LuAnn's 'A Thug in a Cocktail Dress' on 'The Real Housewives of NYC' (VIDEO)
Alex found herself in the middle of a very awkward moment on 'The Real Housewives of New York City' (Thu., 10PM ET on Bravo). The problem seems to be that these women address negative situations in even worse ways.LuAnn decided she needed to deal with Ramona being annoying and inappropriate and causing people to not want to go on a planned trip. But rather than talk to her, she decided to pick a fight with her and dress her down.
Now we agree that Ramona should not be trying to dictate what kinds of clothes LuAnn is allowed to wear, but LuAnn was clearly ill-equipped to deal with the very blunt Ramona.
LuAnn is used to playing games of high society, where you smile and wink and insult people, but nobody really acknowledges what's truly going on. Even fighting between society women is done with smiles up top and barbed knives stabbing down below.
So LuAnn was caught completely unprepared when Ramona said, "You're picking a fight." Of course that's what she was doing, but you don't just come right out and say it, Ramona! You smile and throw a barb back at her.
We were waiting for LuAnn to hit a confessional and say, "Ramona's not playing right!"
Alex tried to smooth things over, calling LuAnn a "thug in a cocktail dress," but LuAnn was determined to tell Ramona the other girls don't want to go on the trip. Sure her gossip is a few days old and Ramona just smoothed things over with them fifteen minutes ago, but that's her ammunition and she's going to use it.
And how dare Ramona correctly call it gossip. "Darling, don't you know that we don't gossip. We simply share information about other people behind their back and talk about what everyone else said. That's not gossip!"
You've gotta love these women!
