RHORI’s Kelsey Swanson Hits Back at Escort Allegations
Published April 5, 2026 at 3:33 pm
Kelsey Swanson is shutting down some seriously sketchy rumors about her past. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star just clapped back at a report claiming she worked as an escort before joining the Bravo hit—and she’s not holding back.
The allegations surfaced this week, but Kelsey came out swinging. She denied the claims outright, calling them false and asking fans not to believe everything they see online. “Don’t believe everything you read about me,” she said, making it clear she’s done entertaining the gossip.
This isn’t the first time Kelsey’s faced criticism since landing her RHORI peach. The housewife has been pretty vocal about protecting her privacy when it comes to her pre-reality TV days. Still, having your personal life dredged up on the internet? Rough.
Her castmates have been relatively quiet on the drama so far, but you know they’re all watching this unfold. Kelsey’s sticking to her guns and moving forward—and honestly, good for her.
