Luann de Lesseps went to a Halloween party during Wednesday’s episode, but she chose to pay homage to Diana Ross. Sadly, her outfit ended up causing quite the stir.

Luann de Lesseps wanted to honor Diana Ross with a Halloween costume last year, but she ended up in hot water when people saw her face. While Luann claimed she didn’t use makeup to darken her skin, Carole Radziwill had no problem sharing what people were thinking. She had used too much makeup to darken her face and she was clearly insulting and offending a whole group of people. At the time, de Lesseps didn’t see any issue with it, but after The Real Housewives of New York aired on Wednesday, she knew she may have crossed a line.

On Twitter, Luann de Lesseps decided to speak out about her costume, which was featured on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York. She didn’t mean to offend anyone, so she felt she needed to speak out about it. In a brief tweet, she revealed that she never meant to cause an issue and didn’t mean to offend anyone. The costume was done with love and respect for Diana Ross.

Viewers heard that she was struggling with her emotions during Wednesday’s episode, as she had been divorced from Thomas D’Agostino for about two months. She was still trying to make sense of the failed marriage. While she wanted it to work, Thomas couldn’t shed his bachelor lifestyle and he didn’t see the need to stay at home with his wife.
