Dorinda Medley shut down rumors of a feud with fellow “Real Housewives” star Margaret Josephs after they canceled a live show earlier this month.
“We didn’t cancel that. Everyone thinks that Margaret and I canceled it,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” this week at a Christmas-themed Raising Cane’s event in Times Square.
According to Medley, their “Blond Ambition” show, which was slated for Dec. 2 at Manhattan’s City Winery, was canceled by the venue.
“I found out when everyone found out, so people love to run with anything,” she explained.
She added, “I said to someone the other day, ‘If that’s the big news, then there ain’t no other news going on.’”
Fans suspected there might be friction in the ladies’ friendship after a tense argument broke out during a joint appearance on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” in November to promote the tour.
Medley, 60, and the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” mainstay, 57, began bickering after the latter suggested that the “Make It Nice” author preferred one of their show moderators — journalist Dave Quinn and influencer Peter Panos — over the other, though it wasn’t abundantly clear which.
Medley asserted that she liked both men and bluntly told Josephs, “Don’t speak for me” — which ignited a heated exchange that caused Bravoholics to wonder if this argument was to blame for the scrapped date.
“This is [‘Housewives’] bickering between friends,” Josephs wrote in an Instagram comment, emphasizing that her bond with Medley was still in tact — and that their spat had nothing to do with the cancellation.
“Show canceled because of scheduling changes and multiple events in the same evening … it’s not that deep.”
Medley told “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she was “bummed” that she couldn’t play the Big Apple with Josephs.

“Timing, whatever it was, they just decided not to do it,” she said before noting that she and the “RHONJ” personality have plans to hang. “In fact, I’m seeing Margaret soon!”
Medley was one of several celebrities who came out to join Raising Cane’s on Tuesday to help owner and founder Todd Graves in donating 400 children’s bikes to members of the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem.
“Mean Girls” actress Lacey Chabert, “RHONJ” star Dolores Catania, “Summer House” stars Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller, Bachelor Nation hunk Peter Weber and Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers also lent their support.
“Raising Cane’s does amazing work with the community. They work with nearly 30,000 different organizations doing these wonderful events,” Medley raved.
“So we’re very excited to be part of it.”
