Carole Radziwill denies that her mother-in-law is upset with her for bringing up the subject of her son’s death on The Real Housewives of New York City . On Wednesday, Page Six reported that Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is upset with Carole for using Anthony Radziwill’s death as a storyline on an episode.
“She feels it’s tacky,” the website quoted a source as saying.
Carole denied the story, labeling it as “trash.” Carole stated that her mother-in-law adored her and vice versa.
Pg. 6 writes trash. No one believes those “close source” stories. My MIL adores me and I adore her. Period. https://t.co/pXPOukQX6U

Carole also mentioned the Twitter account @LeeRadziwill , which is actually not Lee’s real account, but a satire account run by someone else. Carole pointed out that the fake Twitter account shouldn’t be used as a source.
I didn’t know parody twitter accts were “sources.” #pg6 #nypost #pathetic https://t.co/bxvcZIQv5x

Carole blasted Page Six for using Lee’s name to spread hate.
Satire isn’t lies. Shame someone would use her name for hate. She’s an amazing woman. @LeeRadziwill https://t.co/dl0VEWz5Vb

Carole added that the thought of Lee watching Real Housewives made her laugh.
Prior to Tuesday night’s episode, the fake Lee Radziwill Twitter account, which Carole actually follows, bashed Carole for exploiting her husband’s death for ratings .

Tuesday night’s episode showed Carole Radziwill retrieving Anthony’ Radziwill’s ashes from its resting place in London. She was accompanied by co-star Dorinda Medley, who also lost her husband young and used to lived in London. Carole tearfully remembered her husband, and she and Dorinda bonded over their shared experience.
Anthony, whose father was a Polish prince, died of cancer in 1999, when he was 40. He and Carole, who both worked at ABC as journalists, married in 1994, after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Carole was his primary caretaker. Carole’s memoir, What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love , recounts her marriage to Anthony, his illness, and death.
In her latest BravoTV.com blog post, even LuAnn de Lesseps praised Carole , with whom she has been feuding on the show, for staying strong despite what life handed to her.
“Both Carole and Dorinda’s husbands left the party way too early, and I admire how both ladies have persevered in spite of the tragedies that befell them.”
LuAnn de Lesseps’ praise for Carole Radziwill over how she has been able to move on from such a tragic event doesn’t mean that the two are getting along now. The two fought viciously as recently as two weeks ago. On Thursday, Us Weekly reported that the two nearly had a physical fight during the Real Housewives of New York City reunion filming. LuAnn accused Carole of stealing her niece’s ex, the much-younger Adam Kenworthy. In retaliation, Carole brought up LuAnn messing around with a married man during the group’s Turks and Caicos vacation. According to a source, LuAnn then lunged at Carole.
“She lunged at Carole, screaming, ‘How dare you?’ Carole put her hands up and told her to back off.”
As previously reported by the Inquisitr , LuAnn, in a blog post, maintained that the married man did not break his marriage vows the night he was with her.
