When it comes to the Real Housewives of New York City, drama is never far behind. In a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Sonja Morgan found herself at the center of controversy, but her BFF Luann de Lesseps is standing firmly by her side.

Luann, known as the Countess, is no stranger to the ups and downs of reality TV friendships. Defending Sonja amidst the chaos, she shared insights into the situation that unfolded during the 15th-anniversary taping of the show.

Addressing the public scrutiny that followed Jeff Lewis' comments on Sonja's behavior, Luann expressed her unwavering support for her friend. She highlighted Sonja's unique personality, stating, "Sonja's very special. I adore her. But some people that don’t know her aren’t used to her antics."

Amidst Sonja's recent challenges, including the auction sale of her iconic Manhattan townhouse, Luann shed light on the role of alcohol in coping with tough times. She mentioned, "Alcohol was invented for a reason — to help you through s—t. She’s been going through a hard time."

While Jeff Lewis was taken aback by Sonja's behavior, Luann offered a different perspective, acknowledging Sonja's tendency to become a bit "messy" when enjoying vodka. She emphasized, "I love her. But she gets a little .. you know … and then she starts talking all over the place."

Despite the chaos that ensued during the "WWHL" taping, Luann defended Sonja's intentions, stating, "It was messy, but it was fun. It was messy, but listen, I’ve fallen into a bush [on national television], so who am I to judge?"

Jeff Lewis later recounted his experience with Sonja on his radio show, describing her as belligerent, rude, and confrontational. However, a source revealed that Sonja had arrived intoxicated at the shoot, leading to adjustments in her beverage choices during filming.

Despite the criticisms, Luann remained unfazed by Sonja's behavior, citing their shared history and camaraderie. She mentioned, "I did ‘Crappie Lake’ with her so I know the drill," showcasing the depth of their friendship beyond the TV screen.

Looking ahead, Luann hinted at the possibility of a second season of their unscripted series, "Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake," inspired by iconic reality shows of the past. She expressed optimism about the show's future, highlighting the challenges of finding an authentic filming location.

As Luann continues her "Marry F Kill!" cabaret tour, connecting with fans across different cities, she reflects on the joy of staying connected through her performances. From Baltimore to New York City, her tour promises entertainment and engagement for fans of the Real Housewives franchise.
