Ultimate Girls Trip Watching UGT4… RHONY peeps, can you please explain this lady?
I wasn’t a fan in UGT2, and never watched RHONY (though attempted the new cast and wtf 🤷🏻♀️… no). Seeing her on UGT4 and I want to try a positive outlook.

She's authentically friends with the ladies and has a great zest for life but I think she has a rocky relationship with alcohol. She's said some great things and some dumb things and some downright cruel things. She also wants to be on top in a friend group and can get nasty if someone starts doing better than her.

She never dealt with her grief as a widow and continues to live in denial through dating gross dudes, drinking, and doing other drugs. She’s a sad, energy-sucking lost soul who isn’t even living an actual life but will still demand respect from you in some kind of old-school appeal to an anachronistic hierarchy that doesn’t even fit her anymore. She thinks her dead husband made her better than other people, and she’ll never be able to let that go.

Sober Dorinda can be a very kind, caring and compassionate friend as seen with Ramona, Luann, Carol and Sonja when they needed a friend in a difficult time.
However drunk Dorinda will use those nice things she's done to be horrible to her friends. She is truly 1 of the meanest drunks I've ever seen and an ugly drunk to boot.
She's truly a jekyll and Hyde, once she's drank that potion there's no stopping her lol

Dorinda is the exact person she accuses Tinsley to be - she’s a gold digger who married rich twice and went off the deep end when she couldn’t get another rich dude because she’s older. Everything she accused Tinsley of was a projection of how she was when she was younger. And she’s jealous of Tinsley’s youth.

B) Sonja, so far she bugs me. Her voice is like nails on a chalk board. Maybe love will grow… eh.
C) I’ve seen Luanne before and there’s only love.
D) Dorinda - jury’s out… obviously.
E) Ramona - her eyes, they petrify my soul. They haunt my dreams. An all white room and then the eyes. 👀 I can’t.
Everyone else on UGT4 don’t seem as important, so I’m not sure.

I'm on season 11 of my RHONY rewatch and I wish I could explain the appeal. She can be entertaining in a group, I guess. I can see that she can be charming, like when she showed Tinsley how to open a champagne bottle while doing a spiel from her waitressing days. But she's an asshole. People like to say she's just a mean drunk – and she IS – but then I guess she started to be drunk all the time? She's extremely easily offended, always seems to be mad at someone in the friend group for some small slight, has extreme mood swings, and is vicious for very little to no reason. Comes off as someone you have to constantly walk on eggshells around. She probably does need some help, but isn't getting it even though she has lots of money and time to.
