LuAnn de Lesseps

There have been a number of insulting claims about Luann de Lesseps' rehab stay. Some of her co-stars think she only sought treatment to stay out of jail.

But Luann herself made a claim, just before she returned to rehab this summer, that she is "too busy to be an alcoholic."

Poor Luann de Lesseps has been so embattled during her recovery from alcoholism. She could always use another friend -- and there's good news.

Luann's friend Barbara Kavovit will be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City.

It was the end of the line for Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 22, as the two women admitted it was time to move on. 

Radziwill was quick to reveal that Bethenny's harsh comments about her in the confessionals were too hurtful to move on from. 

The long-gestating feud between Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps continued on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 18. 

Yes, this feud is absurd, but it's making for good TV, we guess. 

The ladies finally embarked on the boat trip from hell on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 17, and it made for one of most fun episodes in franchise history. 

For months, fans have only been able to hear stories about what transpired during the trip to Cartegena, and it was getting difficult to remain excited about an event that we heard so much about. 

It sure looks like there's no hope for Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill. 

Their feud continued on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 6, and while it made for good TV, you could tell both women were done with each other. 

As previously previewed, The Real Housewives of New York City are getting ready to set sail on the boat trip from Hell.

But People Magazine now confirms that Luann de Lesseps is getting ready for a very different, far more important kind of trip:

Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill aren't the only The Real Housewives of New York City stars to have a frittered friendship.

Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer weren't exactly joined at the hip before, but now Luann is taking her to task.
