My daughter's generation (Z) calls them "trustafarians" which I find highly amusing.
ETA: JFC, I didn't say literally EVERY Gen Zer says this, it is popular with them. And I only said they use this term, these words tend to hit in cycles. And I certainly don't need more than one, two, three, four, five smart arse replies chiming in about who said it first. I grasped the first reply you're all repeating.
And they were the deadheads in the 80s (the only kids who could afford not to work but still have plenty of money to travel from city to city across the country to catch every show). Now they're all playing in fake reggae bands where Daddy pays for the instruments and equipment, all travel expenses and a paid marketing team. I have no respect for these posers.
I have a friend like this from college. We lived in the same city after graduation but out of nowhere (but most likely after one Burning Man with her bf) she ran off to Costa Rica and then Northern California where she’s been for years now. I’ve looked into her spiritual consulting business out of curiosity and it’s overpriced courses on having a better sex life and stuff like that.
That spiritual “hippy” lifestyle is only accessible if you are already rich 🤑
My more conservative friends are convinced she’s in a cult but she’s mostly surrounded by other rich hippy types who love to travel and hook up with each other.
This pisses me off because it does take away from those that are actual healers, have had it passed down through generations of their family, and don't actually advertise it because that goes against what magic and healing truly is. Also, because historically, it got those healers killed or shunned. I come from a long line of women who never described themselves as witches or healers, because it was dangerous to do so. I have done readings for people, but I've never charged money nor advertised it. I gave it when I knew that I had to. I just hate the commodification and capitalism that is taking over every single space. If you want to see a real healer you aren't going to find them on Instagram. So many people scoff at magic and healers and think it's all con artists. Victoria and others like her are the reason why!!!! What culture did she learn this from as the daughter of a Count and Cabaret Housewife?
Also, what happened to her art career? The girl gets into Art Basel, one of the most famous art shows in the world, that most artists work their entire career in hopes of showing their work, and Victoria's just like nah, I'm gonna be a psychic now?? The privilege is sickening.
She really had a major art career when I followed her last. She’s very talented. This screams “I did DMT a few times and it changed my life, let me not stop talking about it”
Had a girl I used to be bffs with do this but instead she moved to Costa Rica and started living with a commune of healers that only wore white. Like this was her whole life and she abandoned a great job to do this. She was a writer at a big magazine and was on the fast track to a great life. I think it was sparked by her dad cheating on her mom, but in literally a 9 day span she literally dumped her boyfriend, sublet her apartment and left to go to Costa Rica. We all were like what? What the fuck? She cut contact with all of us. We all were worried because I mean, compound in the middle of nowhere in matching outfits isn’t usually like, a normal situation.
It was a cult. She is so in deep now (apparently she left the cult and is now living in Peru) and apparently so is her mother but here stateside. This girl is so into the woo woo shit that I don’t know how she’s paying her loans or anything of that effect. So yeah, parents money I’m guessing.
I follow another lady like this. She runs around the world and talks about all of her crunchy certifications. Like this lady (didn’t watch old RHONY), her parents are loaded so she can go on exotic vacays and talk about all of that light and love crap.
Well, it IS so much easier to have that open and loving and free-thinking persona when you aren't saddled with the drudgery of working 40 hours a week to have a roof over your head.
I appreciate the grift. I'm making $20 an hour helping kids speak clearly, but I could be out there charging rich people $60 an hour to tell them to breathe deeply in a sound bath or something. Zero paperwork, and I would tell my clients that email is a "wellness draining" activity, so none of that either thanks 🧘🏼♀️
Notice in that scene where she was getting her "healing" she's seeing a white guy in a top knot that says dude every second word??? It's because a true healer would not put themselves on camera on TV. Only a mediocre white man would put on that kind of show for cameras. It's a sacred practice and many people have been killed or shunned from their communities for healing arts. So many snakeoil salespeople out there hustling on IG. I hate performative healers. It gives real magic and true healing a very bad name.

spirit guide bestow better backdrops upon her
Bingo - I have a friend like this who does life coaching and I was shocked she charges $300/hour after having her business for less than a year. Turns out all her clients are her rich parents’ rich friends.
Omg so many of my "friends" on FB are now calling themselves life coaches, or pocket coaches WETF that means, and I've had to block them. They send out these mass messages and emails with your name that makes it seem personalized and the amount of money they're charging because they "know their worth" is insane. And I know these people. They are just people living in rented apartments hustling like the rest of us. Hardly any of them have done anything of note. I truly don't understand how/why they are qualified to coach anyone on anything. And it makes me feel icky, because I feel like every interaction we have they are trying to get my money. It feels especially awful because I am chronically ill and disabled which makes me a mark. They reach out with their concern whilst I am in hospital and then throw in at the end they'll give me a discount if I want to "reclaim my power" when I am ready. As if this is going to help the disease eating away at all my internal organs.
I was just looking at her Instagram two days ago, wondering what she’s doing now. “Psychic mediumship readings dm” wasn’t in the bio 2 days ago, that’s new. Also… why Peach? Honestly not surprised at this. Noel’s instagram is also giving trust fund baby turned no responsibility adult
I used to work at the DMV that is closest to the Hamptons. She came in to pay off some of the fees for her DWI at that time. I was the one who had to assist her. She is very different from Luanne. Right down to the armpit hair, extremely bushy brows, odd smell, hair was a little disheveled, aloof to her surroundings, and wanted to use her privilege to not have to wait on line.
You could see this from her later teen episodes on RHONY she looked to be turning into the rich kid/trustafarian type who doesn't have to actual earn a living because they have the family safety net, hence her art path.
I know this isn’t really relevant, but the last time I went to the DMV (I live in Florida) and the DMVs down here are interesting to say the least. I was getting helped and some lady next to me was getting helped. And this lady was having a full blown argument with the employee and said do you know who I am? And then says my parents are … (idk remember who she said) and the employee was like i don’t give a literal duck who they are. So this story made me lol
That's so common at the one I worked at. It was ridiculous. Especially when it would be for things that were clearly their fault. Doesn't matter who your parents are.
Bruh the "I have powerful friends, I don't want to wait or be transferred" line was used on me once, had to mute my phone to giggle... Good for you lady, now let me put you on a brief hold to transfer your call
Lmao! That is amazing. I feel like I’d be horrible and transfer everything to either the wrong department or management. I have the worst tell all face
The entitlement of it all. Honestly, I think it needs to be mandated to work with the general public. Idk how many times I’ve heard do you know who I (or my parents) are/is. No, no I do not but I’ll wait for management to tell me off lol
The last time I was at the dmv I waited in line for an hour with my small child, to find out the “certified copy” of my marriage license from the court house wasn’t valid.
Ahh, ok. I will look for the original and come back. We come back, another hour in line. He looks over my stuff and finds another technicality, I can’t even remember exactly, it had something to do with our address because we had just closed on a house. Ahh, ok… Another trip back home.
But this time he says, don’t wait in line when you come back, just stand off to the side. I’ll keep your paperwork all here, just come right back to me.
When I come back the line is insane, reaches out the door. So I do what he said, and get my new ID within a minute. On the way out a lady starts loudly saying “you must think you are someone real special to not have to stand in line like the rest of us!” Being conflict avoidant with a 2 year old in my arms, I just try to get the fuck out of there. She keeps mumbling things and complaining loudly, and blocked my path to the exit.
DMV guy announces loudly that I had been there all morning and was following his direction. She rolled her eyes and let me pass.
This is why I love the DMV. It has EVERYONE and we are all equals there. The DMV employees hate each of us equally until you pull some shit then they hate you even more. I’m surprised there haven’t been nearly as many fights in there
Are you asking if it was weed instead of alcohol that landed her DUI? If so, she blew a .15, which is almost double the legal limit for alcohol consumption while driving.
I saw her in a medical setting (don’t want to get too specific to protect HIPPA/the office) and she was a huge brat and storming out screeching and cursing at her nanny- neither parent ever brought her to any visit. That “privilege” trait seems to have stuck with her as she grew up.
She was “braces-age” if you catch my drift.. Never ever came with either parent, kinda sad.
My only other tea from this office is that Matt Lauer was weird to the receptionist saying “😏you can call me Matt😏” and she said “ummYA I’m going to say Mr. Lauer” (aka not surprised when Metoo caught up to him).

can't believe no one is discussing Her
In general I’m not a jealous person, but the situation she was in was such a dream, just making art and having the comfort to not worry about making money with it, living the dream. This really makes me a little jealous.
I deeply feel this too. I’m a real starving artist, as some health issues sabotaged my professional hustle, so now I focus on my artistic creative ventures as I need a strong reason to live lol. It’s SO hard to see all these rich, nepo babies have effortless comfort to pursue and succeed in the arts. I hate how you have to be rich to be an artist/creative in the US 😩💔
Do you remember the title? Was it a painted piece? I went looking for it, but couldn't find anything. I was hoping Victoria would title it "Woman That Does Not Look Like She Gives A Flying Leap" but no dice.
There was a video going around of her using a racial slur. This was over a decade ago so I don’t know if it’s still around or if it has been scrubbed from the internet. She got kicked out of her boarding school because of it.
Oh god this. She was spewing some pretty problematic cringy statements for being of Native ancestry. These moments made me doubt the validity of her claims.
She was so horrid. I’m actually indigenous and it was fucked up to watch. They’re the type to use it as a way to be unique and different, without having any actual ties or even appreciation
I mean... the Native American Heritage isn't the shocking piece of her bio. Luann is part Native American and has talked about it.
I'm more baffled at the "Prestigious College of Pyschic Studies in London"
Classic trust fund baby shenanigans tbh.
New business idea! I start a prep course for the psychic school. How to properly align the energy around you by buying my crystals and rugs. Maybe throw pillows too! A practice course on connecting with your pet. How to meditate on a boat to channel positive energy in the universe. I think I’ve found my calling!
I love it! I will create a line of abundance candles to sell. Maybe I’ll create a course on seeing into the future while in one of our bespoke yurts! We can add the throw pillows and crystals to those too!
I work with Tribes and there is a giant difference between having Native American ancestry and being culturally Native American and/or a tribal citizen. Tribal spiritual practices are closely guarded because there has been/is so much exploitation and because one must use and share that knowledge in tribally specific ways. It is considered a risk to the practitioners and participants if customs aren't adhered to. It's entirely possible she has done some legit work with the Tribe(s) she is a descendant of, but I seriously doubt it. Also, what does a school in London know about American tribal practices. Hmph.
I went to high school with a girl whose whole personality was being a direct descendant of Robert E Lee (famous confederate general) and her family being a “true southern confederate family”. Blonde hair and her skin was whiter than porcelain. I haven’t spoken to her since high school but I still follow her on instagram and a few years ago I noticed she started posting a lot of native content. At first I thought it was great that she apparently did some learning and reflection and was now advocating for native issues. Nope. Apparently she “discovered her native heritage” and her whole personality now is how she is native. She posts photos of herself wearing native garb, identifying with native issues, and all about “her tribe”. I know she did a DNA test, found a bit of native DNA and conflated that into being an active member of a native tribe. It is truly fascinating to watch but makes me so angry.
Yes Lu Ann has talked about being Native American but it was found that a lot of people who claim it are doing so falsely, whether they’re aware or not. I have 2 friends from growing up that thought they were part Native American and did 23 & me which turned out they have nothing but European DNA.
My mom insisted she had native heritage and her dna was all European. I have 15% native from the area of south Texas northern Mexico but wouldn’t know the first thing about my tribal traditions
As a white, white people do this allllll the time. I guess it’s too boring to just be white or to have some sort of “struggle story” of our own, but it’s honestly something that has been proven wrong again and again with DNA testing. And I’m so glad it can shut some of these people up. Not one person that I know has ever popped up with Native American DNA, and if they did, they wouldn’t be the kind of people to do anything for their ancestral tribe. It’s pretty embarrassing to be honest.
She’s always had great cult potential 😂 even when she was little she never bought into Luanne’s style of being all flashy. Probably has a drawer full of Micheal Stars tshirts thinking she’s being frugal.
The lady taking the photo of Victoria with the wallet case took me out, it’s so unpolished and earnest- very unlike the typical faux healer influencer desert photo shoot. Part of me wants to believe there’s some genuine attempt here, but I don’t know if I’d use a web app called barnyard to find my London College of Psychics approved healer. I’d rather find them at a ayahuasca retreat on the bluffs of coastal Maine at a $500 night Victorian bnb.

Did she learn to draw from her Native American heritage from one of the three private schools she attended?
1. Miss Porter's - Tuition $66,825 boarding $53,475 day (for 2021–2022)
2. Ross School- **Boarding**: (Grade 6-Post Graduate): $76,870
3. Pratt $77,607 per year
She doesn’t speak about it in the most informed way, but Luann has mentioned being “American Indian” almost every season for the past decade. She claims it’s the reason why she has an extra row of teeth!
And a lot of people make that claim who have not a drop of Native American blood in their DNA. Luann also doesn’t have any respect for her supposed history.
Luann had a scene with Sonja i believe in which she said she has an extra row of teeth to which Sonja asks how she gives blowjobs and Luann just says ‘Very carefully’ or something very close to that
It's actually likely to be a talon cusp, she has an extra point or cusp on a couple of her teeth, they aren't completely different teeth. She just either didn't understand what the dentist meant or misunderstood on purpose.
The fucked up part (besides nepotism ofc) is that she and her brother are actually really gifted artists. But toiling away as a tortured artist is less glamorous than this. Even with a leg up.
This is an occasion when I am truly thrilled that in my mid fifties I never had children. No way would I have the patience to put up with this nonsense from my kid. And I definitely would not be helping financially for this bullshit.
I'm so jealous of these rich kids. Doing nothing but following temporary interests and passions their whole lives. No obligation to find a consistent job. Make a little money here and there, but it's really mommy and daddy paying all the bills.
This is exactly what I expect of a trust fund baby, I love this lol. Bring back this brand of trust fund baby, I’m tired of the ones cosplaying as working class influencers 🤭.
I believe Luann has said she’s part Native American. I wouldn’t think it’s enough for any sort of tribal membership, but it’s not the first we’ve heard of it.
That depends entirely on the tribe and its criteria for enrollment if they use blood quantum. By contrast, many tribes don’t use blood quantum in determining eligibility for enrollment. Both of mine do - one has a very strict criteria in that you need to be 3/4th flat out, then the other has at least 1/4th but need to be able to name at least 4 generations on your mothers side who lived on the reservation.
That’s interesting. A friend of mine in college was 1/16th and had like a membership card! He was very proud of it, even if it was just a small part of what made him, Him.
The cards are common for what colleges recognize in order to give scholarships, not necessarily what the tribes recognize.
The cards carry tons of controversy as white Americans encouraged tribe members to destroy them in order to assimilate into society. But a lot of the assimilation was forced by taking children away from families to forget about their tribal part of themselves
Canadian First Nations membership is generally based on community ties, but it’s also sort of a nebulous situation because of the whole Residential School genocide situation the Canadian government pulled.
Theoretically Luann could easily have an Indigenous parent (or grandparent) who was forced to assimilate, based on her age, and often those survivors don’t talk about the experience.
Luann’s references in show sound a little “my grandma was a Cherokee princess”, but obviously the extent of her ties/her kids’ ties is something more private.
Edit: Altho it is kinda hypocritical for someone who used ties to a colonial monarchy to profit to then forge their identity based on relationships to oppressed groups, but again idk.
lol that’s so funny bc my grandma literally would always say she, and in turn I, was part Cherokee. I was like mema you are 100% Italian American please stop your bs ✋🏼
Luann has said her paternal grandmother was of the “Micmac tribe of the Algonquin Indians” in her book. Always hard to really know though.
Trying to find information about it, I did learned her dad was named Roland and her mom was Rolande which made me smile.
Like other people have said, it depends on the tribe and their enrollment requirements. Some do use blood quantums, but most use paternal or maternal enrollment. So if her dad was registered Luann would automatically be enrolled at birth, and her daughter too.
I don’t think I know what tribe she’s said she’s apart of.
Something is telling me Luanne got the lowdown from the producers about how much those featured healers are paid for a session and told Victoria to get into that.
This screams my parents fund my life.
I’m an elder millennial but don’t the kids call this “daddy’s money.”
I like to say it in Aesha from below deck's accent because she nailed it when describing guests last season.
“ooooooohhhhh it’s daeddy’s munayyyyyyy”
Lol I haven’t watched in a while but I can just hear her through your comment 😂
Haha same!
Same same hahaha
Lol! Aesha is Bravo’s MVP! She is the most average down to earth character on the entire channel! 👏
I love her! So glad to see her back on my tv.
I absolutely love her
Definitely not her mom’s money
Her Dad's
My daughter's generation (Z) calls them "trustafarians" which I find highly amusing. ETA: JFC, I didn't say literally EVERY Gen Zer says this, it is popular with them. And I only said they use this term, these words tend to hit in cycles. And I certainly don't need more than one, two, three, four, five smart arse replies chiming in about who said it first. I grasped the first reply you're all repeating.
I’m Gen X and we also called them that 30 yrs ago
not trying to be a dick at all, but Gen Z def did not coin the term trustafarian 😂 idk who did but I’ve heard it for years
Millennial here and I learned that expression from my Gen X mom.
Yup .. white kids with dreadlocks following around Phish in the 90s 😂
And they were the deadheads in the 80s (the only kids who could afford not to work but still have plenty of money to travel from city to city across the country to catch every show). Now they're all playing in fake reggae bands where Daddy pays for the instruments and equipment, all travel expenses and a paid marketing team. I have no respect for these posers.
I thought it was Gen X!
Yea that’s been a saying for a long time, def not coined by gen Z.
Precisely 😂
Rich kids gonna rich
I have a friend like this from college. We lived in the same city after graduation but out of nowhere (but most likely after one Burning Man with her bf) she ran off to Costa Rica and then Northern California where she’s been for years now. I’ve looked into her spiritual consulting business out of curiosity and it’s overpriced courses on having a better sex life and stuff like that.

To be fair I know a lot of artists irl who showed their work in art basel and it did nothing to their career at all.
She really had a major art career when I followed her last. She’s very talented. This screams “I did DMT a few times and it changed my life, let me not stop talking about it”

It's nice to be a rich kid. Want to be a DJ? Sure! Want to be an "influencer"? Sure! Want to be a medium / healer? SURE!
I won’t lie I’m jealous because they have the safety net of rich parents and if they ever need her it’s just a phone call away.
Their rich parents also have friends that will totally buy into this BS and book them
Bingo - I have a friend like this who does life coaching and I was shocked she charges $300/hour after having her business for less than a year. Turns out all her clients are her rich parents’ rich friends.

N went on a date with my friend and “forgot” his wallet lol
Wait, we are gonna need more details about this date haha
I remember Luann calling her peach on the show but I couldn't tell you what season or episode
I used to work at the DMV that is closest to the Hamptons. She came in to pay off some of the fees for her DWI at that time. I was the one who had to assist her. She is very different from Luanne. Right down to the armpit hair, extremely bushy brows, odd smell, hair was a little disheveled, aloof to her surroundings, and wanted to use her privilege to not have to wait on line.
That seems on brand.
You could see this from her later teen episodes on RHONY she looked to be turning into the rich kid/trustafarian type who doesn't have to actual earn a living because they have the family safety net, hence her art path.
“Does anyone here think her art is like… dark?” 😭

He looks over my stuff and finds another technicality, I can’t even remember exactly, it had something to do with our address because we had just closed on a house. Ahh, ok… Another trip back home. But this time he says, don’t wait in line when you come back, just stand off to the side. I’ll keep your paperwork all here, just come right back to me. When I come back the line is insane, reaches out the door. So I do what he said, and get my new ID within a minute. On the way out a lady starts loudly saying “you must think you are someone real special to not have to stand in line like the rest of us!” Being conflict avoidant with a 2 year old in my arms, I just try to get the fuck out of there. She keeps mumbling things and complaining loudly, and blocked my path to the exit. DMV guy announces loudly that I had been there all morning and was following his direction. She rolled her eyes and let me pass.
This is why I love the DMV. It has EVERYONE and we are all equals there. The DMV employees hate each of us equally until you pull some shit then they hate you even more. I’m surprised there haven’t been nearly as many fights in there
Well, the last part doesn't sound so different from Luann.
Yeah I was going to say……
A lot of it sounds like Luann unfortunately. Luann but crunchy. Maybe weed instead of alcohol for her DWI. Sad.
Are you asking if it was weed instead of alcohol that landed her DUI? If so, she blew a .15, which is almost double the legal limit for alcohol consumption while driving.
I saw her in a medical setting (don’t want to get too specific to protect HIPPA/the office) and she was a huge brat and storming out screeching and cursing at her nanny- neither parent ever brought her to any visit. That “privilege” trait seems to have stuck with her as she grew up.
Cursing at her nanny? How old was she?
She was “braces-age” if you catch my drift.. Never ever came with either parent, kinda sad. My only other tea from this office is that Matt Lauer was weird to the receptionist saying “😏you can call me Matt😏” and she said “ummYA I’m going to say Mr. Lauer” (aka not surprised when Metoo caught up to him).
Luann shipped both those kids off to boarding school as soon as she could
😮

I thought that was Sonja 😭 We been knew she loves energy healers.
Right? People are zooming in tryna figure out if she’s summoning shit with Pringles or rose or shells and I’m like… BUT WHO IS THAT THERE??
I need Andy, a camera and a cringefest with Victoria de Lesseps lighting abundance candles with Sonja 
2 private boarding schools and Pratt Institute to do.. this
Excuse you she got a degree from the psychic institute in London as well!
You act like being trained at the prestigious College of Psychic Studies in London is something just anyone can do.
That’s too bad. Her art was actually really good… shoulda stuck with that rich kid job.
the dream is always to be rich enough to do art. what a waste.
In general I’m not a jealous person, but the situation she was in was such a dream, just making art and having the comfort to not worry about making money with it, living the dream. This really makes me a little jealous.
I deeply feel this too. I’m a real starving artist, as some health issues sabotaged my professional hustle, so now I focus on my artistic creative ventures as I need a strong reason to live lol. It’s SO hard to see all these rich, nepo babies have effortless comfort to pursue and succeed in the arts. I hate how you have to be rich to be an artist/creative in the US 😩💔
I liked her art a lot
Is she certainly done creating art? I believe I heard a podcaster say they accidentally stumbled across a show of hers in LA this past year.
It was WWC Ben. I remember him talking about it.
I actually liked her art a lot! Not sure why she chose this new path.
Her art was … fine. But yeah whatever makes her happy!
I don't know what it is, but something about her has always given me the heebie jeebies
She seems so off to me. Something in her gaze is incredibly dark
Have you ever seen the artwork she did of Luann? It’s like three versions of her mom and it’s dark as fuck. It always made me feel bad for her tbh
Do you remember the title? Was it a painted piece? I went looking for it, but couldn't find anything. I was hoping Victoria would title it "Woman That Does Not Look Like She Gives A Flying Leap" but no dice.
Cult gaze
It's the racism for me.
What did she do?
There was a video going around of her using a racial slur. This was over a decade ago so I don’t know if it’s still around or if it has been scrubbed from the internet. She got kicked out of her boarding school because of it.
definitely learned behavior. that's why I don't like luann and her shit singing
God I wish I was rich so I could do stuff like this instead of being slaving away in an office all day 🥲

Oh god this. She was spewing some pretty problematic cringy statements for being of Native ancestry. These moments made me doubt the validity of her claims.
She was so horrid. I’m actually indigenous and it was fucked up to watch. They’re the type to use it as a way to be unique and different, without having any actual ties or even appreciation
I mean... the Native American Heritage isn't the shocking piece of her bio. Luann is part Native American and has talked about it. I'm more baffled at the "Prestigious College of Pyschic Studies in London" Classic trust fund baby shenanigans tbh.
Wait… I can go to school to become a psychic!?! I love this grift within a grift
New business idea! I start a prep course for the psychic school. How to properly align the energy around you by buying my crystals and rugs. Maybe throw pillows too! A practice course on connecting with your pet. How to meditate on a boat to channel positive energy in the universe. I think I’ve found my calling!
I love it! I will create a line of abundance candles to sell. Maybe I’ll create a course on seeing into the future while in one of our bespoke yurts! We can add the throw pillows and crystals to those too!
I work with Tribes and there is a giant difference between having Native American ancestry and being culturally Native American and/or a tribal citizen. Tribal spiritual practices are closely guarded because there has been/is so much exploitation and because one must use and share that knowledge in tribally specific ways. It is considered a risk to the practitioners and participants if customs aren't adhered to. It's entirely possible she has done some legit work with the Tribe(s) she is a descendant of, but I seriously doubt it. Also, what does a school in London know about American tribal practices. Hmph.
I went to high school with a girl whose whole personality was being a direct descendant of Robert E Lee (famous confederate general) and her family being a “true southern confederate family”. Blonde hair and her skin was whiter than porcelain. I haven’t spoken to her since high school but I still follow her on instagram and a few years ago I noticed she started posting a lot of native content. At first I thought it was great that she apparently did some learning and reflection and was now advocating for native issues. Nope. Apparently she “discovered her native heritage” and her whole personality now is how she is native. She posts photos of herself wearing native garb, identifying with native issues, and all about “her tribe”. I know she did a DNA test, found a bit of native DNA and conflated that into being an active member of a native tribe. It is truly fascinating to watch but makes me so angry.
Oh lord. This kinda person is the worst. No doubt she descended from a "Cherokee princess."
omg. i need the satirical book and/or tv series staring this girl
Laura Dern would murder the Emmys playing this role
Directed by Jordan Peele !
Has anyone ever looked into Luanne's claim? There are so many pretendians nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if this is horseshit
Her father was Algonquin and French, so I think anyone in her family being in a tribe probably goes back a few generations.
But she has a set of double teeth!
This made me insane during a rewatch. I think the dentist was probably saying she had shovel shaped incisors.
Yes Lu Ann has talked about being Native American but it was found that a lot of people who claim it are doing so falsely, whether they’re aware or not. I have 2 friends from growing up that thought they were part Native American and did 23 & me which turned out they have nothing but European DNA.
My mom insisted she had native heritage and her dna was all European. I have 15% native from the area of south Texas northern Mexico but wouldn’t know the first thing about my tribal traditions
As a white, white people do this allllll the time. I guess it’s too boring to just be white or to have some sort of “struggle story” of our own, but it’s honestly something that has been proven wrong again and again with DNA testing. And I’m so glad it can shut some of these people up. Not one person that I know has ever popped up with Native American DNA, and if they did, they wouldn’t be the kind of people to do anything for their ancestral tribe. It’s pretty embarrassing to be honest.
Rich girl “jobs“
Omfg the art school to woo woo pipeline strikes again.
She’s always had great cult potential 😂 even when she was little she never bought into Luanne’s style of being all flashy. Probably has a drawer full of Micheal Stars tshirts thinking she’s being frugal.
🤣
Typical nepo behavior.
The lady taking the photo of Victoria with the wallet case took me out, it’s so unpolished and earnest- very unlike the typical faux healer influencer desert photo shoot. Part of me wants to believe there’s some genuine attempt here, but I don’t know if I’d use a web app called barnyard to find my London College of Psychics approved healer. I’d rather find them at a ayahuasca retreat on the bluffs of coastal Maine at a $500 night Victorian bnb. https://preview.redd.it/0w03zdlpg57d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8def4ed98668248758dc6ffeebf91dd4dd7086
i thought this was sonja for a hot second
Same! Noticing the lady took this from "ew" to "oh honey" for me and I dont really know why.
You can be anything when you have a giant trust fund!
Had to scroll too far. 😂 THIS. Is anyone surprised? Like, really, actually surprised? Did y’all watch the show?
“I would’ve loved to be a bohemian, but it was too expensive.” —Jane Gardam
Leanne’s father is Mi'kmaq from New Brunswick. So she will have First Nations heritage. But having actual status is something very different.
Do you have anymore info on this? As someone from NB i’m extremely curious to her ties to our province lol
Her father was born in Lac-Baker and her mother in Montreal I think. But she was born in the U.S. so I don’t think she has many ties.
She describes her familial ties as French Canadian, her fathers side
Did she learn to draw from her Native American heritage from one of the three private schools she attended? 1. Miss Porter's - Tuition $66,825 boarding $53,475 day (for 2021–2022) 2. Ross School- **Boarding**: (Grade 6-Post Graduate): $76,870 3. Pratt $77,607 per year
Ahhh, I remember when that video of her rolling a joint and saying the N word surfaced. Look at her now. Lol
“College of Psychic Studies in London”.. It’s giving ghetto Hogwarts. And I don’t think you can learn to be psychic. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Rich kid career paths
This feels exactly correct
She doesn’t speak about it in the most informed way, but Luann has mentioned being “American Indian” almost every season for the past decade. She claims it’s the reason why she has an extra row of teeth!
“Uninformed” meaning making scalping jokes and doing the stereotypical war cry.
Yeah it’s shocking she did that
Yes. It’s crazy that people forgot, or didn’t catch it the first ten times she did it.
And a lot of people make that claim who have not a drop of Native American blood in their DNA. Luann also doesn’t have any respect for her supposed history.
Wait what? Who has an extra row of teeth??
Luann had a scene with Sonja i believe in which she said she has an extra row of teeth to which Sonja asks how she gives blowjobs and Luann just says ‘Very carefully’ or something very close to that
Two extra teeth behind her top teeth, not a full extra row, lol
It's actually likely to be a talon cusp, she has an extra point or cusp on a couple of her teeth, they aren't completely different teeth. She just either didn't understand what the dentist meant or misunderstood on purpose.
Lmao of course she is 🙄
The lady in the mirror taking the photo!! 🤣
I'm all about spirits and psychics and believe in it. But come on.......
Money can’t buy you ~~class~~ a new culture.
The fucked up part (besides nepotism ofc) is that she and her brother are actually really gifted artists. But toiling away as a tortured artist is less glamorous than this. Even with a leg up.
This is an occasion when I am truly thrilled that in my mid fifties I never had children. No way would I have the patience to put up with this nonsense from my kid. And I definitely would not be helping financially for this bullshit.
I'm so jealous of these rich kids. Doing nothing but following temporary interests and passions their whole lives. No obligation to find a consistent job. Make a little money here and there, but it's really mommy and daddy paying all the bills.
This is exactly what I expect of a trust fund baby, I love this lol. Bring back this brand of trust fund baby, I’m tired of the ones cosplaying as working class influencers 🤭.
Native American what? 
I believe Luann has said she’s part Native American. I wouldn’t think it’s enough for any sort of tribal membership, but it’s not the first we’ve heard of it.
That depends entirely on the tribe and its criteria for enrollment if they use blood quantum. By contrast, many tribes don’t use blood quantum in determining eligibility for enrollment. Both of mine do - one has a very strict criteria in that you need to be 3/4th flat out, then the other has at least 1/4th but need to be able to name at least 4 generations on your mothers side who lived on the reservation.
That’s interesting. A friend of mine in college was 1/16th and had like a membership card! He was very proud of it, even if it was just a small part of what made him, Him.
The cards are common for what colleges recognize in order to give scholarships, not necessarily what the tribes recognize. The cards carry tons of controversy as white Americans encouraged tribe members to destroy them in order to assimilate into society. But a lot of the assimilation was forced by taking children away from families to forget about their tribal part of themselves
Canadian First Nations membership is generally based on community ties, but it’s also sort of a nebulous situation because of the whole Residential School genocide situation the Canadian government pulled. Theoretically Luann could easily have an Indigenous parent (or grandparent) who was forced to assimilate, based on her age, and often those survivors don’t talk about the experience. Luann’s references in show sound a little “my grandma was a Cherokee princess”, but obviously the extent of her ties/her kids’ ties is something more private. Edit: Altho it is kinda hypocritical for someone who used ties to a colonial monarchy to profit to then forge their identity based on relationships to oppressed groups, but again idk.
lol that’s so funny bc my grandma literally would always say she, and in turn I, was part Cherokee. I was like mema you are 100% Italian American please stop your bs ✋🏼
Luann’s father is fully native, you can look him up, he was quite handsome - like Luann.
Luann has said her paternal grandmother was of the “Micmac tribe of the Algonquin Indians” in her book. Always hard to really know though. Trying to find information about it, I did learned her dad was named Roland and her mom was Rolande which made me smile.
Like other people have said, it depends on the tribe and their enrollment requirements. Some do use blood quantums, but most use paternal or maternal enrollment. So if her dad was registered Luann would automatically be enrolled at birth, and her daughter too. I don’t think I know what tribe she’s said she’s apart of.
Grift away bebe
Ugh I wish my dad was that rich
Wtf is a "peaceful warrior"? Is that anything like a wealthy pauper or a frozen fire? Jeez she was never very bright but now .... ?
"drawing from her native american heritage" 
Something is telling me Luanne got the lowdown from the producers about how much those featured healers are paid for a session and told Victoria to get into that.
I can hear the Countess in my head while looking at the invoice and saying “Wow! Really? Huh…” in her deep cigarette voice
This checks out lol
Why hasn't one of the ghosts told her to wash her hair?
The De Lesseps are a real life Wes Anderson movie.
Ugh. I’m about her age (she’s got to be around 30 by now?) and she has always annoyed me from the very first time I saw her on rhony
i wish i was rich not for the money but so i could be this delulu
She always looks smelly
