Y’ALL We really need to talk about Luann de Lesseps. I have no idea where to begin. I could not even figure out a title for this post. Let’s begin with her newfound desire for charitable work. Or so I foolishly thought. I had read that Luann was partnering with two charities. They seemed rather odd choices for Luann, but good charities nonetheless. So good for Luann I thought. And went about my business.
Before we go any further, here are the two charities. One is to stop bullying of children in schools and online. The other is to assist incarcerated people on their reentry to society and to reduce the number of incarcerations. Two great causes. But neither seems like Luann, right?
Well as it turns out, Luann was just part a comedy podcast filming that was selling tickets to promote these two charities. Let’s presume for a minute that this just wasn’t another attention seeking moment for Luann. That it isn’t like her AA meetings where she talked about probably everything about herself other than her sobriety.
First A Word About The Charities
Stomp Out Bullying works to reduce and prevent bullying, cyberbullying and other digital abuse, educates against homophobia, LGBTQ discrimination, racism and hatred, and deters violence in schools, online and in communities across the country. In this diverse world, STOMP Out Bullying promotes civility, inclusion and equality. It teaches effective solutions on how to respond to all forms of bullying, as well as educating kids and teens in school and online.
The Fortune Society’s mission is to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities.
And Now Luann de Lesseps Feels Wrongly Incarcerated
“I care deeply about Stomp Out Bullying and I care deeply about The Fortune Society. And I feel like it can happen to anybody… and you know helping women get their lives back after something happens like that, and having been there and done it. I feel for them and I really want to help women who for the most part are incarcerated for non-violent crimes.”
Luann was not arrested for a non-violent crime. She was thrown in the drunk tank for a nine hours and ten minutes to sober up. Then Bethenny got her the best attorney money can buy and set her to a fancypants rehab that was like a Four Seasons without any wet bars. The horror!
Luann de Lesseps Feels Bullied By Police
Luann then talks to In Touch about how she was bullied by the police. “I mean I got arrested for being drunk in my own hotel,” she said, before calling the incident “absolutely” a form of bullying. “Wouldn’t you [call it that]?”
Um, let’s revisit her arrest shall we? According to testimony by the assistant state’s attorney, the Countess slammed a door and kicked at least one police officer. She also screamed at presumably everyone within ear shot, “I’m going to kill you all!”
Luann was a registered guest of the hotel booked into room 327. She had apparently spent a lot of time in the bar because she had picked up some unidentified male who it appears she thought she was taking back to her room. The pair entered room 407 as the maid was finishing turndown service on Saturday night.

Luann de Lesseps Batters A Police Officer
When the police arrived at 9:20 p.m., the unidentified male was gone and Luann was still there with her friend, Julie Olson. According to the report both of them were really drunk. Julie left when the police told her to, but Luann opted to lock herself in the bathroom.
She finally opened the door when the security guard used a key to unlock the door. Then she allegedly shoved one of the police officers in the chest with her palm, then slammed the door on his face, The door hit him in the forehead.

Luann was eventually handcuffed and put in the back seat of a police car. But she was not done yet. She managed to get her handcuffs off and tried to escape from the patrol car. She started screaming, “I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill all of you!” according to the report. She continued screaming that she was “going to fucking kill all of you” all the way to the Palm Beach police station where she tossed into a holding cell.
Despite all of that, Luann seems thrilled by recent news that her arresting officer has himself been arrested recently.
“I just know that the police officer that arrested me got arrested. He’s in jail for making false arrests. You know, I don’t really wish revenge on anybody. I think things happen for a reason and for me, getting off probation and having this happen is vindicating in a certain way. But, I do take the responsibility of not acting the right way in front of a policeman. Absolutely, but I think it was handled very…it could’ve been handled better or differently.”
I think Kyle sums up my reaction…
What’s yours?
She has the addict’s mentality “it’s always someone else’s fault”
Too bad she didn’t work her steps.
This!!!!
LuAnn is a true narcissist. Completely out of touch with real life
Triple this!!!!!!
Quadruple this!
And what she’s saying is false. The Palm Beach Police Department already made a statement regarding the officer who was arrested for misconduct – he was arrested for other cases not including Luann’s case. In Luann’s case the department investigated and found “no discrepancies.” Her case is not included in the charges he’s facing.
I thought the same thing any time she opened her mouth to speak. She’s not following the steps. Superiority complex, narcissistic behaviors.
Delusional!
Sorry to say this but she’s the last person I’d take any advice from.
Wow. I said it again! Oh good lord, cross myself (not Catholic) help this woman, I need candles too…have none other then glade. Guessing RHNYC off my schedule too. It’ll be ok, great alternate viewing options supplied here to play along with!
Sad face to Lu, loved you too long…
She is the epitome of a bottom of the barrel scum. She keeps trying to be relevant for the cameras. She is GROSS and she needs to go away!!! Far, far away!!!
Still in denial then. Poor, foolish, stupid Luann.
Sounds like she’s lost her way and her identity. She’s not a countess any more-just another out of control lush.
She gave up that title when she divorced.remember MONEY CANT BUY CLASS SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD
I.Just.Can’t.
Omg… so many issues with this flyer. How do I even take this serious? Maybe I’m clueless, but I feel like the marketing is way off.
Not to mention, Luann is delusional. She’s painful to watch on tv and even more painful to see what she does in real life. The detachment from reality blows my mind.
I was watching an old episode of housewives and Luann was working with this charity that were helping women who were recently incarcerated find clothing to go on interviews. It was either season 1 or season 2 and she took her son Noel with her when they donated some things. I think she’s worked with this charity for a while.
Barbara has been been tweeting about Luann, they’re clearly not friends anymore which I’m not surprised given the way Luann treated Barbara last season.
That charity is called Dress For Success. It was actually a big deal that Luann barely donated anything and when she talked to a woman or two in need she was very offensive and condescending. It’s interesting that you saw this as her working with a charity. It’s actually a charity that BETHENNY has been working with for years and asked all the RHONY to donate interview clothes to. Luann seemed very put upon to be asked. That scene is brought up a lot.
That was it. Sorry I don’t know the ins and outs of Luanns Past behaviours was just commenting on episode that aired this weekend over here, not even sure what series it was from. And yes she was very condescending to the women there. The camera zoomed in on Noel cringing quite a bit and he was still a child then.
So this was not the charity where she told a 10 year old girl who wanted to be a model that she could lose weight and that part was easy? How do you put your smiling cabaret photo on a flyer with a red carpet event to target bullying when you literally make kids feel like shit? She’s either a giant hypocrite or straight up delusional.
Oh, yes, who could forget that compassionate mentorship.
Money can’t buy you class and it definitely cannot buy you common sense. Andy Cohen has created a littany of lunatics who are going to absolutely lose their shit when this train reaches it’s destination. It’s too much, the delusions of grandeur and superiority are sickening especially when there are people in America who actually are persecuted and prosecuted unfairly. Luann needs to find herself, this is just sad. WTF ?!
Well said
She is a good example of white privilege
Why is that phrase ever brought up? Who in the history of the world ever said that money DOES buy you class? Money and class have never gone together.
Not directed at you @TheShadiestGrove as it is just a pet peeve in general.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s just hilarious in reference to Luann because she actually wrote an entire song about elegance is earned, money can’t buy you class, ooh la la la and she is the epitome of trashy, uncouth, unladylike behaviour. It always made me wonder how people can be so quick to point out the faults of others and are Stevie Wonder to their own. Case in point, Luann…who would be mortified and clutching her pearls if anyone else displayed this disgusting, ridiculous sense of entitlement. What happened to “Be Cool Luann” ? I miss her. I cannot stand Cabaret Luann, she is no Liza for God’s sake.
Love IT ——-> “littany of lunatics”
I have always felt Luann was a very fake person who thought she was more important than she is. She at least had a title at one point but now she has just hit rock bottom but still thinks she is the best thing that has ever happened to this world.
I have never been a fan of hers and always thought she was smug and condescending.
Ahh, just another Bravo “star” trying to change the narrative of their arrest/crimes. Thomas was just trying to kiss the nanny, Teresa didn’t read the fine print, and poor Luann was bullied. Who else am I forgetting?
I think Nene and Marlo have downplayed their rap sheets….associating their bad behavior to their youth
Let’s not forget Danielle Staub ! Wasn’t it alleged she was part of an extortion ring in a book ?
And all the ones who don’t pay their taxes. I wonder if Luann pays her taxes?
Poor Phadra, who fell madly in love with a felon, who happened to reoffend while they were married but she knows nothing about that; she was too busy raising her boys as, basically, a single mom while her man was out scamming people.
And don’t forget Porsha who only hits people because they make her do it.
Or Vickie who was only a sad, pathetic pawn in her ex man’s bid to generate sympathy by lying about having cancer, all 100% necessary because her co-stars were bullying him.
They sure know how to pick ’em.
Nothing shocks me about this woman’s lack of ability to grasp reality. She seems the epitome of narcissist, just not a smart one.
Let’s not forget she got that useless title she thinks made her royalty by boffing an old guy and getting him to marry her. Her proudest accomplishment was on her back. When I hear someone disrespecting some poor cop who doesn’t deserve it I hope they need a cop one day and none are to be found. She’s a huge narcissist, as are too many of the Bravo women.
I think she has said repeatedly her proudest accomplishment are her children.
You mean the kids that filed a lawsuit against her? Priceless.
People are allowed to make mistakes and should be given a second chance but when they can’t or won’t accept responsibility for their actions, try to shift the blame and repeatedly make the same mistake over and over again is what irritates the poop out of me. It seems with reality stars the bigger and more mistakes they make equals a bigger paycheck. For example, Amber from Teen Mom is dealing with the same accusations she had with Gary but it’s reported that she has begun filming the new season. Of course she is innocent until proven otherwise but from what I’ve read and the audio recordings of her with Andrew are shocking. I’m all for entertaining TV but when is enough enough?
Amber still having a job after the audio records were made public which made it very clear she had attacked the Ring security system with a large knife, her threats toward Andrew, all with James in the room is baffling. MTV never bothered to try to interview Andrew about any of it until very recently when they apparently tried to record a phone call without telling him and he declined was another boneheaded move. Then they let Amber bash Andrew on the reunion.
I think LuAnne is really getting a big head from her sellout cabaret show but let’s be honest, would anyone go see it if she wasn’t a housewife?
She is a big liar. She is neither humbled nor grateful and has learned NOTHING from her “lesson.” When don’t learn from our mistakes, we are bound to repeat them. How long will it be before her drinking results in another problem? And next time, no Beth to bail her out and no Barbara to help her pick up the pieces.
I wonder IF EVEN ONE of us commenting here got arrested for the same thing would be so lucky to have the assault against an officer charges dropped. Likely, no.
Another thought: I don’t know if Barbara would have been on RHNY if she weren’t LuAnn’s friend. But if she had been allowed, or inclined, to live HER story, she would have been more interesting than as Lu’s homie.
And one judgement: That poster/flier is HIDEOUS, but I doubt she had any say in the design or wording. But her choice of “stationery” for her letter is GROTESQUE and DÉCLASSÉ. She needs some pointers in the art of letter writing and appropriate stationery for anyone, especially a COUNTESS, from Patricia Altschul.
THIS 100%
Andy, if Luann is in the newest show in 2020 I think the show will lose many followers. I am so sick of Luann!!
Sweetie, Andy doesn’t read this ratchet site!
That is how I found this site!
THAT’S when the recovery can really begin, when they’re no one left to help you pick up the pieces and you have to pick yourself up, ask for help and start over. She thinks she’s done it but she really hasn’t yet.
Wrongly intoxicated, on board the Cutty Sark, full sail sheets to the wind.
T.D., I literally choked on my Diet Pepsi laughing when I read your comment – ha ha ha ha!!! Priceless and SO true!!! Lu is clearly a narcissist, as well as an alcoholic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she was already drinking again.
Oh I think that interview is clear evidence that she is.
She can’t lose touch with reality if she never had it!
This ^^^ 👏 👏👏
I really wish her 20 siblings would get together and write a tell-all…
Dang TT I had no clue that arrest incident was as bad as you described it.
Bethenny is such a smart woman, leaving RHONY at the perfect time. She’s a Queen with a capital Q and at the height of her well deserved popularity. She can party and throw shade with best (worst?) of the housewives, but she’s still a successful businesswoman who earned her success, and an example to all with her tireless charity work. Luann could have easily used her title, beauty, and contacts to make a similarly successful life for herself. Instead she let her ego and sense of entitlement turn her into a hateful, snobbish shrew who doesn’t even seem to notice that she hurts people. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when interest in her cabaret falls off and she’s no longer getting the attention she’s become addicted to.
She has now made it very clear why the Count divorced her, a dillusional train wreck, and he is certainly counting his royal blessings. A person could only take this for so long. Her poor kids.
She doesn’t realize that if you was a minority she would be dead or still in prison doing 2-3 years. She is privileged (without recognizing it) , delusional and narcissistic in her rant.
Sorry for the typo it should be *she not *you.
Right on
I really want to like Luann but then she opens her mouth 🤦♀️
And let’s not forget Luann in black face as Diana Ross. She said it was extra self tanner. Can’t believe how much she gets away with.
