The Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer claimed she doesn’t think former co-star Dorinda Medley is ready to return to the show. Dorinda left the popular reality series after season 12. Since then, fans of Dorinda have campaigned for the former housewife to return to the series. But when asked, Ramona seems to feel differently about this idea.

Dorinda Singer appeared on The Real Housewives of New York from the very beginning. She managed to remain a fan favorite on the show due to her ability to speak her mind and get into squabbles with almost every cast member on the show. Ramona and Dorinda acted as friends and foes throughout their time together on RHONY. However, Ramona revealed to the media recently that the two haven’t spoken since Dorinda’s departure from the show.

During an interview with ET, Ramona Singer said the following about Dorinda Medley: “I don’t really have a relationship with her right now.” When asked about the pair’s current status, Ramona responded: “I respect her as a person in a lot of ways and I only wish the best for her.” Then, when asked if she would be open to Dorinda returning, Ramona simply stated: “I don’t know if she’s ready to come back.” In fact, Ramona insisted that Dorinda’s presence is not missed. “When a cast member leaves, somehow we just pick up where it was left off and you don’t really notice that they’re gone,” Ramona justified. “We’re all just a cog in the wheel and if one goes, the wheel keeps going.”

Ramona Singer also commented on the return of Heather Thompson. The former RHONY fan favorite will be appearing on season 13 as a friend of the housewives. “I enjoyed having her in the mix,” stated the star, “I’ve always stayed in touch with her and so has Luann, so it definitely was very organic for her to come.” On the other hand, Ramona hinted that Heather did not mesh well with current housewife Leah McSweeney. “Leah was not happy that Heather was there, she was quite upset.”

Ramona dished more details about the upcoming season, including the newest housewife, Eboni Williams. “Eboni is a great addition. She educates us on some things that were not quite aware of.” Eboni Williams made history as the first Black housewife featured on the show, and the season 13 trailer teases beef between the two women. The Real Housewives of New York remains a fan favorite amongst many fans. The show revealed its trailer and taglines to plenty of applause.
