Bravo Special Details Luann de Lesseps’ Life Pre-Real Housewives of New York

Almost everyone knows countess Luann de Lesseps from Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York, but what about her life before the show? Before They Were Housewives — airing Wednesday, June 22 — gives us a glimpse back into Luann’s life when the cameras were not rolling and she was not busying herself with other women’s drama (gasp, is this possible?!).

Luann shares that she led a “lifetime of lives” before the Real Housewives, from co-hosting one of the biggest shows in Italian television to adventures with the many great men in her life. It is hard to imagine her life without the countess title — mostly because she tries not to let viewers forget it — but this Bravo special might just show us why Luann is so, well… Luann.

Before They Were Housewives premieres on Bravo at 10pm ET/PT.
