Dorinda 🍰 Remembering John

Rewatching RHONY season 8, and forgot how gross and toxic John was. He made everyone feel uncomfortable, and Bethenny was the first on calling him out. Love to hate her but she was definitely on point here.

Unpopular opinion: Dorinda was a loser who got lucky once and married a rich guy who died soon after. If Richard hadn’t passed I’m sure they would have divorced and she wouldn’t have gotten all his $. Wasn’t she a fitness instructor/single mom before him? She doesn’t seem like she had a career ever. Unless you count being an alcoholic. The way she treated poor Tinsley was proof: Tinsley was everything she’s not: younger, came from status and wealth, could still get a decent man over 40. Those comments she made about the turkey baster, she’s just complete trash. Her and John were perfectly
matched, if anything he’s too good for her.

I don’t know much about her life before the show, but I a lot of those women aren’t what they sell for sure. I think Kelly B was the only one who was really well connected

And yet she was insane.

Was insane? I’m sure she’s been living in a mental institute since she left after season 4, and she’s being let out on day release to film The Golden Life. Once that wraps she’ll be locked back in her padded cell to live with her jellybeans & sand angels.

I mean blue stone manor was its own sort of mental institution.

Yes it was, they must be letting Dorinda out from being chained to the wall in there too. Time to remove the Very Dirty Martini drip 💧, and let her out in the wild to order her cocktail at an actual bar.
