Thank you for this. I learn so much participating here. 💚

Nose jobs are like potato chips -- once you have one, you end up wanting another.

Ha - didn't surprise me. She was always nasty. She embraced being a HW to the point she thought she was above others and that's when her nasty side was exposed. She flatters herself a lot by looking down on others; Dorinda has always been a mean drunk. Birds of a feather will flock together -- that's what we're seeing here.

You're kidding, right? If not, you obviously haven't heard about landmark legislation passed in 1939 named 'California Child Actor's Bill' (aka The Coogan Act) designed to protect a child actor's earnings, enacted after Jackie Coogan (The Addams Family's Uncle Fester) won a suit against his parents for burning through the huge amount of money he made as a child actor. It has been revised few times since its enactment. It was passed with intent to safeguard a portion of a child actor's earnings until they enter adulthood. 80 years later it still protects young entertainers. When Big Kathy was married to Kim's father, he was wealthy enough to afford a residence for the family in Bel Aire. From what I've read, Kim received the payout of her savings when she turned 18. Six years later she married Greg Davis, the son of Marvin Davis, chairman of Davis Petroleum and who at one time owned 20th Century Fox, the Pebble Beach Corporation, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Aspen Skiing Company.

Oh - so I see you have a dog in this fight. harharhar

Agreed they have a reputation, but unless someone has proof, how do you expect them to call someone out on their financial transactions?

I don't know how many others may have responded to this, but Nicolette Sheridan was once married to Aaron (12/12/15 to 8/17/18), and also once married to Harry Hamlin (9/7/91 to 8/21/92 -- not even a year). As some have posted here, Denise hooked up with Heather Locklear's newly separated husband. Denise objects to Heather being characterized as a friend. They were actually neighbors, so the distinction I guess is valid. It might interest fans to know that Nicolette and Aaron were more recent neighbors of Denise Fucking Richards.

The reunions have spent way too much time on Denise. There was so much more that could have been talked about, but Andy kept going back to Denise who has gotten so slippery and revisionist that she's just not interesting anymore, let alone fun to see and listen to. I have to say Garcelle really hasn't delivered anything particularly entertaining and wish she could have handled herself much better than she did, making excuses upon excuses (first she didn't want to travel on such a small plane, then she couldn't get her ex to take the boys for a few days; at the auction first she vehemently insists she paid her pledge, then she says it was an innocent oversight) and I don't find her a very likeable or good addition to the group. I don't understand the big hard-on for Kyle that I'm seeing on posts from some of the fans. I think she has been kind to everyone even though she doesn't agree with Denise or Garcelle. She makes sense when she talks and isn't overbearing so I have to say she's still one of my favorites. Rinna has gotten too worked up regarding the Brandi situation and I'm tired of seeing her on the attack all the time. Her story has gotten overworked and she needs to take a break from the show to re-center herself because I think she can be entertaining. Loved seeing Ericka, Teddi and Dorit and have a new appreciation for them. Wish we could have had more from Sutton - I think she can be very interesting and entertaining if she just got more on camera time. They had good points and their delivery didn't suck like Rinna and Denise. I'm so glad they didn't have Aaron there -- actually can't stand the guy. I think Denise made the right decision to leave the show. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if Garcelle made good on her comment that she would leave the show if Denise left.

You don't have to be obsessed with Dorinda for your phone to send you stuff about RHONY even if you don't search it on your phone. I think you hit on the exact reason Dorinda knows she's never going to find another sucker like Richard. You just know she was out and about a respectable time after Richard's death -- a well to do widow of a certain age. What she found out was that men in her age group are looking for women 15-20 years younger. With her drinking and confrontational personality, it became clear there weren't going to be any prospects. None. After months of no eligible callers for Dorinda, Richard's friend John Mahdessian rings her up and tells her how sorry he is about St. Richard's passing, how beautiful she is and how unfair that she's alone. He proposes a friendly evening at -- oh I don't know, one of her favorite eateries where he plans on mentioning one of his can't-miss investment deals. And the rest is history.

I don't believe Andy is saying this because he thinks Dorinda is coming back. Andy has been promoting the idea that she'll be back because it makes him look like he hasn't closed the door on her. It might even be because it's an idea he's trying to mollify Dorinda with at the moment for whatever purposes he might have. In fact, Dorinda is the one who probably closed the door on herself if the reports are true that she had to agree to get professional help to keep her job. But because Dorinda denies with every fiber of her being that she's an alcoholic bully who needs help to change her behavior to something normal decent people can condone if not approve of. So she's history.

Talk about a NY housewife who has been less than transparent about her life. I guess the reason I don't want to hear more in depth about Sonja is because she's become such a loser. I don't think she seemed so lacking in personality when she first came on, but now .... yeesh! Just like her pal Dorinda who's still stuck on her better days and is doing damn little else but dreaming about the past.

That's how bullies operate -- Dorinda gets upset at her target and starts raising her voice, pointing her finger and making a scene. If her target says anything to defend their position, she immediately escalates to shouting, spit flying out of her mouth and arms flying, sometimes she physically advances on the target and gets up in their face. She begins to become unhinged and irrational in her attack on the target until there's nothing in the universe for the target except bully Dorinda going off on them. There are a lot of people just like her in the world, unfortunately.

Awsome analysis. Since Dorinda judges Tinsley a gold digger, what does that make Dorinda, with her history marrying two wealthy husbands? Is Dorinda telling us she was only with those guys because of the money, so that must be Tinsley's motivation too? Makes me wonder what the source of Dorinda's rage actually is then. Richard let her down by dying and taking away the source of money that Dorinda is entitled to? I wonder if she resents that Richard left a lot to his kids and there was not a thing she could do about it and maybe that makes her angry too? Because if she got it all, then she wouldn't have any money worries today. I find the whole thing thought provoking, and I sometimes can't resist psychologically picking apart some weirdo person's brain.

Thank you so much for this. I get so tired of this attitude that unless someone is a violent criminal, punishment of non-violent crimes should take a different path than a jail stint. Stiffing businesses with phony checks, prostitution, child molestation, theft of people's cars and household possessions, embezzlement, computer hacking and identity theft, welfare and bank fraud are all too minor to warrant jail time. Whole segments of our society live lives of crime (take a look at Joe Giuidice for example) and think nothing of breaking the law just because it's more expedient than playing by the rules mainly because they only get caught a small percentage of the times they've done it. It makes me sick that California is going to the no bail system where anyone who's arrested for anything except murder and robbery (I know I'm over simplifying here) are released immediately and we're supposed to just expect they'll show up for their court dates. The only thing I see that it will accomplish is inspire contempt for the law and create more criminals because there's no real penalty for anti-social behavior that is classified as non-violent.

Gen X, refers to the generation of Americans born between the mid-1960s and the early-1980s. The Brookings Institution defines the millennial generation (aka Gen Y) as people born between 1981 and 1996, as does the Federal Reserve Board Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years for Gen Z.

I doubt anyone actually believed Dorinda's charade about not knowing who "planted" the story. Also, I was thinking when I re-watched that scene seeing Sonja standing there agreeing with Dorinda like she always does, that perhaps the friend who planted the story was Sonja, but Dorinda was clueless and would rather blame Ramona anyway. Hey, maybe it was John taking his balls back from Dorinda's purse who called in the info.

I saw that same attitude from Dorinda when she was called out for the "turkey baster" comment toward Tinsley. She quickly said "it was in bad taste, and I'm sorry" in a very off-hand insincere way. And I'm sure if anyone mentioned it to her again, she'd scream, "I said I'm sorry, what do you want from me?"

After Dorinda's multiple jabs gleefully pointing out that Luann got a mugshot over her drinking, now Luann can counter "I might have spent a night in jail, but I did manage to keep my job, bitch".

Part 2 of the reunion again focused way too much time on Leah. Leah persists in saying Ramona was upset at her "dancing" at the birthday party -- since when is humping on someone at a party with your dress hiked up to your waist considered dancing? And no, Dorinda, Leah was not covered by a leotard. It was more akin to underwear strategically placed beneath her see-through dress (which, once it was hiked up was showing her bare ass cheeks). Yet she didn't seem at all worried about her daughter seeing her embarrassing display. Oh excuse me -- she "over drank" which sounds more acceptable than "got shitfaced". Funny how in her mind her drunken behavior is always excusable and she shouldn't have to apologize to Ramona for having broken her promise not to drink until she's out of control. Leah and Dorinda -- the denial twins. No wonder they got along like two peas in a pod. And all this to-do about Leah's bipolar diagnosis and her 12 year old asking about it. How is it she hasn't discussed such things with her kid? It's not as if it's criminal or something shameful so why should everyone be admonished to keep it in the closet? Especially since she openly discussed it in the 2016 article she wrote. Doesn't make any sense to me since she's constantly talking about wanting sex and her compulsion to talk about her genitals (or some guy's penis) in every episode. It makes me suspect Leah doesn't have a very deep relationship with her own kid. Since I've raised three of my own, I'm not ignorant of how much kids pick up on at her daughter's age. Of course that would mean that Leah would have to take the parental reins and have a discussion, and I doubt she's capable of that. In a couple of years I'm betting her kid will pass her up on the maturity scale. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we won't have to suffer through Leah's arrested development in Season 13.

I actually applauded Luann telling Sonja to shove it when Sonja went on about how Lu was "exploiting" her. I can't imagine that paying customers are going to Lu's cabaret show because they want to see Sonja dropping her dress.

Brilliant idea on a new career choice for Dorinda!

Damn that woman -- even taking a volleyball to the face and falling on her ass she still looks fantastic!

According to Dorinda, her entire life is one long "terrible time". I'd lay money her rib issue happened while she was blind drunk.

Amy played Dorinda way too cheerful to be on target. I would have enjoyed her imitation much better if she had focused more on nasty slurring drunk than what we saw. Maybe she has reason to be afraid to piss off Dorinda the same way the "source" for the RealityBlurb article obviously was.

Both Dorinda and Leah never really listen to anything anyone has to say. They are just so incredibly stubborn in clinging to their position come hell or high water that they have done actual damage to their own financial situations. Witness Dorinda's firing because of her refusal to seek help and Leah's refusal to accept the pay offer to appear in the show next season. So now they both get what they deserve -- zero.
