The Truth About Leah McSweeney's Relationship With Her Family

Publish date: 2023-12-03

Leah McSweeney's storyline has definitely had one recurring theme throughout both her freshman and sophomore seasons on "Real Housewives of New York City": the rocky relationship she shares with her parents. Throughout the ups and downs, however, her prior issues with addiction have always played an integral role in fanning the flames in their troubled union. 

During an interview with "The Today Show," Leah admitted that her mother, Bunny McSweeney, had cut off all communication with her after she chose to start drinking again during her first season of RHONY. Fortunately, it wasn't too long before Leah realized she had made a mistake and chose to get sober again.

Alas, it appears that Bunny now thinks Leah has moved on to a brand new addiction: plastic surgery. During season 13, things became increasingly intense between the mother and daughter when Leah confronted her mother about the slight at a family dinner. "Everything I do, you have a criticism for," Leah said to her mother (via Daily Mail). In a rare moment, Leah's father seemingly agreed with Leah as he piped in, "You might have a point there." While Bunny first dismissed Leah's accusations, she eventually came around and vowed to support her daughter 100 percent. 

If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction issues, help is available. Visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website or contact SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
