The big question after last night’s Real Housewives of New York season finale is – is Luann de Lesseps the Queen of Forgiveness? Or the Queen of Delusion? You might want to hold your answer until you’ve read her latest blog entry.
Luann explains that she’s forgiving Tom D’Agostino’s indiscretion because she loves him. And then lays the blame on her co-stars. Yes, we’re confused, too. Luann writes, “If you can’t forgive someone you love, than who can you forgive? I was very hurt when Bethenny shared with me, after showing the other girls, the photo of Tom at the Regency. It took me some time to pull myself together after the initial shock. My gut reaction was to think about how this looked to my friends and family, and it wasn’t until I had time to think that I began to understand what I was feeling.”
But she’s letting it slide, “We all make mistakes, and some we make in private and others we make for the world to see. After I found out about what Tom had done, I had to dig deep within myself to find the love to forgive, but I did. I forgave him shortly after reuniting back in New York. Was it easy? No way. Am I glad I did? Absolutely. We are still engaged and are finalizing our New Year’s Eve wedding plans. He’s a good man and we love each other.” She adds, “We will stand the test of time regardless of what those women try to do to ruin our happiness.” Um, “those women” weren’t the ones sucking face in a bar right after getting engaged, but mmkay.
Luann is grateful for the viewer support. “I’m optimistic about my future, and I know that regardless of what happens in life, Tom and I will always love each other. So if you take anything away from this season, it’s not the problems that arise in our relationships, it’s how we deal with them when they arise that defines us. So love without fear and forgive without regrets.”
She ends with, “Tune in to our upcoming reunion show where we work through this and our other challenges together.”
TELL US – IS LUANN FOOLING HERSELF? OR IS TOM TRULY SORRY FOR WHAT WE HE DID? IF SHE’S FORGIVING TOM, SHOULD SHE FORGIVE BETHENNY?
