“The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” star Kelsey Swanson is clapping back at a fan who claimed she used to sell her body for money. In a sneak peek clip of Part 2 of the “RHORI” reunion, Swanson, 31, tells host Andy Cohen that the claims are flat-out false. Elsewhere in the special clip, Swanson speaks a bit more about her past relationship with one of Rhode Island’s wealthiest residents, stating that she didn’t believe he was the one spreading the lies.
“I’ve never sold any of my holes for money,” Swanson told Cohen in a special clip of the upcoming reunion, shared by Us Weekly. “Let’s just get that straight.”
Swanson’s statement was in response to a fan who said the reality star used to “charge $29,000 for dinner and dessert” dates.
Swanson told Cohen and her co-stars that she was being harassed by someone who edited photos to make it appear as though she was an escort.
She went on to say that the unnamed person was stealing her photos and creating fake pages in her name, adding that she had “no idea” who it was.
“All of a sudden it stopped,” she said. “I know it was some, I think, actual escort in Boston, who was hanging around the same crew of people that I was hanging out with.”
Swanson Opens Up About Her Previous Relationship With One Of Rhode Island’s Wealthiest Residents
Cohen asked Swanson whether she believed her ex-boyfriend (who wasn’t shown in the series but was mentioned) could be behind the rumors, to which she replied, “I don’t think so.”
Regardless, Swanson said she didn’t care who was behind it because the rumors were false. “I’ve never been an escort and I would never be an escort,” she said.
In a previous interview with Us Weekly, Swanson got candid about her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, who, during the time of filming season 1, was in Florida with his other girlfriend.
“My relationship is very unorthodox. This man dates multiple people,” she said in April 2026. “For the first half of the year, my boyfriend is in Miami. When he’s in Miami, he’s with somebody else.”
Swanson Has Moved On From Her Ex And Is Now In A Relationship With New Partner, Bill L’Europa
Part of Swanson’s season 1 storyline was about her navigating life without her ex-boyfriend’s resources. And while they’re no longer together, she made it clear that even when they were, she never identified as a “sugar baby.”
“Nothing close to it,” she said. “The only man I ever dated with money [is] my boyfriend.”
Season 1 also showed Swanson moving on with her new boyfriend, Bill L’Europa. “I’m only in one relationship now,” Swanson said. “You’ll see as the season progresses where that goes, but I am in a relationship. [I have a] boyfriend, I will label it that, but not married, and no kids.”
Swanson Got Into It With Her ‘RHORI’ Co-Star, Rosie DiMare
In Part 1 of the “RHORI” reunion, Swanson bumped heads with her nemesis, Rosie DiMare. Earlier in the season, the pair feuded over relationship rumors and alleged lies about money.
According to a previous report from The Blast, the pair’s beef reached the point of no return when Swanson appeared at DiMare’s home with a bullhorn and poked fun at her new renovations.
I couldn’t even wrap my head around this was happening,” DiMare said about the incident. “And she’s like, ‘What? It was funny.’”
For those who missed the episode, DiMare physically pushed Swanson out of her home after her comments, creating an even bigger divide amongst the group.
Swanson shared her thoughts on the matter, too, saying she was only joking with DiMare about her home renovations.
“Take a joke,” she said. “It’s not that serious.”
Swanson went on to say that she only joked about her co-star’s home because she thought they were in a much “better place” than before.
She said, “I’m gonna bust her balls a little and make light of the situation.”
DiMare wasn’t on the same page as Swanson, though, stating, “You just wanna make fun of me, and now you’re coming to my house, and you’re gonna do it again? Seriously, it’s f-cked up.”
Part 2 of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” airs on Bravo on Sunday at 9 PM ET.
