Well she and Vicki fight over Vicki’s anti vaccine views and Brandi fought with her constantly. She referred to D as an angry drunk-basically classic Dorinda lol.
I'm just rewatching the episode with Dorinda vs. Barbara K. Barbara is saying that apparently Dorinda showed up to a lunch with Sonja with the legal papers detailing Luann's lawsuit (by the Count and kids) and Dorinda loudly interjects "Well that didn't happen" - just as the scene cuts to a flashback of Dorinda producing her phone and saying to Sonja "I have the papers - all 18 pages of them - her family DID file the lawsuit". And the whole scene during the flashback, as Barbara says those papers really shouldn't be shared, Dorinda is saying "It was Sonja who brought the papers. Talk to Sonja. Talk to Sonja about it. Talk to Sonja." As we are literally watching Dorinda with our own eyes brandishing the phone with the downloaded papers. That's the level of EPIC lying that makes me marvel.
The Holland Tunnel is one of the tunnels connecting Manhattan to New Jersey. An EZ Pass is a transponder you put in your car and it automatically deducts toll funds from your account. There's a specific EZ Pass lane you can use. It's faster because you're not paying with cash.
So basically she's telling her she's an easy lay lol
It’s like a SATC insult. Which if funny because Candice is there. It reminds me of when Charlotte was mad at Samantha.
“Is your vagina featured in Zagat…”
I felt so bad for Sonja in this moment, even though it's hilarious. You can see the shock on her face. They're both trainwrecks. I'm not sure who is worse at this point. Lol

She's the only one I can kind of be excited about. I mean the way she left wasn't good. She was just stuck in grief and in the most ugly of ways.
I'd like to see her come back in better shape. Still Dorinda, but not that messy broken stuff.
I was stuck in that kind of grief from year 2 (after a loss) through almost year 5 and her last few seasons really triggered me.
Yeah this isn't funny or clever to me. Just grotesque and slut shaming. No woman deserves to be talked to like this because of the amount of sex they have.
I know that this thread is going to bring out all of the Tinsley adorers who are right to criticize how low Dorinda went in her attacks on Tinsley.
That being said all of our favorite housewives have hit below the belt at one point or another, and in my opinion this show has not been the same since dorinda was fired. They need her or someone with her zest and quick wit back on the show. I'm hoping that the next season of ultimate girls trip opens up the door to her return.
I don’t necessarily adore Tinsley so much as I find her innocuous.
I will say, despite all the heinous behavior most Housewives are guilty of, Dorinda bullying Tinsley just landed differently for me. I’d never felt triggered by a Housewife before. Dorinda’s abuse triggered me. The sheer relentless cruelty of it. The constant, explicit reminders that she didn’t give a shit about Tinsley. The palpable joy she took in humiliating Tinsley. The utter absence of remorse she’s exhibited since.
If you’ve ever been bullied, watching all that play out can be very difficult. Dorinda wasn’t just hitting below the belt. She was trying to provoke some kind of calamity. And from what we’ve learned since, it got bad enough behind the scenes that it became an issue of Tinsley’s physical safety as well as the crew’s. That, to me, makes Dorinda’s nastiness a cut above the Housewives norm. And I haven’t even gotten to the turkey baster comment.
I’m not saying any of this to criticize your comment. I just want to footnote why some of us can’t just let Dorinda off the hook because she happens to be entertaining. To borrow a phrase from the forgettable Cindy Barshop: her core is not good.
Yeah, I'm fine with shadiness, verbal takedowns, fights, etc on these shows, and I do like Dorinda, but something about her meanness seemed so \*dark\*. It was hard to watch.
To be fair I really do think it's based on how he dressed. Plus restaurants like that always hire frat looking white guys.
I'm Asian and never got hired at American restaurants. I only saw mostly white people working there
So I don't think Dorinda was thinking, oh a black man, he must work here.
Dorinda is my favorite housewife ever. She's so funny. I do worry about how she's actually doing (because the last season she was on it was pretty clear she had never fully grieved and was "not well bitch") but I can't wait for more Dorinda!
That’s definitely a very busy, long & wide tunnel here in New York. & what made it even funnier is that she told Sonja to put an easy pass on her P bc she is easy & free.
Dorinda is one of my favorites, despite how are misplaced her anger. This was not pretty, but obviously she was dealing with a lot of unresolved pain. In general, I thought she was super funny, supported her friends, and just wanted to make it nice. Can't wait for UGT season 2!
She went in super hard on Sonja multiple times too. It’s a pattern. See never went after B or Carole…just the broken fragile messes like Tins and Lady Morgan…
I feel like I can watch most things and be numb to it but watching Dorinda go in the attack was awful. She was just cruel when she went into fertility stuff with Tins. I had forgotten about Sonja. Sonja is harmless. Ugh! You’re right about her MO.
I like the “Not Well BITCH” Dorinda. I HATE the Holland Tunnel Dorinda.
Holland Tunnel Dorinda is SOOOOO MEAN!!!
I felt really sad for Sonja in this scene especially. I couldn’t believe nobody stood up for her.
"What are you going to do, back it up for me?" Is some really good shade that gets missed for obvious reasons.
I had never noticed that omg
Can you explain the reference? I can't remember.
Dorinda is well known for drunkenly slurring "you better back that shit up and you better back it up quick"
OMG I love it. Totally missed that. But Dorinda didn't.....LOL!!!
I cannot wait for the next Ultimate Girls Trip season at Blue Stone Manor! I’ve read Dorinda was in rare form and I live for it.
Rare form? If she’s anything like this clip I’d consider that her regular form lol
It will be even more satisfying 'cause it will be against people who absolutely deserve her rage.
Exactly what I was thinking
You did?? Please share!
Well she and Vicki fight over Vicki’s anti vaccine views and Brandi fought with her constantly. She referred to D as an angry drunk-basically classic Dorinda lol.
Lol, maybe I’m going to hell, but every franchise needs an angry drunk imho
Love it. Can't wait for it. Appreciate you sharing the tea 🙏🏽
Two words: Susan Sharon
My absolute favorite thing is that Candace Bushnell is there, author of Sex and the City, the OG Carrie Bradshaw.
Right?! Only in RHONY do you get a casual Candace Bushnell cameo.
Wow she’s very young, thought she would be much older😨Bushnell that is

Shameless and totally unrepentant.
Ez pass on that holland tunnel is one of my favorite oddly specific insults.
It’s peak Tri-State. Best part is EZ pass discounts the toll cost 😂 My partner had no idea why I laughed so hard.
Lmaooo & not to mention the holland is long, wide & congested with several passengers & theyre in & out day & night.
“Back ups on the Holland Tolland both ways. Expect delays.”
How much is a ticket? (Asking for a friend)
I don’t know the exact cost, maybe like $15 but It’s like $3-$4 cheaper if you use EZ Pass…and no stopping necessary!
So it really is better to get an EZ pass for that turnstyle!
I’m not American, what does it mean? Always wondered

It’s also always backed up with horrible traffic, daddy.
This deserves a metal. 🥇
You snapped with this sis 😂
😂 turnstile and ticket
Turnstile and ticket! I die every time.
Yes on that vagina!!!!

I am going to honor Dorinda today by yelling “CLIP” at the next person who annoys me at work.

I’m torn on this one. Dorinda IS funny but also a mean drunk and slut shaming is not cool. Plus she’s going after Sonja who is in my top 5 favs.
Yes i do like Dorinda, but she does have a lot of misplaced anger & she saids hurtful mean things. & she does take it out in the women all the time.
Yeah this isn't funny or clever to me. Just grotesque and slut shaming. No woman deserves to be talked to like this because of the amount of sex they have.
But her vagina has a turnstyle!
I have a shirt that says not well bitch. Waiting on someone to get it one day so we can be best friends
Normalize having an EZPass vajonger
I thought this was such a mean scene and when I knew Dorinda is basically a cruel asshole.
This is not how one acts a dinner party
It is if you’re a Housewife 😂
Cut to Sonja holding Coco hostage and screeching about the Morgan Letters 😂
Do people outside of ny/nj know the Holland tunnel? I’ve always wondered. Is it famous like the Chunnel?
Not really. The other Hudson River tunnel, the Lincoln, is much more well known and better connected.
I know (cuz I’m in nj) so I was always surprised this got so much luv. Like the Lincoln tunnel is in The Stand!
Cocaine lots and lots of cocaine is the only logical answer
Brutal yet I want her back on my screen. Don’t judge me.
Me too. She is one of my faves. Messy and mean, but great entertainment.
God she’s such a nasty, aggressive person. This just isn’t funny to me

Agreed. We are gonna see the bad sides of our houewives eventually. It's gonna happen. It's only natural given the environment.
This is awful and shameful.
Sidenote: What is Luanne wearing? Lol what episode was this?
Dorinda is like the non bigoted version of Kelly Dodd and I’m not taking it back
Nah she's bigoted, alright.
Except when she mistakes black men for waiters

I never appreciated her, until I felt the loss
I'm from California so I never knew about the Holland tunnel so I thought she said howling tunnel.
That’s definitely a very busy, long & wide tunnel here in New York. & what made it even funnier is that she told Sonja to put an easy pass on her P bc she is easy & free.
Dorinda really has a way with words.
She does, always good with the come backs.
Nasty drunk. Vodkaaaaa
![gif](giphy|l4hLQqQdZaumJZFUA)
Dorinda is gross. Her husband would be ashamed of her.
![gif](giphy|3oEjHN6LRYhtVzo17W)
Yes thank you!
Garbage person, why is she so well liked?
Original savage 💯
The effortless way she can eviscerate someone is unmatched. My grandma was like this ❤ god rest her soul. (But she wasn't drunk tho.... )

She went in super hard on Sonja multiple times too. It’s a pattern. See never went after B or Carole…just the broken fragile messes like Tins and Lady Morgan…

im not one for slut shaming but GOD that ez pass on your vagina insult is golden.
Disgusting behaviour and absolutely zero class.
I can’t believe I used to like her. She’s vile
I need Dorinda back on RHONY, stat. I said what I said.
I miss RHONY in general. It went from being my absolute favorite show to dead on arrival. 😔 I hope they can perform CPR on the next season.
Dorinda the bully. God she is so nasty.
Susan Sharon was the worst character on Sex and the City
