Luann de Lesseps Ditches Probation For The Beach!

RHONY star Luann de Lesseps had one job.  Which was to complete her probation following her drunken altercation with multiple Florida police officers on December 23, 2017. Luann could have faced jail time and multiple felony charges, but fortunately, she pleaded guilty to her three misdemeanor accounts.  As part of the reasonable deal, she was given one year of probation with a lengthy yet simple list of requirements and restrictions. Ones that Luann seems to have completely ignored.  Here are most of the conditions on the list:  As reported by Starcasm.  1. Pay all applicable fines and court costs  2. Perform 50 hours of community service for any non-profit organization at a minimum of 10 hours per month  3. Attend 2 AA meetings per month  4. No possession/ no consumption of alcohol, or illegal drugs, with random testing at Defendant’s expense 5. A letter of apology to Deputy Steven O’Leary 6. Attend a victim impact class put on by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers Luann has paid all of the fines and court costs and she wrote her letter of apology to the officer before her sentencing.  It’s just the rest of the conditions she is having a hard time remembering. The Florida Department of Corrections filed a progress report last week with the update on Luanna’s rather lazy progress:  The subject was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service at a rate of 10 hours per month. Per the subject’s New York probation officer, she has only completed 25 hours.  The subject was to complete 2 AA meeting per week, per her New York probation officer she has failed to provide documentation that she is following the special condition.  Per New York, the subject is to use a soberlink device to determine the usage of alcohol and the subject has been noncompliant with the condition.  The subject has failed to complete a victim impact panel class as well.  The subject has been allowed unlimited travel and has used that as a reason to be noncompliant with her conditions of supervision.  The subject has been under supervision for a period of six months and has failed to complete or comply with any special condition that has been ordered. Despite all of Luann’s issues of noncompliance , the Florida Department of Corrections ruled that there would be “no further action required.”  Luann is allowed to continue her probation in New York, with just a smack on the wrist.  Meanwhile, the reality star shared a picture of her enjoying the beach in Miami on Tuesday.  The 53-year-old does look amazing, but does she really think strolling through the sun will fix all of her problems?  They do say salt water heals everything. As does a Mai Tai.  View Slideshow: 16 Real Housewives Stars Who Have Been Arrested

Luann de Lesseps FUMES at Ramona Singer: You Betrayed Me, She-Devil!!

Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill aren’t the only The Real Housewives of New York City stars to have a frittered friendship . Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer weren’t exactly joined at the hip before, but now Luann is taking her to task. Why? Because Ramona betrayed her trust when she was at her most vulnerable — right after she got out of rehab. If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you already know what went down on the episode titled: ” Arrest and Relaxation. ” But one explosive conflict from the episode really merits a closer look. On Wednesday night’s episode of RHONY , Luann did not mince words when she referred to a group photo that Ramona shared with the world. “The she-devil strikes again,” Luann announced. She-devil can either be very confrontational (because yikes!) or very complimentary (it’s what Red Sonja is called, after all), but Luann meant it in the worst sense. Luann explains: “I really feel like Ramona invaded my privacy by putting a picture out of me when nobody knew where I was.” The Countess was in a very vulnerable place in her life and did not feel encouraged by the entire world knowing what she was up to just yet. “And now,” Luann says. “The whole world knows I’m out of rehab.” She wanted to let the world know on her terms, when the time was right. She feels that Ramona robbed her of that opportunity. What’s more is that Luann fears that Ramona’s thoughtless photo — which, in fairness, Ramona did later delete — could impact her appearance in court. “I have a court case coming up,” Luann laments.”I don’t need more press!” Being a reality star has its pitfalls. Luann explains why publicity is a problem, saying: “I don’t need pictures of me and the press making guesses at what I’m up to.” The rest of us might look at a headline that says Luann de Lesseps: Out of Rehab and Drinking Already? and question its veracity. But if a judge sees that kind of speculation, it might change Luann’s life forever. Since the news was out in the open anyway, Luann did make it official with a post of her own. “It’s good to be home,” Luann wrote to her fans and followers. “I’m doing great. Spending time with friends and family. Thanking everyone for your continued good wishes and support.” “My return to New York is supposed to be on my terms,” Luann tells the camera.. “I just feel like I got the rug pulled out of me.” She felt shocked that others knew before she was ready to tell the world. On RHONY , she’s seen giving Ramona a piece of her mind. “You put a picture up and now Luann is the talk of the town again,” Luann laments. She does acknowledge that she knew that it would happen sooner or later — but that she feels betrayed that it was by Ramona’s hand. “It’s inevitable that I will be in the press again, I just don’t want my friends to drive it,” Luann says. “You opened up a can of worms for me.” “These are hurtful things. You’re hurting me,” Luann explained. “You have to be more respectful and thoughtful about your friends.” Ramona was shocked, having not realized that she was doing anything wrong. “We also post group shots! It’s a beautiful picture,” Ramona said, at first being defensive. Ramona did realize that she was in the wrong and apologized, saying: “You didn’t tell me not to post. … I’m sorry.” Ramona, to her credit, became very apologetic and worked to make things right. “I’m disappointed in myself,” Ramona admitted. “I wasn’t thinking. Now I understand. … I made a huge mistake. This was bad. What I did was bad.” Luann also had another bone to pick with Ramona. See, Ramona had been hanging out with Luann’s recent ex, Tom D’Agustino. “There are so many guys on the Upper East Side. Really?” Luann tells the camera. She continues to complain to the camera about Ramona, saying: “You have to go and have drinks with Tom? I knew Ramona wasn’t the brightest tool in the shed, but what an idiot.” To be honest, that seems a little harsh.  “It’s not cool,” Luann said, yelling at Ramona. “If you’re my friend, it’s not cool. What you did, most people would never talk to you again.” Whoa, there. She spoke with him socially. She didn’t bang him. “That is the lowest of the low,” Luann insists, feeling betrayed. “Do you realize that? What you did is the lowest of the low.” Ramona explained that she hadn’t been there to meet with Tom, that they had just happened into each other. “Just because Luann divorced Tom doesn’t mean he’s going to disappear,” Ramona says. “He travels with the same circle as I do,” Ramona continues. “He has the same friends as I do.” That’s one of the big pitfalls of a breakup — everybody knows each other. Ramona then throws some shade, saying: “Listen, if I couldn’t talk with every man Luann ended up being with, I wouldn’t be talking to any men in New York City!” Luann is not amused, however. “You make it worse,” Luann accuses. “You don’t have my best interest at heart and I can’t be around that.” Wow.

Luann de Lesseps: I Can’t WAIT For You All to See Me Get Arrested!

You don't normally see people this excited about having been arrested . But most people aren't Countess Luann. The Real Housewves of New York City star is teasing what viewers can expect to see of her arrest, and more. In the video that we have included, Luann de Lesseps teases to Entertainment Tonight about everything that fans can look forward to seeing. “Wait 'til you see the trip in the 'Bezerkshires.'” The Berkshires estates are located in Massachussetts and Connecticut.  She even gets specific. “I mean, the end of the trip.” She expects that the drama will be very entertaining. And then, of course, Luann teases something a little more significant. “And then it's the holidays, so we all kinda know what happens during the holidays.” In case someone somehow missed her meaning, she adds: “To me.” On December 24 of 2017, Luann was arrested for allegedly trying to trespass into the wrong hotel room while being drunk and disorderly. Oh, and she may have, uh, kicked a police officer. And then, while in the car, slipped her cuffs. Like an action hero. Or an assassin. While Luann's insane arrest video is already available for public consumption, we are very interested to see how it will be covered on RHONY . Of course, Luann's brief foray into a life of crime is not the only story that she's teasing. “There's always drama.” If there weren't, the Real Housewives franchise would not be such an amazing success. She speaks of her costars and how supportive they have been in the wake of her arrest. “They've been great, but there's definitely shifts.” As we've noted for a while, friendships and factions are not a constant. “You're gonna see Bethenny and I get closer, and some of us get … not as close.” For example, Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel are no longer friends. In fact, they seem to be enemies. Entertainment Tonight  mentions that, about a month ago, Luann opened up about how she is recovering following the huge wakeup call that was her arrest. “I think that people are looking at me now and going, ‘Wow. She just, like, fell down the staircase and she got back out and she's climbing again.’” She's making great strides to turn her life around. “And that's how I feel about my life.” Within days of her arrest, Luann checked into rehab . “I feel like I'm taking control of my life again, and unfortunately I had to go to that extent to turn my life around.” Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom before you realize that you're out of control. “But it's OK and I'm OK with that.” By the way, Luann stepped out with a dapper man on her arm. The guy looks like some sort of fusion of Liam Neeson and Jonathan Cheban (no shade!), and they seemed to be getting along well. That said, Luann says that the two of them are “just friends.” Though she did follow up by saying: “Just friend … for now.” Good for you, Luann.

Luann de Lesseps Defends Herself Against Blackface Backlash

Luann de Lesseps has walked smack dab into yet another scandal. But we guess the reality star should be grateful that she didn’t stumble into it drunkenly. About three months after  de Lesseps got arrested in Florida for some very wasted behavior, the veteran Bravo personality has once again found herself the subject of backlash. On Wednesday night’s Real Housewives of New York City premiere, Luann attended a Halloween party dressed like legendary singer Diana Ross. (Yes, the episode was filmed way back in October.) It was a unique costume, that’s for sure, but it didn’t take long for folks on the Internet to find a pretty big problem with it: de Lesseps is white. Ross is black. The former rocked a revealing dress and a giant afro wig for the occasion, and also clearly darkened her skin in some way. And it was this latter move that has sparked an outcry of “BLACKFACE!” from many viewers and social media users. (Blackface was a popular form of theatrical make-up used predominantly by non -black performers in the 19th century and early 20th century; it contributed, both then and now, to the spread of various racial stereotypes.) Aware of the chatter surrounding her ensemble,  Luann explained to Entertainment Tonight that she didn’t actually paint her face black. “I had makeup on, but not anything that would make me look — I had like, tanning cream on,” she told Nischelle Turner, adding that she doesn’t agree with the criticism that has come her way as a result of the costume. However, “I get it,” she notes. de Lesseps first heard from critics of this look back in November when she shared the above photo on Instagram. But the issue has now come back up due to the aforementioned Season 10 premiere. Appearing after the episode aired on Watch What Happens Live, Luann said she “horrified,” by the negative reaction, adding: “I never meant to hurt anybody’s feelings. I love Diana Ross and I totally respect Diana Ross. It was really kind of a tribute to her, and it was Halloween.” At some point, perhaps, celebrity will realize that dressing up as other celebrities isn’t really a tribute of any kind. Kourtney Kardashian learned this lesson the hard way back when she dressed up like Michael Jackson for Halloween . “I had bronzer on that I wear normally like the rest of my skin. I’m tan, like right now,” de Lesseps also told Andy Cohen on air, prior to apologizing for real: “I didn’t add anything to or would ever, ever, ever dream of doing a blackface, ever. I’m very sorry to everyone out there if I offended anyone.” And just to drive her point home, Luanna added the following on Twitter: “I would like to clear the air, I love and respect Diana Ross, this was my tribute to her I was showing my sincere admiration. “I in no way altered my skin color and I did not mean to offend anyone.” We believe her. We aren’t all that mad anymore. But it’s a pretty simple lesson for all to heed in the end: If you are white, do not dress up for Halloween like a black person. Case closed. It isn’t that complicated. View Slideshow: 17 Stars Who Really Love the Real Housewives

Luann de Lesseps Arrested … for Kicking a Cop!

Ho, Ho, Ho? For Luann de Lesseps this holiday season, it’s more like the following: No, No, No. The long-time Real Housewives of New York City cast member was arrested early Sunday morning in Palm Beach, Florida and charged with a number of crimes. According to TMZ, E! News and other reliable sources, de Lesseps was taken into custody for being drunk and disorderly… … and also for allegedly assaulting an officer of the law! YIKES! Insiders tell TMZ that Luann has been charged with five crimes, four of which are FELONIES: – Battery on a law enforcement officer. – Resisting arrest with violence. – Two counts of corruption by threat. The incident between the reality star and the police took place around 1:25 a.m. local time. An assistant state’s attorney tells The Palm Beach Post that de Lesseps reportedly slammed a door and kicked at least one police officer, telling people around her: “I’m going to kill you all.” She was then placed under arrest. After being taken to Palm Beach County Jail, the Bravo personality was released without bond. It remains unclear what prompted the altercation; aside from an abundance of alcohol, that is. The aforementioned publication also writes that during her court appearance today, Judge Ted Booras suggested she hire a defense attorney due to the serious nature of these charges. “Don’t say anything,” he told the former countess, according to the newspaper. The arrest took place nearly a year after the Bravo star married Tom D’Agostino Jr. in Palm Beach on New Year’s Eve. They announced their divorce a mere seven months later amid rumors of D’Agostino’s infidelity. For those unaware, Luann has a “Countess” title because she was married to Count Alexandre de Lesseps until their divorce in 2009. She is due back in court on January 25. Known as a singer, actress, model and author, Luann de Lesseps debuted on The Real Housewives of New York City in 2008. She has been a regular ever since. No word from anyone in her camp or anyone else associated with the series in the wake of this arrest. Not yet anyway. We’ll update this story with more details as news breaks.

LuAnn de Lesseps Confronts Fiancè for Cheating!

LuAnn de Lesseps is finally about to confront her cheating fiancè on The Real Housewives of New York City.  It's going to be one of the biggest showdowns in the history of The Real Housewives franchise and we couldn't be more excited for it.  Sure, it sucks for LuAnn to be cheated on, but it's best she knows exactly what Tom D'Agostino Jr. is up to behind her back.  In the video from the season finale of the Bravo hit, LuAnn calls Tom, with Bethenny in her presence.  She confronts him over the phone and it sure seems like he tries to wriggle his way out of it.  What was his excuse? He didn't remember. What a horrible way to admit to cheating. Right?! It's bad enough he cheated with a woman in a New York City hotel, but why did he not just admit to it? He knew the net was closing in, so he should have expected nothing less than the cheating being revealed in front of the cameras. LuAnn is understandably not impressed with Tom, but we already know he manages to sweet talk her.  The wedding is very much still on, but don't expect Bethenny to be in attendance.  Fans of the reality show were quick to point out that Bethenny shouldn't have revealed Tom's deceit to LuAnn while the cameras were rolling.  The thing fans seem to forget is that most of what happens on reality TV is manipulated in some way.  For all we know, the scene with LuAnn going at it with Tom on the phone could have been filmed after the real argument took place.  If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you'll know Bethenny seemed to be using the evidence as a bargaining chip.  She tried to keep it from LuAnn for as long as possible and gave out very vague hints.  If you recall, she asked LuAnn if she was in an open relationship with Tom just a few weeks ago.  LuAnn was furious and noted that she knew Bethenny was up to something.  What do you think of the video? Was Bethenny right to reveal it all on camera? Hit the comments below!

Chris Brown and Tyga Have Play Date With King, Royalty!

Chris Brown and Tyga, music industry stars and bros forever, recently collaborated … on a play date with his daughter Royalty and his son King. Now that sounds like a regal day of fun if ever there were one! In March, news broke that Chris Brown is a father to a nearly one-year-old girl named Royalty, whose mom is former model Nia Guzman-Amey. While Nia’s pregnancy and birth were secret – Chris’ (now ex-) girlfriend Karrueche Tran found out after we did – he’s been gushing ever since. Royalty has been a visible part of Brown’s life, as fans know, and he even wants Guzman to move out to L.A. from Houston to keep it that way. He sure seems like he’s taking to fatherhood so far. Brown has posted Royalty pics left and right, and Friday, the R&B star had his first celebrity play date with rapper Tyga and his son King Cairo! While the latter is involved in a custody dispute with his baby mama, Tyga says Blac Chyna is just jealous of his underage girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Tyga claims he’s a great father, and while one play date with Royalty and some Instagram pics don’t prove that case, they certainly don’t hurt it. His photo also shows what looks to be a large Charlie Brown character in the background, a nod to Chris’ nickname and love of the cartoon. In a brief video clip he posted, Tyga can also be heard telling King to “be nice” and “you gotta share” when things got a little heated. When you’re two years old, these things are tough. Breezy, meanwhile, also posted a snap of his baby girl cuddling with his mom, Joyce Hawkins, writing, “Grandma has taken over the house!” Say what you will about Chris and Tyga and their personal lives, but by all accounts they are treating their kids like … well, a King and Royalty.
