A former “Real Housewives of New York” star shared a selfie on Instagram and some fans didn’t recognize her. On May 5, 2023, Dorinda Medley snapped a picture of herself while lying in bed and decided to share in on social media.
“GLAD TO BE HOME. What are you up to?” Medley captioned the snap. The reality star’s head was resting on some pillows and her hair was curled with plenty of volume. It didn’t take long for fans to comment on the photo, many comparing Medley to Marilyn Monroe. A similar conversation played out on Reddit.
Medley, 58, officially joined the “Real Housewives of New York” cast in a full-time role on season 7. Her time on RHONY ended after season 12. Medley was most recently on “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex Wives Club,” which was filmed at her home in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. She is very active on social media and often posts photos and videos to her Instagram feed — though this photo appears to be one of a kind.
