The claws—and the leg—come out! A new preview of the July 22 season finale episode of The Real Housewives of New York City shows what Us Weekly has already confirmed: Aviva Drescher used her prosthetic leg as a weapon during an argument with her fellow Housewives at classy Manhattan establishment Le Cirque.
“The only thing that is artificial or fake about me,” Drescher says to her castmates, “is this.” With that, she takes off her prosthetic limb, slams it atop the table, and hurls it. Her horrified fellow Housewives remain (for once!) silent as they gape at the events which have just occurred.
Page Six, which first reported details of the incident, said the fight took place last fall. All witnesses at the restaurant, however, signed a non-disclosure agreement, which is why the leg-throwing was kept hush-hush by onlookers.
Drescher lost her leg in a conveyor belt accident at age 6. “I didn’t feel pain,” she said in an April episode of the show, while visiting the upstate NY farm where the event took place. “It all happened so fast. I don’t blame anyone for this accident. Accidents happen.”
