A prominent figure from a popular reality television franchise has publicly refuted allegations of disruptive behavior that reportedly led to her being barred from a high-end fitness studio.
The controversy stems from claims made by a former instructor at a SoulCycle location in New York City. The instructor alleged that the celebrity, known for her role on a long-running series about New York socialites, was a disruptive presence during classes, talking throughout sessions and ultimately engaging in inappropriate conduct with a companion. According to the account, after being asked to modify her behavior, she allegedly responded confrontationally, which resulted in a ban from the premises.
In a direct response, the star has firmly denied these accounts. She stated she was never seated in the front row of the cycling classes and emphatically rejected the suggestion that she would invoke her celebrity status. “I don’t like attention,” she clarified, positioning herself as someone who prefers to use her platform for advocacy rather than personal notoriety. She listed support for charitable causes involving children, animals, artists, and the LGBTQ+ community as her focus.
She further asserted having a positive relationship with the fitness brand, noting that many of her friends are loyal patrons. “I think it’s terrible when people use other people’s long, hard work to highlight themselves selfishly for short-term gain,” she added, implicitly criticizing the origin of the allegations.
This news follows a period of personal transition for the television personality. Last year, she discussed the sale of her well-known New York City townhouse, citing her status as an “empty nester” and a desire to simplify her life. While expressing a lasting connection to the city, she explained that maintaining a large property no longer suited her lifestyle, especially as her daughter’s visits with friends had become less frequent.
Since her departure from the flagship reality series after a major cast restructuring, she has remained in the public eye through other television projects, including a recent travel-based show with a former co-star. The current dispute highlights the ongoing public scrutiny faced by reality personalities, even as they move on to new chapters in their careers.
