Dorinda Medley exclusively told Page Six that Teresa Giudice encouraged her to ditch New York City and star on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” with her.
“Teresa is like, ‘oh my God come over and film with us!’” Medley, 57, said while promoting her Bluestone Manor Bourbon at Creatures of All Kind in Brooklyn on Sunday.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, Giudice, and Giudice’s “RHONJ” co-star Dolores Catania recently starred on a “wild” panel at the Live! Casino & Hotel in Philadelphia last weekend.
“It’s just really good! It’s the two brunettes and the blonde, and we have great energy together, and I genuinely like them I think when you have anything authentic on 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 gotten close over the years because of the “Real Housewives” franchise and Medley attended Giudice’s wedding to Luis “Louie” Ruelas on Aug. 6.
“It was epic,” Medley gushed. “Not great – epic! It was one of the most fun times I’ve had in a long time, and she looked beautiful and she’s just happy.”
The “Make It Nice” author raved that she “forgot how happy you are when you’re that much 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’s been casually dating here and there, she’s waiting for the weather to cool down to get serious – or as she puts it, “putting on my heels for the winter!”
