Be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool.
Luann de Lesseps is slamming her former assistant, Danny Marin, for stirring the pot on social media with negative accusations about the reality star amid the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s utterly disgusting that a disgruntled ex-employee would take swipes at me during a global pandemic,” de Lesseps, 54, exclusively told Page Six on Wednesday. “His timing here speaks volumes considering its been a year since he last worked for me and with the premiere of ‘RHONY’ Season 12 coming up.”
Marin called the Countess out on his Instagram Tuesday, posting a video of him feeding the “Real Housewives of New York” star the lyrics to her “Feelin’ Jovani” single while on the set of her music video, and claiming she never gave him credit for it.
“FUN FACT: I was the only reason why #countessluann knew her lyrics while filming her music video, got dressed in time, had jewelry on, had multiple shoe options, wrangled her Housewife friends,” he wrote. “OH YEAH THAT’S RIGHT, but I didn’t get a credit helping for 18 hours straight filming the #FeelinJovani music video.”
Marin also appeared to allege that de Lesseps may have been drinking while on probation. The “RHONY” had reportedly given up alcohol after she was arrested in December 2017 for disorderly intoxication.
In January, she admitted to “drinking responsibly” only after her probation ended.
“All I want to say is sobriety is not a game,” Marin responded to a fan’s question about the Countess’ drinking, without actually confirming or denying that de Lesseps ever violated her probation. “Rehab is not a storyline.”
The former employee claimed he was never fired, and said, “The reality is I quit twice.”
De Lesseps and Marin were last pictured together on his Instagram in May 2019. He captioned the photo, “Countess and Fr-amily.”
On social media, people questioned why Marin decided to bring up that he essentially worked as a “PA,” or production assistant, on set as if it were “tea.”
“I didn’t get credit along with every other person who helped on set that day,” he responded. “The tea here is she doesn’t respect people’s hard work.” He did not disclose whether he was seeking financial compensation or simply public acclaim.
Marin did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
