We knew the original story would not be without consequences. Earlier this year, Ramona Singer of the Real Housewives of New York found a utube video of Victoria de Lesseps, co-star LuAnn de Lesseps daughter, and tweeted it to all her followers;
Apparently, Victoria was kicked out of school as a result.
from the NYPost:
Victoria de Lesseps, the teenage daughter of “The Real Housewives of New York City” castmate Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, left the tony Ross School in the Hamptons soon after a video of the young de Lesseps rolling what looked like a joint and using a racial slur appeared online.
While sources tell us Victoria was asked to leave the school after the video episode, the always super-collected Countess LuAnn strongly denies to Page Six that her 16-year-old daughter leaving the school had anything to do with it.
Her rep told us, “Your information is incorrect. Victoria withdrew from Ross School five months ago, but it was unrelated to the video. She is happily looking forward to studying art in Paris this summer.”

The scandal broke in January after “Housewives” castmate Ramona Singer posted a link to the YouTube video on her Twitter feed, stating, “the countess’s daughter rolling a cigarette swearing n – - – - r!”
The clip quickly reverberated through the blogosphere. LuAnn, who wrote the etiquette book, “Class With the Countess,” was said to have found out about the clip while filming a music video in Atlantic City.
The video of Victoria quickly disappeared from YouTube and Singer later apologized to LuAnn, while the countess reportedly called her daughter’s actions “unacceptable.”
It’s not known if administrators at the private Ross School, where tuition can run upward of $45,000 a year, took note of the brouhaha over the video. Past students have included Billy Joel‘s daughter. But by spring, Victoria was already enrolled at a public school in the Hamptons.
Victoria had earlier attended Miss Porter’s prep school in Connecticut, but transferred to the Ross School so she could be closer to her New York-based family.

Yes. Victoria go to Paris and say Vive La Difference. LOL. France is very pretty, the people are kinda rude but hey cest la vie. LOL. Buh Bye Vicky the racist pot smoker.LOL
@Mlle Frog, you’d be speaking german and eating kielbasa if it weren’t for us. You arrogant snatch, YOUR trash married OUR trash so don’t act like France is so superior! SO SICK of the arrogance. Now go open a bottle of bubbly and sit your lazy french ass down while the USA saves your ass. Again. And again. Oh, and the Eiffel Tower is THE BEST thing in France EXCEPT for Normandy beach! All you have you owe to us. We OWN you!
Please, France does NOT WANT YOUR TRASH. Stay in the US where you belong with that tacky, low class, evil behavior! We do not need American racism, we have our own issues to deal with and come to terms with.
Stop sending your trash to France! Stay in the US and leave us alone!

Really, does LuAnn really think anyone believes that her daughter left and wasn’t expelled? And what better punishment for such atrocious behavior than to spend a summer in Paris, “studying art”. That’ll teach her to behave!
Well, one thing is for sure, the Housewives just keep on giving, and giving, and giving! And they think they are all THAT!!
IMO, only one woman on the BH franchise seems to be above all the cattiness and posing – My fav – Adrieanne Maloof!
money can’t buy you class.
I remember hearing that they were filming back when the story broke, but that it wouldn’t be included in this season’s storyline (obviously because Victoria is a minor). Maybe this explains why Luann seems SO PISSED at Ramona on Jill’s behalf. Also, I remember hearing that Ramona slapped a Bravo producer across the face. I wonder what event that was at?
Thanks for the update! Had wondered if there were any repercussions from that incident.
BobbiNJ, of course NOT. For BRAVO, that is just more stuff to add to the ratings. They let Dog the Bounty Hunter say those vile racial slurs and he is still on tv. Being racist sells on tv these days!
