Luann de Lesseps has revealed the Real Housewives Of New York City co-star she would prefer not to film with again.
‘I don’t think she’d come to the table in any case,’ noted the 59-year-old reality star, suggesting that the feeling might be mutual.
The target of Luann’s jibe is a woman who was involved with the show since its debut in 2008 as the second franchise in the Real Housewives sphere.
She and Luann repeatedly locked horns during and after their time on the series – most recently feuding just a few months ago.
Now Luann has spilled the name of the former castmate that she intends to steer clear of in future, while speaking with Us Weekly.
‘Probably Bethenny, to be perfectly honest,’ said Luann – referring to Skinnygirl founder and ex-reality star Bethenny Frankel.
‘I’m not a person that lives in regrets,’ Luann reflected, adding that she ‘loved all of our fights’ from their time on the show. ‘It was so good.’
She also played a game of F***, Marry, Kill involving her former co-stars – and the person she decided to kill was Bethenny.
Both women were on the very first season of The Real Housewives Of New York City and spent years afterwards swinging from friendship to fallings-out.
In one especially nasty fight, Bethenny denounced Luann as ‘a slut and a liar and a hypocrite and a snake,’ prompting Luann to call her a ‘piece of s***’ and storm off.
Bethenny parted ways with the show for the final time in 2019, whereas Luann was jettisoned in 2022 as part of a full cast reboot undertaken amid flagging ratings.
However Luann has remained in the Bravo fold, featuring on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip as well as a spin-off with her old co-star Sonja Morgan.
Meanwhile Bethenny veered off in the opposite direction, waging a public war on Bravo impresario Andy Cohen last year while trying to launch a ‘reality reckoning.’
In the wake of the Hollywood strikes, Bethenny also insisted that reality stars ought to unionize in order to protect their rights.
Luann was scathing about Bethenny’s efforts in December while performing a cabaret show at the Manhattan supper club 54 Below.
‘Now back to Bethenny. You know, listen, why bite the hand that feeds you?’ she said to cheers from the crowd, according to Page Six. ‘Why bite Andy? Why bite NBC?’
Luann urged Bethenny to ‘just go off into the sunset,’ arguing: ‘You make millions and gazillions of dollars. If you claim you do, then why are you still harping on us? Why are you talking about us?’
