Luann de Lessepsis grateful for cabaret in more ways than one.
TheReal Housewives of New York Citystar dropped theCharlie’s Angels-inspired music video for her new single“Feelin’ Jovani”on Thursday and attended the premiere party at Soho’s Gitano Jungle Room that evening.
“I’m so good,” de Lesseps, 54, told PEOPLE after admitting sheviolated the terms of her probationlast month. “This is such an exciting moment for me.”
“Feelin’ Jovani” jokingly references her former feud withRHONYcostarDorinda Medleyat a now-infamous cabaret show, but de Lesseps’ is serious about her passion for burlesque dancing.

TheCountess and Friendsstar also opened up about being in the hot seat duringWednesday night’s episode ofRHONY.
She added, “I thought I handled myself pretty well. And sober. How hard was that? To be around all of them spilling drinks? That was really bad.”

“When’s the last time you asked me how I am about Dennis?”Frankel asked de Lessepsafter she accused the women of trying to “tear her down” and not supporting her.
“You are intolerable,” Frankel added. “You never change. You dined out on your sobriety, you’re dining out.”
Frankel accused de Lesseps of turning her back on her after herboyfriend Dennis Shields died.“Let me explain something to you clearly: Dennis helped you with your case 100 percent. When’s the last time you asked me how I feel about it?” she said. “It’s unnerving. The truth hurts.”
But de Lesseps told PEOPLE that her relationship with Frankel is better now than it was when they filmed the blow-out episode.
“We’re good,” de Lesseps said. “It was a rough spot, and what she said to me was very rough. But I don’t think it was about me. I think there were a lot of things that were mixed up in there that came out at me, but not about me. She’s been through a lot.”
