Luann de Lesseps Is In Violation of Her Probation Agreement, Andy Cohen Brings The Baby Home

February 9, 2019 by tamaratattles 54 Comments

Please don’t send me back to jail!

TMZ is reporting in the wee hours of the morning (what is with the timing? They seemed to have talked to her PO that didn’t happen at four am EST) that Luann de Lesseps is not following the rules of her probation.

She was told to attend two AA meetings a week for a year and to submit to random sobriety testing. While we have seen photos of her going to her PO and film of her going to AA meetings it appears she has not been consistent and has either stopped going to meetings or is not going as often as required.

She has received  a warning from the PO that she needs to comply with her plea deal OR ELSE. And the else is jail. 

She also was mandated to serve 50 hours of community service. She is half way through her probationary period and has completed 25 hours. So she is good with that part.

Get it together Lu! Jail ain’t no place for a countess.

In other news, Andy flew home with the baby on Saturday. Am I the only one that pictures a house full of mannys wearing nothing but joke straps  waiting at the apartment?

      I don’t understand comments like this.

      The baby is Andy’s DNA, ALL of his close friends are parents, and he has pretty amazing parents and a good upbringing.

        I agree with KarenK. Andy is a child, with no apparent standards for his behavior. And it would be a miracle if he developed any character at this point. His hobbies appear to be drinking excessively, recreational drugs of more than one kind, and slathering all over every man he finds attractive, objectifying all of them and using his position to put the hired help in a no-win, awkward situation. The only bad act I’ve ever seen him stand up for was any perceived diss to gays, and that’s at the least self serving. But he sure loves horrid behavior otherwise. What part of this sounds like a good dad?

    Andy has a well documented fast parting lifestyle that his salary affords him. At 50, maybe he’s willing to put it all behind him. But does a leopard change his spots? Even if he has a full time Nanny, he will have a drastic lifestyle change and it will not be all about him. Yes he has married friends , but all his friends are parents? No! I hope he is a great dedicated father. I am just asking the question related to his past behavior.

        True that but everyone was very cynical and skeptical that it would work. Same as this situation. Everyone hopes he’ll “grow up” and be a brilliant dad but it’s only logical to be a bit pessimistic. As Dr. Phil always says, “past behavior is a predictor of future behavior” (Yes, I just quoted Dr. Phil-hangs head in shame….)

    As for Andrew. I think that our man-child may have finally grown up. It sounds like with family to call on, that he has a great support system and with the means to employ help, little Benjamin will be just fine.

      Getting sober requires A LOT of humility, it’s really hard work and putting down the drink is the easiest part-essentially it sucks. I hate to sound all AA but with all the sudden accolades for her performances and working in bars it’s easy to get a swelled head and begin to drink. With a few exceptions (her behavior in Morocco) I’ve always liked her and wish her well.

        I can’t imagine. The only thing I’m addicted to is sugar. I struggle all the time with it. I hope she takes this seriously. I wouldn’t want her to go to jail.

        I always liked her and knew she had a wild side to her, even when she was acting like she was so classy and all high and mighty. I think she’s funny. In Morocco, when the camel she was riding went crazy, I died laughing. Then when she said “this is not the plaza hotel, this is Morocco.” with her deep voice and stern tone, I was like, what? haha

        I wish her well too. I never could figure what she saw in that creep Tom guy. I liked Jack, Jauk Idk how to spell his name, the french guy.

        In drug and alcohol cases the point of the system is to help people find resources to get out of the system to deal with their drug and alcohol problems. Luann has resources she should just lay low and do her shit for her own image so she can keep making money.

    I’m eimpressed with the way Andy kept a tight lip on the baby’s arrival, showed a lot of marabicqtturity, plus he’s fifty not forty five. Something about the former number that brings an understanding we don’t live forever, time to grow up. On the flip side a lot of the really young parents around me wing it and make it through. So what if Ben is a little spoiled, I don’t think he’ll lack love or attention. Andy’s pup sure doesn’t.

    Lu on the other hand has that faraway, none of this is really happening to me look. Denial is a bitch she embraces hard. Her reaching bottom sadly may not have happened yet.

        Andy obviously hasn’t had time to bond with the baby yet, so you want to put little Ben in a foster home? Calm down, a few less helicopter parents in the world won’t be missed and yes, being able to love, nature and take care of another living creature is absolutely a good indicator of being able to emotionally attach to ones offspring. Those of us who are lucky enough to be mother in laws proudly point to our new daughter in laws who first successfully raise good kittens, pups and whatever other animals they choose to “parent” first. Then we stand back, hope for the best and always answer on the first ring. As Andy’s support system will do.

            There are plenty of people who should never be parents, period. Some happen to be animal owners.

            Should there be some sort of test we ALL take before we become parents? Maybe surrogacy should be more like adoption with high hurdles to jump before someone is considered for parenting? THAT is what you are suggesting or do you just like to state the obvious that not ALL of any group automatically makes a good parent..

              Yes because I’ve seen what happens to children of parents who just want a baby for child support or who think of the kid as an accessory and school as a baby sitting service. There are more parents than not who don’t even know who their child’s teacher is, don’t pick them up after school where I have to wait almost 2 hours for someone, anyone to pick up the phone. Then when I act disgusted, they berate ME. They’re the first ones that would be crying on some cops shoulder because their baby is missing, looking to sue someone. Parents SUCK! They either don’t care at all or hover over their kids like their some sort of Ming dynasty vase. These kids are so messed up that I fear for the future.

    Re: TMZ,
    They do not always provide “breaking news.” As a long time reader, I’ve noticed that every day, at the end of the day, there is like clockwork, a story posted at 12:10am, 12:40am, and 1am. Then the site publishes no more stories. But if you’re a nightowl or a vampire like myself, you’ll soon notice that no matter how many times you check the site after 1am, there will be no new stories at all. Then in the morning, you’ll suddenly see new stories with a time stamp of 5:10am, or 6am or 7am and you’ll think, “Gee, I was awake at 6am and that story wasn’t there!

    What I’m saying is that they seem to purposely hold stories to post between 12am and 1am to make it look like they’re on the job and posting up to the minute reporting when in reality, all they’re doing is holding stories to publish at set times throughout the day/night.

    Information is power; what you do with it is up to you. 🙂

      I think people are freaking out a bit early about the meetings. She has been going just not as often as she is supposed to. The TMZ report was a little misleading, in that I believe the order was for 104 meeting with the intention of two a week. The PO probably just told her that she needs to get back on her meetings as she is falling behind she might have been to 30 of the 48 or so she should have by this point, it’s not a big deal.

      What I would think WOULD be a big deal is not being available for the random sobriety checks. THAT is a problem.

    As for Andy, I would think that a 50 year old pot head who has been rumored to use cocaine regularly in the clubhouse before WWHL as alleged by Kathy Griffin, who is notorious for going to gay sex party events in P-town and having random hook ups, might give some pause about his ability to parent an infant in a sudden fit of maturity,

    The boy will graduate high school when he is 58 and college when he is 62. While old men father children in their 60s and 70s they have mothers that receive checks and do the day to day parenting.

    That said, I certainly am hopeful that he will be a great father and be surround by lots of his female friends. Kelly Ripa says he is going to be fantastic and have tons of loving support, so that is certainly encouraging.

In AC’s case, one (immature) parent, 2 elderly grandparents. That’s it. Where is the family/support system for this child when AC tires of parenting?

Weird he never discusses his love life so we have no idea if he’s in a relationship. Never discusses it or shows pictures of his boyfriend/hubby if he has one. On another note, hope TT posts on what appears to be another tea spill on Wendy Williams and more ominous signs of real trouble.

    How on earth can they get that information from her PO?? Like Tamara said, it’s probably just a warning to get back on regular meetings. When I got out of rehab they suggested a meeting a day. Which I did almost without exception besides running a business, and I had 3 teenagers at that point, ALL of whom played sports. I really felt encouraged when she mentioned that there were a lot of meetings near her, she would be amongst her “peers” (UES). And was hoping she would make new (sober) friends. You can do this LuAnn! As for Andy, I too was a recreational drug user until I had my first child at 30. That straightened my ass up!! I dearly hope that his son becomes the focus of his life-I don’t think he would become a father unless he was ready for a change. My father had his seventh at 50, my mother was 42. I am hoping for the best for both of them 🙏
