Luann de Lesseps Feels Good About Her Friendships with the RHONY Ladies!

RHONY Season 7 Reunion - Luann Countess Collection Dress

After being kind of, well, uncool at the Real Housewives of New York reunion, Luann de Lesseps is trying to snatch her Cool Countess Crown back by going the “it’s all good!” route in her latest assessment of season 7’s wrap. “Never before have I left a season feeling so good about my friendships with the other ladies,” says Luann of the reunion. “Life is too short to hold a grudge, and I’m glad that I leave this season in a good place with most of the girls. We showed everyone that it is possible for women to hold each other up rather than tear each other down, and we all went out to dinner after and toasted to a great season.”

Getting a dig and a compliment to work together seamlessly in a single delivery is the Countess’s specialty, so her assessment of Sonja Morgan follows suit. “I don’t know if Madonna actually made it to Sonja’s fashion show,” jokes Luann, “but I do know that the empress definitely has clothes. She did a great job and whether or not the right buyers were there, she brought her collection to fruition. As for her saying that my clothes ‘are for the masses’ while hers ‘are for the classes,’ I’m going to take the high road and say that every woman deserves to look great, regardless of how much they have to spend, and hopefully both our collections are making women look and feel fabulous!”

Instead of going after Carole Radziwill in her blog as much as she did on the reunion couch, Luann instead takes a gentler tactic, commenting on Carole and Dorinda Medley’s late husbands, and how each of them would feel about their wives being on the show. Luann thinks it’s interesting that “Carole said that Anthony is probably having a chuckle while Dorinda believes Richard would have been an enthusiastic supporter. I thought it was touching that Dorinda received Richard’s blessing to move on after his death, and I think she’s successfully balancing honoring his memory while enjoying her new life.”

“Did you see Ramona [Singer] nod off during this part of the reunion?” laughs Luann next. (Answer: yes, we sure did!) “This is a first in Housewives history! It shows how relaxed and comfortable Ramona’s become since splitting with Mario–and the three Pinots at lunch certainly didn’t hurt. She wasn’t fazed in the least that she fell asleep. I’m liking the new Ramona!” If Ramona nodding off = a state of relaxation, then Kim Richards stealing from Target = a state of enlightenment. In the bizarro world of Housewives, it all makes perfect sense!

Not willing to sign off until One.More.GirlCode.Reference.Is.Made, Luann launches into yet another explanation of her issue with Heather Thomson and Carole “barging” into her room in the Turks and Caicos. “I understood what Andy meant when he said that when ‘you are surrounded by cameras’ it’s hard to keep what happens in the Turks and Caicos in the Turks and Caicos…I get it,” admits Luann.

She argues, “What I don’t understand is why Heather and Carole didn’t respect my privacy enough to knock on my door and wait for a reply before barging in that morning. That’s not what good girlfriends do. It’s better to make up and move on, and that is what I did with Heather, which in turn became a Housewives’ hug-fest…not a bad note to end on. This season was the inspiration for my single ‘Girl Code’ (Don’t Be So Uncool), and the girls all love the song! Check it out and thanks for watching.”
