Dorinda Medley and Margaret Josephs faced off during a commercial break on the Jeff Lewis Live show.
Despite the success of Dorinda and Margaret’s ‘Blonde Ambition: A Real Housewives Experience‘ live show, the RHONY and RHONJ legends canceled future shows.
The squabble:
This verbal altercation went down during a commercial break of Jeff Lewis’ Sirius XM show. Dorinda addressed Margaret speaking on her behalf regarding a mutual acquaintance, Peter Panos. Peter is a popular digital creator who hosted the ladies’ (now canceled) live show.
Dorinda told the Real Housewives of New Jersey star. “Don’t speak … just do me a favor.”
Jeff, trying to ‘make it nice‘ said, “You are right, Dorinda.”
Dorinda chimed right back in to tell Margaret, “Don’t speak for me.” And, “That’s right” in agreeance with Jeff.
Margaret snapped at Dorinda, “Well don’t speak for me! It’s not a big deal.”
The women began to speak over one another, which made it nearly impossible to transcribe. I was able to understand, “No. You said it.” / “You just said it.” / “I just responded to it.”
Jeff interrupted to add, “It was a lie.”
Margaret chose to bend the knee to the lady of Blue Stone Manor. “It’s not a big deal. I got it.”
Dorinda told Margaret, “You said Dorinda told me she doesn’t like him. And, I responded back to you. You said it first.”
Margaret clarified, “I actually didn’t, but that’s ok.”
Dorinda continued, “Did he say, ‘Well, Dorinda likes Peter better. She told me Dorinda likes Peter better.”
Jeff doesn’t think Margaret made that claim. “I don’t think she did. I think she was whispering, but I don’t think she actually said it.”
“She said Dorinda likes Peter better.”
Margaret rejected the accusation. “No, I didn’t say Dorinda likes Peter better.”
Dorinda maintained, “Yes, you did. Just don’t talk for me. I’m good.”
The show must go on!
The ladies simmered down as the countdown signaled Jeff into hosting mode. Messy Jeff (and we love him for it) told his audience what happened off air.
“There was a mini-cat fight during the break. I’m worried about the Blonde Ambition Tour at this point.”
Here’s Peter Panos’s post after their sold out show in Boston in early November. He even promoted the (now-canceled) December 2nd show in his caption.

During a later Jeff Lewis Live interview with Crystal Kung Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey, Jeff mentioned the commercial break quarrel between Dorinda and Margaret.
“They were on the show [Jeff Lewis Live] selling tickets. They did get into a little light argument at the break.”
Jeff continued, “Then, one or two days later, we hear that the December show has been canceled. Do I think it had to do something with their tiff on my show? I do.”
