Of Luann's time in rehab, Bethenny said, “She’s taking care of herself. She’s taking it seriously. She’s not delusional about where she is. And she’s sort of on a path and she’s in a good place. She’s very honest about exactly where she is, about what happened, about what her goals are, and we spent time in a spa and honestly I’m impressed.”
Luann spent the better part of January in rehab for her alcohol issues, before returning to New York. "It’s good to be home. I’m doing great," she tweeted. "Spending time with friends and family. Thanking everyone for your continued good wishes and support."
