Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley is one of my all-time favorite housewives. She had us feeling Jovani, and made it nice for her co-stars. I was sad to see her leave after Season 12, but luckily, Dorinda found her way back onto our screens. Recently, Dorinda and Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell reflected on a memorable RHONY moment.
Candace Bushnell was almost removed by RHONY producers before iconic Dorinda Medley scene
Candace joined Dorinda and co-host Kiki Monique for SiriusXM’s Reality Checked. When Candace was asked if she had ever been asked to join RHONY, Dorinda answered for her. “Yes, you were. People have asked you to be on Real Housewives of New York,” Dorinda stated.
“Well, I did go on. Well, of course, there’s a famous time when I went on,” she said. “I’m doing not well, bitch,” Dorinda said, repeating the iconic line from Ramona Singer’s dinner party. However, Candace committed the cardinal sin.
“But I kept getting yelled at by the producers. I mean, first of all, I had no idea that there are so many producers on the set and they are watching you and I tried to talk to Carole Radziwill ’cause I’d known her for a really, really long time,” Candace explained. “Fellow writers,” Dorinda chimed in.
“Yes, and one of the producers came up to me and said, ‘Candace, you’re breaking the fourth wall. If you don’t stop breaking the fourth wall, we’re gonna kick you out,’ so I was like, ‘Ah, okay. Whatever,” the writer said.
“Well, we didn’t break the fourth wall,” Dorinda stated. “We made one of the most iconic scenes in history.” Candace responded, “Yes, exactly.” Breaking the fourth wall is fairly common now, but not at that time. “We weren’t allowed to break the fourth wall at all,” Dorinda added.
Of course, Dorinda was the first Faithful murdered in Season 3 of The Traitors. As for returning to RHONY someday, Dorinda isn’t ruling it out. “Sure, why not?” Dorinda previously remarked.
Real Housewives of New York streams on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
