Real Housewives of New York City went on a production break before the holidays, a source tells PEOPLE

Even though Real Housewives of New York City didn’t shoot Luann de Lesseps‘ arrest in Palm Beach, the incident will be very much a part of the new season, multiple sources tell PEOPLE.

“The RHONY cameras were not filming at the time of Luann’s arrest,” one insider says. “They went on break before the holidays and will return filming early in the New Year.”

“It’s reality. They follow their real lives,” the source explains. “So if this is happening while filming is happening, they’re going to talk about it. They’d didn’t shy away from Tinsley’s arrest. They didn’t shy away from Bethenny’s court drama.”

De Lesseps, 52, was arrested Saturday night after she was discovered trespassing in the wrong hotel room with an unidentified male, according to a police report. She was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on an officer/firefighter/EMT, resisting arrest with violence and threatening a public servant.

Police say de Lesseps “shoved” the officer who responded to the scene and “slammed” the bathroom door on his forehead. De Lesseps later also told police, “I’m going to kill you all,” according to the affidavit.

“This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding, and being here brought up long-buried emotions,” she told PEOPLE in a statement. “I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I might have offended with my behavior. I am committed to a transformative and hopeful 2018.”

A source told PEOPLE, “Luann was out with a girlfriend at the Colony Hotel where she had her wedding brunch just a year ago — it was the first time she had been back to Palm Beach since the wedding.”

“Memories from that day came flooding back, she was emotional and her behavior was out of character,” the source added.
