The finale episode of the "Real Housewives Of New York City" was filled with more drama and action, no less. Aviva Drescher threw her prosthetic leg at her co-stars after being fed up with numerous accusations coming from the other women of the show.
Drescher, who was having dinner at swanky New York restaurant, Le Cirque, with the rest of the ladies featured in the reality show appeared to be defending herself from criticism about her health status. Daily Mail said that Drescher was absent during the group's trip to Montana, which led to co-stars Carole Radziwill, Kristen Taekman and Heather Thompson accusing the blonde that she really did not have asthma.
Drescher grew agitated with the accusations, a recurring theme in all "Real Housewives" spinoffs. That's when she took her fake leg off and threw it to the women whom she has been fighting with.
Dresher, who's also a lawyer, told Life & Style, "They would not shut the f**k up. It takes likes two seconds to take my leg off - and I thought if I banged it on the table, they would shut up. Actually they fled the table."
She also disclosed to People magazine about her drastic measures that were caught on camera, "There were three shrews attacking me and I really just wanted them to zip it."
In another interview with Access Hollywood this week, she said, "They were coming after me about the truthfulness about my asthma and they were saying that I was faking it. I would never lie I would never fake something like that, I really had a health issue. After a while I got sick of it."
Drescher didn't mean any harm, as the prosthetic leg did not hit any of her co-stars. The leg landed on the floor, to everyone's relief. However, Aviva's actions caught the attention of the other patrons at the restaurant, and commotion immediately broke out, New York Daily News reported.
Drescher's inclusion in the show was just recent, first starting as a main cast member in season five, Daily Mail said. The lawyer, who's married to banker, Reid Drescher, opened up on how she lost her leg in an accident when she was six years old through her book, "Leggy Blonde." Apart from Drescher, Radziwill , Taekman and Thompson, the show also features housewives Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.
It is not yet known if all of them will be retained as regulars for the next season of "Real Housewives," but Drescher is definitely a shoo-in.
