‘RHONY’ Fans Rally Around Luann de Lesseps As She Relives Cheating Bombshell

It may have been the toughest to watch episode in Luann de Lesseps’ reality career, but that didn’t silence the Real Housewives of New York star.

Bethenny Frankel discovered that Luann’s fiance, Tom D’Agostino, had been seen getting frisky with another woman, but rather than breaking the news quietly, Bethenny appeared to summon the spotlight.

Bethenny buzzed excitedly about the seedy info to several in the cast, then broke the news to Luann dramatically on camera. Reality TV is a shady game — and Bethenny is allegedly calling the shots, as the NYC franchise concludes it’s eighth season. Luann spoke out on Twitter, and raked in the fan support.

After Luann acknowledged how hard it was to relive the difficult moment, the still-engaged Countess explained why she asked for a break from filming. Fans sounded off — sharing their input. Many blasted the messenger, calling out Bethenny’s gossipy approach.

Was I devastated when I heard? Yes completely. Didn't know what to do asked the crew to stop filming so I could be private #honest #inpain

You deserved better than that. Better from a friend, or from any woman on the planet, or even from a stranger! #RHONY

I like Bethenny but if someone was a real friend they &cared a lot about you they would have told you that news off camera.

I'm sorry it must have been so hard. Being told on camera was wrong & also telling all the girls first #meangirl #RHONY #

Real friends would protect you and have your back. Not secretly gloat in your difficulty.

many of us sincerely wish that you find happiness in your relationship even if some of your "friends" wish otherwise

Were you as disgusted as I was at their inside jokes at dinner? @Bethenny laughed hard & later acts like it hurt to tell you

Fan sentiment was divided, when weighing in on Luann’s decision to stay with Tom. A common sentiment described the delivery as nasty, but the disclosure necessary.   

bethenny needed to tell her, she could have done it off camera however Tom is to blame

Fans shared their good wishes with Luann, as she relived the confusing nightmare.

He kissed a woman during your engagement, not the end of the world…keep it in perspective, mend, heal and love..
