Dorinda Medley told Vidak For Congress exclusively that Teresa Giudice encouraged her to ditch New York City and star with her in “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
“Teresa says, ‘oh my God, come over and film with us!'” said Medley, 57, as she promoted her Bluestone Manor Bourbon at Creatures of All Kind in Brooklyn on Sunday.
Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, Giudice, and Giudice’s “RHONJ” co-star Dolores Catania recently played on a “wild” panel on the Live! Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia last weekend.
“It’s just really good! It’s the two brunettes and the blonde, and we have a lot of energy together, and I really like them, I think when you have something authentic in the show… people feel it,” Medley continued.
Medley, who recently returned to reality TV for “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club,” and Giudice, 50, have become close over the years because of the “Real Housewives” franchise, and Medley attended Giudice’s wedding with Luis “Louie” Ruelas on August 6.
“It was epic,” Medley gushed. “Not great – epic! It was one of the best times I’ve had in a long time, and she looked beautiful and she’s just happy.”
The author of “Make It Nice” raved that she “forgot how lucky you are when you’re so in love.”
Medley joined several other “Housewives” — including her on-again-off-again friend and fellow “RHONY” alum Jill Zarin — such as “Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, and Kenya Moore; “Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Echevarria; “Real Housewives of Dubai” star Chanel Ayan, “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Ashley Darby and many other “RHONJ” stars.
As for her love life, Medley explained that while she was casually dating here and there, she’s waiting for the weather to cool down to get serious — or as she puts it, “on my heels for winter!”
