Luann de Lesseps’ daughter, Victoria de Lesseps, is giving fans a very… “Hope Valley haunted house” type of update — except this one takes place in the Hamptons.
RHONY Star Luann de Lesseps’ Daughter Victoria Says She Rid Her Mom’s Home of a Ghost
In a new interview with Page Six, the 31-year-old opened up about her career as a psychic medium and healer, revealing she believes she once helped rid her mom’s vacation home of a ghost. Yes, an actual ghost. And yes, apparently, he had opinions.
“Even as a young kid, I used to see some ghosts. I used to see some weird dark energy when I was probably 6, 7 [years old]. Again in my teens,” Victoria shared.
Victoria, who Luann shares with her ex-husband Count Alexandre de Lesseps, said paranormal experiences ran in the family. She explained her father’s late mother was a “white witch” who practiced radiesthesia, though Victoria said her own experiences “faded away” for years — until about three or four years ago.
According to Victoria, a “series of events,” including a split, triggered an emotional upswing and resurfaced trauma. Around that time, she opened up to a gallery owner who was showing her work.
“I was kind of talking really openly, and she was like, ‘You gotta go see my healer, Lisa,’” Victoria said.
That healer session sounds like it wasn’t exactly a relaxing spa day.
“I could see everything going on. She was ripping stuff out of me that wasn’t mine. A lot of purging was going on. And I saw this very tall — now I know, spirit guide — standing next to me: big, kind of native, all in shadow with a big jaguar,” she recalled. “[I was] very, very scared and freaked out.”
Even though the experience shook her, Victoria said the healer saw something in her and encouraged her to pursue the work more seriously. And while Victoria said she’s grateful now, she didn’t exactly run toward it with open arms.
“I always say I kicked and screamed my whole way through this process,” she admitted. “Although I’m super grateful and absolutely love it, I didn’t see it coming.”
Then came the moment that might make even the most confident RHONY viewer want to sleep with the lights on: Victoria claimed she and a fellow trainee encountered a ghost at Luann’s Hamptons home.
“The door didn’t ‘open,’ but it ethereally opened, and [the ghost] popped through. And [my classmate] was like, ‘Hey, there’s a ghost in your house! Like, he just opened the door.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, he is here,’” she said.
And if you’re wondering whether Luann ever noticed anything? Victoria claims she did.
“My mom’s actually engaged with it before,” she added. “She was in her room, and she pushed a book, and the book pushed back, and she pushed it back in.”
Victoria described the ghost as initially unfriendly, saying she’d get scared walking up the stairs at night. In one particularly chilling moment, she claimed she heard a voice tell her, “You don’t live here anymore!”
Victoria said that once she better understood the spirit — and sensed something involving his wife — he “warmed up” to her, and eventually she helped him move on.
“I was like, ‘Oh, do you want to leave? You ready to go?’ And then I think he just [left] because he’s not here anymore,” she explained.
Victoria also said she has continued helping spirits in other situations.
“Some ghosts get stuck when they have a traumatic death, like a murder, and then they can’t really move on because sometimes they need someone to just — they need a witness. They need to share their story,” she said.
In addition to psychic readings and healing sessions, Victoria offers past-life readings and tarot card readings. She also said she is writing a fantasy trilogy series inspired by “shamanic characters,” “oracles,” and “healers” in an “alternate universe.”
As for Luann? She’s staying busy too — and will next be seen touring with other Housewives legends on “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.”
