Fans went to the TikTok comment section to write how strongly similar the two look, as well as how gorgeous they are.

Dorinda Medley Has Plans for RHONY; But Will Bravo Listen
Season 15 of didn't perform as well as had hoped. This was the second season with the rebooted cast. The ladies didn't gel, and the season was punctuated with vicious fighting. So, if you were feeling nostalgic for the earlier seasons of RHONY, may have the solution. Bravo, are you listening? Dorinda was famously put 'on pause' and left RHONY. She was heartbroken. Now, it looks like the RHONY franchise, along with Real Housewives of New Jersey, are both in danger. When Bravo announced its renewals and new programming, both shows were missing from the list. After last season's ratings debacle, it was clear that RHONY was ready for some possible cast changes. The show was casting new faces, but there is no word on whether the Season 15 cast was booted. Enter Dorinda and her thoughts on RHONY. 'People miss New York and the nostalgia of the old Housewives,' Dorinda told OK! 'I don't want to say anything bad about the girls because they're just different,' she said of the new cast for Season 14 and 15. 'How can you follow with these girls that literally were each together incredible and individually characters?' Meanwhile, Dorinda feels strongly that combining the current cast with some former RHONY cast members would fix the ailing franchise. Dorinda doesn't 'personally understand' the 'absolute resistance' to combining the casts. I think that would be perfection. 'I don't think you have to get rid of all them, and you say, 'I made a mistake.'' Dorinda explained. 'But I do believe there's a world, if not to put us all back together, to be putting us together on some [level].' Plus, Dorinda hasn't ruled out a return to the franchise. Even if the original members were featured less than the new cast, it would be a welcome change. I'd love to see these two worlds collide! Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – SHOULD RHONY MIX CURRENT AND FORMER RHONY CAST MEMBERS? SHOULD DORINDA RETURN? The post Dorinda Medley Has Plans for RHONY; But Will Bravo Listen appeared first on Reality Tea.

Luann de Lesseps Reacts to RHONY Pause
fans were dealt a blow when they learned the show was paused. In 2022, RHONY debuted an all-new cast, but the fan consensus seemed to be that the new co-stars didn't gel. Meanwhile, New York Housewives fans were left wondering what was going on with the series. Now, RHONY alum has weighed in on the pause situation. When Bravo announced its renewals for existing shows, both RHONY and Real Housewives of New Jersey were missing from the list. While the show hasn't been canceled, it is being paused until Bravo can decide how to handle the once fan-favorite franchise. Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea Instagram showed memes of the castmate's faces along with the caption, 'RHONY is cancelled.' Naturally, Luann took to the comments to share her opinion. And if you expected a bittersweet post about her history on RHONY, you were bound for disappointment. 'How could you do this to me. Question Mark,' she wrote. Of course, this is one of Luann's iconic catchphrases from the show. During Season 8, Luann created the phrase while leaving a text-to-speak message for Tom D'Agostino, her fiancé at the time. Fans were quick to praise Luann's hilarious comment. 'I love that you have the best sense of humor!' one user wrote. Another fan commented, 'The queen on rhony.' Meanwhile, RHONY alum Dorinda Medley is no stranger to pauses. She shared her ideas to save the show just before news of the show's pause broke. 'People miss New York and the nostalgia of the old Housewives,' Dorinda stated. She suggested bringing back some of the original faces to interact with the new cast as a win-win for viewers. Hopefully, this is just a pause for RHONY, and Bravo will come up with a winning formula to bring the franchise back to its glory days. Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF LUANN'S COMMENT? DO YOU THINK THAT BRAVO WILL CANCEL RHONY?

All of Donald Trump's 'Real Housewives' Connections Explained
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After President Donald Trump appointed Real Housewives alum Siggy Flicker to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's board of trustees, his connection to the television show has been further analyzed. Trump has been linked to several stars of the reality TV franchise before and during his time in office. Why It Matters Trump has appointed many of his business connections and donors during his presidency, with some Americans feeling the appointees were unqualified or misaligned with the government roles for which they were chosen. President Donald Trump takes a question from a reporter in the Oval Office at the White House on May 5 in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump takes a question from a reporter in the Oval Office at the White House on May 5 in Washington, To Know Here's a list of the Real Housewives franchise stars linked to the president, including Flicker from Real Housewives of New Jersey, as well as Lisa Rinna and Joe Giudice: Siggy Flicker Flicker this month was appointed to the board of the Holocaust museum, which works to fight antisemitism with its exhibitions, training programs and education. All council members appointed by the president serve a five-year term. Flicker, who is Jewish, was born in Israel and has made her support for Israel known on social media in recent months. Her father, Mordecai Paldiel, escaped Nazi-occupied Belgium at just 3 years old. Flicker has been publicly supportive of Trump in recent years, saying she voted Republican for the first time in the 2016 election. Flicker first met Trump after he became president through her friend and Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba. 'The Celebrity Apprentice' Connections Lisa Rinna Rinna, actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, was on Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice show. Nene Leakes and Brandi Glanville, of Real Housewives of Atlanta and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame, respectively, also had their own appearances on Trump's show, which featured stars competing for money to help their favorite charities. Another Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, Kyle Richards, was seen on The New Celebrity Apprentice show in 2017. Joe Giudice Giudice, a notable Real Housewives of New Jersey star, asked Trump for help in gaining U.S. citizenship in January. The entrepreneur said he was hopeful Trump's reelection would help him get back to the U.S., where he's lived his whole life. His wife Teresa appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012. "When I met Trump, I mean, he was very nice to me," Giudice said, as reported by People. "I was very nice to him when we were on his show over there. I don't know. I mean, I think he should get me back." Giudice and his wife Teresa were indicted on federal fraud charges in 2013, and the former TV star was deported back to his birthplace of Italy in 2019. But Teresa called Trump "broke" on Watch What Happens Live. Host Andy Cohen later revealed that Trump called afterward and was "furious." "He was like, 'You need to do a retraction!' It was a whole thing," Cohen said, as reported by Yahoo. Cohen said Teresa "wound up posting a retraction or something" about Trump, who ran in the same circles as she and her husband. What People Are Saying Flicker wrote in a May 5 Instagram post: "President Trump... Thank you for the privilege (and) honor to represent and NEVER FORGET." Trump wrote in a May 6 post on Truth Social about his appointments: "They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we, NEVER FORGET. Congratulations to all!" What Happens Next Trump has continued bringing in several appointees for government positions. His new head of Social Security, Frank Bisignano, has pledged to overhaul the Social Security Administration's operations by using private-sector efficiency. During his Senate confirmation hearing, Bisignano described the agency's overpayment rate of 1 percent as "five decimal places too high" and emphasized his intention to reduce improper payments through technology upgrades and artificial intelligence tools. "At the end of the day, we need to evaluate the ability to pay back and work it out. ... I'm going to make sure we recover all the money we should recover, but on the other hand, we need to be humans in the process too," Bisignano added. Linda McMahon, appointed as education secretary, is making major changes to the Department of Education, causing millions of federal student loan borrowers to see higher monthly payments.

Trump Appoints Former ‘Real Housewives' Star To Holocaust Museum Board
A former Real Housewife whose tagline was 'some people think I'm too much, they're absolutely right' is officially a board member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. In a post on his Truth Social site Monday, President Donald Trump announced five appointees to the board, and one was 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Season 7 and 8 alum Sigalit 'Siggy' Flicker. The Israeli-born former matchmaker is a member of Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club and has a connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. 'They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we, NEVER FORGET,' Trump wrote in his announcement. 'President Trump… Thank you for the privilege & honor to represent and NEVER FORGET!' Flicker wrote on Instagram in response to Trump's announcement. Trump's five appointees, along with other previously announced members, will replace those appointed by President Joe Biden, who were fired by Trump on April 29. The abrupt removal of Biden's appointees — who were nixed before their terms expired, with most being on the board for just weeks, per The Washington Post — is a move that critics say introduces politics into a vital institution that until now has remained nonpartisan. 'At a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion, we should be uniting to preserve historical truth,' the Anti-Defamation League said in a statement last week. 'The Holocaust Museum is not just a monument to the past, it is a warning to the present. We must ensure it remains nonpartisan and committed to its core mission of ensuring that Never Again stands true.' Flicker is anything but nonpartisan. Her stepson, Tyler Campanella, was arrested in April 2024 and charged with five misdemeanors in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, which Flicker appeared to support, according to court documents obtained by NBC News. According to an FBI affidavit, the former reality TV star posted photos that Campanella shot from inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 to social media, along with the caption: 'I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you.' Her post also included praying hands, hearts and American flag emojis and the 'Stop the Steal' hashtag, according to an image of the post included in the FBI affidavit and published by NBC News. Campanella pleaded not guilty to the charges last year, and the case was dismissed when Trump pardoned Jan. 6 rioters. Flicker also told The Washington Post in 2024 that she goes to Mar-a-Lago three or four times a week in order to escape 'jihadis' and 'criminals' and be in a place that resembles 'what America used to be.'
