Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is the housewife on “The Real Housewives of New York City” reality show, who became ‘Countless’ when her husband Count Alexandre de Lesseps sent her an email requesting a divorce after 16 years of marriage. Nevertheless, the Countess has moved on to French wine distributor, Jacques Azoulay, after finalizing her divorce. She is very taken with Jacques dark skin and good looks and feels ecstatic, that their relationship is becoming serious. Luann also flew to Paris to meet with Jacques Azoulay’s family, which she considered the meeting to have gone quite well.
With extra time on her hands, the Countess Luann de Lesseps has claimed the position of BFF with Jill Zarin and appointed herself spokeswoman and protector of this new found friendship between Jill Zarin and herself. The Countess actions can be very contradicting at times for a person who regally insist on being called a Countess. Luann was disappointed that “ Playboy” did not approach her to pose for their “40th anniversary Playboy edition” magazine spread. She did make it clear that she has plenty of experience in the modeling world, and if she was approached to do a spread for “Playboy”, she would consider the offer. It would be her way of introducing us to a new generation of classy women with an exuberant taste geared toward modern social graces. Hopefully there will be a new book written by Countess Luann de Lesseps teaching us on “How To Be A Countess Outside The Social Barriers of Class and Status”.
It is clearly obvious that Luann is eager about stepping in to Bethenny Frankel’s BFF spot with Jill Zarin, since Bethenny no longer holds the number one BFF card in Jill Zarin’s close circle of “The Real Housewives of NYC” reality show group of friends. Jill Zarin on the other hand has no idea what being a Countess is really all about. Her recent actions on the reality show and her constant reference to the Countess character shows she could use a few tips on “The Art of Being Yourself in Any Situation”. Jill Zarin also sees herself moving up the social ladder with Countess Luann de Lesseps as her BFF girlfriend.
