During the Bravo reality show's reunion special, host Andy Cohen asked LeCroy if she had hooked up with "a very famous, married ex-MLB player," per the New York Post.
LeCroy clarified, "He contacted me, and yes, we DMed, but other than that there was nothing… I’ve never seen him [or] touched him," LeCroy said of the "anonymous" baseball pro at the time.
However, fellow "Southern Charm" star Craig Conover alleged that LeCroy had spoken to the mysterious athlete and had a sexual encounter over video chat. Conover also claimed she flew to Miami to see the man.
