Countess LuAnn De Lesseps Slams Sonja Morgan For Not Supporting Her Clothing Launch: 'I Was Hurt That She Did Nothing For Me'

On May 17, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps launched her new clothing line “Countess Luann Apparel Collection” on ShopHQ.
While most of de Lesseps’s The Real Housewives of New York City costars, friends and former costars — Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, Andy Cohen, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin — tweeted their support for the new launch, de Lessep’s supposed good friend Sonja Morgan failed to show any type of backing.
“I was hurt that Sonja not only did not do anything for me, she put something out on her own style and fashion,” de Lesseps exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News. “I felt bad. I felt like this isn’t the friend that I know.”
De Lesseps felt like her friendship with Morgan was a façade.
“Sonja and I have always been really close and I have always been there for her,” she said. “So I was just surprised that she was not supportive of this big day for me.”
Morgan didn’t step up at all.
“Not only was it the launch of my brand, it was my birthday,” de Lesseps said. “Andy Cohen, Kelly Bensimon, even Jill Zarin put it out there for me and were very supportive. It just hurts that she didn’t do anything.”
De Lesseps was even more upset when Morgan posted a message on Instagram about her own person style and fashion expertise on the same day that the Countess’ line launched.
