IMHO the hag Ramona killed RHNY with her racism, her GQP leanings, and her hideous manner of treating everyone with belligerence & all the cruelty she could muster. Which was plenty.
We'll never know what really killed it, but she's the filthiest of all HWs.

Ramona refused to participate. I read it was Jill Zarin who tail-spun negotiations. Of course, it was Jill!

Ramona didn't do herself any favors, none. Neither did Sonia or Dorinda, they both got so drunk, I couldn't understand a word they said, neither could anybody else. I'm fine it isn't on, and we have newbies

Agree, Prism. And a little surprised at Andy for not stopping her sooner. But, money I guess. I also think Vicky is a close second to be crowned the filthiest housewife.

The Countess Luann has been throwing these cabaret parties in NY lately and had an event last night. Dorinda was thre and at first she was fun and getting the audience excited but as time went on and she drank more things got nasty and Security had to escort her out. I've never watched the Dorinda years from the show but from what I understand she started out pretty funny but now apparently has a really bad drinking problem, and it's sad. People need to stop enabling her and get her help. Also, someone threw up on Luann during the show. Goodness.

Dorinda needs help, she doesn't know when to stop drinking,I pity her, and her life.

Isn't she the lady that lost her husband? So terrible.
People have different personalities when they drink. There are happy drunks, mean drunks, and everything in between and she seems to be a mean drunk. If you know your personality gets mean when you drink, maybe you shouldn't be drinking. I hope she gets the help she needs because she seems to be in a terrible place.

I hope she gets the help she needs because she seems to be in a terrible place. She lost her husband in 2011( after 6 years of marriage) , she is still living in the past, it shows up when she's drunk. She has stopped drinking, she has had help, but this behavior continues..She needs serious help, or she's going to drink herself to death.

^I agree. She needs therapy for herself and the drinking issue. She's a mean drunk...have always thought that.

She really misses the life they had, they partied with some really high up people, she no longer has that life or sees the people. When Richard died, so did her lifestyle . I wouldn't want her to show up, especially if alchohol was being served.

Or maybe, besides the bright lights and partying with important people she just really, really misses her husband? There isn't a timeline on grief, and it can make you do things you wouldn't ordinarily do. I haven't watched this woman on the show so for all I know she could be a gremlin but I wish her peace and healing.

I think, and I have watched the show, that Dorinda misses Richard and the lifestyle she had with Richard. She often brings up who they met etc.. This is what I think, it's not a putdown, simply an observation. Her healing isn't going well, if she's quite often drunk out of her mind. Hopefully peace comes, and she stops drinking to take time to see what she has.

I don't think her lifestyle changed at all since his death. She got Bluestone Manor, she kept an apartment in New York -- actually she's upgraded twice. She goes out at least 3-4 nights a week while in the city. She's still hobnobbing with the NYC elite. I think she's just lonely and that's why she brings up Richard all the time; not missing the lifestyle but missing the companionship. She alludes to that a lot on her radio show.

IMHO, but I’ve seen this before:
Dorinda went from being a nobody to becoming through marriage an accessory for a Big Wheel in political, big money, and social circles; treated as if she was a very important player by people who used her for access to the DH’s lobbying and money machine. She became accustomed to being the prima donna who was catered to and indulged as if she was queen. Six short years of marriage made her think she’s someone she’s not. When the DH died, all those big time politicos and social players dumped her like the nobody she is. Her ego, her poor ego.
After the DH’s death Dorinda degraded to the B list of NY society, then further degraded to the D list of Bravo-lebrities, when she miscalculated that Bravo would push her back near the top. She’s been marginalized and actually shut out from the society she aspires to and mistakenly believes is her just due.
Probably Dorinda always had a weakness for alcohol but kept it under control until the floor dropped out from under her. So here she is today, and it’ll be a heavy haul to get her sane and sober, b/c it’s not just an alcohol weakness, it’s an identity crisis.

She can't even say she was let go from the show, Andy apparently had her on pause, but since she hasn't changed( drinking) I think her chances are slim to none, of coming back. Her lifestyle has definitely changed.

My friend saw them once at a cigar bar, and she said she was not very nice at all, but he was lovely. I think they both did coke, and that's why they were together.
On my cab ride home, I passed Sonja's townhouse....with the For Sale sign on it.

Not only does Dorinda have an issue with drinking .... (often I wish someone who loves her; her daughter, a friend, etc) would sit her down and have her watch herself on RHNY after she has had 1, 2 or more of those episodes where she is off the wall drunk and being so rude to her Castmates. (I had not read anything about use of drugs but if she is doing that too ...... ). BUT what I wanted to say was Dorinda can be so CONDESCENDING to the ladies . I saw (we all saw it) in every NY episode and ESPECIALLY on "Girl's Trip" when the ladies were at Blue Stone Manor. I mean come on, don't open your home up and have 100000 RULES for all to follow and BELITTLE the ladies when a cup of coffee is found in the room. Or someone wore their shoes in the house ........ And Dorinda telling anyone that is within 5 inches of her that she is PAUSED from RHNY ..... give me a BREAK. Really Dorinda ..... no one wants you back on the show. Ever. So is there going to be a RHNY show? Does anyone know? A new one possibly with ALL NEW LADIES?

Dorinda isn't going to change. I thought she would have mellowed after breaking off with John. Nope ...

Momrek06, agreed.
Dorinda can't regain the status of her short marriage to the wealthy politico guy- she loved it so much.
She has big money, but that's not enough for her. She's in a bad spot, probably will never be in a good place in her head again.
No powerful man in his right mind would marry her now... her reputation is too damaged by errant behavior.

Ohhhhh bother. Ramona. Say it isn't so. I certainly hope Dorinda remains on PAUSE (as she calls it).
