Top 5 Most Outrageous Dorinda Medley Moments on RHONY

Dorinda Medley has given us some truly spectacular Housewives meltdowns. From screaming about making it nice to heckling Luann’s cabaret, she has rarely been boring. Here are five of her most outrageous RHONY moments.

1. “I MADE IT NICE!” — Season 8

This is the obvious choice for number one. At Blue Stone Manor, Bethenny and Luann are fighting, Luann mocks Dorinda’s mother’s birthday cake, and Dorinda finally loses it. She launches into a full-scale tirade about everything she did to make the evening special, culminating in the immortal “I made it nice!” It is one of the defining RHONY moments of all time.

2. “CLIP! CLIP! CLIP!” — Season 9

During a lunch in the Bronx, Dorinda is hungover, drinking, and increasingly irritated with Sonja. When Sonja keeps talking, Dorinda starts yelling “Clip!” while making the accompanying hand gesture. The situation escalates until Dorinda is calling Sonja a fool and an asshole. It is completely ridiculous and completely Dorinda.

3. The Mexico Dinner — Season 10

During the Mexico trip, Dorinda gets extremely drunk during dinner and ends up stabbing her own hand with a knife while arguing. There is something uniquely unhinged about watching someone get so angry that they accidentally turn the argument into a fight with their own hand.

4. “Not Well, Bitch!” — Season 9

Dorinda delivers one of her greatest lines during a confrontation with Sonja: “I’ll tell ya how I’m doing: Not well, bitch!” It became one of Dorinda’s signature phrases and perfectly captures her particular combination of anger, alcohol, and verbal precision.

5. “JOVANI!” — Season 10

Dorinda attends Luann’s cabaret and repeatedly heckles her by shouting “Jovani!” Dorinda was angry because she felt Luann wasn’t sufficiently appreciative of the role she had played in connecting Luann with Jovani, which provided her dresses. The heckling became so memorable that Luann eventually turned “Feelin’ Jovani” into a cabaret song.

Dorinda may have made it nice, but she almost never made it peaceful.
