BravoThere is no love lost between Carole Radizwill and Luann de Lesseps on The Real Housewives of New York City. On the Wednesday, April 27 episode, Carole and Luann came face-to-face for the first time in eight months after a season (on TV and on social media) of a bevy of negative comments. According to Luann, Carole said nasty things as well. According to Carole, it was all Luann. All this because Carole started dating Adam Kenworthy, a chef who at one point worked for Luann and dated her niece.
So eight months after the season seven reunion they were together at Bethenny Frankel's birthday party. Luann was eager to put everything behind them…but is there a future to move toward? While on Watch What Happens Live, a viewer asked Carole why she didn't accept Luann's apology.
"OK, she didn't apologize. This scene, the birthday was eight months after she said lots of really nasty stuff…With some of these women you need evidence. I wish I had brought all of her tweets, her interviews…it's one thing to say if you don't like my boyfriend or something, but she was age shaming, she was female-bashing. It's that kind of misogynistic bulls—t we hear from men all the time…you don't need to hear it from a woman, let alone someone you considered a friend," Carole told Andy Cohen. "She never apologized, which was the funny thing and moving on, I had so moved on. I had told her, ‘Luann I have so moved on, you're not in my life and that's OK.'"
They two decided to be cordial to one another, but they were not friends.
"You can see when I arrived at Bethenny's party that I was in a great mood and that I brought a hula-hoop just for the fun of it. Who doesn't love hula-hoops? If Carole doesn't like the way I make an entrance, she should stay home. Instead she talked about me behind my back and was a huge downer," Luann wrote in her blog. "I was completely ready to make up and move forward, but Carole will not let go of an argument that lost its relevancy a year ago! Old news! Instead of burying the hatchet, I felt like Carole was chasing me with one. Yet, in spite of our disagreement, you can see that we agreed to be cordial to one another even if we aren't going to be friends. That's about as good as it's going to get, and I'm OK with that."
