Why Didn't Carole Radziwill Accept Luann de Lesseps' Apology?
According to Carole, the #RHONY countess basically broke the girl code.
We didn't know what was going to happen when Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps sat down to hash out their drama on-and-off The Real Housewives of New York City concerning Carole's beau Adam Kenworthy. But if you expected to hear an apology from Luann, you would have been sorely disappointed, according to Carole.
"She didn't apologize, and the birthday was eight months after she said lots of really nasty stuff," Carole told a caller, explaining why she didn't accept Luann's apology during Wednesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live (clip above).
During the RHONY spat, Luann wanted to move past her issues with Carole, but Carole said the countess had just been too mean toward her on social media for her to do so. Luann denied making many of the comments Carole said she did and said that they had both said hurtful things about one another.
However, Carole denied saying anything "nasty" about Luann on WWHL. "I didn't," she told Andy Cohen. "With some of these women, you need evidence. I wish I had brought all of her tweets and her interviews."
In fact, according to Carole, it sounds like Luann broke the girl code. "It's one thing if you say you don't like my boyfriend or something, but she was age-shaming, she was female-bashing. It's like that kind of misogynistic bullsh** we hear from men all the time," she explained. "You don't need to hear it from a woman, let alone someone you considered a friend."
But don't think that just because Carole hasn't rekindled her friendship with Luann means she's still dwelling on the drama. "She never apologized, which was the funny thing. And moving on, I had so moved on," she said. "I had told her, 'Luann I have so moved on. You're not in my life, and that's OK.'"
It looks like Luann has moved on too and will be directing her shade toward Bethenny Frankel during next week's episode of RHONY. Sneak a peek at the feud, below.
