Dorinda Medley was a popular “Real Housewives of New York” cast member for Seasons 7-12. During that twelfth season, her drinking appeared to be more than a little problematic, leading to Bravo putting her on “pause.” Since then, Dorinda has popped up on various other Bravo projects and her fan base remains strong.
On a recent episode of the SiriusXM show “Reality Checked,” Dorinda admitted that she believes that Bravo no longer likes her.
Fans Still Miss Dorinda Medley
BravoKiki Monique is a blogger for Bravo, and she also co-hosts the SiriusXM show “Reality Checked” with Dorinda Medley. Mary Cosby of “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” hung out with the ladies on Sept. 9, 2025. The trio ended up chatting about all things Bravo, and Mary insisted that people miss seeing Dorinda on their television screens each week.
The conversation then focused on Dorinda’s former franchise, “Real Housewives of New York.” The reboot didn’t exactly work out as Bravo had hoped, and an initial RHONY legacy series was also shelved. Naturally, both Kiki and Mary assumed that Dorinda might have some intel on what was happening behind the scenes. As it turns out, they were wrong.
“I don’t get any [updates],” Dorinda said and then joked that her lack of information is because she is “no longer liked at Bravo and not part of the Bravo family anymore.”
“That’s not true,” Mary quickly replied, as Kiki jumped in and agreed, “You are loved.” Dorinda was then quick to admit that, regardless of how the network may feel about her, she still has a great deal of love for her Bravo family.
SiriusXM shared part of their conversation on Instagram.
Has Dorinda Really Fallen Out of Favor at Bravo?
GettyEven if there is the slightest shred of truth to what Dorinda has said, she hasn’t fallen out of favor with everyone, because her former co-stars still show up for her. The latest episode of “Reality Checked” features an interview with RHONY OG, Luann de Lesseps, proving that the women are still on good terms.
Do you really believe that Dorinda may have worn out her welcome at Bravo? Or is she feeling a bit underappreciated since she’s not on their radar at the moment? Would you like to see her return as a series regular, or do you prefer Dorinda in smaller doses?
