Dorinda Medley and Tinsley Mortimer served us all the drama in the opening episode of Season 12 of ‘Real Housewives of New York’. Although Dorinda and Tinsley never really had anything against each other, things went south between the duo, when Dorinda accused Tinsley of not being entirely honest about the nature of her relationship with her on and off boyfriend Scott Kluth.

The two ladies got into a very heated argument during the reunion, which still appears to be hanging in the air.
 
The two housewives pick up where they left off and begin feuding again. Tinsley pulls Dorinda aside at a party, and expresses her desire to keep all their issues behind them and start afresh. Dorinda agrees but has a few conditions for Tinsley before they proceed. She tells Tinsley that the latter needs to be “transparent and tell the truth" if they are about to embark on a friendship.

Tinsley gets annoyed and shouts at her fellow housewife that though she is telling the truth, Dorinda isn’t hearing it. Things escalate between the two ladies to the point that they start yelling and calling names at each other. Although their fight hasn’t been resolved yet, fans are strongly siding with Tinsley and wondering why Dorinda is so interested in Tinsley’s life.

A fan tweeted, “Love Dorinda,  but wth is her problem with Tinsley? So what if she goes back and forth with Scott. She doesnt have exactly a conventional relationship with John. Get off Tinsleys a** Dorinda and make it NICE. #RHONY #makeitnice.” Another fan wrote, “I mean, I love Dorinda and have no use for Tinsley, but why does Dorinda think she is entitled to know Tinsley’s personal business? #RHONY.”

“#RHONY Tinsley doesn’t owe Dorinda any explanations about her life.  Dorinda needs to get a life and keep her nose out of everyone else’s business!  Such a shit stirrer!” echoed another fan.
 
Fans were also happy to see Tinsley standing up to Dorinda instead of allowing herself to be bullied by her fellow housewife.  A fan wrote, “Finally Tinsley is being more assertive. Dorinda gets nastier and nastier with each passing season. That comment about not laying on her back as opposed to Tinsley is straight outta NeNe's book. #RHONY.” Another fan wrote, “I’m proud of Tinsley. She stood up to dorinda and didn’t allow dorinda to completely railroad her. She had Dorinda a little bothered imo #RHONY.”

“That’s right Tinsley. You stand up for yourself. Dorinda has no legitimate reason to be gunning for her. #RHONY,” cheered a fan.
 
‘Real Housewives of New York’ Season 12 airs every Thursday at 9/8c only on Bravo.
