“You'll see how the whole thing unfolds,” she told Entertainment Tonight about the fallout between Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill. “It really does unfold over, like, eight episodes. So, for me to even sit here and say, this is the one thing, it wasn't.”
“You know, some people are lung to tongue, and the other people, some people like to think about it and slowly let it come out,” Dorinda notes. “They're more listeners, observers and commenters, but it doesn't mean you're any less involved. This year, [Carole’s] a little more lung to tongue.”
“She's a very strong woman and she likes to speak the truth,” Dorinda explains. “This year, she was like, dammit, I'm gonna speak the truth. Listen, they had a very strong relationship, a very close relationship, but sometimes, as I said to both of them, things change. Doesn't mean the friendship's over.”
“They'll figure it out and come back together,” she adds. “It might just be a little different.”
Despite the drama between Bethenny and Carole this season, Dorinda says there’s hope for a reconciliation.
“I mean, no one, no one died, you know?” she says. “At the end of the day, they'll work through it and they'll just settle. Haven't you ever had that? Where you just sort of have to readjust.”
Dorinda admits she was surprised to see Carole and Bethenny reach a breaking point, but notes it will make for good television, as the group’s dynamic shuffles as a result.
“I think what's interesting is to watch how the other relationships develop,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I think the group's fantastic. We're all strong characters, we have a great dynamic -- we're very comfortable around each other, which is such a great thing.”
Dorinda also teased about the show's upcoming Colombian trip where the ladies allegedly found themselves in a cruise trip from hell.
“I mean, I don't really want to comment on it, 'cause it's sort of an uncomfortable situation,” Dorinda told Entertainment Tonight about the alleged cruise from hell trip. “It wasn't a great situation ... it wasn't a positive experience.”
She continued: “It’s at the end, the end of the season,” she notes. “I see it when you see … so, I don’t know how they’re gonna [deal with it].”
If you recall back in February, multiple reports circulated claiming that RHONY cast were subjected to a boat ride gone horribly wrong while on their all-cast trip to Colombia. Alleged details include an engine on fire, a missing anchor and even water flooding the vessel, in addition to cast members reportedly going home in adult diapers after contracting parasites while abroad.
At the time, Bravo issued a statement that read in part, “The safety of our cast and crew is paramount and, to that end, we are still reviewing the situation.” Now, Dorinda says she’s still processing the “traumatic moment,” which may or may not make it to air.
Andy Cohen previously admitted that the reports about the cast trip were “grossly misrepresented.”
“Much of what has been reported of the boat trip is completely wrong,” he told ET at that time. “They did have a squirrelly boat trip, but there was no fire. The boat didn't sink. I mean, it's been grossly misrepresented.”
