During her sold-out holiday cabaret show, \u201cA Very Countess Christmas,\u201d Luann de Lesseps took a comedic jab at her former \u201cReal Housewives of New York City\u201d co-star, Bethenny Frankel, in New York City. In a video exclusively obtained by Page Six, de Lesseps addressed a fan\u2019s question about Frankel, bringing a touch of humor to the situation.<\/p>\n
With wit and flair, de Lesseps referenced Frankel\u2019s recent comments targeting Bravo executive Andy Cohen and NBC Universal. She questioned Frankel\u2019s actions, urging her to move on from the situation. The singer and reality TV personality criticized Frankel\u2019s ongoing engagement with the show\u2019s topics, suggesting she should enjoy her financial success without harping on past matters. De Lesseps even playfully referenced one of Frankel\u2019s well-known phrases from the show, signaling her to leave them alone and go to bed.<\/p>\n
According to reports, de Lesseps\u2019 performance drew an enthusiastic response from the audience, with cheers and wild reactions filling the venue. Another source described the lively atmosphere, noting the need for three martinis to match the excitement of the evening.<\/p>\n
The roast from de Lesseps follows Frankel\u2019s legal dispute against Bravo and NBC, where she alleges mistreatment of reality TV stars, manipulation, and other concerns in her lawsuit. Frankel has been vocal about her intentions to advocate for better treatment of reality TV performers and the release of individuals from nondisclosure agreements.<\/p>\n
Frankel\u2019s stance on the competitive and often cutthroat nature of reality TV was shared on her Instagram, emphasizing the need to navigate the industry\u2019s challenges and the consequences of not adapting to its demands.<\/p>\n
In response to criticism, Frankel defended her perspective, indicating that the system itself warrants critique due to the cycle of ratings, commercial success, and the toll it takes on participants. She highlighted the mutual benefit where reality stars contribute content and catchphrases, while networks profit immensely from their involvement.<\/p>\n
