Yeah that’s pretty much just a modified face shield that Ramona is wearing. At my workplace at least she would not be permitted inside the door in that.
I don’t feel sorry for Dorinda at all. She deserves all the financial stress and hardship coming her way - the irony is that she will probably try to find herself a rich man to help her out of it.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever looked forward to another reunion episode. Think she’ll get fired on camera??
Naw, that wouldn't make sense. Don't forget they let her make the announcement -- her announcement said it was her idea to leave.

Before I settled into NYC's more homey UWS, I lived, for a few years, on the UES. & I recall passing Madame Paulette, quite often -- the "royalty" of Blue Book Society's dry cleaning.
Nope. I, personally, never had the need to request its services...but...I can see how Dorinda might have 'mixed up' her hopes for a patrician lifestyle by connecting with owner John M., potential 'Dry Cleaner to the Stars!' ......
Alas... by 2019, was he 'Swanky??" Nooope. Filing for bankruptcy?? Yup! (Sadly, not unlike a slew of NYC's small businesses.) ☹️
In hearing about Dorinda's relationship with John, I remember hearing that she received "forgotten" designer pieces from the cleaners. But if you read some of the Yelp reviews in the link posted upthread, there were so many posts by people who tell of dropping off their beautiful garments never to see them again, and whose follow-ups were ignored. Reading them made it much easier to understand how Madame Paulette's with the fabulous reputation is sinking into the mire.

Well those sequined things she wears can't be cheap. Ugly, but certainly not cheap, along with redecorating her apartment twice and the refurbishing of BSM. She's probably tapped out.
Yes - perfect time to get the apartment she owns remodeled while she's living in the freebee. Except it looked far from done when we saw it a few weeks back which of course is actually a few months back. With dependability of contractors always in issue, it wouldn't surprise me if her apartment is in mostly the same condition today. And she might be having to pay for two apartments if the freebee deal gets rescinded and she has to start paying rent for the freebee in addition to the costs of keeping the one being remodeled. It sounds like a precarious position to be in.
Not to even mention the BSM project. I'm thinking she's possibly in debt for that one. Flood damage is such a bitch to repair properly, and in most cases your homeowner policy doesn't cover it. If she had flood insurance, perhaps insurance paid for some of it, but knowing how insurance companies like to operate, springing tricks like deductibles, exclusions and "replacement value" versus new construction, I wouldn't doubt Dorinda had to pay for a lot of the BSM repairs out of her own pocket.
Now with losing her fancy RHONY job and Dorinda not being emotionally stable, maybe suicide watch wouldn't be a bad idea.

That quote was very rehearsed.
Well that's disappointing. Because they still got it wrong. The saying goes: Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.

Andy: Leah, please elaborate on the vagina wings. Why did you get them?
Leah: This is actually a really crazy story.
Me: I actually am not interested in hearing it.
And by the way Leah, the vagina is not visible. It is the internal tube. I am so surprised that a generation of younger women, who claim to be so sexually aware and empowered, don’t even know the correct terminology. The vulva is the outer part of the female genitals and includes the opening of the vagina and the labia, which are the inner and outer lips. I hear this term used incorrectly all the time and it just drives me crazy! Come on, women!
It's as if some women haven't ever looked at themselves, and think you just refer to everything there as "the vagina" which of course is wildly inaccurate.
More than likely, Leah's tattoo is on her mons pubis. NOW do you know where your tattoo is, Leah?? I cannot imagine anyone having their inner -- ouch -- labia tattooed. And I'm thinking it would be difficult to tattoo the outer labia and be hardly visible unless it were shaved (waxed?) and the legs were spread. NO WAY it's in her vagina (can you imagine how difficult tattooing THERE would be?). Know your genitalia, ladies!

Big John’s dry cleaning business filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2020.
So much for the why the "rich fat Armenian" is of no further use to her. No wonder Dorinda is off the rails that he borrowed money from co-workers she hates and then filed for Chapter 11 (re-organization of business -- not belly-up which would be Chapter 13). I wouldn't surprise me to hear that in recent years Dorinda has blown through a shitload of cash.

I agree. (And my god, Dorinda is ugly when she goes there; she slips into shaming the way some of us slip into a hot bath on a cold night.) I think the comment was also meant to denigrate Scott, as well. Dorinda took a (patriarchal) whack at the father of Tinsley's child not being up to the task of providing Tinsley with manly sperm, the manly old fashioned way. (Scott can't get 'er done, so time for the turkey baster!) And shaming Scott's manhood is in line with Dorinda's reaction after Tinsley said, "I'm engaged, I'm getting married--" Gollum interrupted her and snarled "With no financial security".
Motherfucker, please. We all know Scott provided for John just fine, so why not Tinsley? ; )
My devious-perhaps-not-likely-but-OMG-so-juicy-speculative backstory: In the last twenty-four months, Dorinda's been bleeding cash - spending too much money on high end free range roast chicken - rare white birds from Columbia - she was getting drunk and throwing cash at wings and breasts like a coke lord at Vegas, getting all Scarface at her local deli -"SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!" - and then the money ran out, and the chicken carcasses piled up, and she went to John for help, and he didn't have the cash to save her, so he went looking to make good on her chicken debts, and he ended up taking money from Tinsley's man, and Dorinda found out - in MIAMI! - and called John ("You don't run game behind my back, ever. I don't want you to talk to Scott. He's not your friend. When I say to you don't do something, you better fucking well listen.") and like all emotional mobsters, she can't forgive the person who sees her for who she really is - a financial fraud, a drunk and a bully - and now Dorinda owes Tinsley all the chicken, but Medley ain't paying nobody no chicken money...
Didn't Dorinda also say (in a talking head) that she gave money once to someone in a wheelchair (because she assumed they were begging for money) but they were just waiting at the corner for the streetlight to change?
eta: She did! Full clip here (in which she calls the Black man over to take her wrap, and realizes he is not working at the restaurant, and then blames her assumption on his shirt - a shirt that looks to be a classic dress shirt, btw - and then in her confessional she talks about passing by a man in a wheelchair - who turns out to be a lawyer waiting to get on the midtown bus - and she ruins his Starbucks coffee by shoving a five dollar bill in his cup).
I have to hand it to you: This has to be the funnies thing about HWs that I've read in months!! Take a bow, film noire!

The clothes and hair: They all wore black!
Tinsley - GORGEOUS as always. Her gown is to die for and she looks fabulous in it.
Ramona - liked her hair, looked nicely slim in that dress.
Leah - kind of disappointed that she re-wore that outfit from Ramona's birthday party, and no surprises with her hair. She wore it the same style she almost always does which looks super good on her.
Sonja - hair was nondescript and the dress reminded me of the Star Trek logo blown up and bedazzled. Not impressed.
Dorinda - hair looked the way I expected, same pave-sequins style as usual. The dress looked great. I just hate her, though so moving on.
Luann - love her hair that style, she looked her same classic chic, loved the sparkly straps on her dress. Was it Jovani??
Driving Andy out of his mind at the start was one of my favorite moments (he deserves it). It was a little frustrating that the reunion focused way too much on Leah. Dorinda as usual had to start harassing from the beginning, and it was obvious she had decided to make Ramona the target for her venom. After thinking about it, I believe it's possible that Dorinda kept the gloves off Tinsley because she was told to lay off her.
I'm glad Ramona just sat there mirroring Dorinda's schtick, whatever she was doing, hand clapping, putting on a phony voice, whatever it took to let Dorinda know she wasn't getting under her skin. I loved Ramona's "Go to church!" in response to Dorinda saying Ramona had called Leah a whore.
With the question about Dorinda's drinking, I wasn't surprised she would rather criticize and insult Ramona than address it. And when is Dorinda ever NOT going through a lot? She goes through so much more than everyone else does in their lives, right? So she's earned the right to be an asshole whenever she feels bad. She sounded like a mob hitman threatening to ice someone in that phone conversation with John. Now that I think about it, Dorinda ALWAYS talks like a mob hitman. Gawd what did John ever see in her?
Sonja just sucks balls. She wasn't sloppy drunk, it was because of a diuretic? Puh-lease!! I doubt anyone watching was stupid enough to buy that story. She was showing off her face and neck lift, but I think she wasted her money. Sitting next to Tinsley and Lu, Sonja still looks rough. Then Sonja tried mightily to pretend to be supportive of Tinsley on camera while still staying true to her buddy Dorinda in disdaining Tinsley and her relationship. Nice going, Sonja -- you're such a bitch.
We hardly got a look at Tinsley's ring -- was it pear shape or oval? I tried to stop the recording, but just could not get a good look. I applauded when Tinsley refused to give Dorinda a scintilla of her focus when she was explaining leaving NY for Chicago and Scott's feelings about the show. She also showed the ultimate in class by saying "my friend Dorinda" when Martin asked who she was having trouble with. I was happy that Ramona and Lu both said they'd quit the show for marriage.
MOST IRONIC STATEMENT IN PART 1 OF THE REUNION: Dorinda saying: "I don't know if Tinsley has the ability to open up and be honest." It would be funny if it wasn't so twisted.

Dorinda in all her glory...
I couldn't recall this scene which I feel is something I would have remembered. Apparently this is "never before seen" footage. Dorinda is off the deep end. So glad she's gone.
I feel that she's behaving in a more subdued way on the reunion - as if she got a talking-to prior to starting.
Quoted from the above link:
"The reunion then aired some previously unseen footage from Season 11 of RHONY in which Dorinda appears to be talking to John on the phone during the ladies' trip to Miami as Sonja Morgan looks on. "I don't want you to talk to Scott. He is not your friend," Dorinda said. "So when I say to you don't do something, you better f--king well listen."
Who the hell does this bitch think she is anyway? Tinsley should have replied that Dorinda can eat shit and die, but of course that's not Tinsley's style.

"Cohen then confirmed that he’d be happy to welcome Medley back into the fold once she’s been “renewed and refreshed.”
A pause Cohen? We need a pause from you.
Andy's just making promises that he knows he'll never have to keep. Dorinda would rather commit hari-kari than admit she fucked up. I think in Dorinda's mind, she's 100% right at all times and has no problem whatsoever with alcohol.

Kyle would have a leg to stand on IF she had reached out to G or hell even G's business manager and said "hey remember that donation?" but she didnt reach out so again it comes across has she didnt care she never got the money for the charity she only cared cause it gave her ammunition for the reunion ... at no point did kyle say she said she would make the donation and i reached out to see why i never got it ...
And why exactly would reaching out to Garcelle be Kyle's responsibility? Charities have people whose job is to do just that, and my guess is that the charity had sent notice to whatever contact info Garcelle gave that it hadn't been paid. Likely more than once. How's that Kyle's bad?

I'm not a fan of Kyle's, but Garcelle came for Kyle in public when she "joked" about how not all the women were her friends. That was absolutely uncalled for (not necessarily Garcelle's feelings about Kyle, but as a hostess of the event, she chose to make one of her guests uncomfortable which is poor manners as she could have spoken privately with Kyle). I'd have a lot more respect for Garcelle if she'd just said yeah, that was a crappy thing to do instead of falsely claiming she was just joking.
Since race keeps being brought up, imagine if a white woman had stood up on that stage (rather than Garcelle) & said they were not all her friends in reference to a black woman (rather than Kyle)! Since Garcelle threw the first punch, I have no problem with Kyle returning said punch at the reunion. She owed nothing to Garcelle. Next time, make sure your business/finance manager pays your bills so it doesn't "innocently fall through the cracks" which is what Garcelle said happened AFTER saying Kyle lied about her not paying. Kyle did not lie, it hadn't been paid.
That said, I do like many things about Garcelle, but was very disappointed in her thinking it was okay to publicly humiliate someone & then say just kidding! Then immediately calling Kyle a liar, when indeed the $5,000 had not been paid. Garcelle strikes me as someone who cannot admit when she's wrong. Other than that, which for me is huge, I like other things about her but that was a big turn off...She said it "innocently fell through the cracks" & had not been paid AFTER saying on the reunion it was a lie!
Garcelle accused Kyle of being "full of shit" when she said Garcelle hadn't paid her charity pledge. Pretty nasty thing to say when she truly didn't know whether or not it had been paid.

Did I hear Erika call Denise a "motherfucker"? Miss priss married to the high powered attorney? What the hell is she so pissed off about?
Denise likes to smoke a lot of pot, hence the bloodshot eyes. When you're smoking pot it slows down your responses and it's difficult to fight back with quick comebacks when these bitches are attacking you. She's too slow on the take. That's my interpretation of Denise tonight.
Last season on camera Denise knocked back lots of tequila shots, so there's also that I'm sure.

Garcelle said that she emailed her business manager about it - I'm hoping that in Part 3 of the reunion, Garcelle comes in with the receipt email saying that she had already paid in full, Kyle.
I don't know about other folks, but if I've pledged 5 Gs to some organization, I'd have to transfer the amount from my savings and I'd damn sure know whether or not it had been done.

I wouldn't want this show to get super political or anything, but I'm glad they did touch race. Garcelle could never get away with Erika's attitude without being called an "angry black woman." If Rinna were black, she'd be called ghetto or a thug for throwing glass and sending threatening texts.
Ditto on Kyle. She does the whole wide-eyed, just being honest schtick, but she's far from innocent. She doesn't care about any of these women's families or reputations. She led the gang-up last season and again this season, and she waited until the reunion to ask Garcelle about the donation for a reason. She should have asked Garcelle about that off camera months ago, but she just had to make her look bad.
I think Garcelle was getting back what she was putting out there. Her claim that Kyle ignored her was completely bogus, and her nasty crack at Kyle from the podium at the charity event was unjustified and a bad look for a newbie.

The event was months ago. Why wait for the reunion to air it out for the first time? You didn't reach out privately in the interim to make sure the charity received the funds promised? Telling the audience the Black cast member doesn't pay her bills doesn't sit right. And I'm sure other Black viewers caught that. She wanted to weaponize that information to get back at Garcelle for not saying she was welcoming and every other slight during the season.
--
Teddi revealed the whole game. She said something to the effect of "She made us look like assholes." And that's it. They have been carrying out this plan and constantly repeating and bringing up the Brandi story because they thought she made them look bad. They turned what was a forgettable moment about bawdy conversation in front of children into some grand affront. They are ridiculous and at this point a bit loathsome.
Erika is fighting for that diamond. She was utterly forgettable and now she has too much dip on her chip at this reunion. She's turned all the way up over nothing.
I believe the word Rinna is looking for is gasbag. Indeed, she is full of hot air.
I don't understand injecting race into the issue. Kyle obviously has the facts that one of her cast mates made a pledge at her charity event that had not yet been honored. I doubt Kyle has anything to do with collecting the pledges made that day, and probably just saw it as a name on a list. As we saw, Garcelle wasn't really sure whether or not she had paid and said she sent an email to her business manager to find out.
From what I understand, most charities are run in a similar basic fashion. In order to have a bid paddle, you have to provide contact information. A list is kept of who has pledged and the amount. When the amount isn't paid by a certain date, a reminder sent by the charity goes out to the contact information provided. I doubt that the charity leaves it at a first contact and doesn't follow up, so there should have been some sort of heads up taken by whatever contact info Garcelle gave. Not saying it was her fault for not paying, but certainly she must have signed something giving her word it would be paid by a certain date and thus her responsibility to maintain her good name by paying according to her promise.

I knew the reunion would be a re-play of what's been happening all season, which I'm no big Denise fan but I'm tired of the whole thing now.
I think Garcelle revealed a blind spot in her thinking when she made the statement that having to teach her sons about how to handle a police traffic stop was something other races don't do.
I suppose it's easy to feel like it's only you, but in fact white people teach this to their kids too. My dad taught me (white) when I started driving that the police have a hard job to do and are under pressure by the very nature of their work. He told me it was important not to move in ways that would provoke suspicion and to follow their instructions immediately. I taught my sons the same thing. I told them right out that the police can kill you and if they view you as a threat they will. Not saying it's right, I'm saying I want my loved ones to be very careful and know how to avoid a problem. It's not just a black thing.

How does that show work? Was she looking for a millionaire?
I think it was Leah who was the millioinaire looking to be matched up. Patti Stanger, a self-proclaimed Third Generation Matchmaker, formed The Millionaire Club. She interviews the member to find out their preferences. Her recruiters go out and about looking for desirable singles to match with the millionaires. Then Patti throws a mixer party and the millionaire chooses two to have a mini-date with, and ultimately they choose the one they want for their master date.
It was a kind of fun show. Part of the fun was Patti interviewing the hopefuls and giving straight from the shoulder advice and pointers to the millionaires and hopefuls, all in an effort to produce a match, which sometimes did happen. Or at least looked like it had the potential to go the distance.

I’ve wondered that too. I think the parking garage may have some affect on the price. It may be noisy and there may be auto exhaust fumes that get into the house. Perhaps she put a good sized mortgage on the house when she worked through her bankruptcy. So you may be right about large liens on the property. She may be upside down once liens are satisfied and income taxes, if any, paid on the sale.
it would be so much better for Sonja to get out from under that burden but if she can’t walk away with enough to get a decent apartment she may be unwilling to let go.
I can't imagine a location next to a parking garage would be a bad thing in NYC. Sonja not being able to unload such a desirable property that I assume is a rarity on the NYC market makes me think the reason it doesn't sell is because it's overpriced for the terrible condition it's in. Having new carpet installed is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Old man Morgan probably stuck her with it in the divorce because he knew it would cost half its value to do a proper remodel/restoration.

As others have posted, Dorinda’s spewing vitriol about Tinsley is just bizarre and unwarranted. I don’t even know if I want to see Tinsley at the reunion because I don’t want to hear Dorinda go at her again. From episode one I watched Dorinda berate Tinsley again and again, for no reason what so ever. Tinsley should have told Bravo that she could no longer take the abuse and bullying, and that is what it was. Perhaps that is why Bravo agreed to let her go mid-season.
How is it possible that Dorinda’s family watch these episodes and don’t question her mental status? She needs therapy and medication. I’m sure we will just see her double down on her behavior at the reunion. I’m happy she is off the show and she is a Bitch with a capital “B”.Dorinda's family has known for a long time who she is. They're probably just glad someone else is the target.

‘RHONY’ finale: Dorinda Medley says Tinsley Mortimer ‘ruined the show’
https://pagesix.com/2020/09/04/dorinda-medley-says-tinsley-mortimer-almost-ruined-rhony/
from the article:
During Thursday’s finale, the women happily gathered at Sonja Morgan’s drag queen soiree, but the tides turned after newcomer Leah McSweeney tried to give a toast thanking former cast mate Tinsley Mortimer for introducing her to the group. Unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with Dorinda Medley, who herself got axed from the series for next season.
“No, I’m not doing that s–t,” said Medley, 55, as she interrupted McSweeney. “F–k you.”
“Are you f–king kidding me?” McSweeney, 38, asked.
“Sorry I’m not a part of that,” Medley responded. “I will not give Tinsley that. F–k you. I won’t. Tinsley almost ruined our show. You’re going to give a toast to Tinsley who left the show and breached her contract and left over nothing. You don’t mention her name.”
After McSweeney tried to explain the toast to co-star Luann de Lesseps, de Lesseps said Medley still needs to “grow” as a person.
“This is beyond my wildest expectations of [Medley] as a person,” de Lesseps, 55, told McSweeney. “She’s got work to do. When you don’t grow, that’s a great example over there. There’s a lot of pain and lot of s–t going on in there.”
This is exactly the nasty stupid ridiculous dumb shit that Dorinda does time and again that makes me hate her exponentially, and probably why everyone around her who has to deal with it is why she finally got her ass kicked off the show. It's so lowdown mean and shitty of her when she could have just kept her mouth shut and not lifted her glass. But NO - she has to make a big fucking screaming foaming-at-the-mouth scene. Who does she think likes seeing such pure hatefulness episode after episode? So glad I never again have to see the ugliness that is Dorinda ruining my show.

Denise Richards: Drop Dead Gorgeous Wild Thing
in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
· Edited by Anne Thrax
Just click on the link -- I didn't have to do anything besides read. But it doesn't say anything we haven't already heard about her a thousand times already. The comments are kind of fun, though.
