Barbara Kavovit Ends 14-Year Friendship With ‘Narcissist’ Luann de Lesseps; Says “She Will Never Have Me As A Friend Again”

Barbara Kavovit gets candid about ending her 14-year friendship with Luann de Lessesp. “The narcissism of this woman, the self-importance and her blatant disregard for people that have helped her has got to stop,” the former Real Housewives of New York City star said during an appearance on Us Weekly’s “Hot Hollywood” podcast.

“Not only myself, but [our mutual friend] Anne and I’m sure Bethenny [Frankel], and even Mary, who does her makeup, we are disgusted with her. It’s just her total disregard for anyone else. I have no words for her anymore.”

According to Barbara, the “last straw” in their friendship was Luann’s comments about her on Jenny McCarthy’s SiriusXM show on Tuesday, October 29.

“Girlfriend, I can carry a tune, so hell with Barbara,” Luann said, referring to Barbara saying Luann is “no Adele” during the RHONY Season 11 reunion. “That’s the second time, also, that she got caught on camera talking smack about me. … You have to pull the weeds, so you can make room for the lowers.”

Barbara reveals she was in disbelief by de Lessep's comment. “That’s the thing with a narcissist, you can look at yourself and believe that everything about you is so wonderful and throw everyone away,” she told Us Weekly. “I remember last year, picking her up off the floor, literally, trying to carry her, protect her. I was her protector for 14 years. … To make it like she’s pull weeds, like I was the bad person, like Bethenny was the bad person? … My prediction? She hasn’t hit rock bottom yet.”

She concluded: “There is no good with Luann. I had a 14-year friendship with her that I will walk away from forever. She will never have me as a friend again.”

Barbara appeared last season on The Real Housewives of New York City as an official "friend" of the cast. After the show wrapped, the construction guru revealed that she was not returning to the Bravo hit reality series for the show's upcoming twelfth season.
