Was Dorinda Medley fired from ‘RHONY’? Reality star dubbed ‘insecure’ for fighting with Kristen Taekman over exit from show on 'RHUGT'
SALINE BEACH, ST BARTS: On August 25, 2020, it came to light that Dorinda Medley was fired from 'The Real Housewives of New York City'.
Insights from the show's insiders indicated that Dorinda's termination stemmed from her purported failure to take responsibility for her drunken and unkind conduct.
Her insensitive remarks concerning co-star Tinsley Mortimer's fertility challenges, along with her breaking of the fourth wall, were additional factors contributing to her removal from the show.
In a recent 'RHUGT' clip, Dorinda engaged in a heated argument with Kristen Taekman.
The dispute escalated when Kristen, amid an altercation, stated that she didn't need to be part of 'RHUGT', implying her life was thriving without the show.
Kristen asserted that, like others, she received a call to join, but she didn't feel the need to be on the show. Dorinda took offense to this, asking Kristen if she believed others needed to be on the show.
Furthermore, Dorinda pointed out that Kristen was "outright fired" from the show, unlike herself, who was "put on pause."
As Kristen asked Dorinda not to be "sensitive" about the fact that she was fired, the latter responded by saying, "You don't be sensitive because you were outright fired."
"I'm sick of Dorinda. And was sick of her for probably the last 3 years she was on. She was no longer entertaining for me. Just a mean drunk," a user wrote on Instagram.
"Dorinda hasn't changed a bit! And Kristen is right, they all got the call - fired or whatever, it doesn't matter... D needs to take a break!" wrote another.
"Oh Dorinda!! Give it up! It's embarrassing! Pause. Fired. It's all the same," a user added.
"Dorinda is delusional. She's so mean and insecure... Yes darinda the women need it!" added another person in the comments.
"Dorinda needs it alright. She's so desperate to be back on tv to prove a point, but got fired, everybody knows, it and she cant handle it. She's still an angry and bitter drunk and that's why she was "paused" in the first place," another person said in a scathing comment.
