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.
