‘Real Housewives’ Star Luann de Lesseps Apologizes to Jennifer Lopez After Saying She’s ‘From the Hood’ Instead of ‘The Block’: ‘I Couldn’t Think!’
Luann says she’s embarrassed by the mistake and hopes “J.Lo is not upset with me, because I love her.”
Former "Real Housewives of New York City" star Luann de Lesseps recently apologized to Jennifer Lopez after mistakenly referring to the pop superstar as "from the 'hood'" instead of "Jenny From the Block." During an episode of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, Luann, in a confessional following a discussion about being called "Countess" or "Lu," said, "I’m really just Lu from Connecticut. … Like J.Lo is from … the 'hood?"
A producer corrected her, asking, "Um, 'From the Block'?" Luann responded, "Oh, sorry!" In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Luann admitted that she had forgotten the correct lyrics to Jennifer Lopez's 2002 hit "Jenny From the Block." She explained, "I couldn’t think! Because, let me tell you, I lived for many years in Europe during the ’90s and 2000s."
Despite the slip-up, Luann expressed her admiration for Lopez and hoped she wasn't upset by the mistake.
