“Steady on,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a screenshot of a People article detailing de Lesseps admission.
“I do remember meeting a charming RHNY in a restaurant, but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago.
“I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine.”

The reality star didn’t tell Too Fab when exactly the encounter had happened, but she did share that it came about when she was in the Hamptons and a friend called telling her that Grant was at a restaurant called Pierre’s.
“I called and said, ‘Get the table right next to Hugh Grant’,” de Lesseps told the publication, adding that she was able to pull some strings as she knew the owner of the restaurant.

“I said, ‘Sit me right behind him’. I pushed out my chair real fast and I bumped into him – flirting 101,” she said.
