Dorinda Medleyis setting the record straight.
On the reality star’s SiriusXM showMake It Nice With Dorinda Medley, a listener called in to ask Medley, 57, about the boiling drama between her and her formerReal Housewives of New YorkCitycastmate.
The listener said she’d seenJill ZarinonWatch What Happens Live, and that she “didn’t really care” for Zarin’s curt tone or for saying “Dorinda’s drinking and there’s a problem.” She then asked for Medley’s take on the situation.
“I think she’s very salacious,” Medley replied. She called Zarin a friend, but clarified “we’re not like best of friends,” but more like “acquaintances.”
“She likes a lot of attention,” Medley continued before noting how Zarin, 58, hasn’t been onRHONY"for a long time."

“This is new for her, and this is her moment,” Medley said. “And I think she’s having a great moment and she should take it, because it’s been a long time for her. You don’t know how long it’s gonna last, so she should just go for it.”
“Even Brandi said onWatch What Happens Livethe other night, she’s thirsty,” Medley said. “Tamra said it. She’s thirsty. So go for it. That’s what I say. Go for it.”

Medley said she “plays hard” during the season in order to make good television, but acknowledged that the key to “these shows is that it’s conflict and resolution.”
“I mean, she’s written to me a couple times,” Medley revealed. “We all left in a great note. So whatever was happening, I haven’t seen Jill. I haven’t even really spoken to her since the show ended.”
“So whatever’s going on with her, I think is, maybe a bit of shadow boxing, but that’s good,” Medley added, repeating her earlier sentiments for Zarin to “go for it.”

Just two weeks ago, Zarin had her own perspective to share about her friendship with Medley.
In an interview withEntertainment Tonight, theRHONYalum said she believed a potential reunion with Medley on the forthcomingRHONY: Legacyseries"could be very ugly"if they were both asked to be part of the show. (The upcoming series will feature some of the most beloved New York Housewives.)
“What did you just see for a week? Could you imagine that for four months?” Zarin said, referencing their time onUltimate Girls Trip.

Zarin also took the opportunity to “set the record straight,” explaining that she’s “hungry” — not “thirsty.”
“I am hungry for success; I am ambitious and I am driven. I think thirsty is a mean word to say about somebody that they’re jealous of, as wanting something that they want, too. So, I think someone calls someone thirsty when they themselves are thirsty and throwing it on someone else,” she said.
Make It Nice withDorinda Medleywill air Thursdays at 11 a.m. ET on SiriusXM’sRadio Andy(ch. 102) and on the SXM App.
