RHONY: Luann de Lesseps says Carole Radziwill isn’t ‘worth’ her energy
By Mads Lennon
Carole Radziwill might no longer be on Real Housewives of New York, but she and Luann de Lesseps still have beef between them. During a recent podcast interview, Luann slammed her former co-star for her continued comments made on social media regarding Bravo, the show and Luann, specifically.
While chatting with David Yontef on the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, Luann said, “I don’t get involved in that. I feel like social media can be great, but the downside of that is people attack each other from their computers and I think that’s just not my vibe. And you see Carole Radziwill makes negative comments about Bravo, and me, and I don’t even engage because she’s not worth my energy.”
Real Housewives of New York: Carole & Luann’s feud started over Adam Kenworthy
Fans of Real Housewives of New York know that the big feud between the former countess and Carole first started primarily between the show’s seventh and eighth seasons when Luann took issue with Carole’s relationship with Adam Kenworthy.
Before dating Carole, Adam was dating Luann’s niece. Significantly younger than Carole, Luann also repeatedly made derogatory comments about their age difference and even called Carole a “pedafile” something she infamously (sort of) tried apologizing for at the Berzerkshires in Season 8.
While the pair seemed to eventually makeup, they were never exactly best friends, and Carole has not been shy about letting her feelings about Bravo be known on social media and in interviews of her own.
Per Heavy, Carole previously spoke about her exit from the show during an interview with the Dear Media’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. She said, “A lot of things happened the last season…I was arguing about everything. I was very upset [with] the way production was handling it. It’s a toxic environment. It was what I called the Bravo machine. They hated when I said that. I think I’m like forbidden to say those two words.”
Carole also previously tweeted that Dorinda Medley was the only “real” housewife after she was fired from the cast and she slammed Luann for partying maskless in Florida during the pandemic back in January.
It’s surprising that it took this long for Luann to fire back at Carole, but it’ll be interesting to see if their feud continues over social media.
New episodes of Real Housewives of New York air Tuesday nights on Bravo.
