Betthany and Ramona are probably laughing their skinny girl asses off right now. Everyone on The Real Housewives of New York has been getting soooo over Luann De Lesseps and her whole “call me Countess- I’m-writing-a-book-on-etiquette” thing she ‘s got going on. So the fact that her husband the Count has just dumped her for an Ethiopian chick is bound to make the NY gals snicker a little bit.

“She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”

Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated,” the close friend told Page Six. “They have basically lived apart for many years — he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen.

“It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she’s taking the high road and will remain friends with him,” the source added. “She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She’s just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace.”

Perhaps Luann should teach the Count some manners. Ending a 15 year marriage through email is so plebean. Luann’s new condescending book Class with the Countess will still be published next month…although she won’t be a Countess for much longer.
