Luann de Lesseps got a front row seat to the hammering in the Hamptons that Dorinda Medley gave Sonja Morgan this week on The Real Housewives Of New York. Though she only added a fraction of fuel to the fire during the mayhem, Luann says she was one hundred percent behind Dorinda’s decision to let Sonja have it! After all, Sonja had been allegedly bad-mouthing Luann and Tom D’Agostino in the press for months as well.
“With friendships, I believe that it’s OK to let some stuff slide,” explains Luann, “but if something is really bothering me, I try to talk it out. Dorinda is the same way. She wants to say her piece and then move on.” And say her piece, she certainly did.

In her blog, Luann expresses empathy for Dorinda’s situation, and understanding about why she went off on Sonja. She thinks that “when she [Dorinda] got on a roll at Ramona [Singer’s] dinner party about how she was tired of seeing her name in the press in connection with Sonja, the delivery might not have been fabulous, but I know I was behind Dorinda all the way, and I wasn’t the only one!”
Luann continues, “Sonja’s loose lips (and that’s an understatement) have gotten her in hot water not only with Dorinda, but with me too. I felt the best solution was to get Dorinda away from the table for a glass of wine so that she could regroup. Sonja stayed calm and respectful and that is why I think the next day, at my brunch, she was able to hug it out with Dorinda.”
The lightning fast make-up at Luann’s brunch between Dorinda and Sonja notwithstanding, it’s tough to swallow just how fast everyone in the group moved on from that train wreck. But as the ex-Countess one auto tuned sang, C’est La Vie!

Plus, Luann has more fabulous things to focus on these days – like her newly renovated Hamptons home. “I was glad to have the ladies over for brunch, and I was looking forward to showing them my new addition. When I found this house in Sag Harbor, I knew immediately that I wanted to add a master suite, and I have to say, I’m very happy with my decision. The space is beautiful, and it gives me more room for guests, which is a plus, especially in the summer. I felt that a toast to friendship and happiness was appropriate since Dorinda made up with Sonja and Sonja apologized to me and everyone was getting along. I think the stars were in alignment that day?”
But trouble is brewing now that Tinsley Mortimer is trying to build connections with the group, sans Sonja. Luann diplomatically points out, “As for Sonja getting angry with Tinsley about not being invited out with mutual friends, I can see both sides. Sonja was feeling excluded while Tinsley was doing what Sonja said she should do by establishing her own friendships. How they worked through their feelings shows once again that it’s better to talk it out and then hug it out!”
Just one question for Lu: Does Sonja still think she’s invited to the wedding now that it’s come and gone, and she wasn’t there? Hmm…
