In the world of reality TV, outbursts and controversial moments are no strangers including with Dorinda Medley. But when Jennifer Aydin of The Real Housewives of New Jersey went viral for a fiery Instagram rant at Jersey Mike’s, even seasoned reality stars were left speechless. Among the critics? The Real Housewives of New York City alum Dorinda Medley, who weighed in on Aydin’s behavior, calling it “offensive” and urging her to reconsider her social media habits.

On New Year’s Day, Aydin shared an Instagram Story that sparked significant backlash. Frustrated after waiting in line at an airport Jersey Mike’s, Aydin filmed an interaction that quickly went viral. Jennifer was frustrated at an elderly worker for being “slow” in preparing her sandwich. The employee, a senior citizen, was reportedly in her 80s, and Aydin’s comments included calling her out for taking too long to cut the bread.
The viral clip left many on social media shaking their heads, with many criticizing Aydin for job-shaming and age-shaming the worker.
When asked about Aydin’s outburst, Dorinda Medley did not hold back. Speaking to Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, the Traitors star shared her thoughts on the incident. “I have no idea what she was thinking. That was so offensive when you watched it,” Dorinda Medley said candidly.

She also pointed out the issue with publicly belittling service workers, especially seniors. “For any of us who ever worked in service, or have family and friends that work in service, you couldn’t be any worse,” Medley added.
Medley’s reaction didn’t stop there. She called out Aydin’s decision to post the video online in the first place, advising her to rethink her social media habits. “We’ve all done it, we’ve all filmed something and whenever you look at it, you’re like, ‘Oh, no,'” Medley explained. “I mean, I filmed stuff where something’s in the background or something’s showing that shouldn’t be showing and I’m like, ‘Ooh,’” she continued, suggesting Aydin should “review your videos before [you post] them.” Dorinda also pointed out that this occurred early New Years Day.
Jennifer Aydin has since acknowledged her mistake, but the incident serves as a reminder to think twice before posting anything that could harm or shame others. Whether you’re a reality star or just someone posting from your phone, being mindful of the message you send out into the world is more important than ever.

I thought there was something 'off' about Slurinda for this appearance on WWHL … she seems either tired or annoyed, I can't tell which. But she's looking the best she ever has. I think we (and she) needs another RHUGT to BSM.
She does look good
Girl I’m sorry but you’re offensive to people everytime you drink yet no one from other franchises tells your ass to go to rehab so … sit this one out
What Jennifer did was wrong however Dorinda is offensive and attacks people she loves. Sit down lol
Slurinda is never going to let us forget that she was once a hash slinger. Marrying well pays off!~

OMG, erbody getting all up in Jennifer’s caboose about this makes me want to mosey on over to TEAM JENNIFER not because she’s in the right, she wasn’t imo, but because ENOUGH ALREADY with the outrage over an airport meltdown over a sammich!!! ? She had an asshole moment and she wasn’t even alone in her assholedom, even if she outshined everyone else. ? LA is on fire, the world is going to hell in a hand basket, enough with this broad’s sammich meltdown! Move on. ??
Lol. I take it the downvoter wants MORE SAMMICH MELTDOWN COVERAGE because I mean, who doesn’t need more sammich meltdown coverage when the world is on the brink of WWIII and LA is on fire, amongst various and sundry less significant occurrences? ? Who, I ask? ?
Dorinda calling anyone offensive is kinda funny actually ? We need some comic relief because this stupid story is just getting old with everything going on in the world that really matters.
