Bethenny Frankel Defends Her Savage Slut Shaming of Luann De Lesseps #RHONY

The Berkshires nastiness continued this week on the Real Housewives of New York. And while Bethenny Frankel admits she was wrong to yell at Luann de Lesseps.

“Oy. Well evidently Pitbull is not only a musical artist but also a Housewife… I say it in the moment and not behind people’s backs. I left it all on the court, as always.”

When Bethenny apologizes, she turns it back on herself. She shouldn’t have called Luann vile names because that’s not the person Bethenny wants to be. Not because it was rude or hurtful or just plain unnecessary.

“I was genuinely satisfied with her apology, and I believe I made it clear that I wasn’t happy with my delivery. I own my sh–.”

Um…that’s debatable.

“That argument was insane. I meant it all. I am not a slut shamer. I am a hypocrite and dishonesty shamer.  Many of you noticed that Luann spelled my name incorrectly on her phone. Perhaps I would have been softer on her or forgiven her if she knew how to spell my name after eight years.”

The next morning, Bethenny and Carole couldn’t wait to get out of Dorinda’s house of horrors and hie off back home.

“To say that I couldn’t get out of that house fast enough would be a massive understatement. In a perfect world, I’d want to thank Dorinda for her graciousness but having to see Luann again was the last thing I wanted to do.”

Carole was right that we had to say goodbye, especially given my exodus at Jules‘ house. So that was definitely bitchy.”

The ladies next gathered at Ramona’s sad sack holiday party.

“I really had had my fill. I didn’t want to revisit the situation with Luann… As far as Sonja, this stupidity caused me unnecessary aggravation. While I didn’t have major animosity for her, I definitely didn’t need any more altercations. I was chock full. I guess I’m always running out of places on this show. Life is too short to hang out where you don’t want to be and to argue with who you don’t want to see.”

Is that a hint that she won’t be back next year? Only time — and a bigger salary — will tell. Anyway, Bethenny has mellowed since last Christmas.

“Hopefully my tone settles a little bit. I was under a lot of stress, dealing with a major health issue, and Luann may be right that I was sexually deprived and wound up. Who knows. [sic] It was so long ago.”

And she still loves the women. Sort of.

“I have a soft spot for Luann and most of the Housewives. We have been through work, love and war together, and honestly, none of it matters. We’re healthy, fortunate, beautiful women.”

So how resilient is Luann for sitting at a table and pouring Bethenny a glass of wine after that horrifying argument? I’d have been curled in a fetal position, rocking myself back and forth. What about you?
