Dorinda Medley is negotiations for a new reality show at Bravo, it is claimed – four years after she was fired from The Real Housewives Of New York City.
In the intervening time, she was welcomed back into the Bravo fold to appear on the spinoff The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
During the second season of that show, she welcomed a claque of her co-stars to her opulent Berkshires country house Bluestone Manor.
Now, she reportedly may star on a whole new series about her and her young staff at Bluestone Manor playing host to her visitors.
She has entered talks with the network for the potential project, but development is still in its preliminary stages, according to Page Six.

Bluestone Manor was built in the Tudor style in 1902 and features four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a swimming pool, a gourmet kitchen and a billiards room.
The sprawling 18-acre estate was the scene of multiple dramatic vacations that were captured on camera for The Real Housewives Of New York City.
After she was fired, she worked with Airbnb on an event in which she welcomed fans to the mansion for two one-night stays in 2021, each of which cost only $100.
Fans of the Real Housewives franchise were able to marvel at Bluestone Manor when Dorinda opened it up again to Bravo cameras on Ultimate Girls Trip in 2022.
Real Housewives alumnae Brandi Glanville, Vicki Gunvalson, Phaedra Parks, Tamra Judge, Jill Zarin, Eva Marcille and Taylor Armstrong all holidayed at the estate.
‘You know, I’ve never really had eight people stay in the place for eight days, or seven besides myself,’ she confessed on SiriusXM later.
‘It was very action-packed. I definitely tried to be a good host. I did a great job sometimes and failed horribly at others, I’m gonna tell you right now everyone, so just be prepared, ’cause I got tired! I got tired,’ she confessed with a laugh.
‘But you know, it was a big production. There was like over 100 people here from Peacock, and you know, it was just very exciting,’ she recalled.

Dorinda was fired from The Real Housewives Of New York City in 2020 after six seasons, triggering a blizzard of rumors as to why.
An insider sensationally alleged to Page Six that Dorinda had developed a tendency to be ‘mean’ when drunk, leading to her departure.
During her final season on the show, Dorinda repeatedly clashed with her co-star Tinsley Mortimer, particularly when she joked about Tinsley’s fertility struggles.
Dorinda blithely quipped that Tinsley could use a turkey baster to impregnate herself – a punchline that Tinsley denounced as ‘vile.’
During the finale episode of that season, Dorinda raged that Tinsley had ‘ruined this show’ and accused her of breach of contract.

A source alleged to The Sun last autumn that it was this particular outburst that caused Dorinda to lose her job at the network.
‘Bravo hates nothing more than when cast members break the fourth wall. The second Dorinda did that, she basically put in her resignation!’ said the insider.
‘Producers hate when they bring the show into the plot. Sure, Dorinda isn’t the nicest drunk, but she tells it like it is.’
One year after Dorinda was fired, her former co-star Luann De Lesseps said the show had become ‘a little less angry’ since her exit.
‘I hate to say it because there was a lot of anger and a lot of [negativity] and I love Dorinda. It’s just the way it panned out,’ Luann told Us Weekly.
