A day after Luann de Lesseps announced she was checking herself into rehab, a new report is now stating her ex-husband would like her to change her last name!
The reason? Well apparently Count Alexandre de Lesseps feels the Real Housewives of New York star is ruining his family name especially in light of her recent drunken arrest.
Sources tell Page Six that the Count is “mortified and ashamed” about Luann’s arrest and charges for disorderly intoxication, battery of an officer, resisting arrest and making threats against a public servant.
“He told her she is ruining the family name and should drop it if she’s continuing to act like this . . . He is watching from abroad and is totally embarrassed,” reveals a source. Ouch.
A rep for Luann is however trying to put a positive spin on all this as when asked about the Count’s concerns, they simply stated that “her entire family has been totally supportive.”
Unfortunately for Luann, there is another ex-husband who also wants no association with her and that is her recent husband of 7 months Tom D’Agostino.
Page Six is also reporting that Tom, 50, is planning an “unwedding party” on what would have been the one year anniversary of his wedding to Luann, 52.
The party, which will celebrate his 51st birthday, is reportedly set to take place in Palm Beach, Fla., on New Year’s Eve… a year after he and Luann tied the knot on NYE in Palm Beach. Classy!
As for Luann, she released a statement yesterday to announce her decision to enter rehab. She stated, “I am truly embarrassed. I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center.”
