Too old?! Not Luann de Lesseps!
The Real Housewives of New York alum is clapping back at claims she’s “too old” to wear a bikini!
Luann found herself on the receiving end of some unwanted hate after she posted a series of bikini photos on her Instagram.
“What’s cooking? ? @chateaumarmont,” Luann captioned the group of photos.
While many fans commented on how “gorgeous” Luann looked and what a “hottie” she was, some fans thought the photos were tasteless considering the reality TV star‘s age. FYI, Lu is 57.
“You look wonderful, but Why? This makes you look like you need attention for [the] wrong reasons.
Money can’t buy you class,” one fan commented.
A second fan wrote: “Really, where is [the] class?”
“Oh my lord, she’s a bit thirsty. I feel so sorry for people who are unhappy on the inside. She’s beautiful. She doesn’t have to get likes and follows like this…does she??” a third fan commented.
Another fan quipped, “Way too old, boo!!!!!”
Days later, Luann clapped back at the hate in a new post on her Instagram page.
In a video, Luann said:
“I’m proud of the fact that I can still rock a bikini at this age. Women should be able to wear whatever they want at any age, as long as they feel good.”
She then quoted one of her most iconic lines from RHONY:
“So be cool, don’t be all like, uncool.”
Bravo fans and Housewives alike rallied around Luann’s fight against ageism.
“Totally Lu, you look better than a lot of 20-year-olds,” RHOM star Marysol Patton wrote. RHOBH‘s Sutton Stracke agreed, commenting, “Too old for what? I’m confused?”
“Same. And love this stand on ageism. It’s only directed at women – have you ever heard someone say “He’s too old for a bare chest”? NOPE,” one fan wrote.
“Preach girl, preach!” a fan said while another added: “They’re just jealous.”
RHONY is expected to return for season 14 in mid-to-late 2023.
