De Lesseps, 52, hosted the 3rd Annual Foodie Ball on July 18 in New York City. The event came only days after they were involved in a physical altercation at a restaurant.
“He would talk to friends at the bar, while she mingled with guests,” an eyewitness told RadarOnline.com at the time. “She would grab him once in a while just to make rounds.”
D’Agostino ditched his wife halfway through the event, leaving right before she made a speech about the cause.
Later in the evening, she was caught on camera flirting with two men at the bar. "She was laughing with these two men at the bar after her husband left,” the onlooker said. “At one point she leaned on his shoulder.”
