Britney’s Bestseller With Countess Luann

Well, first things first: I read Britney Spears’ new book...SO juicy! I give you my take on all the madness covered in it.
Then, original RHONY cast member Countess Luann is in the studio to give us all the juice behind some of her most infamous housewife moments! We talk BravoCon and how the franchise has changed over the years. Travis will join Taylor on the Europe leg of the Eras Tour. Mauricio and his DWTS partner were caught holding hands…is Kyle jealous? Meryl Streep files for divorce. We discuss open marriages, why they work in Europe, and how they go wrong in Hollywood. Enjoy!

Can Luann come on every other week? She’s SO classy, witty, beautiful, and insightful! She’s also really wise and some of what she spoke about in this episode about rising and having faith herself really resounded with me. ❤❤❤

The Ramona impression is always spot on 🤣🤣

[@roxanemontegna9867]

Heather's a talent❤

[@almostfiction]

I love that Heather got the Countess on! What an unexpected surprise

[@molly4539]

Bought the book yesterday and already almost finished. This is a great episode but I encourage everyone to GO BUY THE BOOK and support Britney!

[@007nadineL]

Why? $30 million too much already for one person . .

[@drewskkiiii]

Yes go buy it and support her!!!

[@tringe22]

Support what? Her twirling further into mental illness why everyone just ignores it?? The girl is unwell. And needs serious HELP.

[@all_that_glitters13131]

Yeah she needs the money 💰 😂

[@Zevanno2021]

Book of lies 🟥

Your holiday wish for Britney was so touching! 🥺 And your playing along with Lu’s denial of Dorinda’s facelift is commendable.

[@officialstace2634]

Hahaha

[@JB-Hae]

yes. Def a face lift.

[@cindee184]

Luann never disappoints! I truly believe that what we see IS who she really is, unlike the majority of these reality stars who desperately over-produce themselves. Not to mention, she looks freaking fantastic without falling victim to the need for huge teeth, lips, butt, etc.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Well Luanne has good taste. She’s more sophisticated and well polished than the majority of reality tv stars. The big blown up lips and the huge fake asses are really trashy looking and Trailor trash. It’s a cheap lock. It’s Walmart and Luanne is more Saks 5th Avenue.

[@patriciafaraci5014]

I totally agree with you.

[@mnca0428]

I like her, too. But gosh, she always says ‘excetera’ or ‘eccetera’ 🤦🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ IT’S etcetera! She is not as highly educated or sophisticated as she believes to be…. and how come no body points it out to her?

[@pchaparala]

she’s so much fun, def my fave housewife

[@Itsgrantsrants]

Heather, thank you for fairly covering Britney’s book. The audiobook is fantastic. Highly recommend. May she find peace.

[@helsbels991]

Poor Britney, I just want her to be happy and well. Thanks for clarifying the stories from the book against how the media have portrayed them. Love from UK ❤

[@KJBigBelter]

No woman has been more abused and exploited by media and others than Britney. I'm not even a fan but its so clear that her "personal life" was the origin of click bait. She has every right to scorch the earth, if she chooses but I hope she's healing, with this literary RELEASE!

[@BridgetJonesDiary]

NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED FOR AN EPISODE! Woke up receiving bad health news about my mother and then I saw this upload and it brought a smile to my face. Thank you for brightening peoples lives. ❤

Imagine having an extra ticket and going to see Adele in Vegas with Countess Luann! The Juicy Scoop gays need to make this happen and report back to the show! 💃🤣

I think Dorinda had a lower face lift and she looks amazing. I also believe Luanne is covering for her. A girl's girl! I love Luanne and Dorinda!

[@HH-gv8mx]

Agreed

[@adriana27100]

I’m pretty sure I saw her lower facelift being discussed by a plastic surgeon I follow… I follow really honest surgeons so I believe it!

[@judymurray191]

Fun fact…I’m a hairdresser and it is common knowledge amongst hairdresser the women that have face lifts always (if they want to fool people)change their hairstyle drastically so people just think it is a more flattering haircut. Lol

[@adriana27100]

@@judymurray191 Yessss! This is always a dead give away when that happens too 😋😋

[@DJQTUBE]

Two of my favorite people in the world just having a nice chat. Loved it! Have a great weekend, Heather!

[@marytruckell7086]

Britney Spears has been used by her parents and many of her partners ..it's not surprising that she has mental health issues... she' looking for unconditional love.. hopefully this book is helping her heal..she must be a strong woman to deal with all these issues..l wish her well and can connect with her children and they get to know their mother loves them.

[@rose_quartz_loveandlight]

ICONIC episode ❤ So glad you reviewed Britneys book, my heart just breaks for her she deserves the world and I hope she gets justice and total freedom back eventually, the court cases next year will be interesting ❤

[@HH-gv8mx]

What court cases are going to be held next year? For what?

[@rubyjeanne1667]

OMG....STOP USING THAT WORD. NOTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS "ICONIC". I SWEAR, THAT WORD HAS ZERO MEANING ANYMORE WITH EVERYONE CALLING EVERY DAMN THING ICONIC. THIS WAS A DECENT INTERVIEW AND BOOK REVIEW. NOTHING MORE. AAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH.........

This was so good! Glad she can be a trooper about the new cast, she’s a G

[@drewskkiiii]

Thank you for supporting Britney. I will never stop loving that woman

[@stephrod80]

I honestly feel for Brittany. I couldn't imagine. It's almost like no one has ever truly loved her. Everyone in her life seems to have just used her, especially her family. I pray she finds happiness and some sense of normalcy in her life.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Is Britney in touch with any of her family members to this day? Does she have any close girlfriends? Does she have any friends at all?

[@susan5978]

another great episode, I love your conversations! pretty top/earrings vibe very sophisticated but fun

[@methadonetea3250]

Getting up this early has one perk, I'm early to new juicy scoop episodes 💯

[@elizabethcorsini5499]

Wow, what a great show. LuAnn is such a great interview, and I love her PMA. Very enjoyable!

[@debkosteniuk5326]

Loved your take on Britney Spear's book, now I gotta buy and read it. Countess Luann is my favourite housewife, period. Loved seeing her. As for Kyle Richards, I could care less about her marital issues, her potential lesbian relationship - she is so fake and manipulative, I kept hoping they would get rid of her. I probably will watch ROBH less but still catch up on it through you because you do such a fun and entertaining job of all things Housewives.

[@christimorris387]

Wow, its really nice to hear a Juicy Scoop opinion on Britney that inst making fun of her and calling out her mental health. Not sure others who went thru what Britney did would still be alive today. Putting yourself in someone else's really helps with being empathetic....long overdue, but very happy to see a narrative that is isnt just crazy

[@nicoleleckner7902]

Pretty sad people like Heather propelled that narrative every chance she got..

[@leemadris9097]

I never watch the any of the Housewives franchise! They became so violent and absolutely CLASSLESS! I haven't watched in years. It actually makes me sad that so many women are willing to hurt each other and hurt each others families. Sad state of affairs that people are willing to go to such dark places to be famous for 15 minutes

[@meredithboudreaux7272]

the mauricio photos were BACKGRID. they called the paps on themselves

[@queenbmary1]

Great review of the book and as a conservator of a child I'm glad Britney took her life back and is living her best life. Love Luann! She looks fab!

[@rubyjeanne1667]

WTF....BRITNEY IS NOT LIVING HER BEST LIFE. SHE IS DANCING WITHOUT CLOTHES ON FOR THE INTERNET. SHE LOOKS DERRANGED AND SICK. SHE NEEDS HELP AND NOT FROM PEOPLE SAYING SLAY GIRL. FK. SHE IS A MESS AND HAS SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUES THAT ARE BEING IGNORED.

Brittany was the MEAL TICKET for all the hangers on ppl. JUST like what happened to ELVIS. Sad & Pathetic---I hope & pray she gets her own life back whether she has a singing career or not.

[@gypsy1rose417]

I thought the ghostwriter did a fabulous job with writing this book in such a way that it was absolutely Britney's voice you heard. You could see her sitting across from you narrating her story.

[@Norkaisa1]

Most celebrity and public figures do use ghost writers.

[@toniannsandford2715]

Excited for this episode!!

[@amandaloveydove]

Back to back great shows ! First the Steve interview and now this one 🎉

[@tringe22]

Dr Drew said in an interview that he knew things - that if others knew - would explain that Britneys family were NOT the bad guys in getting conservatorship... (I took that as they had good reason for putting her into one-and we will never know the facts behind it or the full truth) I will say... her videos she puts out today show a very very disturbed and unwell person. Its so sad to see.

[@LauraHernandezArt]

Is Britney Spears the Judy Garland of our time?

[@BlackCatBonkers]

Judy Garland was a great talent. Britney is not.

[@judymurray191]

Good comparison.

[@roxanemontegna9867]

Apples and oranges. Two completely different talents of two different Generations. Britney was a very multitalented girl who was thrown into the business to financially provide for her entire family just like Judy Garland. It messed both of them up. Britney needs compassion not more bashing. Actually, Our World needs more compassion right now. It's a crucial time right now❤Peace

[@kristitaylor2335]

Ty for being real. Britney has been through hell with no full enjoyment. I hope and pray she lives a long happy life and have a healthy relationships with her babies soon.

[@adriana27100]

Loved this episode Heather! It’s crazy I just watched a documentary on cheating in China and Japan interviewing women and it’s pretty common they cheat there. A lot of the women were laughing and encouraging their female friends to cheat too… really wild how in different cultures it’s the norm

[@leahb1233]

What everyone is ignoring is Britney is on drugs and needs help. I’ve seen many people on drugs in my life and she has the dark/lifeless look in her eyes. It’s a tell-tale sign. If it was solely mental health, don’t you think her sons would still try to have a relationship with her? For them to completely cut her out, that tells me its drugs. They’ve likely implemented boundaries and told her they won’t see her until she gets help. A judge wouldn’t have granted a conservatorship unless it was warranted. Britney is free, great-- but it may come at the cost of her life.

[@c.t.4837]

I always saw her head shaving as a self sabotage, her thinking maybe they will leave her alone if she makes herself look ugly, but then it got worse😢

[@pcoop830]

For anyone going to bravocon, beware of the chaos in Las Vegas with the formula 1 race setup. Lots of road closings, bleacher setups, strip closed in multiple spots and airport traffic.

i have some JUICE! nothing major but my friend is a manager at the restaurant in the hotel of her residency...Britney would call in lunch / dinner all the time. They had very strict rules to follow but also...they are human. Once Britney called in a salad and asked for fries on the side. quickly after her dad called back and BERATED the staff asking how dare they add fries and she doesnt need all that....

[@judymurray191]

I have a lot of empathy for Britney! Her parents had a conflict of interest that caused them to push her too hard. On the other side of the coin I would be alarmed if my child was making really bad choices (which mine did, btw)and I would want to protect them from themselves when the consequences would really affect their future happiness. My intent was pure but maybe hers weren’t.

[@paulbarr1923]

They didn't want to change her show when she requested because that showed her authority and creativity. Jamie Spears, Lou & company couldn't stand for that because that in itself proved she was a capable artist/person. Any sense of control or agency she had had to be stripped from her to keep the conservatorship going. Absolutely horrible what Britney went through.

[@JuicyScoop]

Great point

[@tracyOnIPad]

I think initially the conservatorship may have started with good intentions, but then it evolved into control, power and money grab.

[@idagreenfield5537]

I purchased Britney’s audio book and plan to listen when I go on a car trip in November.

[@cccarreno9945]

She did talk about Sam but didn’t mention him by name. She just called him a paparazzi.

[@eefromphx7777]

Kristen, Heather and Carole were the ones saying Ramona was ignoring us on Season 7-Turks and Caicos, not Bethenny. Bethenny left the morning of, not the night before, 2 days early because her daughter had a music recital that everyone knew about. Ramona leaves early to everything too-way more than everyone on cast, not just Bethenny. Bethenny can be annoying -yes, but just trying to keep the stories straight. It wasn't an accurate account. Love your show! Very entertaining ❤❤❤❤

Supportive ? All she has done is call Britney crazy and have guests on like Dr.Drew to push that narrative. What an f ING joke

[@claytonheals]

@@nicoleleckner7902 So I'm speaking in terms of the video posted right now. She is a comedian! Lighten up a bit as Heather has even blocked my gay one legged ass on instagram perhaps due to being drunk and annoying or weird but still. The point is no she wasn't supportive for a long time but she wasn't super mean. She is being supportive on this video and I want to reward that with love. Also Dr Drew is so annoying and needs some party drugs

[@TheAllyathome]

@@claytonheals I think since reading the book, I know this is true for myself, Heather can see Brittany’s instagram performing in a different way. It doesn’t look as ‘crazy’ after reading her story. I’m guessing her narrative will change too. Brittany has such insight into her journey already and can talk of the horror she went through yet still show grace and humility. Just unbelievable character. She is finally free and boundary less and that is what we are seeing on IG. Like heather said, we all now just want her to have a sense of security, love and family which is all she has even wanted to asked for. 💔 Someone made the point that Brittany is filming IG stories without professional lighting, make up hair etc which also helped to push the ‘crazy’ narrative. Which is true too, if it was all done professionally and then edited etc no one would bat an eyelid A lesson for all of us pop culture fans really 🙁
