A Medley rep denied the claims to Page Six, explaining that she left early Saturday night because she was suffering from a “routine cold” and “didn’t want to embarrass others”.
“She wanted to make her exit before the crowd leaves so she wouldn’t expose others to her cold. She arrived right at the start of the show for the same reason.”
“She was never drunk and never made anyone cry. One of Luann’s cabaret employees was kind enough to order her an Uber to get her home safely.”
“The club never asked her to leave and you can confirm that she would always be welcome back,” her publicist added.
However, the publication received video from the event showing Medley dancing near other spectators.
A viewer also told Page Six that they saw Medley appear to be “drunk” and get into an argument with a co-worker.
‘If we have [to the lobby]it seemed like she was in a conversation with someone, a young manager, so we waited for a picture, but we quickly realized that this wasn’t a conversation and Dorinda was yelling at the woman and walking in her face,” the woman claimed.
“She was clearly drunk and got more and more drunk as the show went on, and she kept jumping up to get on the show while Luann was on stage. The way she acted on ‘RHONY’ was exactly how she acted that night.”

The woman also claimed she saw Medley yelling at a staff member.
“One of the staff told us that on the way out [Medley] was drunk and rude to the staff and that’s why they asked her to leave, especially since she thought she didn’t have to pay her bill, which started all the madness,” the source added.
Medley denied the allegations during a recent Instagram Live: “No, I wasn’t escorted — I left because I was tired,” she said, laughing.
Medley’s drinking habits have previously been named, and in 2020 Page Six announced that she was fired from RHONY for being a “mean drunk.”
It comes after news that talks for The Real Housewives Of New York: Legacy had stalled.
However, fans hoping to see the original RHONY stars reunite on the small screens for the Legacy Edition recently learned of some disappointing news about their new Bravo show.
It was reported that Bravo “lost interest” in Real Housewives of New York City: Legacy due to a dispute over how much the cast should be paid, according to Page Six.
Last year it was announced that a major overhaul of RHONY would take place, essentially splitting the series into two parts after 13 seasons.
The Legacy cast is said to include Dorinda and Luann, as well as Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan and Jill Zarin.
