The women of the Real Housewives of New York City are known for their brutal fights, but last night’s episode was ridiculously messy even by their standards. While former friends Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel hashed out their problems at one end of the dinner table, Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps started a new feud at the other end!
When Luann said that Dorinda becomes vicious when she’s drunk, she proved the Countess right by attacking her drinking problem and arrest. And the boat ride from hell was reported to be the most dramatic part of the RHONY Colombian vacation. Click through the gallery for all the info on this ruthless fight.

She wanted Luann to apologize for being “some sort of uppity thing,” but Luann didn’t think she had anything to be sorry for. “An ex-countess got married and doesn’t have a countess-ship anymore,” Dorinda sniped, proving Luann’s point about her “turning” when she drinks. But that wasn’t the worst of it.

She aggressively pushed her wine glass toward Luann and said, “No, you drink some wine,
get arrested, honey.” Her glass broke. When a waiter came to get her another, even
Ramona Singer thought that was a bad idea.

“You’re a lady who just broke your glass in front of me,” Luann said, trying to explain that things had gotten out of control. “Well I didn’t get a mugshot over it,” Dorinda said, referencing again
Luann’s winter arrest.

Luann checked into rehab earlier this July.
