Explosive Revelation: Carole Radziwill Exposes Trump's Lawyer as the Source of Bethenny's Shocking Photo of Tom D'Agostino at the Regency

Tom and Michael Cohen are involved in a surprising revelation made by Carole Radziwill. She disclosed how Bethenny Frankel managed to obtain a photograph of Luann de Lesseps' former fiancé, Tom D'Agostino, cheating on her at The Regency in New York City. During an interview on Heather McDonald's "Juicy Scoop" podcast on August 10, Radziwill expressed her skepticism about the situation, questioning the likelihood of Bethenny having a friend present at The Regency on a random Tuesday night, coincidentally witnessing Tom with his ex-girlfriend and capturing them kissing at the bar. Despite her doubts, Radziwill acknowledges that it makes for an interesting storyline, especially with the existence of photographic evidence.

Radziwill stated that Frankel had informed her that de Lesseps and D'Agostino's engagement was false. However, she could not reveal the reason behind this until the cast's trip to Miami. As fans of season 8 of The Real Housewives of New York City will recall, Frankel dramatically showed the cast and de Lesseps a photo of D'Agostino after consuming Skinnygirl straight from the bottle.

According to Radziwill, a friend of de Lesseps had knowledge of D'Agostino still maintaining a connection with his ex-girlfriend. She requested to be informed if they were to meet again. This friend allegedly informed her that D'Agostino would be meeting his ex-girlfriend on a specific Tuesday night at 10 o'clock, but the person who took the incriminating photo remains unknown to Radziwill.

Radziwill revealed that six to eight months ago, she was having dinner with a friend in the movie business who invited Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, to join them.

Carole Radziwill recounted an encounter where someone claimed to know her and the other Real Housewives. The person mentioned meeting her ten years ago with Aviva Drescher and proceeded to name all the other Housewives, including Bethenny, Luann, Sonja, and Dorinda. The conversation then shifted to Tom and the wedding, and the person revealed that Michael Cohen was the one who took the picture at The Regency.

Radziwill shared that Cohen, who was the then-partner of Frankel and close friends with Shields, confessed to taking the photo that eventually reached Bethenny and made its way onto the show. Radziwill mentioned wanting to include the word "allegedly" in regard to the story. She expressed surprise, believing that it was a setup by the production team, and never expected Cohen to casually recount the whole story during a dinner.

Over the years, Frankel has consistently denied being given the photo of D'Agostino at The Regency, as well as denying any involvement in setting up de Lesseps' then-boyfriend.

"I have often been asked how I could have orchestrated that photo. Am I some kind of movie director casting for roles? Like, 'Hey, Tom D'Agostino, I would like to cast you as the cheating partner at the Regency Hotel?'" she stated on her "Just B" podcast in 2021. "So in this particular case, am I supposed to believe that I am a casting director who reaches out to Tom D'Agostino, a person I do not even know, and asks him to pretend to make out with someone in a bar, all because I have a photographer waiting to capture the moment? And then I would distribute it to everyone on the show?"

After confronting D’Agostino through text messages, de Lesseps chose to forgive him, and they got married on New Year’s Eve 2016. However, their marriage ended just seven months later, but the narrative surrounding D’Agostino still persists.
