A Little Insensitive? Real Housewife Carole Radziwill Tweets About Hurricane Sandy: 'Love Eye Of Storms'
Oct. 30 2012, Published 9:30 a.m. ET
Nearly 30 people, and rising, have been declared dead. New York, New Jersey and other East Coast states are in a state of emergency after devastation has been wreaked. Millions are without power and more than 80 homes in Queens, New York burned to the ground at the hands of Superstorm Sandy.
But as of early Tuesday afternoon Carole Radziwill of The Real Housewives Of New York City had not removed her controversial and insensitive tweet about the natural disaster.
Late on Monday night, as millions braced themselves for floods and possible evacuation, she tweeted: "Maybe I’m strange but can’t think of another place I’d rather be 2nite than NYC. Flood of 2012. Love eye of storms. History. #stormsandy."
Radziwill’s tweet is in complete contrast to her castmates, most of whom posted in the immediate aftermath, concerned that New Yorkers were safe and sound.
Heather Thomson was especially vocal despite having a predictive text mishap. On Tuesday morning she wrote : "Lots of heros sic out there line men and first responders heroic rescues as traffic result of Sandy :("
Thomson later pointed out that she meant to say "tragic result."
On Monday night Ramona Singer tweeted: "Omg over 14,000 without power in NY already. Time to get those candles, games and books out!"
LuAnn de Lesseps told her Twitter followers: "Hope everyone is safe. We made it through with power down but no damage.
"Others weren’t so lucky. Sending love and good thoughts xo."
Meanwhile, across the state line The Real Housewives Of New Jersey were also tweeting about Sandy.
Kathy Wakile told her followers on Tuesday that her husband Richard and her sister Rosie were "together looking for generators."
She added: "Why does my mind think of #MadMax. Who knows what they’ll come home with!!"
Among her series of re-tweets with news updates about Sandy, Caroline Manzo wrote: "The path of destruction #sandy left is mind boggling – no words, so sad."
In contrast, her former friend Teresa Giudice noted that she had to skip the gym and a promotional appearance in New Jersey.
