Dorinda Medley spoke about being fired from The Real Housewives of New York during an interview in March 2022

Despite being fired from the franchise, Medley hasn’t been silent about her experience. When speaking to Today in March 2022, She shared what it was like being put on “a break.”

“Obviously nobody likes to be sidelined,” Medley told the outlet at the time. “Nobody likes to be rejected. It’s not a good feeling. I made a great face with everyone, wrote this beautiful statement on my Instagram. Then I went home to my mom and yelled my eyes out.”

Medley continued, “My mother said, ‘Rejection is protection.’ If you know now what you will know later, just send them a thank you note and just get on with what you are doing. Let’s get up and move on. I’ve had this conversation with my mom a million times about losing friends, losing jobs, raising young children, getting divorced, and my husband’s funeral. It’s pretty much the same conversation with her, just with a few simple changes.”

Sutton Stracke almost “went on hiatus” on Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

While filming Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Stracke almost followed in Medley’s footsteps and put himself “on hiatus.” While he appears in an October 2021 episode Us Weekly’s Getting Real With The Housewives podcastStracke admitted she almost quit the show after an intense argument with Erika Girardi, in which Girardi threatened Stracke, after asking about her ongoing legal troubles.

“Yes, I have [think of quitting] and not because of the show, it was just because of the threat, and I didn’t like it at all,” Stracke told the outlet at the time. “It got to a level that I wasn’t happy with, but we have such a great production team and I also have great friends on this show and they were just like, ‘Come on.’ So they picked me up pretty quickly.”

Stracke added: “I wasn’t afraid, not afraid for my life. I just didn’t like the behavior.”

Viewers can watch the final portion of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 reunion on Wednesday, October 26 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Bravo.
