’s reality. They follow their real lives,’ a source told People. ‘So if this is happening while filming is happening, they’re going to talk about it. They’d didn’t shy away from Tinsley’s arrest. They didn’t shy away from Bethenny’s court drama.’
A report filed by the Palm Beach Police Department confirms de Lesseps was a registered guest Saturday night at the Colony, a landmark hotel known for its well-heeled clientele with rooms costing upwards of $446 per night.
She was staying in room 327 but when she and her male companion left the Polo bar together they headed to the wrong floor and entered room 407 as a maid was cleaning.

The man split after security guard Carlos Lopez found the pair in bed but a ‘highly intoxicated’ de Lesseps refused to budge and cops were called, according to the report by Officer Robert Mastrangelo.
When an Officer O’Leary eventually opened the bathroom door she ‘shoved Officer O’Leary with an open palm to the chest, then slammed the door on Officer O’Leary’s face, striking him in the forehead.’
She resisted again as Officer O’Leary placed her in handcuffs, managing somehow to slip out of the shackles once she was in the patrol car.
De Lesseps then ‘attempted to exit the vehicle’, according to the report, kicking and fending off the officers as they tried to cuff her again, while telling Mastrangelo: ‘I’m going to f***ing kill you.’
Charges: She will be back in court next month to face four felonies charges and one misdemeanor: battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly intoxication, resisting an officer with violence and two counts of corruption by threat (pictured October 2016)
As she arrived at the police station she repeated her threat, telling officers she was ‘going to f***ing kill you all,’ it says.
A disheveled de Lesseps appeared at the Palm Beach Courthouse at 9am on Christmas Eve, having spent eight hours in custody before she was released without bond.
She will be back in court next month to face four felonies charges and one misdemeanor: battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly intoxication, resisting an officer with violence and two counts of corruption by threat.
The two most serious charges, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest, are considered third-degree felonies, each punishable by a maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
A few hours after her court appearance, de Lesseps addressed her arrest on Twitter, writing: ‘I want to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone that I might have offended with my behavior.
‘This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding and being here brought up buried emotions. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018.’
