Guess you need to watch the episode again!!! Sonja started the argument.

I don't believe that Alex went to Sonya's party with an agenda. Sonya approached Alex as soon as she arrived and started in about Simon's behavior at the march. Things quickly escalated from there, but again, it appears that this was Sonya's doing. I don't believe that Alex is prone to hysteria or high drama, unlike Sonya. She began to state her feelings in a clear and concise manner, but Sonya wouldn't allow her to finish a sentence. Sonya got in her digs about Simon and every time Alex attempted to speak, Sonya interrupted or started yelling. No, it isn't polite to argue with the hostess, but it's equally bad manners to pick a fight with your guest. It was not the time or place for this discussion, but Sonya chose the time and place, not Alex.

Louann, What Native American Indian Tribe do u claim u are part of ??? You have never elaborated on this before & we are all wondering about your roots.

LuAnn,love to watch the show... and I think you and everyone else is allowed an opinion. Good to take sides... good to draw lines in the sand and stick up for what you believe in. You are "real"... and that is why I enjoy watching you.

I think Alex did not start the conversation between her and Sonja and Alex had all rights to stick up for her and her husband

Did you not watch it back on tv?? Alex did not start nothing with Sonja at her art party. Sonja did. To be a countess you show no class at all. Fake fake fake!!! Thats why you and Jill get along so well. I feel sorry for women like you that dont have a clue about how self center they really are.

Listen my dear, you are an LPN from a small shop town in CT. who thinks because she married a man who claims to be a count is better than anyone else. You always seem to want to keep the trouble going. Most of the time you are not there nor involved in any way. Why not shut your mouth, learn some manners and take care of your children. Oh, and you are no one to be dissing ones clothing darling!!!!!!!!!!!!

He he he he!

Loved the comment about Alex's dominatrix outfit! Being shockingly dressed to attend events is not always a good thing.

As far as Luann's comment about Alex ambushing Sonja at the party. . . I'm assuming there was more to what happened than what we saw on air.

Maybe Sonja shouldn't have been so forceful with what she said at her house, however; Alex came in with an grudge and the outcome would have happened regardless. . . At least now, it's all out in the open.

Alex has behaved the same way everyone slammed Jill for last year. . .Alex is calling Jill out on anything, she's trying to create unless drama.

Luanne, I've just watched the clip of you and Kelly at the Farmer's market. I have been experiencing similar issues with a friend of mine and I've been searching for the words to have a conversation with her about her commitment to our relationship. I simply love the casual yet serious way in which you approached Kelly with this very thing. I plan to actually recycle the exact words you used to start the conversation and then see how things go from there. I just wanted to thank you for being so sincere in front of the camera as you ALWAYS are, but specifically in this situation. Thank you for being aware that you are a role model. xoxo

LuAnn:

I love how you are the most graceful housewives and really knows the best manner. I love how you do reflect that Sonja did make the entire event for her while Alex should have not continue the quarrel at times. You have your opinions and you know the perfect timing. However, please give Alex a chance and stop just randomly taking a side. People can be right and you can always refresh your old friendship with a person.

Seems like you've changed since last season. It's good to see you're not being petty and picking sides. Last season was definitely a step back into high school. Hopefully you keep it up!

LuAnn, You are great this season. LOVE JACQUES. CONGRATS TO YOU!! Will we see any scenes at your Hamptons House, assuming you still have it. Those were some of my favorite RHONY episodes.

Luann you actually have been coming off the most normal this season. Good for you!

You are such a pleasure to watch on the show. You have such a wonderful attitude and are so graceful.
You are so tactful even when speaking up about things that have gone wrong. All of the ladies should take pointers from you!

Luann, you are one of my favorites. you never come off as clawing for camera time, but your presence is strong. i LOVED your comment about the S&M attire. hilarious and right on the money. i think both you and Jill make the show to be honest. I know Sonja is your friend, but she is REALLY reaching and trying to make her presence known by getting into this fight w/ Alex. it's obvious she's dying for camera time and her own storyline. ugh

Luann, did you watch the episode? It doesn't sound like it.

You're so right - Alex was a guest in Sonja's home and came in with a good attitude. Sonja bringing up that subject was ambushing Alex. Then Sonja wouldn't even let Alex get a word in and instead, angrily and loudly orders her out. That's being a good hostess?

Luann, maybe it's best that you not comment on an episode until you've watched it. :-)

I really admire how you keep your composure and focus in these situations. You're not scratching and clawing for camera time which eventually becomes endearing to most viewers. Also, it looks like Kelly is following your lead this season, which is nice to see.

LuAnn,

you should really stay out of these situations. You only get the second, third party information. You were misinformed by Sonja as to how it all happened. You ladies really need to watch the episodes over!

If you'd see this in a rational light you'd understand that it was Sonja who brought up the march issue at the art party, at first seeming like she wanted to clear the air with Alex, and then condescending to her by pretending to forget Simon's name and calling him a fly. She wasn't clearing the air, or forgiving and forgetting, she just wanted to throw another jab at Alex. Of course Alex would have wanted to state her opinions and feelings.... and if Sonja wasn't willing to REALLY talk about it and listen to Alex, then she shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

Luann, it's actually interesting to watch you come down off of your "countess" perch and join the rest of us. Your comments this season fall well below your countess status. Have you given up the title?

Alex badgering Sonja?!?! You've got this one wrong Luann.

As your song says Luann, "money can't buy you class". You are so judgemental and rude. Watch the show again, and wake up. Sonja started the whole thing with Alex. And just because Alex decides to stand up for herself, she's a bad person? I think not! However you my dear are a stuck up snob!!

Love you and Jacques! You are a beautiful couple, and he seems SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!! Plus, this season you are actually funny...I love your interview comments. Can't wait to see more...hopefully in the Hamptons!

Once again, dear Luann, please listen to both sides BEFORE you start making comments....even in your blog. Did you watch the same episode I did? Because Sonja started it ....NOT Alex. You need and should apologize to Alex for making a wrong statement. Own it!!!

Doesn't look like you watched your own show LuAnn? You missed most of the events as they really happened.

A classy lady should realize that there are several sides to every situation and not rush to judgement.

LuAnn love let's be classy - I'm wondering if you watched last nights show. Clearly the minute Alex entered Sonja's home BAM Sonja attached and began insulting Alex. High kudos to Alex for standing her ground.

I agree with you Luann,
Alex should have LET IT GO already!!! Holy moly! Talk about a dog with a bone!! Alex used to be calm and dignified, what the heck has happened?? Even though Sonja brought it up in her Sonja way, this was her house and her event and Alex should have let it go. It was horrifying to watch. You are so right when you say Alex has found her voice but now she needs to zip it!!

Alex looked great in her dress and shoes!

Darling, why would you make such snide remarks about Alex's dress and social climbing? Thats not very countess like.
Alex is the only level headed person on the show and was very passionate about the march.

Your first paragraph in the blog was well said. Sonja was wrong for accosting Alex the minute she walked through the door and Alex was wrong for continuing. It was not just Alex's fault.

Hi Luann - it's great to see you so happy this year - your boyfriend seems like the perfect match for you --

I think one aspect of what happened at Sonja's art party was that she is the one who brought up the march first - not Alex - so to that end - as hostess - I think she was out of line. It's clear from the episode that Sonja is about Sonja -- Alexa and Simon have posted alot about marriage equality and are obviously very passionate about it. That being said - I'm glad you are able to keep your cool :)

You are looking so much happier this season and right on mark about Alex she seemd to have a major problem now a days keeping her mouth shut she should have keep it to herself about the simon speech incident but of course had to run and tell Ramona as soon as she got to the event. stay clasy countess.

I agree with you on all points except one. Alex didn't start the argument at Sonja's house. Sonja started the argument and was very rude to Alex. Alex was defending herself and Simon against Sonja's nasty remarks. Sorry, LuAnn, you missed the mark on that subject.

You were not there, so why so readily agree that Alex was at fault? A bit of fairness and integrity never hurt anyone, "Countess".

You've been hanging around Kelly too long!!!

Arguments aside, it's so great to see a fun-loving more relaxed side of you! Just like in real life, the women of RH have periods of ups and down, and clearly you are having a real Up Phase! Good for you. It's a testament to what happiness in a relationship (or getting out of an unhappy one) can do for a gal. By the way, in my opinion there's too much ridicule on having a glass of wine (or champagne) at lunch--especially if you walk or ride to and from said lunch. I own my own business and occasionally bring out a bottle of champagne on a random afternoon just to take a moment and remind myself and others that it's okay to enjoy life, even at work. Especially at work. Kudos to you for showing that there's nothing wrong with loosening up just a little.

Would love to know about the blue dress you wore on "The Talk"....you looked lovely. Please reply. Thanks.

Countess, you are absolutely a breath of fresh air on the show this season. Your humor and elegance and tasteful way of behaving....along with how much fun you have are great to see! How wonderful that you now have Jacques and some fun in your life! It was also refreshing to hear that you thought the outfit that Alex had on was S&M themed....I had just said to my daughter that the outfit was like something a hooker would wear.....but maybe Alex didnt know that. You are the best!

I think you should always listen both sides before you make a comment .
Sonja's was the rude to Alex. You don't welcome a guest the way.She need to learn better manners.

Countess, I am surprised that both you and Jill refered to Alex as a social climber. I thought you were better than that!

LuAnn, you walked in on the whole thing so how can you make judgement on alex when you werent there. watch the show again. Alex and Sonja both need to chill!

Hmmm...I am already figuring out who is "She's a thug in a cocktail dress". Being classy is to be diplomatic. I didn't see that in you when at Sonya's party.

You are right that Sonya should have let anyone who wanted to speak but when you said that Alex was "annoying" because she was too into the cause...... come on. This is people's LIVES we are talking about. This issue is VERY important to them and Alex seems like the only one that really cared. This is the part of Charity that makes me angry. They know you don't really care so the only way the can make people like you come is to make it FUN or give them a tiltle "grand marshal". You all need to quit pretending you are supporting all these charities. You don't - you clearly don't even care. The only thing I have ever understood out of Kelly's mouth is when she said in her first reunion that if you are going to be charitable just BE CHARITABLE. Give money, actually participate and don't make the charity pamper you or do it for your own publicity to get you there. As Kelly likes to say: "its GROSS" !!

Fashion is just as subjective as art.
