If you’re a Real Housewives star, there’s a fine line between treating your fans to a clever joke on April Fool’s Day and making yourself foolish.

We think Luann de Lesseps succeeded in pulling off her prank in 2019 with a joke that she posted on Instagram that mocked both Real Housewives Of New York (RHONY) and Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (RHOBH).

Dressed in California casual style, Luann smirked in her Instagram pic as she shared what she called her “big announcement” in the caption.

Claiming she loves New York “but it’s time for a change,” de Lesseps wrote that she was moving to Los Angeles “indefinitely.”

The Countess added that she hoped the “Beverly Hills ladies are ready!”

Both some fans on Instagram and Reddit fell for her prank.

“she got me,” confessed one fan of the prank posted by Luann.

“I just had a heart attack,” wrote another victim of de Lesseps’ joke.

And on Reddit‘s Real Housewives community, a post headlined “Luann’s moving to LA! Guess she’s quitting RHONY??” was taken seriously by some commentators.

One was quick to correct those who didn’t realize the connection between April 1 and de Lesseps joke, writing, “I guess you didn’t remember the date.”
