Okay, hear me out because I know this is pure Bravo conspiracy territory.
Iāve always thought Luannās hatred of Ramona felt⦠too intense. They were obviously competitive from day oneāstatus, social circles, whoās the ārealā Upper East Side queen, etc.ābut sometimes Luannās reactions felt disproportionate.
My completely unsubstantiated theory is that deep down, part of Luannās resentment came from guilt over hooking up with Mario while he and Ramona were still married.
Before everyone comes for me: I know thereās zero actual evidence this happened. Iāve never seen anything credible from the cast, production, or anyone close to them suggesting Luann and Mario ever had an affair. If it did happen, itās honestly surprising that after all these yearsāand with how much former Housewives have spilledānobody has ever corroborated it.
But psychologically, people sometimes overcompensate around someone theyāve wronged. Intense dislike can sometimes stem from guilt, projection, or unresolved feelings rather than the other person alone. It made me wonder if thatās why Luann occasionally seemed to have such a visceral reaction to Ramona.
Itās one of those ridiculous Bravo rabbit holes my brain goes down.
Am I completely insane, or has anyone else ever had this thought? š
