First of all, thanks to all of you who sent me various links to this news yesterday instead of posting about it in random comments. Whenever stories are published about someone leaving a housewives show, headlines are posted about someone quitting or being fired. Rarely or either of those statements true. So when you asked me if Dorinda really quit RHONY, or if Dorinda really got fired, I have no idea. What I do have is a way to find out.
The Boring Personal Stuff
Yesterday was a particularly difficult day for a multitude of reasons. Then, we had a five hour power outage. During that time there were a lot of sirens. Oddly there is nothing on NextDoor and people complain about every firework display and question every every siren. I guess once it was over no one cared? Oh it looks like an 18 wheeler jacknifed and knock out a power pole or something. Did I mention it was also pouring rain?
Anyway, a reminder very few people “get fired” from these shows in the technical sense. They have contracts for the season and usually have options for four more seasons for a total of five. They do this because people start to feel themselves after a year or two as a “reality star” and want their pay renegotiated and someone to remove all the brown M & Ms from their M & M bag for them. Figuratively speaking.
The Exclusive Tea
When it comes to RHONY pickup letters have not even gone out yet. But it seems like Dorinda was already making demands or doing something to cause her to get the news before everyone else. She was given the Vicki, Tamra, Nene treatment. Shed Media offered her a friend role to wrap up her story line for the upcoming season. And just like the four that came before her, she was offended and declined. So was she fired? No. Did she quit? Not exactly. It’s just sometimes people get too big for their britches and refuse to take the easy money laying on the table. It made me think of how savvy Kenya Moore was in handling her situation.
So What Do Y’all Thinks About This News?
I won’t miss Dorinda. SHE COOKED! SHE CLEANED! SHE MADE IT NICE! But she probably would not have been my choice for the one to demote. I would have gone with either Sonja or Ramona. Either way, I don’t care. That twosome needs to be split. What do you think? If you had to get rid of one of the RHONY who would
I will miss the Berkshires. I was really hoping 1% Ramona with all her friends would be let loose. Leah, brings nothing. I am just hoping thet do not bring Jill back. Some franchises just need to end.
At least we don’t have to worry about any of her fifty, BFF, blonde, UES girlfriends being cast. We’ve already seen them all.
I love Leah. I enjoy her more than any of the other RHONYs. But I totally agree on not wanting them to bring Jill back. Every time she shows up as a guest on one of the sows, I wince. Still can’t stand her voice or her thirstiness. I will miss seeing what Dorinda is wearing. I think she has the best style of any of the NY housewives, but I will not miss her drunk rages.
Shows, not sows, but very funny typo. Happy to be back, TT! Email arrived on this one!
Wait? You got a notification? If true at least I fixed one irregularity on the site. So um, YAY?
Who to eliminate…? Hmm… Sonja is my favorite housewife of all time but I wouldn’t mind her switching to a frequently-appearing friend. I’m not that interested in what she has (or doesn’t have) going on in her life. I HATE Ramona but she does bring good tension to the cast. I physically avert my eyes when she comes on screen sometimes… That plastic surgery is very literally hard for me to look at.
P.S. As a person who is physically incapable of naps, I’m sipping my 2nd coffee and wishing you the best nap of your life!
Thanks Nina. Sadly I didn’t get a nap. It’s one thing after another over her. Now I am drinking beer and SOFA KING SLEEPY but I have to got to “go to work” at 8 tonight. I’ve got Big Brother and the Finale of RHOBH tonight. FML.
I can’t believe it’s already the finale on RHOBH.
I say we toss Ramona into the middle of the Wisconsin riots and bid her farewell! I mean protests.
I have to ask….. do you live in Wisconsin or are us Wisconsinites the butt of all jokes now? Not mad, I joke too, just wondering if you are a neighbor 🙂
Just most recent, my Philly crap is pretty much an everyday thing so I no longer give it a thought. I’d be happy to drop Ramona off in west philly though.
You’re from Philly? I’m from Philly!
I am from WI and I am happy Dorinda is going. I would like Ramona gone, too, but I would not want her sent to Kenosha. A city I have always liked dangerous right now!
I just read that the Governor changed his mind and is now requesting federal help. Better late than never.
IMO, federal “help” these days is no help at all. They just fan the flames and cause more violence. Please, stay safe all!
I apologize Annie I would have trashed Beets comment if I had seen it before there were other comments. Prayers for your state. xo ~tt Oh and thanks for all the cheese! 🙂
SERIOUSLY, Beets? We can pick on Wisconsin in like 2014. But that comment was NOT COOL at all. I’ve been watching parents cry ove their children and look at a photos of 17 year old boy whose life is also lost because he was raised by Trumpster parents. Just know when to SHUT THE FUCK UP.
So I guess you will really hate this opinion, it’s time for this shit to end. If that means turning the fire hoses on these “protesters” than so be it. Peoples are dying, businesses are being destroyed, neighborhoods are burning down. Now White people cant eat a meal without being terrorized? Fuck that. I’m one million percent on the side of police. Black lives do matter and the bad cops need to go. The message has been heard, no one is arguing with that. Changes will be made. And if you don’t like my sense of humor oh well. Thought you had tougher skin than that. Peace out.
Agreed
I think the problem is that no one trusts that changes will be made. No one trusts the police to police themselves. Instead, we see them protect each other even when they know someone is wrong. Until more departments willingly change the culture, no one is buying it. No one has any faith.
I totally agree. ?
Huh? Who trusts “these changes” to be made – where are they being made? What legislative body is facilitating them? Your hyperbolic use of “people are dying” is ridiculous, more people have been killed by American police in 2020 alone than will ever be killed in these protests. Not to mention, the most substantial killing thus far came from a right wing extremist child raised in hatred and propaganda his entire life. Do you think it’s a coincidence that two of the most historic and progressive presidents in history, Lincoln and JFK, were both assassinated by right wing extremists? As a collective, the extreme right has always been shortsighted and irrational — do you also think it’s a coincidence that almost every right wing platform becomes outdated as society progresses? Lgbt rights/marriage, weed legalization, conflating stemcell research with abortions and ending the research on what would have been the future of medicine in 2001 (all to target planned parenthood and control women’s choices), Reaganomics setting the stage to destroy the middle class — the only thing the far right has ever been efficient at is rallying together groups of scared, fearful, and generally uneducated people to use to their own ends.
Your delusional
I think you meant “you’re delusional”? No one likes a grammar nazi, but if you’re going to take the time to respond to someone’s comment maybe learn to articulate yourself, refute my points, and put together an intelligent argument instead of a two word comment that somehow still manages to be ignorant and incorrect.
Like I said, short sided and irrational – let’s include uneducated in there, because let’s be real most right wing extremists aren’t educated unless they’re the ones pulling the strings of the deplorables.
You’re amazing!!! Excellent comment. I see you do your homework
LOVE this comment, Psylocke! I’m with you 100 percent! Time for the right wingers to crawl back under their rocks, or back into the swamp.
This comment breaks my heart. What little understanding of the actual dynamics of the situation it presents. Changes will be made only when the plethora of white racist nationalists that have infiltrated the US justice system at all levels are rooted out. Good luck with that. So no this message has NOT been heard. We are still being murdered. I am a BIPOC woman that is a long time reader, rare commenter here. I love Tamara and love most of the posters but this right here is infuriating and saddening.. I cannot believe these words were typed and they are actually believed. The police union has been infiltrated for years with extreme white racist nationalists. That is why black and brown bodies lie in morgues, that is why peaceful protests are happening and guess what I don’t feel any pity for you at the fact that maybe you might get a glare as a white person in a restaurant because I might get shot so the stakes are a little higher, my fear a little higher and my stress levels a little higher. I may be breaking all the rules and you may kick me out Tamara and I understand, just reading the post @BeetsWhy posted is triggering in it’s ignorance. I couldn’t keep my brain shut and maybe have reacted badly. My apologies Tamara. I find your site a safe snarky space where I come to gossip about housewives, so thank you for keeping this site alive during these trying times.
Now to stay on topic, I would drop Ramona like a hot potato.
I feel you, and I agree with you, Ndidi. Time for a major change. Get the con man out of power and his crime family in prison. That’s what I’m voting for. Redirect police funding. And get the white supremacists out of policing.
I started typing my damn comment and it just disappeared!
I agree! I’m over the gruesome twosome of Ramona & Sonja. I have no interest in watching a grandma aged bitch shit in floors, the bed, etc. Nor do I want to hear about Sonja’s Depends, watch her wash her panties out, lose a tooth, take off her clothes, etc, AND I am over her rants about P Diddy and being a Morgan. I’m equally sick of LuAnn’s inflated ego and thinking she can sing. She does look the best we have seen her but her inflated ego is too much. None of them are actual “housewives,” and Leah is the only one still raising a child. There is nothing about Sonja, Ramona, Lu and Dorinda I even remotely want to relate to. I don’t aspire to be like those bitches (give me Kyle Richards’ life). I didn’t hate Dorinda. She had her moments and I liked seeing her get excited about hosting at the manor, but will I miss her? Nope. I’m ready for a cast shake up.
Sonja could bow out gracefully with her very best face full of surgery and Luann could go before she needs a face full of surgery! Perfect timing.
LMFAO!! Gruesome twosome!!!! Too funny!!!!
I think Ramona. I was surprised Dorinda was gone, but she is soooooo mean and delusional this season that I am really tired of her antics. When she is good she is awesome but when she is not, which is more and more frequently, it is so freaking annoying. I am SO tired of listening to Ramona and her quest to be relevant. Like have 70 “friends” is the be all and end all of life. So she would be my choice. I have a soft spot for crazy Sonja so…. and I LOVE the countess. We will see, I actually haven’t missed Bethany and her poison personality so I assume it will be the same with Dorinda.
I will miss Dorinda. She is definitely going through something – but i would have liked to see her come out the other side. Getting rid of Ramona would be an amazing start to a shake up. Ramona is boring. She has no attention span and is constantly walking out of group activities to go somewhere “more exciting”. If I were the execs, I’d give her plenty of time to manhunt and cut her loose. Losing Dorinda doesn’t shake it up – we just lose Blue Stone Manor! Dorinda was one of the few who had depth on that show – angry season or not!
I agree, Jan Fan!
I will miss Dorinda.
I know she has issues, but I think she can overcome them.
I don’t want to live a life without Bluestone Manor! ?
I will miss Dorinda a lot! I’m not happy about this. She was the only one on the show that had a realness about her. Sonja and Ramona are delusional. So is the countess for that matter.
It’s so bizarre to me they would choose to get rid of Dorinda before Ramona, especially if they’re taking to make the case of going more relatable and Leah centric? Dorinda has been vocal about women’s rights (the complete opposite of Ramona), and was really Leah’s only friend and supporter — that’s just so weird to me. She needed the next season to have a Dordemption and then maybe wrap up her story.
Ramona for sure needs to go and take delusional Sonja with her.
I think it would be weird to leave LuAnne out there hanging. They should just recast the entire show. More rich New Yorkers doing rich New Yorker things.
Dorinda has been horrible this season. Her treatment of Tinsly was atrocious.
There are plenty of cool New Yorkers that would be cool to watch. I’d start with Melissa Wood Tepperberg.
I think one good thing that might come out of CoVid is everyone is broke now and really don’t want to watch people with 100.000 in handbags.
Yea that’s a good point TT. I have actually bitched about the Kardashian/Jenners because it’s a regular occurrence to see/hear what their clothes cost, their vehicles cost, or the latest real estate purchase cost. I keep saying why don’t they do more good w/their money. I did love RHOBH though the first few seasons because everything was so fabulous. I knew I’d never live that way in my lifetime. It kind of took me back to being a kid and wanting a house & car like Barbie. Lol
I’m just so tired of the drunken mean crap on RHONY, along with the crude treatment of servers and staff, and the shitting beds and floors and leaving it. The story lines are like wash, rinse repeat…Lu’s cabaret, Sonja desperate to do what Bethenny did (toasters, clothes, or copy Skinny Girl), Ramona is just obnoxious & boring. I think the thing I like most on the show is when Dorinda makes it nice in the Bezerkshires. Yet, I’m not really going to actually miss her.
I think it’s a good decision. All of them need a wake up call. Not interested in watching the show especially after Tinsley left. No reason to. Nothing positive fun or light. Constant drunken fueled behavior & snide comments about Tinsley’s relationship finances & the Turkey baster comment was reality television at it’s most horrible. I am not going to waste my time watching Ramona defecate Dorinda rage Lu brag Sonja drink & Leah pontificate. Not must see television. Will read your recaps faithfully but not watch this drivel anymore. Great post.
Agree with you ?‼️
Dorinda makes me sad to watch. Because it’s totally appropriate to psychoanalyze total strangers, I’ll say that it seems as if she has a codependency with the show. I like the Ramona + Leah dynamic, and the Sonja + Ramona dynamic. Not sure how Lu fits in without Dorinda. Am I forgetting someone? If so, I’d definitely fire that person.
I like the bon vivant granny cast, personally. I think that’s special and fun. I guess they need a Leah there to make aghast expressions about how wacky the grannies are.
Hi. I like your comments. I , personally, like that Bravo has actually thought the lives of aging women were interesting! But I see that many are scornful towards grandma’s. Why ? We are all going to get wrinkles, best not to only have 30 year olds as people worthy of watching. Are we so afraid of dying that people beyond 50 can’t be on out tv? Anyways, l do like Leah. Dorinda has depth but agree she’s lost herself to the bottle. Luanne, boring. Maybe they need some really cool older women, Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda, Angela Davis…?
I’m at an age my kids could make me a grandmother. It’s not the grandmother age group that annoys me as it is the public drunken scenes that they don’t have enough sense to be embarrassed by. I’m all for a good time, including alcohol, and I really don’t care what they smoke or snort…their bodies, money, etc. It’s just not entertaining to me to watch these women see how low class they can be. They passed entertaining a looooong time ago. I don’t want to see a 60+ y/o shitting the bed or floor. They are insanely rude to staff/servers everywhere they go. I don’t want to watch Sonja dropping teeth out of her mouth or washing her panties out or explaining why she wears Depends on the jitney. There is nothing fabulous about any of that. Show me NY fashion/fashion shows, beautiful apartments & Hamptons’ homes, fine dining, shows, trips. I can go to a dive bar down the road and watch aging women drunkenly throwing themselves at men.
I cringe more about their behavior in restaurants than spontaneous defecation. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before those come together in a single scene. I really never want to watch any of the housewives eat. I was watching the Potomac show a few weeks ago and noticed that multiple people were cutting their food with the side of their forks. Now I can’t I ring that bell and I’m preoccupied. Is that a local custom? At least RHONY use utensils like adults (when not throwing ravioli).
Uh, what’s wrong with “cutting” food with the side of your fork if the food is soft enough? I’ve done that all my life. Never heard one person think it wasn’t okay, til you. Where did you grow up? Another country?
It might be a southern thing because I’ve heard this as well it is always correct to use a knife and fork when cutting. Frankly, I rarely eat in public with anyone who has any sense of decorum whatsoever. I generally solve this problem by sitting next to them rather than across from them. 🙂
Kris a lot of us here are are old AF and would rather not have our age group portrayed this way. It’s one thing for me to be a drunk old bitch in my house alone and quiet another to be shitting on floors in Mexico raging at people and saying things like “Oh wow! LOOK AT ALL THE SERVANTS” That comment alone may get her ass shit canned.
Well true, they weren’t the best representatives. Maybe we should create our own reality show “Old AF , quietly drinking” I dunno, lol. I was trying to make a joke, didn’t quite work. But I do still think older women are worthy of a reality show versus hiding ourselves, maybe not the RHONY types though.
Yes Kris, I think a show could be done, be funny, and not be so classless. Whenever I hear Lu sing “Money Can’t Buy You Class,” I think it sure as hell can’t! The more money they make the more classless they get.
?
I love the iconic tough old UES lady type. That’s “real NY” to a lot of people. I want it to be like golden girls, but NYC. It would help if more of them had family willing to be on the show. A spoiled son, captain of industry daughter, gay ex-husband turned bestie. I just realized I’m describing Grace and Frankie. Can they just make that a Bravo show? Jane Fonda is already cast so…two birds, one stone.
I like the granny cast also but that’s because I’m their age. I don’t want to watch an entire cast of millennials that I can’t relate to.
Yaas. Ok minus the pop, it could have been interesting to look at their aging issues if Bravo would go deeper. Loneliness, fear, finding yourself ( Luanne) becoming empowered theirs lots to explore.
Pop not pop
Poop
Really, can you imagine? I’m 56 and went through a very painful divorce for 3 yrs & 6 months,that finally ended this January. I lost most of my money but more than that, I lost me. It’s left me a shell, gutted and so lost-quarantine doesn’t help, all this time to think. The women on the show are going through a lot but they will discuss it only fleetingly then production cuts the scene preferring to see them drink & fight rather than engage in a meaningful conversation. I remember one time they talked about the lonliness of divorce, the fear or being alone, afraid you’ll never find someone. They were in a locker room at a spa. I’m going through menopause, they are too, it’s VERY challenging at times & I’d like to know what it feels like for other women. Sometimes I have strange symptoms, I don’t feel like myself or I feel like I can’t breathe. I’m too embarrassed to tell people because it feels so overly dramatic. I happened to see online that the breathing thing is not uncommon. Reading that made me feel MUCH better, I thought I was crazy & I felt ashamed. I wish women would talk about these things, the changes, the shame, what it’s like to see your hair fall out, your metobolism change, suddenly you’ve invisible to men under 50 but men over 70 think you’re a still a real peach. I can’t find any place where women talk about all these things we all go through. To be honest, quarantine has been very isolating for me. Sorry, I think this was probably a bit of a rant. I don’t expect reality shows to prop me up emotionally, I just wish there was more “reality” I’ve NO interest in watching rich drunk women complain.
I think that Dorinda had to go. The couple of times I have watched RHONY she has been so mean, and seemed not herself at all. I enjoyed Dorinda from the first couple of seasons. She definitely has problems she is not addressing. I think all of them (except Leah) are aging out and need to go!
@TAM – In regard to Dorinda I stopped watching in 2017 – I don’t care if she left or was fired I hope she addresses her demons.
Loved her in the first two seasons,
Ageing out? Not nice
New York is going through a sea change after covid. Lots of people moved away. So lets have a complete housewives overhaul. Lose everyone but Leah.
Don’t get friends or sisters of Leah, instead get ladies who, for whatever reason, are starting over. Women from different walks of life who have the time and interesting story lines to devote to promote their own good cause. Similar to Sutton but with more problems and less money. Being a housewife is a full time job but there must be ladies who are social climbing and view the show as a way to move up the ladder.
@Rabicate – My spirit wolf is sniffing the air with interest at this concept.
I like that concept, too! Women who are trying to start/re-start their lives and a business in the new New York–could be restaurants, anything. And what will be the new ladder to climb, socially? Perhaps a more altruistic one? Love this!
That exact plan is being considered Rabicate.
I think what has made RHNY work in the past is that they have legitimate connections and histories with each other. In contrast on RHOC they are work acquaintances and it is forced and gimmicky
Like Alex and Simon? they were good tv
California here. Is New York really the wasteland its portrayed as? Curious if people are forever abandoning it.
It isn’t a wasteland, but it is high density living with relatively small living quarters. If you’re used to sacrificing home space to enjoy easy access to public spaces, but you now have none of those things, you feel trapped in your tiny space. If you’re justifying the housing expense in order to have proximity to work, but you’re working remotely or unemployed, that’s off the table. If you justify it for socialization and culture, that’s off the table. Its suddenly an undesirable living situation. Not to mention the increased crime.
Those who have the capital to move out of the city are really tempted to do that, enough so that housing inventory just outside the city is really weird right now. I don’t know what the rental market will look like when evictions start…but probably pretty bleak.
Not to mention the fact that being reliant on mass transit is not attractive right now. Maybe I am describing a wasteland, but it’ll rebound.
I lived in a studio apt. for a very long time in Manhattan & loved it. I had to leave 6 years ago due to parental responsibilities but NYC will rebound quickly from Covid-19.
No one I knew had a life anything like the RH portray. We worked and came home and enjoyed what the city had to offer. It’s a wonderful place to live.
Ramona appears to have erased RHONY from her Twitter account. Perhaps dreams do come true and I don’t have to watch her. I wonder if she had a role in Dorinda’s exit. Seems like she spent the season pointing out the drinking problem.
I’m so over RHONY with the exception of Dorinda’s sloppy drunkenness. I was waiting for her to hit bottom. We won’t get to see the Blue Bunny factor play out. Snore fest occurring on Bravo. The only show I watch anymore is Below Deck and that stinks now too. Maybe so much if this is Covid related. The production of the shows is obviously different. Who’s ready to watch Zolciak in October?? Omg. I’m dead.
First, good to hear from you TT. I was starting to get concerned when you didn’t post about this.
I’ll miss Dorinda. I know she’s been horrible to people this season, but overall, I find her interesting to watch. When she’s not drinking (or whatever sends here into those rages), she’s much more relatable than Ramona, Sonja, or LuAnn. And while the cast probably could use a shake-up, I have a soft spot for all of them and don’t really want any of them to leave. Actually, I want many of the former cast members back: Bethany, Heather, Kristen, Jules, and Jill. The younger group and the older group don’t mesh well. We need two versions of the show for the two age groups. I wish I could come up with something clever for the names. I’m sure someone will.
Dorinda’s radio show on Radio Andy was good too and got better with each episode. I never go anywhere these days, so I don’t know if it’s still on, but I think there were only a few shows.
I don’t think she’s on. It is sad that the HW radio shows haven’t seemed to catch on for whatever reason, or they don’t continue with them. I loved Bethenny’s as well as Dorinda’s.
She has some stuff to deal with though.
That’s interesting–I was psyched about her radio show but gave up. She has the perfect voice and lots of personality but I felt she did zero preparation. She was always asking her guests, “What do you want to talk about?” If they were seasoned talk show vets like Carson Kressly or Colin Cowie, they would eventually just take over. But I found others unlistenable like her daughter who would interrupt callers mid-sentence and go off on her own opinions with no interjection by Dorinda and no returning to the caller to finish. I mean, it was like whatever Baby says is most important. In defense of Dorinda though, Sirius needs to give these celeb amateurs some direction on how to do talk radio and take charge. Jeff Lewis is the exception. Whether you like him or not, he definitely preps and runs the show. If this is too much radio talk, sorry for the rant and I will understand the deletion. I’ll miss Dorinda and will pine for Blue Stone.
1000000000000% would say get rid of Ramona….shes just not enjoyable to watch. i do think besides Leah, that they need a total reboot and shake up and start fresh with a younger crowd. there is only so much to watch of ramona being drunk and hitting on younger guys, sonja pretending she has a clothing line and Luann and her cabaret career. time for a full on reboot with some younger REAL ladies. i did think dorinda had some issues this season that are best to workout off camera but i will really actually miss her. but for sure leah was my favorite and i was sad to see tinsley leave as well!
Spell check is crying Adios Doritos.
Dorinda has kept me from watching this season. I watched the first few shows, then just relied on your recaps. That said, Ramona would have been my choice to let go. I’m sooooo over her.
Also, I am now officially just “Shay” since it will no longer allow me to add “The Other” lolololol
Dorinda, who I liked in her earlier seasons, has become so nasty and childish. I won’t miss her.
I think Ramona might be out too. She acts like she’s too good for the show – as if the show is beneath her – so she should go if she’s so above it all.
I don’t follow her, but do you know if she always posted that she was a housewife on Twitter , and then dropped it..because it’s not in her bio like everybody else. It seems weird that not in there.
Ooooh! I’ve never seen her Twitter account, but good catch! Maybe she did have it on there and then removed it. Let’s see if anything comes out over the next few days.
Ramona needs to go
I am not a Leah fan. She’s just not likeable to me. Everyone else is raving about her. Definitely does need a shake up though. Someone on twitter suggested Nina Garcia – I am DOWN FOR THAT! All of them can go as far as I’m concerned. It used to be one of my favourite franchises. At least the death was quick. Now I’m down to BH and surprising the ladies of Potomac are starting to get fun.
I’m team Flo. Recently Jerry O Connell and a couple other famous superfans I can’t recall were asked on WWHL who is the greatest housewife of all time . I immediately started saying Don’t say Nene, DON’T SAY NENE, And no one did. The other two people gave reasonable answers that I have already forgotten. But Jerry need time to think about his answer….like thru the end of the show, and then he said Leah was the best new housewife of all time and possibly ever or something like that. Nearly every celeb is specifically asked about her by Andy. She’s the new it girl. I don’t see it either but the idea of getting out of the UES is being discussed with a big cast
Leah’s ok but I’m not interested in seeing 6 Leah’s on my TV and will not watch if that’s the direction that they are going in.
I literally haven’t started watching RHONY since before the midseason hiatus they did. Frankly, I don’t remember exactly what was going on before that. My mom and I were watching but not getting into it.
I have read that Ramona shit on the floor – and honestly? My mom won’t be down for that. I no longer want to watch with her. (Side note: her prudish reaction when I corrected my dad on his assumption that Falwell had the affair with the pool boy was HILARIOUS. My dad (who is usually just as easily embarrassed as my mom) and I couldn’t stop laughing.
I’m sad that it is Dorinda going first, and not Ramona. People on twitter have been saying she was fired because Dorinda is a mean drunk… Romona is mean SOBER, so I KNEW it wasn’t because of that. Love you got the truth out!
Oh.. another side note.
My cousin used to be a roadie for a very well known band. He said that yes, some of the things in the famous people contracts are over the top and ridiculous. HOWEVER, he said many of the reasonable ones will have a few weird demands in their contracts. Why? Because if they walk in and see M&Ms that aren’t exactly how they requested them? They know the people doing the work weren’t paying attention, or maybe hadn’t read the contract and the other list of details. Those other details could include things that are meant to keep the artists safe (like if they have pyrotechnics or some of them are trying to maintain sobriety & the place did the usual free booze, etc. set up) or to insure they can give a good performance (sound equipment requirements, etc.). Otherwise if it is something weird they MUST have available to eat or drink and they are a well off performer or performers? The roadies would make sure it is available on the road.
I read the Daily Mail article about this and they stated another would be let loose today. If Ramona has erased RHONY from her twitter, hopefully it’s her. Now she can hang with her constantly changing numbers of BFFs and be hit and quit.
I used to like Dorinda. She can be funny and quick witted. But she has become a raging alcoholic. There is no coming back from some of the things she’s said and done, including to Tinsley and LuAnn (enough with the mug shot). It appears she is still at the place where she refuses to see or admit what she’s done. Ever. So, right now, she is not salvageable. And I am sure that her nastiness is not limited to her co-stars but must also be directed at production, which will never go over well. Too bad she didn’t take this opportunity to be a friend of the cast and get sober. Or at least get the drinking under control.
Truthfully, there is no one I like watching anymore. Ramona and Sonja are embarrassing to watch. There are so OTT. And again, so self-awareness. Lu is gorgeous but it ends there — she has no talent and has an ego that’s out of control. Leah thinks her “youth” means she wins. Frankly, she is not that young. And that’s all she has. Eh.
Aside from Bethenny (I know, not a popular opinion), there is no one I’d like to see return. In fact, I’d hate it if they returned (e.g. Carol, the big mouth jeans seller, the wooden leg woman — all of them are horrible).
“The wooden leg woman” LMAO 🙂
Ever since the news broke, I have been (obsessively) checking for TT’s to deliver the truth behind the headlines.
I will miss the Dorinda of previous years, this year too much mean. She and Bethenny were the only HW with actual money. I liked seeing Dorinda’s homes and her enthusiasm for entertaining.
Sonya and Ramona are too sloppy, sleezy and ratchet for my taste. They could both go.
Take care TT! Go sleep a bunch. I would too, but I am binge watching Hurricane coverage from the safety of MN.
Honestly, I think I just watch out of habit and because I set my DVR to record these shows years ago. I enjoy the recaps and comments much more than the show.
Ramona can go as well with her baby turds. I once liked Dorinda but the last two seasons she has been extremely mean spirited and spiteful. I do not think that she has truly mourned her husband. She really is a mean drunk, she is fun and enjoyable when she is sober. I hope that she takes this time to seek help and hopefully they will bring her back.
I found Dorinda highly entertaining and will miss her.
Dorinda is great when she is not super drunk or being mean, she was warm and funny and she made it nice. Her time is done. I know everyone seems to hate Ramona but I love to hate-watch her. She is just beyond delusional and I have always wondered what was really going on with her, diagnostically. She is not like the others, and when I say “others” I mean the rest of the world. I am not as interested in what Sonja is doing, except for the century 21 discount job, she is just more of the same. Leah definitely needs some peers,
I have also been watching the weather channel non-stop, and my heart is hurting for all of those people, homes and animals that are going to be gone when this is done.
Maybe you were sick last week TT? and you are feeling better thus you are eating? Hopefully you will continue to feel better.
Glad Dorinda is gone. Now I hope Ramona is next. I liked Sonja in the past, but her antics now are embarrassing, or at least I’m embarrassed for her. I miss Bethenny and her quick wit the most.
It’s a toss up between Sonya and LouAnne for me. I’m not a fan of either.
Leah is the new “it” girl because of her black out drunken behavior. It makes good tv, and that is why people love her. I heard she is trying to get her sister Sarah on the show.
Ramona has enough money to go get her bladder stitched to stop the poo from flowing out. She wants to take care of her face and boobs but not her butt! She is too much.
I laugh at Sonja because she is constantly repeating every sentence someone else is saying when she is drunk. She is so drunk she can’t even form her own thoughts. Plus, she is in every fight this season, just repeating the exact same words that another woman said.
I am sad Dorinda is gone. I really like her. She struggled this season, but these women are told to “bring the drama” and she did. I won’t miss her constantly reminding LuAnn of her arrest, but I will miss her. She wears her heart on her sleeve and takes care of everyone else, but not herself.
Elise can go in my opinion.
Ramona is the reason I stopped watching this show…she needs to go with her EXLAx addiction.
Clip!
So as some of you know, I have breast cancer, diagnosed a few months ago when I found a whopping 5 centimetre tumor in my breast. TT, a great and loyal friend, has been checking in with me and got a kick out of my telling her I’d named my tumor “Dorinda”. So my first thought on hearing the news that Dorinda was gone was “I’M CURED!”
ROFLMAO! It’s only a matter of time my friend…
I didn’t know about your cancer, I must have missed your post. I hope your tumor disappears faster than Sonja’s skirt at happy hour. Seriously, though..I hope everything goes well for you and that you are better soon ❤️
Dorinda has a Youtube channel where she always seems to be doing great — with a handsome new boyfriend and fresh produce from the garden to cook up. But then when she liveblogs the RHONY episodes, it’s back to mean-drunk Dorinda.
She was never quite a top-tier badass for me, because she so obviously created her zingers well before her various fights, so that she could later sell them as tote bags and mugs. Take your “Clip” and “Not well, bitch” and go.
I hate Dorinda. She has been a nasty bitch to all the girls for years. Go back and watch the other seasons. It’s all there. Good riddance and please get help with your angry, alcoholic tendencies. I wish Bethenny would come back.
I used to really like Dorinda, but these past two seasons she just seems miserable. She and Ramona need to go. Luann seems to go with the flow lately so I think she’d do fine with any new casting. Also it’d be nice to see Sonja without Ramona. Leah is okay, but she annoys me with her constant age remarks. She’s almost 40 not some 25 year old.
What would make me do the Dance of Joy would be if Bravo axed Ramona and gave Elyse her apple. Bwahahaha.
Ramona calling Elyse a “friend hopper.” Pot, kettle… Tell that one to Sonja! (And, unlike Ramona, Elyse isn’t a social climber.)
They are all Bat Shit Crazy. They are simply not tuned into reality. They may have more money than some of us , but we live much better lives than those freaks. I stoped watching everthing but 90 day fiancé. I only read TTs recaps. Who treats people in different occupations below them and ask people to pack and unpack their stuff ??? Only people who shits on the floor.
How did Kenya Moore handle it???
I started to get new post notifications too! I’m happy again.
