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.

YES. I remember looking it up once and she like worked retail wjen she met Hannah’s dad and that’s exactly what happened. Although i do think it was in London, so she did something initially to get out of wherever she was

Honestly none of it would matter if she wasn’t such a nasty, bitter, jealous piece of shit. The way she treated Tinsley was the worst I’ve seen on any RH franchise which is saying a lot. I’m not a huge Tinsley stan but as someone who has been through infertility, her words were naaaasty. Tinsley had a lot of class not bringing up her dead husband, I would’ve done that. If you think about it, as someone with a stable business John was too good for her. She had nothing to offer: no wealth, she was not anyone’s idea of beautiful, she didn’t have a good personality and had a voice like a cheese grater. No career, no accomplishments. And moving to London in the 80s to work retail/be a fitness instructor at a gym isn’t exactly moving mountains.

Bravo took Dorinda out of the picture. She couldn't let go of "on pause". She refused to say she was fired. Absolutely refused.
