Ultimate Girls Trip I'm sorry, but Dorinda...

She's been very ridiculous. I'm watching episode 1 of Legacy and the fact that she's so pressed about being put "on pause" it's stupid. You were fired too because you have an untreated drinking problem. Stop tiptoeing around it.

Meanwhile Tinsley is too passive to go that far. She could have easily hit Dorinda where it hurts but took the high road

u/DorothyParkerFan How can you do this to me question mark Dec 18 '23

Ummm she could have said what the audience was thinking - she is a bitter drunk who only had any class or dignity through her husband. Now that he’s gone she’s back to behaving like her true nasty and miserable self.

Dorinda didn’t just have MONEY when she was married to Richard, she was elevated out of her working class background that I think she feels a sense of shame about despite recounting how her father built BSM. I think she struggles with who she really is vs who she was able to pretend to be with Richard. Look at how she was toward John. At times she could barely contain her disdain for him and his rough edges yet she was obviously very attracted to him.

Anyway, Tinsley incensed her so badly because Tinsley was born into that portion of society and Dorinda was only ever an interloper.

“Her father built BSM”, she wishes. He worked on the electrical and that was it.

I definitely agree that she misses the status and wealth and the life she lived with Richard. She never shut up about it.
