I hate to be cynical, but I can’t help wondering when Jules Wainstein realized that her marriage was going to end in divorce. Obviously, I’m not the only one who found the timing of her joining Real Housewives of New York to be kind of suspect since Bethenny Frankel decided to call her out during the reunion. Well now, Jules’s main chick, Dorinda Medley, is coming to her defense.
Dorinda insists that the news of Jules getting a divorce was a shock and that it had nothing to do with her joining the show.

This entire reunion has been turned up to the highest extreme. There has not been one bit of filler – it has been a constant stream of jabs and jaw dropping revelations. Not only am I pumped for the part three, but I am also curious about what Dorinda has to say after the fact. I am especially curious since we all heard that Jules is not returning next season, so I feel like anything she would have to say has to be tinged with bitterness.
In an interview with Bravo’s Daily Dish, Dorinda addresses the accusations that Jules was knowledgeable about her impending divorce earlier than she let on. Dorinda said, “It’s hard. Listen, she’s at the start of a divorce.” Which no one is questioning, but it does seem like a strange time to join a reality TV show.
Dorinda insisted, “I know not everybody believes this, but it was completely unexpected. She truly thought [they were] gonna be together, and she’s got two very young children. No one wants to be a young, single mother. It’s not easy. So she’s focused on that.”

It probably was unexpected, but when did Jules actually find out though? Was it “unexpected” before she started filming? Was it “unexpected” while she was already filming the season? Or did she find out about it all after things wrapped up and the show started airing?
I doubt we are ever going to get any kind of confirmation that Jules already knew about the divorce, so this will just have to remain as speculation, but the rest of the reunion looks juicy. I didn’t think anything could get crazier than what we have already seen, but it clearly does.
Not only does Bethenny continue to come for Dorinda by declaring, “You did end up becoming the village idiot,” but it also seems like Ramona Singer has some inside dirt on Luann de Lesseps’s fiance (and cheater) Tom when she asks, “If he did this again, what would you do?”
I. Cannot. Wait. It’s going to get wild.
