It’ time for another RHONY Recap with a bunch of nasty women screaming insults at each other! So, um YAY? In real time RHONY news, Sonja Morgan had a blow today as 21st Century, the store that was carrying her recycled Target clothing line has filed for bankruptcy and has closed all of their locations. Poor Sonja.
This is going to be late because there is an endurance challenge on he Big Brother live feeds tonight. Leah is half naked! Everyone walks in with their masks on and takes them off once they get to their seats. Ramona has on some weird plastic one. Ramona also has already blessed out Luann for being late before everyone is even seated. Sonja looks great with her new facial surgeries. And a cute new hairdo. Tinsley looks great as usual. They talk about quarantining. Ramona said she loved quarantining in Florida with Avery and Mario. She loves Mario but she is not in love with him. He just doesn’t do it for her anymore. Really? Sonja was quarantined in a spa.
SHUP UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Leah calling Ramona out for her self-centered Instagrams during the pandemic. Leah says Ramona lied about donating blood. Ramona’s timeline for her “COVID” journey is bizarre. Ramona called Leah a bitch. Dorinda says that Ramona is never going to tell the truth about her pandemic behavior. Ramona and Dorinda argue with rude hand clapping. Leah goes in hard on Ramona for her complete lack of concern for others and going to a Trump party in The Hamptons. Leah calls Ramona a fucking idiot. Andy yells for everyone to SHUT UP!

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find Leah boring. I don’t care if she has tattoos or drinks to much or has a bad relationship with her mother. But apparently, we are going to talk about all of that ad nauseum. All of the housewives seem to love her. Especially, Tinsley. A viewer asks about Leah’s age shaming. Neither Leah nor her castmates think she does age shame.
Drink, Drank, Drunk
Lots of comments about drinking and who drinks more than who. Both Leah and Luann say they have stopped drinking again. Dorinda gets very sensitive about her drinking. Andy and Dorinda get into it over her drinking. She just doesn’t like talking about her drinking but finally does. Sonja owns that she drank too much this season but blames her taking a diuretic for the problem. Dorinda says she takes the same water pill and and never had that kind of reaction. I mean it’s hard to tell with Dorinda. She’s always pretty drunk.

We move on to Tinsley and her relationship with Scott. The other ladies treated her like crap for her relationship. Dorinda particularly was awful. Her engagement ring is GINORMOUS. Tinsley seems very happy in Chicago. She is doing charity with with a couple of pet rescues and living her best life with Scott. The ladies think that Scott told her it was him or the show. She denies that. The girl is finally happy! Leave her alone! But no, Dorinda continues to go in on Tinsley. We get a package of Dorinda being abusive to Tinsley. That ends with the turkey baster comment. Dorinda apologizes for “the joke.” Andy said it was really mean. Somewhere in there I think Tinsley indicated she is doing, or considering IVF.
With three minutes left, finally something interesting happens. We see unseen footage of Dorinda arguing on the phone with John. For some reason Scott gave John some money. John didn’t tell Dorinda. And when Dorinda found out she lost her shit and went HAM on John accusing him of running game behind her back.
Dorinda losing it over the John & Scott money situation certainly explains her meanness to Tinsley. I have found Leah to be as unremarkable as many others who have churned in and out before her on this show.
Why did Bravo show that phone call in the trailer and then bury it? Why is it coming out now? Money for what? I thought John was a successful
Dry cleaner
His business is super successful but he may not be the sole owner or be bad with money.
If I had to guess, I would guess it is a family business.
Madame Paulette his company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy Feb. 5, 2020. Assets of between $100k to $500k, liabilities of $ 1 million. There was another company Madame Paulette Valet Services which filed for bankruptcy the same day. So looks like the company had money issues before the Pandemic.
Thanks for the great detective work!
money issues aside that is not how one talks to a boyfriend. If he talked like that to her the police would be involved.
She was abusive and scary. Surely seeing that in TV gave her pause?
Omg… Her face when they showed that clip! I guess she wasn’t expecting that. Lol She looked like a witch when she was yelling at him. Or a demon. I’m so glad she’s gone.
Dorinda’ truly looked possessed.
When Tinsley brought it up at the reunion, Dorinda was saying it’s not true and completely denying it ever happened. Although, it was hard to follow everything being said as Dorinda tried to talk over Tinsley the whole time…where is the mute button when you need it!
THEN, bravo showed that clip and it shut her down! Wow, Shocking behavior!
CLIP!
No wonder he stepped out without her before they broke up. I’d want to be out & enjoy myself with out her abuse too.
Dorinda is mean plain and simple. She wants credit for” making it nice”, and loses her mind when credit is not given.
I wonder if John was having money problems before last season filmed and that was one of the reasons Dorinda cut it off with him. I seem to recall her saying he wasn’t supportive during her house repair/reno and got the feeling it was money support she was after. I doubt Dorinda would stay with a man who wasn’t financiallly successful.
I imagine all dry cleaners suffered since March as people working from home don’t need their services. But he seems to have been in trouble before that. I am surprised because Madame Paulette is recommended by all the high-end designer stores.
Madame Paulette is where The Met Costume Institute sends their garments. It is not just a high end dry cleaner- it is THE highest end dry cleaner. If Couture needs to be cleaned it goes there. If someone borrows a high end dress for an event- it goes there afterwards. Etc, etc.
Yet. The company filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 5, 2020 before the pandemic so there were apparently issues, two subsidiary companies Madame Paulettte LLC and Madame Paulette Valet Services also filed for Chapter 11 the same day.
My sister is a tv stylist in NYC. She says their quality has gone down quite a bit and that others are more popular now. I was surprised to hear it but she’s had things come back with the same stains they went in with.
Probably for the commercials John did with Dorinda and Tinsley for Coupon Cabin. Maybe john got paid and Dorinda didn’t???
Ramona needs to be fired.
Not only is she a horrible human being but her Covid jet setting was reprehensible.
I lost count of the places she listed in her covid traversing. Tone deaf doesn’t begin to describe her. She genuinely thinks she’s above it all. Her timeframe for having covid, Lyme, and a sinus infection made no sense. She’s exhausting and infuriating!
The restaurant company I work for has restaurants in Boca Raton and I can tell you for a fact you cannot be standing up inside or outside of a restaurant without a mask including Boca Resort.
I agree. She’s a trumper, so it isn’t surprising. I LOVED Leah for calling her out.
Ramona’s worst fear is being exposed as the white trash she is.
I thought that Ramona went to FL to spend a lot of the pandemic — many NYers fled the city so I don’t see what she was singled out. I bet Dorinda left the city for her country home. Sonja was at a spa. And then she returned to her two NY homes. Again, so many people left the City for the Hamptons. I get that her IG posts might be seen as tone deaf, but no one wears masks in their yard or pool.
I think Leah’s holier-than-thou attack was OTT but I am sure mine isn’t a popular opinion.
I agree with you. I dont know why Ramona was singled out.
I don’t think she was calling her out because she left the city, it was because she was living her best life on social media all through the worst of the pandemic. Party’s, restaurants, drinking, no masks all while people were suffering and dying. Completely tone deaf and very self involved.
No, I agree with you. I’m embarassed to say I checked in on Ramona’s social media a fair bit because I was fascinated by the Mario thing. She didn’t do much that other celebrities weren’t doing — pictures of family meals, cutesie TikToks with Avery, walks on the beach, picking up takeout.
Other than going to that Hamptoms party (abd arguably she might not have known the crowd that would be there), I don’t think she did anything scandalous or was tone deaf — no more or less than Dorinda’s social media from the Berkshires, anyway. I have kids Avery’s age, and if I had the chance to shelter in place in a big beach house, I would. (Especially if I got there before the FLA governor made it clear he was going to put the area in major jeapordy.)
I was watching Ramona’s posts as well. BIG EYE ROLL when she showed the “proper way to wash your hands” per her doctor. She proceeds to wash to the elbow, as if anyone is going to do pre-surgery procedure. It was ridiculous!!! She is so disconnected from real life through her privilege
The problem is she left nyc when it was bad and went to Florida which was less restrictive. Fine (although FL was not thrilled with New Yorkers coming to spread their germs). Then when things got bad in FL and everything was going well in NYC, she took her potentially infected self BACK to NYC and didn’t quarantine. It’s an asshole move and how the virus spreads.
This is exactly what she did! She is absolutely completely self absorbed. Selfish!
It’s unreal how she refuses to see how awful she is no matter how many people literally spell it out to her.
I think she DOES see how awful she is & doesn’t care at all.
I thought she moved back to NY when warm weather came and it was hotter in FL than in the Hamptons.
Again, I saw many IG posts by people who did the same. My own sister rented a house in the Adirondacks for two months to get out of NYC.
And while I have no love for Ramona, nor her political positions, I think she’s getting picked on because people know/believe she’s Republican.
That is not true. My favorite person left his NYC place and is still isolating in his home in another state with his mother and his husband. He is the designated person to leave the house to buy groceries and i worry about him every day. He;s not out FROLICKING. And if he is he is not telling me about it,
As for political beliefs as a Republican leaning Independent. I CAN NEVER EVER TRUST THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER THIS EVER IN WHAT IS LEFT IN MY SHORT LIFETIME. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is untrustworthy and a coward.
Yes, there were many New Yorkers who fled when they went on lock down and many traveled to Florida bringing their Covid with them-Our governor unsucessfully tried to stop them with legislation but could not-Our infectiion rate now mirrors NYVC levels-You know we call Miami with palm trees! Ramona is really disgusting! Her screaming over and over “I don’t wear a mask in the ocean” was so infantile and stupid. What a gaslighter.
You are on point!
It is telling that she is always the asshole in situations.
Totally agree. I thought it was OTT and judgy. She is making choices for herself and she will pay the consequences by herself, if there are consenquences. Live and let live.
The issue is that Ramona wasn’t sheltering in place and potentially suffering in a vacuum. She was reckless about taking away the ability of others to live. The lack of humility is galling. Any sensible person would say “I’m horrified. I attributed my symptoms to an earlier diagnosis and traveled extensively. Not knowing how many people I’ve harmed, if my ignorance caused someone to lose their father or mother, keeps me up at night.” No, her defense was to share a compliment that her doctor gave her about being strong. I think she thought she was bragging about the places she traveled to, but she just made herself sound insane.
I agree with everything you said,
HOWEVER, if Ramona had Covid she would have mentioned it ALL on social media.
Ramona reminds me of Trump. I hope they both leave my TV.
I live in a beach town in SC that was flooded with tourists from NY and NJ who came down here to escape the virus and they brought it with them. We didn’t have a mask order yet and they spread the virus. Our numbers exploded
and SC went to the top of the list of number of cases. She never told anyone of her diagnosis until long after she had it. So, yes, I resent her selfish behavior. She has always been completely self absorbed.
And all the people say AMEN. I could have gone to the beach to quarantine thinking it would just be a few weeks. But unless you have a summer house, or own an island in Greece you need find your place and shelter there, AND YOU SHOULD STILL BE IN QUARATINE YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN RETAUANTS AND BARS OR PROTESTING (NOT NOW) OR GOING TO TRUMP RALLYS OR COLLEGE OR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT SAFE!
I agree-She Ramona is a narcissist self serving bitch-
I don’t understand the hate *if* Scott did ask Tinsley to choose between the show and him. He wasn’t leaving Chicago, the show requires she be in New York. Adults have to make choices. Dorinda ranted about it not making sense he didn’t want her on the show if that’s how he met her…but people change, life changes. It’s bizarre how hard Dorinda hates on Tinsley and her life choices.
I like Leah. I do think she has potential and I hope she stays around but loses the insane drinking antics.
Ramona can go. Boring, self centered, delusional. I do not care to continue watching her desperate dating life.
She’s just ridiculous and ugly on the inside. I mean, what is her point? If someone was at an IBM work function and they happened to meet someone there and they started dating, and then 2 years later decided to leave their job to be closer to that person is that wrong or weird??? Of course it’s not. It makes PERFECT sense. It’s like bitch… SIT DOWN!!!
Even if there weren’t other reasons for Scott to not want Tinsley to do the show, who would want a person they cared about to continue taking Dorinda’s extreme abuse?
Tinsley and Dale must have discussed it also. Who could even watch their daughter going through that. It escalated this season, but it has been an ongoing problem. Dorinda is lucky that Tinsley didn’t hire that boxing coach to clock Dorinda on the street some night, or do it herself over the dinner table. Usually mean people like Dorinda only pick on weaker people they can bully.
I hope Dorian’s upper crust friends and gentle people like Carson Kressley and Colin Cowie see the real woman behind the money.
I am not a Leah fan either. She speaks in such a monotone, or I hear her that way, and she seems like a wannabe thug. She is too much like Dorinda. When she is drunk, she is insane.
I am extremely over Ramona, she keeps getting worse. She is never fun anymore, only self absorbed and insulting.
Raine – I kind of agree with you on the Leah front. I like her and then I don’t. The way she speaks rather gets under my skin. I COULD NOT BELIEVE she said that she didn’t think that Dorinda hit below the belt?!? Really??? That’s all she does when she goes in on someone!
Agree. And Lu said she’d quit the show in a NY minute for a husband.
To be fair, Lu would do almost anything for a husband, including marrying a guy photographed exploring the tonsil status of another woman while Lu was out of town.
Leah puts the real back into a show that was sadly lacking it. The rest are busy selling an image or product or both. Leah isn’t warm and fuzzy. She’s genuine. I’ll take her over any of the rest. Until she was on I forgot why I originally tuned in to these shows. And she also reminds me of why Bravo almost lost my interest.
I hope Sonja gets a break. I worry about her, she has no fight in her anymore.
Leah’s not selling a product? She was pushing her pathetic excuse for a clothing line all season!
Pathetic is so true! All I saw was basic “American Apparel” t’shirts and sweat tops with “MTTM” printed on them.
Leah had that business, like Bethany had hers, prior to going on the show. She didn’t invent a fake toaster oven, or horrible rose wine simply to cash out with viewers.
Yes Leah promotes her 15 year old business. No, Leah doesn’t prey on the audience with products she conveniently knows nothing about. She’s bossy because she’s the only actual boss of her own company in real life.
I actually enjoy Leah… But I have to say… After 15 years being in the biz, especially a clothing line… I’d expect much more than just plain white t’shirts and sweat tops with “MTTM” printed on them.
I would too. Especially since her baby daddy owns a very well respected street wear brand & lifestyle shop.
I think he might have been a graffiti artist and parlayed his talent into a successful business. Leah had on a sweatshirt and has a skateboard displayed with his “Alife” logo on it.
Don’t make fun of me but I have hoodies from both of their brands. Long before RHONY though. Like way back when she got picked up by a catalog I can’t remember the name of. I wish I still had them. They were comfy! I’ve moved too many times. 🙁
Yeah, I actually went on her website to buy but didn’t like anything, She doesn’t even offer like a v-neck woman’s t-shirt? And on the show, she said one of her sweatshirts was priced over $2K? Anyway, I adore Leah!
Go away Ramona!
I completely agree with you @Rabicate ..
Leah isn’t a “Firecracker “ w/ tons of one liners, She is in-fact REAL ( even IF lightly/ mildly boring at times) she does march to her own beat and she MOST Definitely isn’t afraid to stand up to the “ Ladies “ .
I have been SO over Ramona for years & lately she has been SO extra with her upper 1% Classist shtick ( I mean she ALWAYS treated anyone “hired” or in a “domestic job” like she was the Queen and they were the peasant chamber maids circa 1800s 🙂
I really enjoy sober ( Or the Drunk lite) Dorinda & especially enjoyed her relationship with Leah.
I am sad to see her go, Especially since I feel like others should’ve been “let go/ replaced/ encouraged to walk away” WAY before her.
Sonja , Looks Amazing . I would love to know what she meant when she said she made it her face lift permanent? How was the other one not permanent ( was it that string kind they advertise?) .
Sadly I am either outgrowing Bravo ( but I’m old & ya’know the old dog new trick saying, so Idk)
OR
Bravo & production interference etc has just ruined what was once a fun peak into other people’s lives.
They could keep this viewer with A Sonja, Leah, Dorinda cast with Luann & a new “friend” maybe..or just forget the whole thing and give Sonja a show with out any production “storyline “ .
Showing her real life , her real friendship w/ Dorinda ( like D letting Sonja stay at her apartment during covid19 etc) , Leah & Lou ( if they do in-fact have a real outside the show friendship), Maybe include crossover show ppl who she’s friends with like MDL Josh Flagg etc)
Otherwise , I will only be Following what TT recaps. & informs us of.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it at all, but Leah has been trying to scramble her way onto reality tv to promote her clothing for at least a decade. Really, I’d question the motivation of anyone who wanted to be on the show without a promotional interest.
TT, when I clicked “reply” another person’s username and her email address popped up.
Did that with me last night.
The Dorinda yelling at John phone call made my jaw drop. I cannot fathom speaking to anyone in that manner!! And Tinsley saying production was concerned for her safety. Fuck. Why did they let Dorinda continue to abuse her? That’s scary af. Sonja looked great but that dress was bad. Leah is great sober. Lu is always going to be Lu. Ramona is ridiculously self absorbed. I’m so happy for Tins and I truly hope she gets her fairytale life with babies and a husband and a happy home.
OMG, the way she screamed at him was horrifying! She sounded so scary and enraged, and I have no doubt that Tinsley could be genuinely worried for her physical well-being. Some of the looks that Dorinda aimed at her were just so full of hate and contempt. Her lack of remorse was just really weird too. I just don’t get why the focus of her rage is Tinsley! I wish I could get inside her head and see what the hell is making her tick. I also hope Tinsley gets her happily ever after.
I have not watched the reunion yet. I’m going to in a bit on On Demand.
Regarding Dorinda’s contempt for Tinsley, could she be embarrassed over John borrowing money and lashing out as a result? I don’t know tge timeline of the money and when she began feeling such contempt. I have a family member who has been meek, teary-eyed, pitiful when needing assistance. Once, the crisis is handled it’s a 180…mean, lashing out, saying hurtful things….like they are embarrassed anyone had to know about their hard times so if they lash out and push away the person who helped because the person who helped knows the dark secret so to speak. I mean this family member can lash out, berate, tell you what faults God would have with you in order to be superior and above the person who knows their secret. Dorinda’s actions really remind me of this person, plus Dorinda is a mean drunk on top of it.
I agree with your take on it being embarrassment. I have a family member who lashes out when they are embarrassed. Dorinda might have been ashamed that her boyfriend was having money problems and Tinsley’s boyfriend helped him out. Tinsley was there and the easy one to lash out at.
I wonder if Dorinda’s reaction to the news about the loan and her rage filled phone call being aired caused a meltdown at the reunion causing her firing. Maybe afterwards she went off on Andy and production. I hope it gets aired!
Word on the street is that is the way she treated Richard too.
No. You can’t just slide by with this. Tell us what the streets know about these two?
Lol, right!?!
I happen to know someone who has run in the same circles as her. His friends and family did NOT like her at all. She was always dragging him out to parties, even when he got sick. She also wore the pants apparently and when I saw that phone call to John and how she spoke to him, I kind of believe the stories.
Dorinda is clearly envious iof Tinsleys upper class background and social standing. Tinsley is something Dorinda will never be, a real lady with education and breeding.
THAT phone call was Reality TV Gold, It was raw and real..
That is the stuff worth seeing!!
She was PISSED & whatever the story is behind that… Is what they should’ve been Showing more of!!
Yes!!!! That and the unseen scary island footage would be priceless!!
The saddest thing about that footage to me is that Dorinda was probably so drunk that she had no recollection of the call.
She gets in drunken fights with her friends and loved ones and doesn’t remember what vile things she said because she blacks out. She knows *something* happened and tries to act like it was rational and justified the next morning.
It is helpful that they showed the footage though. The sudden shift to irrational hatred toward Tins made zero sense. At least they’re giving some context, finally.
Also, Dorinda saying she takes a diuretic every day and it doesn’t make her slur or stumble when she drinks is AMAZING. So oblivious.
Totally agree with your last paragraph. It was such an obvious “um. Hellooooo?!?!?” moment and they all missed it.
Why oh why did production leave out the thing about John last year??!! That sounds way more interesting than a lot of the scripted fights.
Dorinda spit yelling “don’t you ever run game behind my back” or whatever will forever be burned into my brain. Damn she’s a scary bitch.
What does that mean? ….run game behind my back…
That he was cheating her out of money and making her look like an ass.
Perhaps not cheating her out of money but using her connections to enrich himself.
Bingo!
Plus, John got the money from Tinsley’s boyfriend. The fact that Dorinda has some kind of crazed hate for Tins likely makes Scott the last person on earth she would want him to owe.
I wonder if this financial situation of John’s is why Dorinda dumped him.
Didn’t she say the same thing to him when he asked Bethenny?
It seems as though it is more likely that Dorinda hated the women because John was being a social disaster. Doing embarrassing things behind her back.
Maybe this was new behavior for John that made her angry. I think her issue in this instance was because it involved Scott and therefore Tinsley.
John has always seemed a little shady and the 2 of them together both were. Multiple times the other women tried to get her to dump John. They didn’t think he was high society enough. Dorinda always stuck up for him. Didn’t they date for 7 years?
Sorry but Leah is a boss and Romona is fucking moron and needs to be called out for her trumpard supporting shit. I don’t understand why Dorinda fired when clearly Ramona’s maskless boat has sailed.
TT I am not a fan of Leah as well – I don’t find her charming or funny. She is vulgar and coarse. I can find that type of character at anytime after 3pm at a local pub.
I wish there wasn’t so much focus on whether Tinsley is going to have children. Maybe she and Scott are perfectly happy the way they are with a fab residence and cute dogs. Reminds me of the relentless focus that Jennifer Aniston had to cop when she was going through her forties. I remember Bethenny shaming Carolyn for not having children (but ticking off her dead husband trying to be funny) was awful to watch. I agree with Romana, Bethenny doesn’t support women unless you are a sycophant.
I would love to know when Dorinda was recorded on that call with John – maybe that is the root of all her vile behaviour against Tinsley – you know, my boyfriend had to borrow money from your boyfriend etc
All of Dorinda’s comments toward Tinsley re having children were infuriating. I wanted to punch her to get her to shut up.
Tinsley is right — Dorinda is obsessed with her. How about her comment that she hates Tinsley’s life? LIE She is jealous.
I think Dorinda kept needling Tinsley about pregnancy at the reunion was to smear her hatred across the situation in case Tins did announce a pregnancy there. She was just locked and loaded to make something negative out of what would be the happiest thing in Tinsley’s world.
Now we finally know why Dorinda hates Tinsley. Why they excluded that footage out is beyond me. Just think of all the other footage we have missed. I bet you that she threaten Production over that footage and that’s why she was fired. I am so tired of Messy Andy he should of kept Ramona’s feet to the fire and instead gave her a pass.
Glad that Dorinda and Leah called out tonedeaf Ramona.
I bet we will get to more about Romana, I don’t think Andy is done with her. We have 1 or 2 more segments to see of this shit show.
I hope we get more incriminating flash backs, especially regarding Ramona, now that Dorinda should be shut down, if that is even possible. There were a couple of scenes I wish they had played back last night. There is still hope.
Sonja bitching about Tinsley talking about babies too much???? How many times have we heard “I’m a Morgan…. I was on a yacht with Diddy???” How many times did we hear about her nasty townhouse (evidently the target for all birds in NYC)??? How many times did we hear her toaster oven BS?????
Another person who is jealous of Tinsley.
OK, I loved how the reunion started at 100! I nominate Leah as MVP for the season and Pt. 1 of the reunion. I LOVED how she wailed in Ramona for her privledge and lack of
Awareness during the virus crisis. Leah was born & raised in NYC and is a real NY same
She takes no shit & calls people out. Bravo.
Dorinda is just a horror of a human being. She does NOT like being called out & her deflection whenever her drinking is brought up is amazingly unaware. All the other women fessed up but not Dorinda. She is a mean, vile, angry woman who immediately goes into mockery & below the belt comments. Re: the turkey vaster comment – the other women didn’t laugh – they looked appalled with Dorinda going in for a high five & Lu just grabbed her hand. Tinsley explanation makes perfect sense & glad there was footage of some of it. I think I heard Tinsley say that John did a commercial for Scott or something which is why he got the money. Tinsley stood her ground & while she’s never been my favorite, I loved how she stood up for herself.
Part 1 was great & edifying. Actually looking forward to 2 & 3.
So happy Dorinda is gonna be gone!
So now we have an idea of why Dorinda hates Tinsley so much! Her phone call with John was shocking. Dorinda’s behavior so far in this reunion is awful. I used to like Dorinda the first season she was on, but now I can’t believe how mean she is. I wonder why they didn’t show that phone call before, and what else have we missed?
Ramona is awful too. She thinks she’s so sexy and attractive, but she’s a dunce. Her makeup was terrible–she looks like she has dark smudges all over her face.
I’m not a fan of drunk Leah, but I like sober Leah. Tins is my favorite, so I’m sad she’s gone.
I wish the show would lose Dorinda, Ramona, and Lu–and bring back Bethenny. I wonder how Bethenny and Leah would be together. I like Sonja if she doesn’t get too drunk.
I can’t believe that at one time “make it nice” Dorinda was my favorite HW of all the franchises. Her hatred/jealousy of Tinsley was a bad look. If that wasn’t enough, her constant deflecting at Ramona ‘s expense sealed the deal for me. In these times, I have no desire to watch such nasty negativity. I can watch the news for that.
Buh-bye Dorinda!
Would rather watch a show featuring Tinsley based on her new life in Chicago with Scott. Dale would be a great sidekick for charitable gatherings of a more refined group of ladies, shopping trips & visits to far off locations & most of all her upcoming nuptials. These RHONY ladies are no longer fun. Dorinda will be on Dr. Drew Dr. Oz & Dr. Dolittle any day now. Cringeworthy behavior towards Tinsley. Karma is a bitch so I don’t have to be is my 2020 mantra.
Me too! I just love Dale and Tinsley’s old reality show! I remember Dorinda saying “Fine, go be a princess” when she did the circus and how bitterly mean she was at the end of the season when Leah thanked Tinsley. Se hates herself and blames Tinsley!
This is my first time ever commenting, but I just HAD to after watching because I am SO proud of Tinsley! I have followed her a long time and read her book, watched her old reality show etc. She is a genuinely kind, sweet and polite girl that happens to have been blessed with a fortune and Dorinda simply could not handle it. Dorinda always wanted to have a Tinsley kind of life SO badly, but it turned ugly when Scott had to give him ‘pity money’ and she had to look at her reality. A washed up, vile men drunk. Jealous isn’t a strong enough word to describe Dorinda.
Agree wholeheartedly. Great post April ! I watch her old reality show on YouTube & its light funny warm hearted & fun. Everything Bravo used to be ! Have a great weekend April 🌞😃🌝
I hate to bring it up but I am no longer getting notifications of new posts or comments. Is anyone else having this problem. I do love that the ads on the new site aren’t bouncing and flipping anymore.
I’m not getting notifications either.
After I wrote this comment WordPress asked if I wanted to follow Tamara Tattles. I said yes and now it looks like I follow her twice. But I am getting the new comments. Won’t know about new posts until there is one. WordPress is weird.
I haven’t gotten notices in months.
I haven’t read the comments yet, so forgive me if I am repeating something already said…. I believe Bravo let Tinsley out of her contract early due to Dorinda’s behaviour and regards for her safety. Dorinda is a nasty bitch and I wouldn’t put anything past her. Tinsley saying that production were worried for her safety spoke volumes.
TT do we know if Tinsley took a penalty to get out of her contract, or if it was waived?
This is such a good point! How they showed Dorinda acting towards Tinsley was bad. But, now that we see the level Dorinda goes to in a freaking phone call, and the fact production was afraid for Tinsley, makes me think there was very likely some aggression toward Tins that they never showed us.
We saw the footage of Dorinda going off on John but I only wish we could see the footage of the horrific fight she had with Tinsley prior to that phone call!
Dorinda must have gone ballistic when Tinsley mentioned the money exchange between Scott and John that she was unaware took place!
Did you se Sonja in the hallway listening in on the Dorinda and John phone call? Wish she would shed some light on what all went down.
That’s a good theory. Tins did say that it was that moment, when Dorinda learned about the money, that Dorinda suddenly turned on her. So Tinsley stuck around for a season and a half ? Or did Dorinda just start the vitriol this season?
Dorinda needs some professional help.
Leah isn’t my favorite, but I do appreciate her authenticity. Dorinda is just angry at life all of the time and it’s not fun to watch. Luann, Sonja, and Ramona all looked really good..that is until Ramona opens her ignorant mouth. I’m glad Tinsley is there and I hope she lives happily ever after in Chicago.
I seriously don’t know how this reunion is going to be three parts, though. Just like BH there’s not enough material for a three part reunion.
Dorinda needs an EXORCISM.
^^^^^THIS!!!!
Dorinda can have a mean streak no doubt. I just find her proverbial stoning this season overdone to say the least. D is certainly no worse than Ramona or Bethenny when she is in high dudgeon. Clearly Dorinda got the Ahole Edit this season. Next season production will pick another cast member for the villain role.
Also, I’d be super pissed if my BF took $$$ from a co worker’s BF and did not tell me about it.
“Also, I’d be super pissed if my BF took $$$ from a co worker’s BF and did not tell me about it.”
A boyfriend though? Your husband, yes, but I expect to be involved in all financial decisions because I’m married. John was someone she did’t let in to her life and apparently was there for her to abuse and to get free dry cleaning from. She obviously despised him.
In my opinion, Dorinda has a mean streak and a sense of holier than thou attitude that rears it’s ugly head when she drinks. Did you see her face on the phone with John? I was scared.
Bethenny was consistent, what you saw is what you got. Ramona is selfish, self absorbed, but I don’t get mean from her at all.
Ramona definitely needs to go! Her chanting “I don’t have the virus!” (I think that’s what she kept shouting.) was just unacceptable. She interrupted constantly, even it the conversation was not about her. Her expiration date is NOW. Glad Dorinda is gone. Like many have said, the Dorinda I really liked at the beginning is now someone I don’t recognize. So much anger. She needs therapy- real therapy. Tinsley handled her with dignity and grace. I think much of this cast has aged out. (And I am closer to the older cast’s age.) I still like Leah, Luann, hmmm, that’s it!
Should’ve Ramona have been chanting “I HAD THE VIRUS” instead of not having it? After all she had covid 19, Lyme Disease, and a sinus infection simultaneously or back to back to back. Sorry for being bitchy. COVID has finally made its way into my bubble and it’s very upsetting and it’s not someone in a good age group to beat this virus easily. It’s like degrees of separation keep shrinking as our dear leader shrieks we’ve turned the corner and cut testing because we’re doing so awesome. We’re not doing awesome.
I’m pretty sure if Ramona had Covid we would all know about it.
Oh I agree. My dad would know and he watches only watches tv in his bedroom with an antenna and uses a construction worker type cell phone. Her antibody testing story was just a super convenient excuse for being an asshole.
I went back and watched the episodes from the Miami trip… Dorinda completely changed her attitude to Tinsley following that trip and clearly wanted to take her down after thinking Tinsley tried to out her about John on camera…
Maybe …. John led Dorinda to believe he was HELLA rich and she tolerated him because he was well known in the social (dry cleaning) circles of New York. Once she found out that he owed his dealer…
Glad things are working out on the site TT. Haven’t had much to add lately, but still reading and clicking along. I saw a reference to a chest injury and hope you ok? Couldn’t finnd the details. 🙁
LuAnn looked stunningly and effortlessly gorgeous to me on the Reunion. I loved her comment about giving up her career on Italian TV for the Count. Also, I’d never noticed that Dorinda has GREAT legs! Who else thinks SonJa thought she was applying moisturizer/hand lotion, lol?
Leah cannot carry this show. I identify with her Mom tho’.
I can’t find the details either. I was really drunk and on the phone. The truth is i was drunk and fell and hit my left side. I’m still nor sure it how it happened. I’m starting to recover from that. But I have a full sack of issues.
I just find the edited framing of Tinsley as a totally innocent sweetheart tough to buy. Most of the cast never warmed to her. And there are reasons for it.
P.S. From IG it seems Bethenny and Dorinda are friendly now. Maybe Dorinda can mediate a Carole&Bethenny rapprochement.
Give it a minute. Dorinda will eventually be nasty and mean to Bethany (like with the Nutcracker debacle) and remind Bethany why they hadn’t hung out.
I honestly dont think Dorinda got the bad edit. She gave them all that material and they’ve shown the audience that even nastier bits were left on the cutting room floor.
I don’t think Tinsley is a saint but she doesn’t seem to be a mean spirited person
I wondered why she and Carol didn’t remain in touch being that she introduced her to Scott.
If they left that phone call out for so long, it seems like Dorinda enjoyed a favorable edit. If this were Beverly Hills and someone were slurring and that belligerent once, they’d show the scene multiple times in every episode as the main story line and include it season after season (ie. “YOU STOLE MY HOUSE” -K. Richards, circa like a decade ago and still shown every season at least three times).
They never mentioned Dorinda’s off camera aggression accusations. I remember one article from a few years ago about Dorinda getting publicly drunk and yelling at Harry Dubin when she saw him eating lunch. She reportedly took off her shoe and beat a man who tried to calm her down. John had to come collect her. And production clearly thought Dorinda might escalate to physical assault with Tinsley. I think taking off her shoes in a restaurant deserves jail time, but I’m not a criminal lawyer.
Andy was BEGGING her to take the opportunity to weep, act contrite, and say she knows she has a problem…make it a story of recovery. He cued that up for her half a dozen times and she kept changing the subject. Wouldn’t consider it.
Yes, indeed, to all of your comment.
It’s almost embarrassing to admit as I read the comments … I like all of them. I think this is one of the best RH groups because they act crazy, fight, make up and are real friends. They see each others flaws and love each other. I even like Romona.
Dorinda was extra this season. What is especially sad is that we saw how sweet John was to Dorinda on her birthday even thought she was horrible to him and didn’t deserve it. Battered man? Verbally, maybe?
Lu, Sonya, Dorinda and Romona look the best they ever have on RHONY.
Is Dorinda mad at Tinsley because Tinsley mentioned money on camera? Something is really off.
Anyway, I am the weirdo that thinks this entire group is pretty fantastic. Romona makes me laugh. All of them on the last episode have me cracking up.
I agree with most of your comments, except I think Dorinda needs rehab. I also thought this was Ramona’s LEAST crazy year and was surprised at how pissed viewers are at her. Ramona was the most sober of the entire cast. She was didn’t lost her shit at anyone. And I’ve never been a Ramona fan!
I thought she moved back to NY when warm weather came and it was hotter in FL than in the Hamptons.
Again, I saw many IG posts by people who did the same. My own sister rented a house in the Adirondacks for two months to get out of NYC.
And while I have no love for Ramona, nor her political positions, I think she’s getting picked on because people know/believe she’s Republican.
Oh yes, for sure, about the Republican bias.
Dorinda I believe got special edits because perhaps she threatened to sue Bravo. I believe others who posted that she dumped John over his money problems and didn’t want to fork over any of “Richard’s” money to help him out, which also made her look cheap when Tinsley told her about the loan. I think too Tinsley got out of town to avoid anymore aggression from Dorinda (Bravo also didn’t want any lawsuits) which left no one new to ridicule except I also think Leah was going to be her next target if she didn’t get fired. You can see the wheels spinning after one sip of wine with Dorinda. Bethenny wasn’t much better. Lu and Tinsley my favorites.
Dorinda has always gone from zero to 300 in about 2 seconds! Watched older seasons when she went ballistic on Sonja and this season not so much; she likes having a drunk buddy. Her treatment alone of Tinsley this past season should have gotten her fired on the spot! Look at other Bravo shows and people who have been fired. The whole incident w/Scott and John and $ lending from a few seasons ago says it all. Dorinda is vile and it’s pure venom spilling from her. So happy they showed the tape and Tinsley finally defended herself. Hopefully, they won’t have her back! Wonder if she’s ever sober for an hour and actually watches herself? Doesn’t seem like she does! Great inspiration for her daughter! Tired of all the excuses for her gross behavior – Richard, a flood, remodeling! Show needs some new energy.
What does it say about Bravo when production actually feared for Tinsley being in the house w/Dorinda a few seasons ago after the Scott/John $ phonecall? Pretty scary what they allow! Let’s also not forget Rinna threatening Kim w/broken glass and again threatening her with texts. Rinna should have been gone seasons ago!!
In regards to Dorinda, what would Richard think of her behavior? WWRD?
Ramona’s saving grace this season was that she tried many times to talk to Dorinda about her behavior. Almost like she knew Dorinda was on thin ice with the show.
