The drama between former Real Housewives of New York stars Luann de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel continues!
Live, Laugh, Lu!
During one of Luann’s live cabaret shows, she was asked what she’s been up to since she’s been in Chicago. “I’ve been shopping. I went to Cartier.”
“Then, I went to Chanel. They actually let me in.” (ICYMI, Bethenny had a very public meltdown after security at Chanel didn’t allow her in the store earlier this year.)
Luann proceeded to show off a Chanel gift bag teasing her live audience. So told the crowd, that when she was shopping at Chanel, she tried to call B. “But, she didn’t pick up.”
She continued to work the crowd. “I had to do it. It happened right here in your town by the way. They took her away from Chanel.” Luann made a gesture showing her excitement at B being blocked from the high-end store. “I mean … too good!”

Re: the time Bethenny was denied entrance to Chanel …
Donning a pale pink sweatshirt, the former Bravo TV personality posted a manic video from outside of a Chanel store in Chicago after being turned away for not having an appointment … like an “interloper.”
She paired her video with the caption, “Crime is at an all-time high and security is critical. I could easily call one of my salespeople and get on this list. That’s beside the point. I was straight off a plane in a sweaty t-shirt and not dolled up or looking wealthy.”
“There are several ways to convey a message and this way was rudeness and elitist and exclusionary, which is also a crime. In business, first impressions are lasting. I would never want anyone to feel lesser than, particularly from a luxury brand making billions off of people buying into the hype. Chanel is a beautiful brand with timeless classic pieces. Being kind to customers of all socioeconomic backgrounds is also timeless and classic.”
