Ahead of the episode, Leah called out Heather on her Instagram stories. The *Married to the Mob* founder accused the former RHONY star of being *"disingenuous"* and spreading lies about her in the press. She also claimed that Heather *"falsely accused"* her of *"assault."* *"I am seeing a narrative emerge that I'm not comfortable with and thus feel the need to speak out,"* Leah wrote. *"Heather was unable to forge natural connections with any of the women, and that is why she discontinued filming,"* she continued. *"Everything she has been saying about me in the press these last few weeks bears no resemblance to reality."* She added, *"I'm not a fan of disingenuous people. She says one thing in the press and another to people's faces. Say what you mean, mean what you say. I have never once lied to her or about her."* Leah went on to explain that her behavior was out of wack because she was *"dealing with a tremendous personal loss"* and that she *"acknowledged"* and *"apologized to everyone for being aggressive."* She noted that she *"squashed"* her beef with everyone, including Heather. The 38-year-old didn't stop there. She then accused Heather of *"spinning lies in the press"* and *"openly attacking"* her *"mental heather, sobriety journey, and falsely accusing me of assault."* Leah called Heather's attacks *"wrong, dangerous, inappropriate and a sad attempt to save face because she couldn't cut it the show."* *"She defames women to lift herself up,"* Leah said of Heather before accusing the *Yummy Tummy* founder of trying to stay *"relevant"* with this *"dumb bullshit."* Check out Leah's full statement below! ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Image-2.jpg) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Image-3.jpg) Heather previously claimed she was assaulted by Leah while filming season 13 of RHONY. *“I get assaulted this season,”* Heather revealed on the [“Friends of Dorothy” podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/friends-of-dorothy/id1526897148#:~:text=%E2%80%8EFriends%20Of%20Dorothy%20on%20Apple%20Podcasts&text=Irish%20drag%20queens%20Candy%20and,hilarious%20and%20your%20new%20obsession.) in May.*“The show has changed a lot, breaking the fourth wall.”* *“People were interested in putting me down, dragging me down, and showing me who is the queen bee. I just don’t have time for that stuff. It’s the new girl who was intimidated and wanted to show who’s the queen bee,”* she continued. *The Real Housewives of New York City *airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. ## Thoughts on Leah's statement?
