luann, i hope you and jill keep supporting eachother. Real friends do that for eachother. On the otherhand, Bethany is always insulting people and trying to gain sympathy and help from everyone she can. i have not seen her return true friendship. It all about her. Her world. You and Jill keep being friends.

If you really believe "friendship isn't about paying dues", why didn't you say that to Jill when she talked about Bethenny and the "friendship bank". You seem to be Jill's "yes woman". You agree with everything she says to her face, but then say things like the above - which contradicts what she says.

LuAnn--

Grow up! Jill and you act like high schools girls gossiping about everyone and being so judgmental. You need to look in the mirror and see that you are not a good friend to anyone. You use people to get what you want. Why don't you really volunteer to give back to the community, which means more that just having a party. Roll up your sleeves and truly volunteer to give back to people in need.

LUANN...YOU STILL HAVE IT, SWEETHEART! MAN OR NO MAN, YOU CAN SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD ALONE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Pithy!!!!!

LUANN GET REAL,,,YOU ARE COUNTLESS FOR SURE..LEAVE JILL AND BETH ALONE AND LET THEM WORK THE MISUNDERSTANDING OUT..YOUR ARE NOT A COUNTESS BUT COUNTLESS!!!

luann
i just want to say 1) i have been thru a divorce and i know how painful it is...keep your gorgeous head up...love your children and it does get better
2) you and jill are my favorite of the nyc housewives...i relate to jill because i was raised(tho am not now) Jewish and she reminds me of all my brooklyn and bronx relatives(i hope she doesnt take that as an insult lol)..its positive..

3)i relate to you because you show class..my british mother raised me to have class...you are a gentle person...the only time you ever did something i wasnt sure of was when you told(and i dont recall who it was) someone to not introduce you by your first name..you were right..but it wasnt necessary...i think people wrongly branded you as a snob..
you strike me as a gentle and loving soul...a great mother to your children and just a wonderful human being..
jill does as well...i wont knock the others(at least not on here)...my background is a masters in philosophy and a masters in counseling psych..so i am well educated..and my past includes teaching on the university level and counseling in a hospital as well as in schools...i have a knack(usually) for being able to size people up fairly well(u have to when working in a state hospital)...i liked you immediately from the first time i started watching...jill too, tho it was more obvious to me about jill..that Jewish connection doesnt go away ever...and i admire that she and her daughter are open about her daughter's arthritis...that must help thousands of kids with arthritis and other chronic problems to be more accepting of themselves(for me its crohns disease)..
luann...you are simply fabulous...just keep on being yourself...you are so full of kindness and love

Luann
I am very intrigued with your Native American background. Would be nice to get to see / know about your Native American heritage.

Luann,
Your comment:"I honestly do not know whose side Alex is on and neither does she". Why does there have to be sides? How old are you? Stop it. Maybe you should take more lesson's from Alex, and stop adding to the situation. Step back and be a true friend which would consist of just listening and not adding or trying to speak for, just listen. Which I believe would be chapter one in a book about friends "etiquette".

Just enjoy your freedom. He does not deserve you. I never liked him one bit for not participating in the show.

Lu Ann one thing read your own book, good Lord lady I am from KY and I have more class than my little finger than you do. You talk over yourself do not know when to be quiet so that says right there you are NOT telling the truth. So I am sorry you are getting what is getting what is all being laid at your door including the divorce.

Lu Ann

You are now my favorite on the show! Your classy and real. I love the way you don't let the likes of Romona and Bethany ruffle your feathers! They really need to grow up! discussing any issues in public clearly is class-less. It only makes them look ridiculous and not in control.

LuAnn, please stop switching sides. You seem to take up for the person you're with and diss the others. Just be yourself and people will be more acceptance of you. Want to be recognized as a Countess, please do what a Countess should do. Just be yourself and remain honest with yourself and people will be more understanding of you.

Lu Ann, I'm very disappointed about the comment you made on Alex choosing a side. Why should she have to choose? You are to old to be playing these childish antics. If she choosed to be in the middle and stay out of it, it's her choice. Quite frankly, she has nothing to do with it anyway, it's between you and Mario...

I am sorry I think you have to been in everyone's business. You have to be the center of attention. Maybe you should stay out of everyone's business and let them settle it them selves.

Your daughter seems nice and down to earth. She seems like she has more sense than you do.

Love the hoop earring with the stars - please tell us where to get them!!!

Luann ~
I think both you and Jill are jealous of Bethenny. I don't think it is fair that any of the other housewives should get involved in what is going down between Bethenny and Jill. You of all people preach about these type of things, and now you and Jill are acting like school girls.
Bethenny found herself a career, and a man. Friends sometimes take a backseat for awhile during this time, be happy for her and support her.

HI, luan l you the show,good luck.

LuAnn, you are the hottest babe on the show.you show the most class, self control,self confidence,common sense,never mind the best dressed and prettiest lady there.i am sure there is a very lucky guy out there waiting to meet you.good luck Steve

Does it drive anyone else insane whenever LuAnn talks about her marriage and always says my marriage of "16 years"? We get it you were married for 16 years, move on!

Luann, just remember you came into this world with nothing, you will leave with the same. Do not judge or make remarks that you cannot take back. Remember, we're all human, we all bleed and we all will eventually pass. So, please just learn to shake things off and know that words are just words... Actions speak louder. I'm sure you're a great person and do not want to bash on someone whom I see on a tv show but you need to take it down a few notches. I know it's all about ratings but don't forget your Etiquette.... just live and let live, enjoy life! I know it's been rough but that's LIFE.... ;) Good luck to you!

Lu Ann i think you have handled all your situations with eloquence and class. I think you and Jill are the mature ones on the show. The other housewives especially Ramona and Bethany seem to be very jealous and insecure, all they seem to have time to do is to gossip about others its annoying. So if it wasn't for you and Jill my friends and I wouldn't watch the show. So, thank you for handling things in a mature classy way.

Dear LuAnn,
You truly are a beautiful and well respected lady but you are so wrong when it comes to your whole bumping heads with Bethany. Bethany tells it like she sees it. So what? We all need someone like that in our lives! Why are you acting so childish about it all. You seem to stir the pot and make things worse. I think you a great woman, but sometimes it is better to stay out of other people's business.

I also have another small thing to say about the way you handled yourself when Bethany called you to go have drinks. It is ridiculous for me to see you act like you are so much better than everyone else. Get off your high horse and come back to reality. I am a hard worker and to see someone have this attitude really ticks me off! Get real LuAnn! You are beautiful and you would even be more beautiful if you did not have that attitude!!

Sincerely,
Tori

Why is there so much petty behavior this season?

I just want to say I enjoy watching the show, however let's be real, do you really think Bethenny's message was really mean sprited?, it's just a common case of Bethenny being "Direct" as opposed to everyone else being "Indirect". Jill should understand that Bethenny has/had a life with or without Jill whether she included Jill or not in her ventures is her choice, but Jill is really to old to be so "needy". Every one of you have other business ventures that you should focus on and instead the focus is on the message that Bethenny left Jill, really

Luann,
Stop trying so hard to be the perfect countess, your not from Europe!just realx and have fun, after your divorce , you should think about it..Be yourself!

Hi LuAnn,
I love watching you and Jill; you ladies are great.

LuAnn
I loved what you contributed to the show last year, however, this year you and Jill remind me of being in highschool. You are both behaving like children.

Countess,

You are by far my favorite on the show. However, I must take exception with you on one issue- Alex. Nude photos are nude photos. Where they are published is a matter of semantics. Alex's photos were published without her consent and yet you all trashed her. (Anyone remember Ramona's famous 'exiting' of the Reunion show as not to be involved with "that"?) Yet, Kelly gives her consent and all is sweetness and light. Not fair. Not at all and makes me think less of all of you still being judgmental.

LuAnn,
I think you Jill & Kelly are great & strong together.Be happy and God Bless

LuAnn do you see how you always ask people to tell you that you fab darling? It is strange really really strange

So to quote you --- Friendship isn’t about paying dues; it’s about supporting each other....shouldn't Jill support Bethenny and be happy she is so successful and happy right now instead of being the "mean girl" like high school?

Real friends know that there are ups and downs to friendships, and sometimes they end. People with grace recognize the beauty of the friendship for the time it existed, and cherish that friendship. Real friends do NOT go around and bad mouth each other after the friendship is no longer close.

LuAnn,
I think you are fabulous and I love you on the show! I like the RONYC more then any of the other housewife shows and you are a huge reason why.

Lu Ann, in the episode when Victoria and you were driving in that M5, it is hot that you know how to drive stick shift car!

Dear Luanne,
I love you no matter what people says.I am so glad you are on the show..I enjoy watching you very much and your amily.You remind me of my self...Love you

Luann,

Very Sexy!!

Alex should not pick sides nor should you!! To be honest countess I preferred when you didn't either, I'll blame it on the divorce you have been through. I wish you would treat everyone with kindness, that you find true love, and most importantly that you retract to the behavior or a diplomatic woman. If you have nothing nice to say, ZIP it!!
Peace and Love...

Where did you get that turquoise necklace you wore last season- I love it!

You, Jill and Ramona are 100% WRONG when it comes to the nude photos. Kelly posing for Playboy is far worse than Alex posing for her husband. Kelly's pictures were purposely put out in the public to be seen by the whole world. Alex's pictures were released without her consent. Completely and utterly different!

I like you, but wow you really do need to watch the show sometime. I can't think how you reconcile manners and etiquette with your behavior and judgementalism sometimes because they seem very much at odds.

Luann- I am so sad about your divorce, and feel so sad for you. The pain on your face is very real. Stupid Kelly "I felt I was alone" People say such stupid things. I love how you're focusing on your kids (as opposed to naked Kelley- me, me, me.) Hang in there. You're a beautiful, smart woman. You'll come out of this!

LuAnn, You have raised a thoughtful, kind, very lovely daughter who is also naturally beautiful. You must be very proud. Also, I have seen some photos of you out and about in NYC and I must say that you look gorgeous!! However, it is time to stop losing weight!! You look perfect!

LuAnn, I think you should see a therapist to get you through this sad time of your life.You are such a beautiful woman but you seem so unsure about your looks and keep asking people how do I look ,etc.Don't let the shabby way the Count treated you make you have doubts about yourself.The fault lies with him, not you.You'll heal but it takes time.I'm rooting for you.You're a strong and intelligent lady so you know what I'm saying is true!

Don't judge something which you don't know everything about. You heard only the message left by Bethenny. You didn't hear or read the message that Jill left for Bethenny which lead to Bethenny's response. As the old saying goes, there's three sides to every story...Jill's, Bethenny's, and the truth.

LUANN - stick to your values - don't be a follower - you have so much to give - you are a divine fruit...

why do you refer to Bethenny as an enemy? Is she an enemy to you or Jill? I think you are putting yourself in the middle of something that has nothing to do with you. Leave it between Jill and Bethenny, we don't need your two cents about everything!

I have to say after watching the episodes so far you are quite judgemental. You only know Jill's side of the story and she only played you part of the voicemaail from Bethenny. Yet you jump in on Jill's side and have to put you two cents in. I think you are a very unhappy person. It seems you only have a good time when you are gossiping about Bethenny, Ramona, or Alex and Simon's kids. If I was Bethenny I would have walked out on you when she met you for drinks and the first thing you say is it is okay you are late when she had to come a long way and traffic was bad. Maybe you should have met her the first time she offered. And you calling her snarky is like the pot calling the kettle black. You need to start practicing what you preach and stop being a hypocrite.

Love ya, Luann!! But you'd better start rereading your "Class with the Countess" book again, because listening to other people's messages ON THE AIR and telling Jill a silly story about Alex's kids is not classsy behavior. You've been through a lot, but you seem too focused on yourself this season, take a long look in the mirror, please!!
