Luann de Lesseps did not start the Real Housewives Of New York reunion on a good note! The Countess was accused of plotting to take Bethenny Frankel down, and then exchanged heated words with her former friend Carole Radziwill.
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think Carole and Luann bickering over a twenty-something boy (who is likely an opportunist) makes them both fools – particularly because in the process they’ve said some truly hateful things to each other and shown some extremely unsavory sides of themselves. Even worse – they’ve lost a friend! What it is about this Adam I’m not sure, but anyone who conduces you to act that big a fool is probably not worth it!
With that said, Luann is tired of arguing with Carole and claims she would rather invest in positive friendships than non-stop nasty tweeting and snide comments. I’ll believe it when I see it!

Luann also denies having any ill-intent towards Bethenny! “I like to build my girlfriends up, not break them down, so when Carole mentioned that I made a toast to bringing Bethenny down, I didn’t remember saying this, but if I did, it was as a joke, and I own it,” accepts Luann.
“Bethenny and I have had our differences in the past, that’s for sure, but our relationship is now in a good place, and as hard as the girls try, they can’t mess with that,” adds Luann. “She’s a great gal, and I love her.” I do wonder how Carole’s new-found bestiness is affecting Luann and Bethenny’s ‘friendship’ – so far Bethenny has managed to remain neutral but this IS housewives and Bethenny is prone to striking like a viper! Funny that she thinks Lu is the snake.
Luann also defends Bethenny referring to herself as homeless. “She was,” insists Lu. “Homelessness doesn’t always equate to being poor, and not having a place to call your own or hang your hat is a very difficult situation to be in when you are raising a child.”
Moving on to Sonja Morgan‘s partying, she is finally in a better place now, according to Luann, but that doesn’t undo the past! Like Sonja’s rude manners pre-Atlantic City in making the ladies shiver in her foyer for endless hours. “I understand that Sonja was working out childcare issues, but she could have invited the girls in out of the cold and the rain.”
“The trip went from chaos to cocktails then to cocktails and chaos. I don’t mind being Sonja’s snatch guard but we love and worry about her,” explains Luann in her Bravo Blog. “She seems to be doing a lot better now since we stopped filming, and I’m so glad she resolved her lawsuit and can finally move on with her life.”
Finally the issue du jour: Carole. “Carole and I still do not see eye-to-eye on what happened. I’m completely over this situation and have publicly wished Carole and Adam all the best,” says Luann.”My issue is not with their age difference but that she didn’t consider my or my niece’s feelings when she began dating Adam (practically living together…her words not mine).”
“As for my flirtation with Eric, that’s exactly what it was and my having a bit of fun didn’t hurt anyone,” declares Luann. “My family comes first, and I will protect it to the end, and if that means losing a friend, so be it. Did I go skinny dipping with the houseboy? Yes, I did, but that’s as far as it went. What happens in Turks and Caicos should stay in Turks and Caicos! #GirlCode”
Luann ends by confronting the Countess! “As for me having an alter ego named ‘The Countess’, I’ve said this many times that the Countess is a part of who I am. Don’t you think the girls could come up with a more original or creative way to criticize me? Guess not!”
Also, about Luann’s dress… oh my! Luann says she designed it herself for the Countess Collection. I might not advertise that. Ick.
