At this point, it does not seem like Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps will ever be friends. There has just been way too much drama and really goes beyond Real Housewives of New York. These two really cannot stand each other and they will jump at every possible chance to put the other’s shit on blast.
So I’m not at all surprised that Carole is capitalizing on the Luann-centered arguments from the most recent episodes. Carole has decided to speak out against Luann and call her out for hypocrisy- yet again.

Whether you are a Carole fan or not, you have to admit that the woman has a way with words. And this does make sense since she is a professional writer. That’s probably why all of her zingers really burn when she goes after the other ladies. Carole took to her Bravo blog to write about her least favorite topic of conversation: Luann.
Carole took it upon herself to do a psychoanalysis of Luann: “I feel a bit sad for Luann in this episode, because I can see in reality what I couldn’t see in real life. She’s a decent woman trapped in an idea of who she should be. A lady who does this. A woman who likes that….She is well practiced at ignoring and or denying information that conflicts with her existing belief about herself. I am a girls-girl, I live by a girls-code. I don’t date younger men. It’s how she can believe that she will teach Sonja [Morgan] to drink in moderation and be more selective with men while holding a gin and tonic in her right hand and parading men through the townhouse with her left.” Usually I feel like Carole is just look for an excuse to hate on Luann, but she makes a lot of sense here. As a longtime viewer of the show, I have been both fascinated and confused by Luann transforming from the prim and proper countess to this single lady on the prowl. In some respects she has evolved and in others she is really holding onto the past and it is all a little tough to make sense of as a viewer- so I can’t even imagine how the people who are actually in her life feel about the contradiction.
Carole got even more specific when she brought up Luann’s vacation behavior (again): “When confronted about her own aggressive behavior with men she instead talks about Ramona [Singer’s] behavior in Turks without mentioning her own -– she did bring home a married man. She did the same thing in St. Barts. When confronted with her own hypocrisy, she calls others hypocrites.” This is odd to me too. A lot of the time I don’t feel like Luann is doing anything wrong, but I don’t get why she is constantly denying her own actions that have been documented by reality show cameras. We have all seen those episodes so there really is no point in pretending these things didn’t happen.
Carole continued her analysis when she wrote, “Maybe years of covering up behavior that contradicts “the idea of her” she no longer knows the difference between truth and dishonesty? She lies about things that don’t need lying about. If you believe your thoughts are the truth does that make them the truth? Maybe it does. The truth about Lu is that she believes the stories she creates in her head, some of which are simply not true, which is why her stories never track.” Once again, Carole isn’t wrong. As much as I love Luann, a lot of her stories just don’t seem to add up…
Then Carole just went all in on some more recent incidents: “Most recently her dating history with that crazy drunk Reeeeyyyyy. Or whether or not she knew Ramona (and Sonja) had dated her new boyfriend (she did). She even lied about saying she never implied she had a hand in Skinnygirl brand even though she had implied that just an hour earlier. And remember last year she couldn’t quite tell a coherent story of why she was so upset with me after we returned from Turks? Was it because I stormed into her room? Or was she suddenly furious I was dating Adam [Kenworthy] six months after I told her? Nothing made sense.” I really just don’t get how someone can constantly rewrite history- especially when it’s been documented by reality TV cameras and the episodes are constantly repeated on Bravo.
Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Join us here for the over analyzing and snarking!
TELL US- DO YOU THINK THAT LUANN KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND DISHONESTY?
