LuAnn De Lesseps from, The Real Housewives of New York City, is separated from her husband, Count Alexandre de Lesseps. They are separated because the Count is swirling with a much younger Ethiopian descendant of royalty:

The mysterious Ethiopian woman identified as the cause for the divorce between the reality star LuAnn from The Real Houswives of New York and her husband Count Alexandre de Lesseps has been identified as Princess Kemeria Abajobir Abajifar. She is the granddaughter of King Abajifar, the last King from the Gibe Kingdom of Jimmaa, located in current day Ethiopia.

An inside source close to the Count, wishing to remain anonymous, confirmed the details in an email correspondence. The Ethiopian princess, and granddaughter of the King, is the niece of Ababiya Abajobir, another prominent man in the Oromo-Ethiopian community. He was one of the founding members of the OLF (Oromo Liberation Front), a guerrilla organization representing the majority Oromo ethnic group of Ethiopia, and served in various positions in the organization throughout its 35 year history. The source told EthioPlanet that it was the wish of both the Princess and Count Alexandre de Lesseps that she no longer be identified as “‘the Ethiopian woman’ but with her real identity.”

We here at Bossip heard about this a while ago, but now the Ethiopian papers as well as the estranged Ethiopian woman have put everything on front street. We know the old fart is paid, but, damn.

Wow, LuAnn was replaced by a real princess. . .

First!

Am I the only person that thinks the term “swirl” is a tad offensive?

Brownin

4/11/09, 10:55:am

Guess that knocks the “Countess” down a peg or 2.

theinsider

4/11/09, 10:56:am

Maybe not… Damn you SYDNEY! LOL

whatever

4/11/09, 10:57:am

*hands the First crown to theinsider*

It’s all yours! lol

OK, LuAnn must be really crushed. She carried that ‘Countess’ title like a badge of honor.

theinsider

4/11/09, 11:08:am

OH! EEEWWWW!!! So I just read somehwere that when LuAnne found out and tried to confront him, this douche bag didn’t pick up her calls BUT he sent her an email telling him that was indeed seeing some one in Ethiopia…. WTF??

As for the Ethiopian Princess… it’s sad that even princesses these days are happy being the other woman. Child don’t you know that she will be his 4th EX-Wife… What makes you so sure that if he doesn’t die of old age, you’ll be number 5?

It’s more than a tad offensive. It never fails every generation fu^ks up the last generation’s usage of a slang word. This change is the pits.

i guess “Countess” have her problems too…I knew something was wrong when dude didnt even show up at his own daughter’s event.

“Princesses” are ten-a-penny in Africa. It’s like the big man on your block saying he is King and making you bow to his daughters and “wife”.

@bronzeasian

I was thinking the same thing. In fact didn’t she say to Kelly after she hung up from her husband “the lucky b@tch!” It was clear was he engaged with someone else when Luanne finally caught up with him. I think a Princess trumps a Countness!

Shar is right… technically I’m a “princess” in Nigeria. In your respetive village it means more, like a hometown hero I guess. But if someone asks “are you a Princess?” after hearing something, and I answer “well, technically, yeah” they flip *****. NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL.

The real funny part is that in Washington DC right now brothers are complaining that they can’t even get Ethiopian girls because they hate on ‘em tough. Chocolate City has the largest concentration of Ethiopians outside of Ethiopia. Brothers fare a little better in L.A. but peep how their lineage game is on lock.

___________________________________________________
This is one of the most IGNORANT STATEMENTS that I have READ on the bossip site.

IT also SHOWS the DEGREE to which black people have been BRAINWASHED by the WHITE FOLKS.

AFRICAN ROYALTY has a LONG RECORDED HISTORY and is very RICH and DIVERSE in the different countries that make up the CONTINENT.

The BIG MAN on the block cannot be a KING unless it is in his LINEAGE.

ITS such a SHAME that their are black people that don’t know anything about AFRICAN HISTORY

I guess that one of the AIMS of the MORDERN DAY MEDIA is to keep on REINFORCING strange AFRICAN MYTHS and to PLAY DOWN the contribution of AFRICAN ART,CULTURE and HISTORY to the SOCIETIES in general.

This helps to PROPAGATE IGNORANCE and leaves a lot of people BRAINWASHED without any KNOWLEDGE of the HERITAGE of their ANCESTORS.

This is JUST A PLOY to KEEP you SERVANTILE and feeling INFERIOR.

me (the original) Ms_NYC and RichardBibs GTFO!!! And no one gives a damn about millionaires club/chat/romance.com!!!

4/11/09, 13:10:pm

Agree with 11:11. Grow a sack, leave and then do it. At the very least, be SEPARATED before seeing someone else.

And if the “Princess” knew she was messing with a MARRIED man, BOOOOOO to her, nasty skank.

IF your FATHER is A KING in one of these TOWNS then you are INDEED a PRINCESS.

4/11/09, 13:56:pm

Ethiopians are some of the most attractive looking people to me and sorry but nearly every native African I know says they’re a Princess or Prince or royalty. i guess cause kings have hella wives that have hella kids?

You sound very stupid right now..Igbos are from Nigeria. Obama is from Kenya so how can he be Igbo? Black Americans i tell ya. smh

bb

4/11/09, 14:22:pm

@What the…
Believe me NOT EVERY NATIVE AFRICAN is A PRINCESS or PRINCE .

Some AFRICANS say that TO DECEIVE FOREIGNERS simply because they KNOW that they will not be ABLE to tell that they are LYING.

There are KINGS with a number of wives and children
and their are some with just one wife but in a country like Nigeria not every region has multiple KINGS.

Those that are ACTUALLY TRUE PRINCES AND PRINCESSES KNOW THEMSELVES.

Obama’s Family is from KENYA.I am not aware of any IGBO people in KENYA

This is typically how they roll in Europe. Men stay married for a while until they run across another woman that strikes their fancy. Sometimes, they divorce the current wife and move on to the next one OR other times they keep their current marriage and just take on mistresses. When former French President Mitterand p*****ed away, his mistress and out-of-wedlock- child sat at the front with his wife and other kids. It doesn’t make it right, but those folks over in Europe don’t even blink an eye about stuff like this. I’m sure LuAnn won’t have to worry about being comfortable due to the duration of their marriage and their two kids. Tough for her, but that’s life.

Every one in Africa is a “son” or “daughter of a king or chief. When they say African Royalty that relates to LOT of people in any African country.

I was over visting a few African countries last June and it was ridiculous the “king/queen” issue.

As to this old fart, he got some taste of the black juice, “he aint neva going home”

4/11/09, 20:04:pm

to cece the idiot:

no, what it proves is that when it comes down to it, a black woman no matter what her stature or background, will always drop on her knees and swallow nut for any and every white boy who unzips his pants…funny how when there is a story about a white chick and a black dude it’s always “brothas always chasin white women” but when it is one of the multitude of black women swallowing white *****, it somehow has nothing to do with black women slavishly wanting white men…monkey w*****, hope her entire family line dies of aids or gets offed in an al shahab suicide attack

@bb
Why is it that black folks can’t be ignorant about African History, without also being “BRAINWASHED by the WHITE FOLKS”? Clearly you know a little something about african history, and that’s great. Congrats to you, you chose to concentrate your obsessive compulsion on something that has little to no value in this country, and is probably NOT paying your pockets. But you also clearly need to knock that chip off your shoulder and move into this century, Bra. Some of us realize that learning to be a good person, gaining useful skills and knowledge, and getting over our past might be beneficial to our lives and our children. We don’t need to know every little idosyncratic thing about our lineage and a country/continent that we will never go to.

Lol I wonder what Bethanny had to say when she 1st heard of this *****. That manly looking ***** always trying to “school” Bethanny on the ways of getting a man & she couldn’t even keep hers!!!

Wealthy white men are a HELL OF ALOT SMARTER than an average black man I tell ya that much!!

@DaB*tch

YOUR comments have just EXPOSED the IGNORANCE that I was referring too

I am an AFRICAN and you would have been able to pick this up in my comments if you were ASCUTE enough.

WELL I am not that SURPRISED.

FOR your INFORMATION there are other black people that occasionally visit bossip

The BRAINWASHING of the WHITE FOLKS is constantly REFLECTED on this site by the Various COMMENTS and *****UMPTIONS that are made BASED on what is SHOWN in the MEDIA

It is TRULY ASTOUNDING that in the 21st CENTURY that there are still people that THINK that everybody LIVES in a HUT ,LOOKS like AKON and are GOAT HERDERS.

I GLAD that you are a GOOD person that you are making some kind of CONTRIBUTION to society and I don’t EXPECT you to know anything about you LINEAGE after all you are an AMERICAN probably mixed with NATIVE INDIAN,CREOLE etc

BUT as an AFRICAN I know my LINEAGE and so WHEN I see STATEMENTS that are not COMPLETY TRUE I make an effort to correct and thereby EDUCATE simply because I know BETTER.

I am SURE that you would do the same thing if you saw some UNTRUTHS about the black American COMMUNITY

Y’all need to first realize that Ethiopian culture is VERY different from Nigerian or other West, Central and Southern African cultures.

Just because some of you have “princess” and “prince” labels based on being descended tribal/village heads, doesn’t mean thats how Ethiopians do it. There have only been a couple legitimate royal lines in the country. Since Ethiopia is an ancient empire with a long history, it’s really pretty stupid to dismiss this lady as having a title that comes a dime a dozen. It may be true in West Africa, but it sure as hell isn’t the case in Ethiopia. That’s the truth; if you don’t know, please educate yourself before you say anything as patently ignorant as what I’ve read from the comments thus far. This is what happens when people put blanket labels on the whole continent as if it’s a homogenous place.

Why is everyone suprised that there are royals in Africa, Africa is an ancient land with great history and culture from the powerful Ancient Egyptians to the Nubian Kings and Queens to Ancient Ethiopia and Axum to Kush. These people built the pyramids and the great valley of the Kings. Those Ancient Egyptians are modern day Sudanese Ethiopians and Somalians they are resiliant beautiful people who have great pride and tradition
