A cause of conflict between Dorinda Medley and John Mahdessian was the difference in their lifestyle preferences. This became an ongoing issue, according to People, because Dorinda and John had been together for seven years before parting ways.
These issues were reported as far back as September 2019, when it was announced that they were taking a break. According to Page Six, John loves to “attend the opening of an envelope, and she goes out for work, but she’s really low-key. He’s all about being the guy on the town since she’s been on the show.”
On the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of New York from May 14, 2020, Dorinda said to audiences: “Endings are painful, but they’re sometimes good and healthy and needed,” per Bravo.
She added: “It’s so easy just to keep communicating and just falling into old habits. Because I have a feeling if I didn’t do this, it would just keep staying plateaued for 10 years, 15 years. And then what?”
But Dorinda stressed that she’ll always love John. There’s no bad blood between them but they just happened to grow apart. According to Bravo, she said: “I love John and I’ll always love John. There’s no big fight.” Dorinda added that John would “always have a seat at” her table.
