Oops, LuAnn! The little green monster made with jelly is showing! LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York, spoke about Bethenny Frankel’s departure from the show last year.
She spoke at the launch party for her disastrous video last week, where she also debuted this blonde hair.
Bethenny Frankel, currently filming Season 3 of her show, Bethenny Ever After, sold her SkinnyGirl Margarita brand for a reported $120 Million, and was recently featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine

Countess Luann de Lesseps is not shedding any tears over Bethenny Frankel.
“I’m so glad she’s gone,” she tells The Famous. “Oh, yeah. Let her go off with her husband, off into the sunset. God bless her.”
Countess says filming Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York” without Frankel is easier on the cast — especially Kelly Bensimon, whose sometimes bizarre behavior was endlessly mocked by the outspoken Skinnygirl entrepreneur.

Countess says filming Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York” without Frankel is easier on the cast — especially Kelly Bensimon, whose sometimes bizarre behavior was endlessly mocked by the outspoken Skinnygirl entrepreneur.
“Kelly’s been amazing this season, and I think you see the true Kelly,” she says. “She got a really bad rap last season. Because, you know, it’s hard to battle against Bethenny.”
Frankel, a fan favorite and frequent voice of reason on the show, dropped out last year to star in her own spinoff, “Bethenny Ever After.” Sans Frankel’s spunk, the new season of “RHONY” is no less dramatic: Countess and Alex McCord constantly clash; McCord calls Countess “haughty,” “condescending” and “vile” toward the cast.
“People do say that — and I guess I can come off that way — but it’s not ill meaning or anything like that,” says Countess, who calls McCord a “weirdo.” “I guess it’s just a different way of looking at it, and I’m not going to apologize for the way I am.”
As for the upcoming reunion episode, which the cast filmed last week, she teases: “There was some praying, there was some chanting, there was a spirituality going on aside from the drama. It’s always a lot of drama. The truth comes out. The truth comes out.”
The true Kelly Bensimon? Looks like the same Kelly from here. Without Bethenny Frankel as the voice of reason mixed with a rapier-like wit, the entire franchise is so bad it’s actually campy….in a train wreck sort of way. And LuAnn is the most ‘ridiculist” one of them all.
Who’s next? Waiting on Jill Zarin……waiting.

LuAnne – Best. Drag Queen. Ever.
Luanne is a uniquely horrible human being. Jill is mentally ill on some level. They will never get a show, ever, ever, ever! Kelly still crazy – but on meds I suspect. Good for her!
LuAnne is one of my favorite of the RHONY ladies. I hope she is featured on the new <a href=http://www.aoltv.com/2011/07/11/real-housewife-jill-zarin-to-get-her-own-spin-off-show that is in the works! I want Jill to get away from all of the other ladies, but i love LuAnne and Jill together. I think they would make a great spin-off!
LOL, Caitlin. too true.
Is this the year of the bad blond wigs on HW? This one still doesn’t beat out Quinn’s on OC, but wow this is bad.
And everything Alex was quoted as saying about Luann is completely right on the money.
I know people won’t like this because most people who write, read and respond to these blogs are rabid Bethenny fans, but I don’t really see how LuAnn’s comments were so jealous or negative of Bethenny. So what if she is happy Beth is gone or whatever? I’m sure Bethenny is happy she’s gone, too. LuAnn didn’t say anything horrible about her. And yes, Kelly is much saner this year, probably because Bethenny isn’t around to jump all over her. I myself am NOT a fan of Bethenny. I used to be when she first was on RHONY, but I can’t stand her now. Her “rapier wit” drives me up the wall, and so does her rapid fire speech. A drum roll should follow every one liner she says. It’s all just too much for me, but whatever. Apparently, many people just cannot get enough of her though and are obsessed with her every move. As for whether she’s prego or not, I don’t really care, though she still looks skinny as hell and wrinkled in that picture above.

You do not have to love Bethenny to comment on this blog…all opinions are welcome. Feel free to say whatever you want about her. You have freedom of speech here!!
Peace, Julie
No kidding, that photo really does bring out the “dumb drag queen look”…..
Countess of what? Nasty, mean and bad manners? Creepy cougar with her catch of much younger years. She is one of the most dislikable human being that I can think of. Phony and pretentious. Go back to your trailer park and stop trying to bring everyone down. Talk about a buzz kill!
well if it’s the “true” kelly this season then luann is admitting that kelly is bs crazy. why anyone thinks kelly is different this year is beyond me. she’s as kuku as she’s always been, with bethenny kelly just brought it out even more than usual. come on, the girl runs in NYC traffic next to her young daughter on a bicycle!! that’s “amazing.” luann is haughty, kelly is bs crazy, cindy is a bore who doesn’t know how to take care of her kids, and jill is just a mean, vile, lying hypocrite. get rid of all of the brunettes! they are not entertaining in the least. they are a danger to my flat screen tv.
Well said. Poor tv.
Oh, Brother! Somewhere out there Bethenney is rolling around laughing and saying “Me too, you dumb drag queen!”
