Your behavior seems hostile, not surprising after a divorce. I do believe your aggression is misdirected. Your real target should be your ex husband. I guess you have left many things unsaid. Take care of yourself, you seem exhausted. Maybe you should practice being extra kind if you want the other housewives to reciprocate like behavior. God bless.

Countess - You dress with so much class. I enjoy watching the show just to see your incredible style. I loved the dress you wore during the reunion show. Who was the designer??? Loved It!!!

Countess,
Though I think you are very classy, I think that your comments about how "Men are tired of being equal with women" was completely wrong. You should support strong, opionated women like yourself, not brainwashed Stepford Wives.

LuAnn
I think your great. You give advice because you care but not everyone takes it that way some seem to think your being rude but I think your a careing person and if you have something to offer that you feel will help then you want to help they need to stop being so sensitive.

Luanne, I really liked you in the first season, but your obsession with your title has made me sad. Our constitution says.

"Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

“ No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state. "

So unless Congress has granted you the tile of Countess in the US, we along with the pizza delivery people do not have to recognize your title, which does not exist in the United States and is unconstitutional. I'm sure your a Countess in Spain, but it's illegal in the US for you to be a Countess.

Sorry, I see your fundraisers, but I've sent a husband to Iraq for three tours, I'm not arguing about who is going organize the cocktails or appetizers. If I only had that to worry about. You guys have a great exposure, and you use it so blithly. True heroes are so under-rated. I loved Ben Steins last article, there wasn't any fashion shows or smoozing. You have an audience, use it wisely.

You seem so calm housewives overall! You and Kelly are so cool together. Keep invite to all your events; especially, Bethenny is there who doesn't like Kelly much. So drama. Romada and Alex & her husband - what is it going on her? "NO DEPTH" LOL

I love to watch the show but I gotta say when you come on I run for the remote and have to mute you. I cant stand the wat you ALWAYS find it your place to tell people how they should act or what they should say. Your a so so catalog model give it a break. Id be curious to know what kind of person you were before you got your countess title not like that means anything in the US. I hope someday you watch the show and see the way you treat people and are ashamed of yourself. You annoy the hell outa me (just had to tell you)

Again this week you are completely uncountess-like. You actually sat in a fashion show ripping apart the other housewives. How is that polite? role-modelish? becoming of royalty? Talk about contradictions - the new, self-appointed dean of etiquette pointing out the faults of others in public? Oh my land, Countess, please take a giant dose of reality.

OMG! Did you even realize that the entire time that you were "devoting time" to the "American Cancer Society" there was a woman that was clearly going through chemo (wearing a pink baseball cap) doing prep work while the rest of your "privelidged @sses" thought you were doing her a favor? Good Lord, get a grip you pompass snops. Romana? Stop the crack or else the botox. You look like you are going to go postal at any given moment. As for the your Countessness and the model. I've seen better horsemanship on the fence line. However, I bet you know nothing of that. Bethany...Eat. Jill? Keep it real.

I just wanted to add that I support the donation that she is putting into cancer research. I would like for LuAnn and everyone to check out cancersucks.com, charity that raises money for cancer research by hosting several different events throughout the year...

I think what Ramona said at the hope lodge was distastful. Doing it in front of your daughter made me want to reach through the tv and slap her. You go girl!

Dear Countess,

For the sake of your children join the rest of the planet earth....."Countess is Countless" this is 2009, no one in the real world cares about the "Countess Stuff". Leave the attitude behind and join the real world. Your daughters friends looked like they were being TORTURED at the luncheon, if you are writing a book, good manners is "not making a horses A-- out of yourself bragging and self promoting all of your wonderful character.

The act is OLD AND TIRED. It looks SILLY at best.

LuAnn,
Keep doing what you do best, be you. Just remember your audience, you have Ramona who will look for any sign of human fault to validate all of her short comings and Bethenny who is ultra sensitive due to her own feelings of rejection from her boyfriend (possible other circumstances too). I say stay close to Jill, because she will always tell you as it is, to your face, hate it or love it. I also like how you were giving great relationship advice and the manner in which Bethenny received it as if you were trying to undermine the entire feminist movement. I think it is a case of let the record speak for it self, you are married and have been married for a while. Meanwhile Bethenny is still trying to find her self value in other people's words. Good luck with all of them!

ok i am watchin ur show rite now and i luv this show so much plus ur son is very hot and i think bethany took the tuch up thing way to seriously!!!!!!

LuAnn,
Alex is my first favorite, you are my second, you make me smile. I love the way you carry yourself and i love how smug you are. You are a hoot!

You are my favorite housewife.

Luanne. I think you are a nice person...however you come across on the show as being above everyone else. You correct people too much....its pretty rude. Take care. Great show.

A title doe NOT give you class. Remember you were MARRIED into it. I have friends here in Texas who are MULTI BILLIONAIRES that came from nothing. They treat others with so much kindness and class and they actually WORKED for what they have. You on the other hand live in your own little world and seem to think that money makes you who you are. You are NO countess to me.

Countess...Please ignore the people who so rudely are slamming you, I sense some jealousy from these posters.
People do not understand what royality and what nobilty are, they do not understand that your title engades you in social repsonsibilty.
I have no fear of your title, you use it to do vast works of charity.
I am so embarrassed by some of these posts, they are harsh and unfair.

I like LuAnn you remind me of myself. But I have to say you have tried to tell people who you are in a million ways and I still don't know who are! Relax enjoy the show with economy being the way it is right now we don't have time to go back in history!

ONE WORD FOR THE "COUNTESS".... ugh!!!!!!

So, when Ramona made the comment about your husband is an old man... your reaction to that was quite interesting, not that it was wrong. However, I'm twenty and I've been with and dated my fair share of older men-being in their late thirties and earlier forties...and trust me I've been commented on thousands of times, but I don't care because my opinion is what matters at the end of the day. Soooooo if you ever get a comment like that again just let it roll off your shoulder because you know your husband is a stud, and Ramona's opinion is so miniscule.

Dear Countess, let everyone know that the great family that you came from has a dubious past.

failure of the project is sometimes referred to as the Panama Canal Scandal, after rumors circulated that French politicians and journalists had received bribes. By 1892 it emerged that 150 French deputies had been bribed into voting for the allocation of financial aid to the Panama Canal Company, and in February 1893 de Lesseps, his son Charles (b. 1849), and a number of others faced trial and were found guilty. De Lesseps was ordered to pay a fine and serve a prison sentence, but the latter was overturned by the Cour de Cessation on the grounds that it had been more than three years since the crime was committed.

And 27500 workers died in this debacle.

I'm a bit confused. You appear offended if not addressed with the title "Countess" in front of your name. These titles are outdated and meaningless anymore, aren't they? And, I believe the peasants ran to the U.S. to get away from people with titles, so why should we care? You seem to feel superior and expect respect that is not required nor warranted. Were you like this before you married the Count, or did it come with the title?

I think you're great, LuAnn. There's nothing wrong with giving advice to others, but only if someone ASKS for the advice. Though I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge & experience to share with your friends & with the viewers, sometimes you come across as if you believe you know better than anyone else.

I also want to add that the women you SHOULD be giving advice to are in OC, not NY. I think Tamra & Vicki could benefit from a session of "Class With The Countess." Please consider doing us all this service and educate them. Thanks!

The way you treated your housekeeper (and the woman who spends so much quality time with your children) upon her arrival back to your home after a vacation was pompous and rude! You commented on how much you missed her and how awful it was that you had to do "her" chores while she was gone but you didn't even respect her enough to say "we missed you" or have the kids make a cake or even a welcome back banner! You took her to the laundry room and instructed her on what she needed to do for you and then the family proceeded to open gifts she brought back with her! Gross!

Dear Countess:

I adore you and am very pleasd that you are including a chapter on "teen" etiquette in your book - a greatly needed chapter in these times.

I must admit I was taken aback at your comment to Bethany regarding the airbrush "scandal", nonetheless, I admire and adore you greatly!

I still do not understand why you were so upset by the comment made about your husband's age. People say that to me and my husband is only 6 years older. I like older men and I have never taken any offense to that comment. My husband laughs at it and he has told me that he likes that people think are ages are far apart, he said he likes that people think I am younger. It is not a big deal for other people, why would that comment upset you ?

Countess LuAnne -
While I am unsure if you actually see these notes, I decided to take a chance and hope that you do.

I want to express my gratitude for the class, grace & elegance you have shown. It does not take money to carry ones self with manners. You are the only one on the show who has shown this to me. As a woman living in the very low end of the financial scale and trying to raise three decent young men, I appreciate what I have learned from you. I will purchase your book and look forward to reading it.

Peace 1st -
Oz

Luann,

I think you are great! I love you and Ramona this season! Bethenny has become annoying...I thought she was VERY rude to you when you mentioned your book deal to her. Why does she feel as if she is the only one that deserves success?????

Dear Countess - I just love watching you on the show. I admire you very much and please continue to hold your head up. I feel that a title puts the others off, so the only way they can deal with it is to downplay it so that they feel elevated to you. You know in your heart that you are trying your best to support others in need. I admire that you are involved with charities and support your other castmates in their causes as well. I love how you handled Bethanny's issues about the magazine cover...she is ultra sensitive because she did keep harping on it as though she was enjoying putting you through an apology that could've been wrapped up in two words - "I'm Sorry!" I look forward to seeing you on future episodes and I'm rooting for you!

I don't get why people are always criticizing the housewives one way or another. I think you are all cool and bring something different to the show.

Whenever someone wants to write a book or do some other project, why don't people simply wish them the best?

Anyways...all my friends and I enjoy watching you and like your perspective. Keep it up.

Countess de Lesseps, I enjoy watching you on the show. You have great class and character. At the same time you know how to have fun. You handled yourself eloquently when Ramona made the age comment about your husband. I think we should all strive to have that much poise. I would've had to hold myself back not to slap her. I also want to thank you for the work you do to fight cancer. I lost my uncle a few years ago, and it was so hard to see how he declined in his last days. You must have a tremendous heart, as you were there by your father's side in his final days. It takes a very strong person to do that. The fact that you are now using your experience and your resources to help others, is a true testament of your character. Keep it up!

For heaven sake, convince your "Housewives" friends to go with you to a local movie theater and watch "Slumdog Millionaire." You women all need a good dose of true reality. If and when you allow the impact of that movie to sink into your consciousness, maybe you'll realize how truly fortunate you are to have such rich lives - not that any of you deserve those lives, but neither do the poor deserve to live in horrendous slums and there by for the grace of God...

Hi LuAnn
Just watched an episode relating to your father's battle with cancer. I'm participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a bike ride from Vancouver to Seattle. Would you like to sponsor me?

Thanks,

I agree with the viewer "Candy" who advises you to quit giving Bethenny advice, and to stay away from Ramona! I also agree that they are insecure. They are mocking you. The interaction with Ramona was at an inappropriate time/venue however, you are human. She hurt you, and she did so in front of your child. People are being very hard on you. Countess or not mean spirited people can sometimes get the best of you. You reacted as many would. Especially since your daughter was involved. I admire you. I like your easy sense of style, and the fact that usually you seem to be quite comfortable in any situation. Viewers should remember that you are human afterall, but you may want to choose your friends wisely ;) you don't need the negativity. It is nice to see you getting to be closer to Kelly.

Hi countess! I actually disliked both you and Ramona last season, but love you both this season! Even though you two sometimes disagree, I think you are both great women, and good caring moms.
On the other hand, I really liked bethany last season, but find her intolerable this season. She seems very self absorbed, and I thought she was very rude to you when you told her about your book deal. It almost seems as if she feels she is the only one who deserves succcess..Possibly bc she didn't have the easiest life.

Give LouAnn a break. She's totally fun to watch, full of contradictions, smooth, great sense of humor, and gracious. I like Kelly as well. As far as the popular Bethany and Ramona are concerned, I don't trust them. They act like they do not BS and 'say it like it is' but you know what...it's the in-between lines that are troubling. They are ultra sensitive when their egos are at jeopardy. They are extremely judgmental if other people don't behave in the psudo common man style....remind me of the workers in the kitchen who attack anyone who does not curse.

I personally think the whole cast and the show are annoying. First do you guys know ANY Black people? Do you even speak to any? Oh yeah, you comment that the housewives of Atlanta were like a "bad rap video"???!! Wow...even though you all are just as catty and Lord knows Bettheny is just as wild and outspoken as any one of them. Yes NeNe was a bit ghetto but the rest of the cast was just like you guys. Uh..white girl Kim was just as bad. Shawne of Atl had more class and was sweeter than any of you. Racism will never end..especially when it comes to white folk with money!!

Countess,
I think you are wonderful and kind, you care about others. I recently lost my mother to cancer and the scene at Hope Lodge last week so upset me. You knew why you were there but Bethenny and Ramona, how selfish that they were discussing ridiculous things in the midst of people who are obviously undergoing cancer treatments. your comment to Bethenny about her photos to me sounded like a concern not a dig. She is so sensitive yet she cuts other people apart any chance she gets...please let go of her as a friend...she does not deserve you at all. Thank you for all the work you do to help others. Your children are so well behaved and respectful and that does not happen by itself. I commend you!!

Dear Countess,
In these trying times, you a great inspiration to me. I admire your amazing grace and class. It's such a lost art. I've ordered your book and I plan to re-invent my self. It's never too late for personal growth and improvement!

I love all the cleaver and to-the-point comments on here....they're absolutely spot on. You are completely transparent, vain....basically, someone that obviously feels the world revolves around themselves. I'm sure Bravo loves all the drama for ratings, but to the viewers it's disgusting. Ax this truly DESPERATE woman from the show.

I find the show atriously funny.

LuAnn, please show a little class at the charity events. Practice what you preach. Please don't give out equitette tips, or dating advice modern women are cringing.

You are no Princess Grace or Princess Diana, you seriously lack the humility or grace, especially those around you. Although you are rightfully human, you don't come close to what a real countess is.

Here on Long Island we have a real Countess that donates her time and money to Mather Hospital and other projects. In public, the Countess is gracious, caring and generous, and she touches the lives of so many people on Long Island. She gives dignity to terminally ill patients, especially to the children. And regardless of her title, her beautiful spirit emanates through, and people gravitate towards her. I think being a good countess probably doesn't make high ratings on Bravo, so stick to your persona.
What's next LuAnn? A variety/sports show "Countess" LuAnn wrestling Hogs in mud. Who names their child LuAnn?

Luanne or should I say the Countess,
First of all your whole call me the Countess thing, shows how little class you have. I am sure Princess Diana the princess of the people did not act this pretentious. Which shows little in class. Correcting people and making them feel stupid is not classy. Second how are you going to write a book, your blogs aren't even interesting to read. Its one thing to think you are an expert in the field, its another to actually be a good writer. I hope you had some help, you need it (remind you a little of a comment you made to Bethanny about retouching). Finally, you speak with your mouth open, you make rude comments, and you speak while other are speaking at various events. You are rude, so how can you possibly write a book about class and etiquette.

We don't have countesses or counti or what ever they're called. Unless you include Mrs County Chocula. If you want to use the title, i suggest you move to Europe. Wait....regardless.....I suggest you move to Europe!!

hello, sorry but that comment about Bethany's touch up you said I HOPE SO, not nice or countess like. BUT the Alex moment of them writing a ridiculous worthless book that was class. You said it very gracefully, even though i would have laughed.

I know many people don't agree, but I love LuAnn. She is a strong woman and I respect how she says it like it is but stays classy and respectful at the same time. It was so wrong of Romona to judge, whether it be about her about her daughter going to boarding school, or her husband being slightly older than her. To each their own! Like LuAnn says, 'People make the world go 'round.' Of course not everyone has the same views or beliefs, what kind of snooze-fest would we live in if that were true?? I also think Bethanny was a bit too sensitive about LuAnn's comments about the airbrushing... just shows that she was insecure about her looks, which she has NOTHING to worry about. I think (most) the housewives are extremely attractive, with the exception of Romona... her personality makes her ugly. Love the Countess!!

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that you insist on flaunting your title of countess. Unless you were born into it, which obviously you were not, it is not impressive. You "married" into that title which does not entitle you to think you are better than anyone else. You are a complete hypocrite to say it was the worst thing for someone to act better than others because you sure exemplify that. Who makes you the expert on class? If you have to talk about it, then you do not have any. You are completely self-absorbed and I feel sorry for your children if you are their role model.

Quite entertaining defending your husband against Ramona...then in a snide remark..you say" Ramona theres a reason your eyes do this"...??? Real classy move COUNTESS!

I've allready written my comment but forgot to mention one thing; YOUR HUSBAND IS OLDER! THAT SHOULDN'T EMBARASS YOU TO THE POINT THAT YOU LOOSE TOUCH WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT THE CANCER SOCIETY! EMBRASE YOUR HUSBAND! NO MATTER WHAT HIS AGE! HE'S GIVEN YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN A GREAT LIFE! BE THANKFUL!
