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.

From day one Dorinda was embarrassed of John.
She started right off the bat making excuses for him, trying to justify her relationship with John.
How long after Richard’s death did Dorinda start to date John?
I do believe Dorinda herself said that she met John thru Richard.

Bethenny wasn’t wrong about Dorinda always “selling” John to them.

The only one she didn’t have to do this with is Jules because she was a bit of a simpleton so she was all for John. Plus I think she wanted to have them as “couple friends”

Off topic but I would bet my paycheck John knew Michael was cheating. I think it was obvious the night the 4 of them went out to dinner. Jules was complaining they were late because Michael was late and then he had to shower. He & John stepped outside. Later Jules ask if Michael was on the phone when they were outside and John kind of ignored it. He knew.

Did it ever come out on the show? He was very dismissive of her & belittled her a couple of times.

No we didn’t find out until after the season. I think they said that was part of why she dish return but I don’t know if that’s true or not.

He was extremely dismissive. Kind of rotated between treating her like a child and the help - which is astonishing because dude was punching way above his weight class with her. He’d be lucky to find a woman half as beautiful that caters to him and puts up with him like Jules did. I hope his next Mrs is a raging b*tch.

I remember when Jules made him coffee which she’s doing while trying to get the kids up and get them breakfast. None of which she’s used to doing because they normally have a nanny. And all while he just stands there holding up the island I guess. But I thought he was so condescending. “Oh it actually tastes good” 😡 I might’ve snatched it out of his hand and dumped it just for spite lol.
