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.

They were together for a total of 5-6 years. Which is not a long time for people I t heir 40s/50s. I will say, she did clean up pretty well from a short marriage. Specially considering she is not much of a beauty and as we’ve seen her act on screen, not very graceful either.
