It's tacky! I agree Countess.. I love you. You are by far my favorite and the sexist of the wives. I could be your friend we would have fun! you're so right... money cant buy you class.

Luann, I realllly hope you read the post by Wendyiswatching below.. I could not have said it better.. I am a plus size woman and have struggled with my weight on and off over the years and to think how you're comment would have made me feel at that child's age is..HORRIBLE!! I think you and you're manners need a review on an old saying.."If you can't say something nice.." There were many ways you could have handled that situation, I'm amazed you failed to see how insensitive that was.

I watched a rerun of your show. I love it. In this episode you were at a school talking to a bunch of kids. You later played basketball in your heels. I thought the whole thing was wonderful with the exception of the weight comment you made to the young girl who said she wanted to be a model. You told her she had lots of time to grow and lose weight. I was stunned and could not believe that your lack of tact carried over into a classroom. I have seen you behave without tact many times before as you seem rarely to think before you speak but this was something else. I can just imagine the hurt that girl was feeling especially since you felt the need to make the comment in front of her entire class. Have you never heard of plus models? Spew your comments with the women in your life and don't filter your mouth if you don't want to and no one who knows you is expecting an apology from the Countess but have some heart and find a filter when speaking to children who look up to you as a role model. So when does your book on manners come out?

LuAnn what can I say you rock! You are so sweet, and I love how you keep your cool! You would be a great aunt to have! Good luck with your future! Your so together! Its your x's lose and someone else's gain! You be a great catch for anyone! good luck to you and your family!

I hope you will continue with THW OF NYC. Your maturity and
grace is much needed. Believe in yourself (not the Countess)
and relize you are on a new journey that will bring you closer
to who the real LuAnn is.

You do need to read your book!!

I have never done this but I feel I must. I watche the show and frankly I can't believe the milage you get out of being the "countess" PLEASE!!!!! What about the other part of your heritage?? Other than putting on a native american costume at Hall'oween you should be refering to it more, or does that not get the reaction you want? You are a person and I'm feeling you are wanting to be thought of only by the title you like "countess". If you are not with you husband anymore (I'm sorry for that)how can you think that you have and power with that title????

I think that Luann is a very elegant woman who handled herself with dignity and grace the majority of the time. Obviously everyone has faults and we all make mistakes, but I do think that Luann showed herself to be a very genuine person who handled herself beautifully during a difficult time in her life. I do think that sometimes the discussion of being a Countess was a bit much-- it's fine to take pride in traditions, but sometimes it did come across as a bit tiresome. I am hoping that Luann will choose to return to the show for Season 3. I did not find Kelly as horrible as most people have said, although she does seem spacey and her anger toward Bethenny seemed rather odd. I hope that Ramona does not return to the show for Season 3- I find it very uncomfortable to watch her and I often choose not to watch segments in which she appears. I have begun to suspect that she may be mentally ill-- there is something about her behavior that suggests that all is not right mentally.

Luann, I am sorry to hear about you and your husband.But I do understand why people think your book is a joke. This season, your behavior and outbursts were something else. It kind of makes you look two faced. I don't think you are, but it sure looks that way. No one new what you were going threw. The stress you must of been under, i am sure is what cause the bad behavor this season.It was refreshing to see that you are human. Ramona and Kelly need real help. Just because Romonas back ground is not the best does not excuse her bad behavor. She has no class or manners at all. You can speak your mind, but there is right way and her way is off base. Kelly has to be A.D.D. or on drugs. She is turning the show into trash. I do not understand why they don not get her off the show. Best of luck to you and your kids.

The HW of NJ are nothing like NYC but I watch them for comic relief. A little rough around the edges but not a trashy as Orange County. Let's help Kelly move to one of those cities.

Wow,you are the defintion of what a woment should be. Very classy,sexy and beautiful.

I agree with the person who suggested that next season you focus more on LuAnn and your heritage and less on the "Countess". What your "Count" did to you and his family/kids is deplorable.. He seems more like a "Count-Ass". Focus on yourself and your wonderful kids.. He will regret, one day, what he gave up for some Bimbo girl in a foreign country.. He is no spring chicken.. Who knows what men think when they are that age.. I had the same thing happen to me and my sons.. My husband left us and went to Thailand to find his young Geisha.. and, we aren't wealthy. he left us with nothing but his debts and retired so that he could claim poor. But.. We are starting our lives over and my sons have learned so many life lessons and how to be responsible and work hard for us to all take care of each other. HE loses.. because HE loses his family..and, in the end, what else is there? Our children always get us through. If men do those things, they have nothing but regret when they get a little older and realize what they have missed and lost.. It happens a lot with men in their 50's and older and they lose..............

LuAnn - You are one of my fav housewives. I love your sense of style and that gorgeous ring you were wearing on the reunion was soooo striking. Share with us more about your heritage - I think the US viewers are really interested. Best of luck to you and your lovely children. Cherish each other and the rest will work itself out.
Style On!

LuAnn,

I used to like you until I was able to see more your real you.

I never thought you can hate, It was so ugly the way you went after Kelly.

Please watch the reunion one and two and she your behavior. In the other hand
you were so desperate to get the attention of Jill and Bethany, ironically they were
throwing you under the bus.

I wonder if you should be one of the woman's to leave the show. Uhmmmm.

Greetings Lu Ann,
I have always liked you so much. But I must say I am disappointed that you sided with those who threw Kelly under the bus last night. She is different. But hey, Viva La Difference! I would have loved to see you say, there is a place for everyone. Ramona tried incessantly to be Kelly's best friend until the moment you all turned against Kelly then she dropped her like a hot potato. Ramona should be the one you all find despicable, not Kelly. I wish you all the best as you transition into being a single woman, you are warm and generous, you will come out on the top...you are beautiful inside and out.

Hi, Luann, I think you are greeeeeeat!!!!! I agree with you and the Countess title. The housewives do enjoy the title and fun associated with it. I have a title frantastic associated with my name Fran so I do understand. It's fun. You have been invaded and disrespected , however, you handled it very, very well. Bravo!!!!!! What class. Best of luck and do keep youself above the Kelly and Ramona level as you always do. What class you have. Wishing you will be at the Hilton in A.c. in June. Fondly, Fran

Countess Luanne:
Dear Countess Luanne:
Your decorum on the show exemplified the actions of a mature mother and wife. Ramona was totally out of line to state such negative or mere gossip about your marriage, whatever the circumstances are they are between you and your husband and not anyone else, you are a mother and you protected your family in such a matter that anyone who had class or decency would act. Your advice to Bethany I love for my Mé re gave the same to my sisters and me when we were growing up and began dating by the way it was at 16yrs old and that was only with a group. At 46yrs old I passed the same advice to my daughter, nieces and anyone who may ask for advice. I purchased your book and actually when my daughter turned 14yrs old I gave her “Tiffany’s Table Manners for Teenagers and the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” The cattiness is so not you however, in light of it all you still remain the elegant lady Luanne, The Countess, Mom, Wife, Mentor, Philanthropist, and most of all spokeswoman for many women as myself that still believe in tradition, structure, and that there is a place and time for everything and a proper way to do it all. YOU ARE AWESOME. MERCI
Kind Regards,

Dear Luann,

You may be have class and sophication lady but you are a major idiot for being a patron of oral school. You are going to make many many deaf people include myself very angry. I have spend total of 14 years learning to speak oral but it did nothing to keep my relationship with my own family solid. Instead it frequently blow up when I and one of member of my family, none of them learn sign language, having this discussion due to major misunderstanding. But thank God I was blessing with the ability to speak using sign language which indicated that I am biligual person. The benefitof sign language outweight the benefit of oral. My mother often told me that she wish she had learn sign language instead of not learning it at all. If you have not learn any thing from Princess Diane, former Princess of Wales or any adult who is deaf and former oralist. Then you have learn nothing. By the way I was born deaf and using hearing aid since I was five years old and now I am 46 years old. Now do the math!

Now on the other subject, I understand that your soon to be ex-husband had partial hearing loss. I suggest you take him to cochlear implant specialist to see if he is qualify for it. My mother had her done two year ago and she is 70 year old. I choose not to accept it because there is risk of permant loss of the residue of hearing in case the implant does not function properly. And good luck with that. Remember thumb of rules is do your research before making any decision or be a patron of any program that is clearly controversy topics among disability people.

Sincerely,

W.Friendly

LuAnn.

I understand that your son will inherit his father's title one day and that you want both of your children to know and be proud of their lineage on their father's side. I also understand that they move in a completely different social circle from the rest of the kids in NYC because of their European heritage, so you want them to feel comfortable and confident in their surroundings when they are representing the DeLessops overseas. That being said, I real would love to see/hear more about your Indian background and your Indian Heritage. I would love to hear more about your upbringing and how your careers got started (nursing/modeling)and where you grow up and the traditions of your tribe. Please focus less on "the Count" and more on LuAnn.

I look forward to seeing you next season. You "Fab 5" are wonderful, Kelly.....Not At All!

Love you too... Wishing sweet life experiences in your new life and hoping the Universe will bring you another good husband. You are so pretty. Best

I am very sorry to hear of your divorce/break up. I know that must be very painful. I can't imagine how you must be devastated, and to have to experience it in public. I am very sorry for your sorrow. However, I think people would like you more without your constant reference to countess. I know you don't see it, but you need to try. But, you do seem to have tact and I like the way you react to things.

I think you are beautiful and know it is very hard to be a single mom, or like one. Mr. Right will come back around.

Luann, you handled yourself as a lady should with Ramona, not stooping to her level. As for her nasty digs about your marriage, that is your personal business,why should you have to explain your situation to the other housewives. You have grace, confidence, and style.You are a beautiful woman, loved your book.

Hi Luann, You looked absolutely beautiful on the reunion show. I hope you and your children are doing ok since the Noaccount dumped that E Mail on you.Believe me you will have the last laugh one day.You will still be a young and beautiful woman who can hold her head up and he'll be a doddering old man hanging his head in shame!!!!I wish you and your children all the best.

Regarding the poster who put you down because Rosie is raising your two children and not her own four.

Rosie's children are in the Phillipines waiting for their number to come up so they can emigrate to the United States. Rosie is working for Luann so that she can support them and herself while everyone is waiting. Rosie is a good mother to make this sacrifice (being away from her children) and Luann is a good person for employing her.

Use your ears people!

Dear LuAnn,

I think you are pretty wonderful. Your attitude on the face of Mount Meanness was amazing. Most of the girls (they were too immature to rate womanhood) were bloodthirsty when they hunted you down craving details of your marital woes. It was a strange spectacle to see.

I'm not sure why you would want to keep the title from you marriage to Count Cad. The callousness of his exit (via email) was truly cruel and cowardly.

Best of everything is wished for you and your beautiful children. You have done a fabulous job raising them.

You,Jill and Bethany are my favorites!

I think you are so sofisticated, intelligent and classy. Don't change. You are someone to aspire to.

Kelly is jeouleous of you. She finds you threatning. Kelly never got the memo that read "money nor good looks make you smart...education does. And education builds character and confidence." I think she cheated in school to get a passing grade LOL.

LuAnn don't change. Kelly's beneath you.

Luann--Love you on the show. I truly believe that you ( & Alex) were the only woman to really be authentic. So what about these ignorants that put down your being a countess!! They need to read your book ( b.t.w.--I did and it is fantastic!!!) so, (and I do not mean this rudely) if your marriage ends, can you continue to hold the countess title?? Best of luck to you darling!!

Dear Countess:

I am so sorry for the time you and your family are going through, best wishes to all. Regarding the reunion, (Loved your dress!!), I did not like it when you picked on Kelly and told her that she "turned her back on you" at several parties. So here are my etiquette questions. When someone close by at a party speaks directly to you, requesting your attention, is it your responsibility to look everywhere, see if anyone is there you might know, and do you keep the first person who is speaking to you, (male or female), waiting so you can make sure someone else is recognized. Or are you polite to the person standing closest it to you, give them your attention (especially if you are at the party as part of your job and income), and then mingle hoping to see friends. Are you suppose to interrupt friends just to make sure they know you see them from across the room? I AM NOT MAKING FUN OF YOU I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS RULE, IT SEEM'S YOUR DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T, PLEASE, HELP

Sincerely,
PattyU

Luann:

I think that you certainly do have class and handled yourself well at the reunion. However, when they reviewed the episodes when you are referring to your countess title you are being condescending and ethnocentric. Review the shows. The times you are with young people and you explain that you are a countess and how you are there to help them are insincere and self centered. I am ashamed that the young people have to witness your behavior. If you do not see this, you are as disoriented as Kelly is. Why do the two of you not see your behavior as it truly is. If you view your behavior as acceptable, then the fact is that you are the snob you say you are not. I really like you and wish you and your children the very best through this divorce. I hope for the sake of your children that your husband keeps them in his life. They are both very special children and I am certain that those attributes come for you.

LuAnn
May I first say that you were incredibly poised and graceful during the reunion series (the only one in the bunch). I was especially happy that you defended yourself (rightfully so) when attacked and called out some downright deplorable behavior. This is a side of you we haven't seen, but it was tastefully done.

I am so very sorry to hear of your marital woes - especially the manner in which the Count chose to end things. All I can say is that karma is a bitch and I'm sure he will live to regret his decisions. I don't believe people realize how hard it is to open yourself up to a reality show and have all your personal issues exposed the way they are. We all know that not all of the ladies have handled that pressure well given their horrific behavior (and that only excludes you). I can only hope those who have made classless comments about your impending divorce (in person and in their blogs) have the same thing happen to them and completely fall apart for all to see. You've handled yourself with grace and dignity and should be commended for that.
You are a very classy lady, a wonderful mother, and an excellent role model for all women.
I hope you have a nice summer and enjoy the time with your beautiful children.

I think you are fabulous first off but my only gripe is this. My family is also of 9pt crown Hungarian decent NONE of my family goes by the title of it. Being a Count/Countess in the United States means nothing. I am very proud that my family has royal blood and when we are in Hungary things are very different but here in the U.S. no one cares unless you tell them to. Other than that you are fabulous in every way and I hate what you are going through with your marriage. Best of luck to you. Take Care.

BEST WISHES TO YOU MY DARLING GIRL. I AM ALSO A NATIVE AMERICAN AND YOU HAVE HANDLED YOUR SELF LIKE A QUEEN. NO CHARGE FOR THE UPGRADE MY LOVE. YOUR SISTERS ARE WATCHING XXX

Countess LuAnn...I have to say that you looked GORGEOUS on the finale!! That dress looked amazing on you! I think you handled yourself with grace on the finale and were way more open this time around!! I appreciate your honesty! I hope all goes well with the divorce proceedings, that is never fun. Ramona was WAY out of line for even bringing that up and throwing it in your face. (And she does have crazy eyes!!! I'm so glad you finally mentioned that!!) Best of luck to you!!

LuAnn, It's time to drop the Countess stuff and act like a real person. You do try to sound like you are above the other girls, but you are not. I like you and think you'd be more liked if you just acted yourself. You are not Royalty, so have more fun on the show and forget the stuffiness. Look at the difference between how many comments you have compared to Betheny. Tell you anything? As for your husband, forget it. You are very naturally attractive and will meet a man who deserves you. It's his loss. I live in NJ right outside NYC so I know the NY manner and ways. Have fun!! Life is too short to be so uptight.

I think you kind of look like Mariska Hargitay- you are classy also- and I think you are awesome.

Luann

There is only one thing sadder to us Yankees than being born into "royalty" in the 21st century. And that is marrying it. Oh well, ancient history.

You are condescending and just odd.

I won't be buying your book and neither will anyone I know.

wish you the best-- hope everything keeps going well

Darling-I loved the "crazy eye" comment. Thank you for calling her out on it. She posted on her blog she wears contacts, as do half of America, and has a dry eye condition. That's well and fine; her eyes are still jacked. One of the episodes where she went to the dermatologist she said she'd never had surgery, she keeps her youthful look with creams and moisturizers, etc. I don't buy it.

You were absolutely correct when you said Kelly should have apologized for being late to her own party. It was tacky. She wasn't "fashionalby late" or cute in any way.

Thanks for what you added to the show!

Dear Countess:
You are the only woman on that show with any class and dignity. Do not give the criticism you received from the other women a moments thought. You are also the only sincere woman on the show. I love the show but hate the fighting. Take care!!

I must say I admired your grace and composure at the reunion. You speak beautifully and have a good heart. I can see how others could view you as condescending but I think there may be a touch of envy on their part.
You are going through difficult times and you are handling it as well as you can.
I look forward to seeing you next season!

Dear Countess,

I agree with other posters here that you handled yourself with much, much grace and dignity on the 1st reunion show. I think that you are an awesome, beautiful woman. I wish you much luck.

LuAnn, I think your the best!!! You bring alot to the show. There's nothing wrong with giving your opinion. Everyone else does. I loved how you went at it with Ramona. I think she said a few things that were below the belt. You should've zinged her right back. I believe that if she reacts to something you or anyone says about her and she gets on the defensive, she must have ALOT of skeletons in her closet. You should've opened it up to shut her big mouth up. But then again, you have much more class than her. I hope there's another season in the works. I would surely hate to think that there will be no more RHoNYC. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Take care of yourself & your family.

Dear LuAnn,
I know I am jumping the gun here but I really think you should date a politician! Get married and have him run for president! You would be the best First Lady ever!! You have such elegance and grace. I love it that you help out so many charities. You remind me of the late Princess Diana. You really set an example of how ladies should act.

Countess LuAnn,
What planet does Kelly live on, for real??? LOL Doesn't she remember, that you brought into the "Group" due to your past friendship with her!! She does not make since when speaking! I don't agree with Ramona normaly, but she was right on with lame "scare-crow", comparison!! Keep your chin-up!!
Best of luck to you & your family during this time of trial,
Tarea
Coconut Creek, FL.

LuAnn, you are one class act! I think out of all the ladies you truly are an elegant lady. Even they way you sit on the sofa at the reunion...so beautiful! Character is everything! I say kudos to your parents for raising such a lovely lady!

LuAnn,

I think you are a very classy lady with grace and all. You are my favorite housewife on the show! Best to you!

I'm A Taurus to, and watching you on the Reunion Show and this Season, I saw myself, and how I want to behave, when I have close to the leave of responsibilities that have to handle on daily basses. Your children are blessed to have such a strong woman to look up, and I know you will shine even brighter once the clouds clear. God bless and best wishes.

Luann, you always look fantastic and truly are elegant and classy. I'm sorry you had to go through all that on the reunion, but you recovered your poise quickly. Don't stoop to responding to Ramona; she's TPT. Someone seriously needs to put a gag over her mouth.

I shudder over the fact that you make Rosanna call you "Mrs. D" -- she IS helping raise your children, is she not?? And when you said that a "driver," "like kids," should do the same, I thought at best, that was snobbery, and at worst, racism.

You partially redeemed yourself this season, however, for standing up to Ramona and for weathering your personal storm with grace. And for what it's worth (and at the risk of sounding shallow), you looked like a total knockout at the reunion. You and your family (including Rosie!) are beautiful.

I couldn't even watch part II. You're a grown woman blessed with good health, money, etc., and you're sitting there tearing women down on TV? It was awful.
