One of the prominent traits of the reality TV franchise Real Housewives is the ability of the stars to hold grudges, drag out arguments, and try to get others on their side of the argument. Season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York City is no exception to the rule. Last season, Dorinda Medley helped style Luann de Lesseps for her cabaret show. Dorinda managed to get a handful of shiny sexy gowns and jumpsuits that fit Luann right in all the right places — and for free — from the designer Jovani.

When it came to show time, Dorinda was hurt that Luann didn’t invite Dorinda’s boyfriend, John Mahdessian, owner of the custom couture cleaning business Madame Paulette to the show. People speculate that’s why Dorinda yelled out from the crowd, “It’s Jovani!” whenever Luann changed outfits. In Season 11, when Bethenny Frankel tells Dorinda “just own that you heckled it’s Jovani”, Dorinda denies it and says, “I didn’t heckle it’s Jovani” which has Luann in utter disbelief. The good news is the heckling — or helpful promotional reminder — didn’t hurt Luann’s relationship with the dress designer Jovani. She also wore the label at her Christmas cabaret performances, which will be shown during Season 11 of The Real Housewives of New York which airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.
