Nice, Page Six also interviewed some members of the audience who were reportedly in the venue. The two confirmed earlier anonymous accounts of Dorinda appearing “drunk” and allegedly getting into a shouting match with staff.
One of the alleged eyewitnesses as Donna Carrera claimed:
“When you get it [to the lobby], It seems that he was in a convo with a man, a young female manager, so we waited for a pic, but we quickly realized that this was not a convo and Dorinda yelled at the woman and got in the face. The woman is very professional and accommodating. Dorinda is going on about how she actually brings liveliness to the show. It’s almost as if Dorinda thinks she’s the one who makes the crowd mad and makes them so happy.
Carrera added:
“He was clearly drunk and drunk as the show went on and he kept jumping up to get into the show when Luann was on stage. The way he RHONY exactly as he did last night.”

“One of the employees told me on the way out [Dorinda] drunk and rude to the staff and that’s why he asked her to leave, mainly because she thought he shouldn’t have to pay the tab which was the start of the madness.
