Real Housewives of New York star Luan de Lesseps recently recalled she met the Notting Hill actor in a restaurant, detailing their heated encounter in an interview with Too Fab.
However, Grant has now spoken out on the topic, saying he doesn’t exactly remember things the same way.

“Steady on,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a screenshot of a People article detailing de Lesseps admission.
“I do remember meeting a charming RHNY in a restaurant, but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago.
“I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine.”
De Lesseps didn’t exactly respond to Grant’s post, but she did leave a simple comment, sharing a gif of herself crying laughing.

The reality star didn’t tell Too Fab when exactly the encounter had happened, but she did share that it came about when she was in the Hamptons and a friend called telling her that Grant was at a restaurant called Pierre’s.
“I called and said, ‘Get the table right next to Hugh Grant’,” de Lesseps told the publication, adding that she was able to pull some strings as she knew the owner of the restaurant.
“I said, ‘Sit me right behind him’. I pushed out my chair real fast and I bumped into him – flirting 101,” she said.
“I bumped into him and said, ‘Oh I’m so sorry.’ He knows who I am because I know Andy [Cohen].”

De Lesseps said she quickly apologised and offered to buy the actor a shot because she felt “terrible.”
”He goes, ‘OK, but I’ll come have a shot with you if you do one with me,'” she continued.
“Before you know it, we are taking shots and making out…heavily at the table!”
