I sense that LuAnne hasn't fully recovered from her divorce from the Count

I completely agree!

Me too.  We have a few attorneys here and I am patiently waiting for a link and recap.  I just hope she didn't spend a boat load of money on that asshole she married.

Maybe I am just getting too old for this nonsense. She loves Diana Ross and the party theme was famous celebrity. People are being too flippin' sensitive. Next the media will roast Sonya for appropriation of a ginger. Surely there are far bigger issues that could be focused on, like say... alcoholism...?

This was discussed a lot at the time of the airing, but LuAnn didn't need to put on any bronzer or tanning lotion or whatever the hell on her skin to dress as Diana Ross for Halloween. Like, not at all did it need to happen, and there's nothing sensitive about calling out LuAnn's ignorance there. 

I can't find my exact post from that discussion, but I do remember sharing this picture (below) of a white couple who dressed one year for Halloween as Beyonce and Jay...with nary a swatch of darker makeup on their faces to pull off the look. It can be done, and darker makeup need not be done--at all, ever.

This forever and always! I'm a big Drag Race fan and if your drag game is so bad and weak that you need to paint yourself brown, then you aren't a fan enough to pull off a faithful impersonation without a bigoted paint job. Luann's Diana was lazy and offensive; she didn't even have any of Diana's signature looks. I'm not going to ignore her Halloween costume because it's just another thing in a long line of instances when Luann has been offensive to minorities.

Well, I could be wrong but I missed in that lawsuit that the kids and the count were suing to block the sale of the Sag Harbor house.  From I could understand, they are suing Lu because she didn't set up the trust for the children after the sale of the marital home and broke the divorce agreement.  There wasn't any problem when Lu bought the Sag Harbor house in her name only.  It's about the trust that wasn't set up. 

Now here's my speculation.  Maybe Lu already bought a house in the Catskills and used or planned on using the Sag Harbor house as collateral for a mortgage until she sold that home.  Which is what she did with the original marital home to buy the SH house.

I think everything was cool Fourth of July when they were all together until....something came up about her new/potential purchase in the Catskills.  Maybe she announced that she bought a house.  But whatever it was, questions were raised and the count and kids found out that a trust wasn't set up and that Lu was further violating the divorce agreement by using more than 50 percent of the value of the SH home to purchase a new house.

As for the marital house, there's things we don't know.  We don't know if there was a mortgage so we don't know what the proceeds were on that house.  I checked the county records on line and they don't list mortgages.  They also didn't list the purchase price of the marital house when the count bought it in 2003.

I get why posters think that Lu is going to rehab because she doesn't want to deal with reunion but I also think (and I stated this in another post) that this lawsuit may have put her over the edge.  Her primary family unit cut off all ties with her.  Crap.  That's a big deal.  She's probably devastated and feels a whole lot of guilt even if it wasn't her intent to screw her kids.  And yes, she is guilty of not following the terms of the divorce but there's also the possibility she didn't screw her kids because we don't have all the information....starting with what kind of money are we talking about here.

It’s both. If she didn’t set up a trust and chose to buy a new home which she did and was the Sag Harbor house she was required to put the kids on the deed.

Re-reading the documents, it says that the Count handed over an unmortgaged deed to Luann at the signing of the divorce decree.  It further says that Luann was to create the trust when she got the title to the original house.  It then said she was to continue to "fund" the trust with any future homes until the end date of the trust.  She was allowed to use the proceeds of the first house to fund the second, but was required to keep the trust intact.  

Paragraph 69 mentions them wanting to block the sale.

I absolutely agree with you.

@smores - I am reading the document.  If you look at paragraph 15 it says that the trust will terminate in September 2016 when Noel turns thirty.  That can't be right.

Paragraph 27 is interesting too.  I think @breezy424 was discussing this.

Paragraph 29 begins with [July 11, 2018 defendant threatened plantiffs............] Not a good paragraph at all, hooboy.

Paragraphs 45 - 49 outline the agreement and the problem and says Luann being the Trustee was derelict in her duties - Hooboy, judges DO NOT like trustees who do not follow the rules.  My brother was the trustee for our mother's estate and the attorneys made a small error and he was called on the carpet by the judge.  It was up to him to point out any errors on the attorney's part.

Paragraph 53 defendant enriched herself - Yikes.

This is a great read.

To me it looks like Luann got her rich husband and then got screwed but still was paid out nicely at the divorce.  She was entrusted to retain assets for her minor children and then converted them for herself and probably thought her loving children would just stand by.  Good for the ex for stepping up and going after her.  It looks like this has been going on for quite some time and it came to a head when she threatened the kids in July of this year.  They are rich by blood she was only by marriage.  You just know the ex paid every cent of their expenses, no questions asked.

When I was a kid we lived in a war zone.  My mom left my dad and he paid any amount of money to not have to deal with us kids.  He didn't even get his own attorney.  He agreed to everything and even paid my mom child support and our expenses directly each Friday (if you are on support through the courts you can get weeks behind) He even paid 100% of our expenses and gave her grocery money too.  It seems he did not like us running down the 7 houses to his house to raid his steaks and such.  Ha ha ha.

It very well might not be hers, if they all shifted around for the photo.  It's possible.  Doesn't change the fact that she has raced to rehab, and there are stories now emerging about inappropriate behavior, both alcohol fueled and greed based.

Allegedly.

I'd feel worse for Luann if her primary family unit had cut ties with her for no reason. But honestly, as much as I rarely feel sympathy for rich kids, I'm inclined to put my pity on Noel and Victoria and not Luann.  

Boo hoo, Luann. Your kids finally got the message what comes first to you, and it's money, not them. It's bad enough that the kids always appeared to be an after thought, worse that the public has the opinion that the house staff raised the kids, but honestly, I am just not buying that cutting and clever Luann was just so dazzled and bewildered by the legal talk, she just made a mistake and she had NO IDEA she was screwing over her kids. Sorry, I don't buy it.

And funny how we just don't have all the info but apparently we know for a fact that Noel and Victoria are doing this not because its a huge amount of money but you know, because they selfishly want a house on the beach and don't want their mom to sell because they want to continue to have the social standing of having a house in the Hamptons and not the lesser Catskills. Maybe, instead of being selfish shallow greedy monsters (which is possible) Noel and Victoria are genuinely pissed off and devastated that this is how little they matter to their mom.

Why would she call her own daughter a FUCKING BITCH?  She has done enough damage by being in this lawsuit.  One does not run to a rehab if one could sit down with the kids, the ex, and attorneys and say, "I screwed up, I am so sorry, let's fix this....................".

My opinion is this:  When you are a parent you are a parent forever.  It is up to you to set the example.

Absolutely!  I don't care if it was $5, their father made it clear his half of that house was to be put in trust for the kids.  She is lucky he thought enough to let her keep the house for the family use.  He could have forced a sale and took his half and then put it into a trust.  He trusted her and she blew it.  I don't get the whole threatening the kids/ex this summer.  She must be at rock bottom.

When this first surfaced, I thought Lu was just lazy and saw no need to address the trust in a timely manner. But it’s looking more and more like she’s been depleting their funds. 

How horrible for Victoria and Noel to realize just how selfish and greedy their mother is.

It looks like the 2016 is a typo.  Noel would be 30 in 2026, and in the doc it has (sic) after it, so I think someone just accidentally put the wrong year in there.

(Luann was revealed as the answer today.)

Can you post what this refers to? I can't find a blind item that relates to this. It is interesting though that someone obviously knew what was going on three months ago - I am just wondering who?
But in the end I don't have a lot of sympathy for Lu. Maybe because she reminds me of my husband's ex who has stolen from her kids, her parents, her ex, among others. She is a narcissist who doesn't have a maternal bone in her body, and she and Luann are very much alike. Charming, charismatic, and ultimately only in love with themselves.

Or her kids might have let it slip. She put the house on the market in June. It usually takes a little while to get a place ready for sale. She might have been talking to realtors as early as April. At which point, the kids might have started having discussions with her about the trust.
