Luann de Lesseps has faced some harsh criticism from Real Housewives of New York viewers after she forgave Thomas D’Agostino for his cheating during last week’s finale episode. As Bethenny Frankel pointed out, many viewers were a bit confused as to why she was mad about him being caught and not being angry about the betrayal.
Over the years, Luann herself has been accused of cheating on her various partners, so maybe she understands what it is like to get caught in the moment. But people were surprised that she was so forgiving and that she’s moving forward with the wedding.
According to a new tweet, Luann de Lesseps is now facing some harsh criticism after she slammed Bethenny Frankel for sharing the news with her. In addition, people can’t seem to understand why Luann would stick with Thomas after he clearly betrayed her. And sadly, this kissing scandal is far from the first red flag that has popped up with this guy. He had previously dated Sonja Morgan and Ramona Singer, both of whom are friends with de Lesseps.

“Tom and I sat down with Alicia Quarles for The Insider. Will air Wednesday on CBS at 7 pm ET. Hope you watch xo,” Luann de Lesseps revealed on Twitter, sharing that she did an interview where she possibly defends her decision to stick with Thomas despite his cheating.
But it sounds like her fans are starting to turn on her a bit based on her decisions to stick with him. It’s clear that they don’t agree with her decision, and they want her to realize that he cheated on her. He had previously lied about his relationships with her Real Housewives of New York co-stars, but she seems completely blind by love.

“No matter how you try to spin it to save face, he CHEATED on you,” one person wrote in reply to her tweet about the interview, while another revealed, “I am a fan but don’t think Bethenny meant harm by telling the truth re Tom. You should thank her not bash her #RHONY.”
Sadly, it didn’t stop there. People had plenty of things to say about de Lesseps and Thomas. Many people think he’s creepy and that he’s lying about his past relationships to impress Luann. Bethenny even brought up rumors that he only dated rich women even though he claimed he had plenty of money. Luann admitted that she may have more money than him.

“He is creepy. Luann I think u r making a mistake,” “Luann you are a fool. And nasty as well,” “Everything starts, ‘Tom and I…’ A woman afraid to stand alone.. is afraid of herself,” and “Will Tom make out with her when you’re in the restroom? Old tricks die hard,” were some of the other comments that surfaced in reply to Luann de Lesseps’ tweet about the interview.
Even though Luann de Lesseps opened up about her feelings in a recent Bravo blog post, it sounds like fans are turning their backs on her. They are not pleased with her behavior, and if she returns for another season of the show, it can be hard for her to regain support from viewers.

“The Countess has made it very easy for viewers to not like her so much!” another follower wrote, while others added, “Watching HNYC sorry to say this but you really sounded desperate all these excuses for Tom. Not away to start a new life,” “The truth is he cheated really u need to sit on a talk show fool!!!! He cheated that took 30 sec no show needed the end,” and “You took the oldest play in the book and got mad at the friend who told. No respect for that.”
What do you think about Luann de Lesseps these days? Do you think her behavior has completely changed after this season of The Real Housewives of New York ?
