Dorinda Medley is getting real about Jennifer Aydin’s viral meltdown at Jersey Mike’s.
“I have no idea what she was thinking. That was so offensive when you watched it,” the “Traitors” Season 3 star tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” when asked about Aydin’s New Year’s Day outburst over sandwiches.
“I mean, for any of us who ever worked in service, or have family and friends that work in service, you couldn’t be any worse,” adds Medley.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum, 60, goes on to say that she believes her “New Jersey” counterpart, 47, “needs to stay off social media” if she can’t abstain from posting questionable content.
“We’ve all done it, we’ve all filmed something and whenever you look at it, you’re like, ‘Oh, no.’ I mean, I filmed stuff where something’s in the background or something’s showing that shouldn’t be showing and I’m like, ‘Ooh,’” Medley explains before urging Aydin to “review your videos before [she posts] them.”
Last week, Aydin came under fire when she lamented on her Instagram Stories about waiting in line at an airport Jersey Mike’s “for what felt like forever.” The mom of five was slammed by social media users for job- and age-shaming an employee that had been taking care of orders for her family.
“The 80-year-old that was working there, I mean, the amount of time she took to cut that bread was almost as much as we were waiting [in] that line. Jeez,” the Bravolebrity said in a clip, also calling the employee “slow.”
Aydin expressed more anger when a customer behind her –– whom she called an “a–hole” –– called her “ridiculous” for asking for a second sandwich after placing her initial order.
The Ultimate Beauty Pillow founder warned fellow patrons that she was a “f–king celebrity,” and that her husband, Bill Aydin, was a “medical doctor.” Jennifer’s “RHONJ” castmate and onscreen adversary, Margaret Josephs, said such comments gave her “secondhand embarrassment.”
Although Jennifer seemingly felt good about sharing her Jersey Mike’s rant with her hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, she recently admitted to Page Six that her plastic surgeon spouse, Bill, was “not happy” about her choice to do so — and even warned her against transmitting her tantrum into the ether.

Medley tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” that Jennifer’s freakout was particularly insensitive as it occurred during the wee hours of a holiday — and, most horrifically, at the expense of a senior citizen.
“It was a holiday, Jan. 1, a new year, early in the morning. It was like, what time, six in the morning? So you’ve got to figure that poor woman, who was what, 80 or something, was getting up at three in the morning to make a sandwich,” the “Make It Nice” author says. “It’s just not anything I can understand.”
While Medley can’t wrap her head around Jennifer’s anti-Jersey Mike’s remarks, she can absolutely understand fans’ fervor at seeing her reality TV return on the new season of Peacock’s “The Traitors.”
“I was so excited to be a part of this show and I’m so happy that the fans seem to be excited, too,” she raves, emphasizing her joy at filming alongside other “Housewives” stars, including Dolores Catania, Chanel Ayan and Robyn Dixon. “We’re a good group.”
“The Traitors” Season 3 premieres Thursday on Peacock.
