The Real Housewives franchise has produced some very special women, and there is one in particular who continues to shine on every episode — Dorinda Medley. The Real Housewives of New York City star is a true treasure and deserves to end up in the Real Housewives Hall of Fame (which should totally become a thing). Dorinda's amazing quotes are probably the best thing about her, and in fact, many of her lines are useful for everyday situations.
Never has there been a Housewife who has reacted to situations like Dorinda does. Whether she's coining a new catchphrase, stealing a scene for getting heated, stabbing her hand at the dinner table, or telling off Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan for their room-claiming madness, Dorinda has managed to make RHONY even more entertaining thanks to her words.
Out of all of her co-stars, she has the best quotes — and that says a lot, because this group of women is hilarious. However, there is something magical about what Dorinda says. She's like that one friend you always wish you had by your side when you're at a loss for words. Really, Dorinda should teach a class on how to handle everyday situations. Until that actually (and hopefully) happens, here are some of her best quotes for you to memorize when you have no idea how to respond.
