The Golden Life’s Luann de Lesseps Shares Boyfriend Michael Riemerschmid’s Honest Reaction to Reality TV

Raise the curtain, lower the lights: Luann de Lesseps is ready to take center stage with her man. 

The Golden Life star admitted that her boyfriend of almost three years Michael Riemerschmid had a surprising reaction to filming with her costar Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley and Kelly Bensimon, saying he was shocked by how “forward they were and how cougar they are” toward him.

“Those girls came on,” Luann exclusively told E! News’ The Rundown‘s Erin Lim Rhodes at the show’s Oct. 14 premiere in New York City. “When Michael came to Palm Beach, I said, ‘Sonja—I’m sure she’s going to be into you for sure.’”

In fact, the 61-year-old felt like she needed to warn her boyfriend, telling him, “Watch out for Sonja.”

Still, she didn’t want her ladies to not have any fun with her man. 

“Listen, they’re my friends, so I’m that kind of girl. I’m a girls’ girl,” Luann revealed. “So I’m like, ‘Have a dance with Michael.’”
