One of those things where alcohol isn't a mitigating factor technically, but for "famous" people and "white middle/upper class" people it is.  An African-American woman in this situation would be lucky to get bail.

An African-American woman would likely have been tased, if not worse, during this whole debacle.  As well as the stupid friend who refused to back off after being warned multiple times.

Possibly.  So the thing to remember is to repeat "I've done nothing wrong" countless times while in the car by yourself, then when being recuffed and placed back in the squad car, utter "I'll kill you" fortyleven times.  That is clearly the magic formula for probation.  

Though this 'video' is digitally narrated which is slightly annoying, it has some info towards the end - mostly the "source close to the couple" stuff, that was interesting.  I lol'd at Tom being "cuckolded".

Was that flowered top (above) part of her punishment or was that hers?

I also imagine a WOC would not be shushed with an, "ah, don't say that", when threatening to kill the arresting officer.  

The video is hilarious.  I would bet Luann is more offended by being labelled a "former" countess than the suggestion that she'd shit her dress.

[SunnyBeBe]

If, I had been more clever, I would asked if that flowered top was a fashion violation charge.......please forgive me....I'm hardly ever snarky, but, something got into me today.  

[FairyDusted]

Ok 2 things......1......Soiled dress? With what? I need to know. Annnnnd She was in court in 8 hours after her arrest. If she was that blind drunk that night she had to still be buzzed in court. 

All those accusations.....WOW

I don't actually disagree with either unnamed friend about motivations or actions, I mean that's exactly what I speculated. It is just speculation on my part though. And I'm thinking on theirs But there is no way the second "source" is a friend of both Tom and Lu. That was some cruel and catty commentary about Lu.

I realize that my lifestyle is far, far removed from that of these women, but I am continually amazed by their revolving door-style real estate transactions.  So, what do you want, if not this beautiful place Lu?  Five years in and listing for two and a half times your purchase price?  Will she get that?  Damn house porn!  I want that house!

Has her financial picture really changed that much in 5 years?  Does she need the money?  I would think she would be better off today than when she purchased this place.  The hell I know.

I think she will get that or very close to that amount. I'm wondering if Luann wants to be in the city more, less alone like out in the Hamptons and that's why she is selling or she wants a clean (no Tom connection) restart.

[SuprSuprElevated]

Welp, if she can make <$4mil, that probably answers the 'why' question.

Edited June 14, 2018 by SuprSuprElevated

[snarts]

She might be smart, taking advantage of the current market high. Many real estate investors are cashing out now, predicting that rising interest rates will impact housing prices. 

If Luann can clear a couple million, good on her.

[AnnA]

I love LuAnn's house and Sag Harbor.  If she sells it, that leaves Ramona and Bethenny as the only HWs with houses out east.    I wonder how that will change the annual Hamptons visit.

I think she added a new roof and a dormer window, not a whole upper floor -- well played, Countess:

I found this an interesting read about the decline and fall of the hotels/resorts in the Catskills (Borscht Belt) mentioned here -

Wouldn't it be interesting if Luann is going to be a player in bringing it back to what it once was?  Is she a forward thinker?

Hmm...

I can understand why Lu wants to get out of the Hamptons.  It's become soooo commercial, so difficult to get around because of the traffic and so touristy.  I think she is trying very hard to change her lifestyle.  I was talking to my son's girlfriend tonight about Long Island and the Hamptons and how much it has changed.  She's from out there.

BTW, I do love the Catskills.  Fresh air.  Nice cool nights.  The mountains.  Don't get me wrong.  I love the ocean and the salty breeze but I do get Lu wanting to make the change.

The heavy duty plastic "glass" cut Kristen's lip, the oar missed because Ramona was too weak/drunk to throw it far enough (Thank Heavens). That said, Yes, she should have been fired right there and then.

That was so crazy. Ramona would not admit she was wrong. I always liked Kristen because I thought inmany ways her constant “WTF” face at the behavior of her cast mates spoke to us all. I honestly think she was one of the closest examples of a pretty normal person getting cast.

But on to Lulu. I am curious as to how she’s going to be for the second half of the season. I’ve always had a soft spot for her in all of her ridiculousness (and there has been much ridiculousness) so I wish her well. Here’s hoping she at least learns how to call it an early night if nothing else.

LuAnn's house is in Sag Harbor which is not nearly as crowded or touristy as the Hamptons.   I think LuAnn selling her Sag Harbor house and buying one in the Catskills is more of a financial decision than anything else.  The Catskills is a LOT cheaper than the Hamptons or Sag Harbor.   There are still some big resorts in the Catskills where she can do her cabaret act and it isn't just a summer vacation spot.   These resorts are open in the winter for skiers too.

Hey Lu, Sing along with me!

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down

Lu's behavior in above -- so coy, so precious, so aren't-I-twee -- is why she is a source of amusement for so many.

She is wearing white. Let us all hope no soiling commenced.

Any of you NYC-ers: do you think the Catskills will replace the Hamptons as the hot spot for the (outwardly) rich and (based on taste) beautiful and Lu is getting in before prices skyrocket?

Luann looks amazing in that clip! And whatever tweeking (if any) she's having done to her face is on point! Other HW's take note!

She does look beautiful! 

I was just waiting for the squealing of brakes, loud crash, and non-stop horn. It seemed like it would  be a great PSA for keeping vigilant on the road.

Yes, I agree, all of this filming for IG and Snapchat is a bit disconcerting, especially when I see it on my morning and afternoon commute!

That video is priceless! The electronic narrator is hilarious. The mispronounced words, reading wrong when the punctuation was missing, great. The story also stated that Tom filed and later stated that Lu filed. Heavens!

Ok, true confession time! I went to see #countessandfriends this weekend. My friend and I had a great time. To be honest, I think Lu spent more time on costume changes than actually singing... but, she had some good comedy bits, handled herself well with the crowd, and overall was a good performer. And she really does look amazing in person.

The other singers were really, really, good. 

Going by the show’s vibe, it’s actually kind of fitting that she’s heading to the Catskills.

There was a guy from Sur working the merch table. He was super sweet, actually. Fun to meet him.

Ben Rimalower wrote, directed, and produced the show and Billy Stritch did the music so it's probably pretty good. That's not to say that I think someone couldn't screw it up if they wanted to. Heck, Sonja couldn't keep her clothes on during this same show. And Bethenny screwed up an Ellen Degeneres produced talk show and a Sirius radio show.

True but Luann seems to be in her grove doing that show, it is sold out most of the time!

I was surprised by how genuinely entertaining it was. Not even like, laugh because it’s so bad. But like, it was actually really good. And Lu was good. I can’t quite say yet that anyone unfamiliar with her would love it, but if you’re willing to pay for a ticket (and you like what you see on Insta, minus Sonja’s “accident”), you won’t leave feeling like it was a wasted night. Unless you’re Sonja or Slurinda. (Ba dum bum!)

Ben was there. (I assume it was the same Ben!) He fielded questions during her Q&A and also had to play Lu Guard when people kept trying to get up on stage at the end (kind of annoying).  

I confess I don’t know much about theatre but it definitely had that kind of vibe. Not surprised that the producer and writers have genuine bona fides. (Or “boba fires,” as my CA smartphone wants me to write...)
