Luann de Lesseps is counting her lucky stars for her cabaret career.
“Thank God because the TV gigs are far and few between,” the reality star told Page Six at a Jennifer Behr x New York Vintage cocktail soirée on Tuesday night.
De Lesseps, who found fame starring in the original “Real Housewives of New York,” added that “it takes years” for women to see a profit from the storied Bravo franchise.
“Nobody makes money from ‘Housewives’ in the beginning.”
The reality star, who has also appeared in “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” and opposite Sonja Morgan in “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake,” has developed a cabaret act over the years that she is taking to London and Australia next year.
“I’m thrilled, cabaret is going great and my show at Sony Hall in November is sold out,” she added.
But de Lesseps, 59, still keeps her toe in the reality wading pool, having recently wrapped up “Love Hotel” alongside fellow housewives Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby and Shannon Beador.
Host Joel Kim Booster recently raised eyebrows earlier this month when he accused Beador on Instagram of treating people like they were “subhuman” and said he hoped to see her “suffer.”
The “Fire Island” star deleted the post and apologized explaining that he “let an onset conflict cloud my judgment and accessed the darkest, ugliest part of myself and said things I don’t stand by or even believe and I am deeply sorry that allowed my worst self to cloud my judgment.”
De Lesseps, who is friends with Beador, was reticent to talk about it but confessed that it made her “sad” reading Booster’s comments but noted that “he apologized and you know, people make mistakes, don’t they?”
