S09.E00: One-on-One With Luann de Lesseps

I'm sure it was difficult for LuAnn to have to admit publicly that her marriage failed, so kadooz to her for chatting about it with Andy.   Side note: I love her house!  Anyway, as I said before they were married, I surely hoped that they could make it, but the signs for a happily ever after were bleak.  I'm sure there are times in all of our lives when someone tried to warn or advise us on what we should do, but we did the opposite.  Sometimes it takes a person figuring it out themselves for the lesson to be learned, even when the red flags were so obvious.  Sigh.  It's the proverbial "don't touch the red burner on the stove" lesson.  Sometimes a person goes against all common sense before they figure out what they should or shouldn't have done.

C'mon....LuAnn is a middle-aged woman, a divorcee, with a myriad of relationships under her belt. If she's still starry-eyed and that much in denial after all the wisdom she should have gained after all these years/experiences - then yeesh.  She's lived but hasn't learned shit. I think she looks like a fool.  

IF this is the story we're going with...

And let's face it she said she kept missing the red flags but really weren't all the warnings more a slap in the face?

A red flag would be something like working late every night when it's never happened before.

A picture of your man kissing some woman in a bar is a definite slap.

She called Carole a pedophile. I wouldn't be calling her either.

The others who contacted her were being kind, because Luann definitely was an asshole to all of them when they were trying to warn her.

She was an asshole about the whole thing from beginning to end.

Totally agree with you. However, Carole took the high road eventually. Didn't she give Lu a lovely engagement gift? A small crystal heart or something? And Lu even admitted that it surprised her that, of all the women, Carole was being the most gracious about her relationship with Tom.

 I am guessing Carole just didn't get around to it, and probably didn't think it would disappoint Lu too much.

As to the widows, yes they both count those relationships as successes.  But they were not in those relationships for the show.  The relationships albeit tragic have ended.

Yes, but you didn't say anything about relationships for the show.  You said that these women can't comment on marriages since none of them have had a successful one and contrasted that with RHOBH where you have Kyle and Lisa's marriages.  That's why I brought up the two widows.  

Quote

I think it is fairly obvious when you file for a divorce from someone that they aren't the right person for you.  I don't think you need to go overboard extolling their virtues.  In this case especially.  I just hope the next ten women Tom dates between now and Thanksgiving realize he is insincere.  

 

I don't think she needs to extoll his virtues.  There is a middle ground where she can say that he wasn't the right person and the marriage didn't work but not bash him.  She doesn't need to bash him but she also doesn't need to extoll his virtues. What she needs to do is just be honest about it. I'm just pointing out that there is a way to be honest about it without bashing him since some posters seem incensed with the idea that some of us want her to be honest and are making a false assumption that it means we want her to bash him.  Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Honest about what though? Do we really need the little details about what went wrong in their marriage? I felt she was rather clear without making excuses, they fought a lot and couldn't get past it.

Well since the demise of their husbands they have been in relationships and Carole doesn't seem to be the go to person for relationship advice as she doesn't want to commit.  Carole's comments about Dorinda and John relationship weren't flattering.   There is such a thing as over eulogizing and I don't think widows, although tragic for the circumstances are really comparative-especially ones who have been in multiple relationship since their husbands have died.   As to RHOBH Lisa Rinna has a 20 plus year marriage and I believe Erika  Jayne is creeping up on 20 years. So it isn't just Kyle and LVP.  I believe the only full time cast member with less than 10 years was Dorit.   If I had to pick a good marriage from RHONYC it would be Jill Zarin and even she has said the show stressed their marriage.

Luann gave us the reasons why the marriage didn't work.  So I just don't see why her statements need to be expanded on.  There is enough BS without these women saying stuff like he wasn't the right guy.  Take a look at Bethenny-never once has she taken any responsibility for her failed marriages.  Luann was honest she had a deal breaker in the relationship.  I think this idea that someone needs to  open the vault is over rated.  I think it is about as honest as you can get when you  reveal the breaking point.  This is an unusual venue as Andy is asking questions as it relates to Luann's cast mates.  Most marriages aren't a jury verdict.

Never mind that BH has it's share of women unlucky in marriages (Camille, Brandi, Yolanda, Kim) withsome NYC HWs still married (Jill, Alex, Heather, Kristen). Or that many of the BH still married are on their second marriages or their husbands are.

Quote

Take a look at Bethenny-never once has she taken any responsibility for her failed marriages

She's also didn't hold up her marriages as some pinnacle for all women to achieve, flaunted the material aspects of the relationships (I got the yacht!), or accused the other women of being jealous, bitter shrews.

Quote

Luann gave us the reasons why the marriage didn't work

Mostly bullshit, but hey, it's the Countess way...

Quote

Part of being a messenger is in the delivery.  Bethenny makes it all about how her and she is vitriolic at best so her motives and timing are always questionable.  Both in Miami and in The Berkshires she starts bawling about how difficult it is for her.  

Yeah, that seems a convenient way to avoid blaming Luann for ignoring the message. "It wasn't because Tom was sticking his dick in other women's you-know-what, it was because Bethenny was being a bitch when she told me Tom was sticking his dick in other women's you-know-what!"

Quote

I don't think Luann and Tom's relationship is any more or less ridiculous than Adam and Carole or Bethenny and Dennis

Oh, it was far, far more ridiculous due to her bragging about and being the only thing she seemed to discuss non-stop.

Quote

Never  once did Luann call anyone a bitter shrew

Actually, she did. More than once.

Quote

I think the only jealousy was Luann was getting a lot of press over the engagement and wedding.   These women are like dogs fighting over bones when it comes to press.

No, they weren't jealous, they just saw a co-worker making a very, very, stupid decision.

Quote

I am sure there is probably some displeasure that Luann got a one on one with Andy over the break up.

I doubt any of them are jealous over this particular one on one...

Quote

My comment about Luann being damaged is that never a season goes by that someone, including Andy brings up her past indiscretions

That happens to just Luann...

Quote

Having someone scream you are a whore and slut in your face does take a toll on one's self esteem

Yeah but Luann is a strong woman who rebounds quickly from anything, so I doubt one bitch-session from Bethenny is the Berskshires would have destroyed her self-confidence that badly to cause her to marry Tom.

Quote

I believe Luann said she found out about it in the press-so there is the concealing component

She knew he was a dog before they got married.

Quote

Again when you constantly attack someone and their betrothed and have not a single good word to say about them, the relationship it is a huge stretch

Again I'm still not sure what Bethenny and the other women have to do with the demise of Luann and Tom's marriage, Luann's ignoring the evidence regarding Tom before the marriage, Tom's cheating, etc.

Quote

Although Carole and Bethenny tend to thrive on it

I disagree that they do.

Quote

Bottom line, Tom is a cheat, Luann is a cheat.  Two cheaters together?  Zilch chance of anything working out.

Ha!

Quote

I doubt anyone is jealous or upset. Who would want a one on one about a really stupid series of decisions and a marriage that lasted a few months?

Hey, who wants to be on WWHL to talk about how foolish and dumb they have been ?

Agreed.

Quote

On a side note... I do think Lu wanted it to work for multiple reasons. I think she was more in love with the idea of the relationship rather than Tom. Think about when she was listing all the great things about their relationship. It was activities like skiing. It wasn't actually anything about Tom (he's smart, he's funny, he's kind, etc). I think the divorce is hard on her because she is so concerned with her public image (even Andy said that she is very concerned about appearances and she agreed) and she's trying to spin it to where it makes her look good and also she just wanted the relationship (not necessarily the man in the relationship).  Unfortunately, IMO, the spinning of it is what backfires. If she doesn't want to bash him, she doesn't have to. She could easily come out and say that she was in love with the idea of the relationship but if the relationship isn't with the right man then it doesn't work.  Tom is a great guy but not the right guy. There are ways phrase things where it would come off better but still leave Tom's reputation intact (if that is what she is concerned about). 

Yeah, that makes sense as well.

Quote

But do you have to commit to marriage or living together to have a successful relationship? I think many people would say "no".

Or, like most people, she thought when he chose to make a commitment to her, he would keep his word as most grown ass men do when they get married. Most people realize that when you get married, that you give up catting around, seems that Tom doesn't understand this basic concept which is on him, not Luann.

Naaah. I have a feeling much like with the Count, she was ok with his catting around, as long as he would be discreet about it.

I don't think she was "Ok" with the count/open marriage, I think she put up with it because of their kids (stupid idea/notion IMO though) and I think she hoped that he would come back to her/them after seeing what he was losing. Sadly, many women put up with cheating hoping their spouse sees the error of their ways and comes back to the family, it rarely turns out that way though.

MANY people don't think that marriage means you have to give up catting around. The world is full of men (and women) who think they can have their cake and eat it too. He couldn't even make it to the wedding without cheating on her, so I don't know why she'd think the marriage would be any different.

Well, he seemed to behave himself, after the Regency tonsil hockey match ended, for months.... so I suspect Luann thought that they had a monogamous relationship/marriage. I don't understand why anyone would marry someone if they never intend to give up sleeping with others, especially a 50 year old man, it's not like he married Luann because she was pregnant with their child!

Luann doesn't slam anyone, be it an ex or another HW, she always tries to be a bit diplomatic and I don't ever see that changing. I don't think she would ever go back to Tom, no matter what he told/promised her, she knows for a fact now that he will never change.

Go on over to the OC thread and read what people say about Briana's weight or even Shannon's/Vicki's weight, they are not kind at all. People slam these women over their weight, large or small, all the time. 

Also, maybe if Carole hadn't gone on/been nasty about Jules's weight, no one would be commenting on hers.

I don't care about what Carole said to anybody. I was nicely asking if people can find another way to bash or insult Carole that doesn't include "skin and bones" and "skeletal".  I'm not one to insult somebody and then say "she did it first" so I don't understand what you're trying to say. 

Some people are just naturally thin.  I'm not just thin I'm underweight and it gets to a person when they see other underweight people being bashed simply because they are too thin. Thank you.
