The NY Post is reporting that Victoria de Lesseps, daughter of Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, was quietly expelled from her private school months ago after a video of her rolling what appeared to be a joint and using a racial slur appeared online.
Sources tell the Post Victoria was asked to leave the Tony Ross School in the Hamptons after the video episode, but LuAnn denies the report to Page Six, instead stating Victoria left the school on her own.
The Real Housewives of NYC starâs rep tells the Post, âYour information is incorrect. Victoria withdrew from Ross School five months ago, but it was unrelated to the video. She is happily looking forward to studying art in Paris this summer.â When did this video come out you ask? Exactly five months ago but remember, it was completely unrelated.
In the video, which we were able to view before it was taken down from youtube, Victoria was video chatting with a friend before she started rolling what appeared to be a joint and continuously using the ân-word.â You can read more about that here. And days after the video leaked online, photos of the 16-year-old came out showing her drinking and smoking. LuAnn issued a statement back then calling her daughterâs actions âunacceptable.â Tuition at the private school is said to run upward of $45,000 a year.
Meanwhile, one of our readers alerted us to an old unflattering report from the NY Post about the Countess. See back in August 2008 (before our blog existed), the Post reported the Countess, along with her then husband the Count Alexandre de Lesseps, attended a wedding in the Hamptons and acted like a drunken mess in front of 200 guests.
The Post reported LuAnn yanked the mike away from Andy Hilfigerâs band and proceeded to sing two songs. âShe knocked over the drum set while smiling at the horrified guests,â a source said.
Oh but if only it ended there. LuAnn then turned her attention to the poor unsuspecting guests. âShe was trying to make out with women and married men,â the source said. âA pregnant wife caught her in the act, stormed off and walked home in disgust.â The Count âtried to make her leave and was seen throwing her to the ground in the parking lot,â the spy continued.
âShe wasnât just kissing the married men, she was also grabbing their [crotches],â another witness told the Post. Yikes! And while LuAnn and her husband denied the allegations to the Post, the groom stated, âAt these parties, people always get frisky. All I can say is that she didnât try to grab me.â
Less than a year later, LuAnn would go on to write a book about class and etiquette. You know what they say dahling â âMoney Canât Buy You Class.â
TELL US â THOUGHTS ON BOTH OF THE REPORTS BY THE POST? SHOCKED BY LUANNâS PAST BEHAVIOR?
