Luаnn de Lesseрs Reасts to 'Personа Non Grаtа' Betһenny Frаnkel Cаllіng For OG RHONY Return

Lu also shares her own opinion on the new RHONY cast -- stating, "they're not us" and claiming they're "hiding from the camera" -- before revealing where she stands with Bethenny now.

Former Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps says the new Bravo cast "are not us," as she reacts to Bethenny Frankel's calls to bring back the OGs.

While sitting down with TooFab exclusively in Beverly Hills ahead of de Lesseps' "All New Countess Cabaret", Marry F Kill! tour, the Bravo star opened up about how she felt hearing Frankel "kind of" give her a compliment.

"Well, listen, she's been bashing us for so long," de Lesseps told TooFab exclusively. "And then going after the house we built, which was with Andy [Cohen], I think she's persona non grata at this point. But I thought it was very nice of her to kind of promote the OGs. It's interesting how she left herself out."

Her comments come after Frankel threw some serious shade at the new version of the long-running franchise she used to be a part of in a since-deleted TikTok video.

As for whether there's still bad blood between her and Bethenny -- who clashed frequently on the reality show that ran for 15 seasons -- Lu tells TooFab, "It's all good I saw her at a party in the Hamptons recently. So we kind of made up. But it's not like she's the girl I'd call in a case of emergency."

That honor, she added, goes to Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.

While the 59-year-old reality star-turned-cabaret singer said the new RHONY cast is "fabulous" and "beautiful," she also admitted they have "big shoes to fill."

"On the Housewives of New York, we were so authentic. You can't make that up. The camera doesn't lie. I had one of the new Housewives asked me, 'How do you guys do it? There was so much stuff that was going on,' and I said, 'We were just living our lives,'" she explained.

"The new Housewives, they're great, they're beautiful, they have careers," she added. "But they're not us and that's the why people miss the OGs, because we were really friends authentically and we knew where all the skeletons were buried."
