Dorinda Medleycouldn’t identify the traitors—or a few of her fellow faithfuls—on the latest season ofThe Traitors.

TheReal Housewives of New York Cityalum recently spoke about her short stint on season 3 ofTraitors. The Bravo star was eliminated during the series' second episode after the traitors “murdered” their first faithful. Medley, 60, appeared on the Wednesday, Jan. 15, episode ofSiriusXM’sThe Julia Cunningham Showand detailed her time with fellow game players at the Scottish Castle.

The former couplemarried in June 2022, and separatedthe following year. Asghari, 30,finalized their divorcein early May 2024.

But, Medley told Cunningham she didn’t know who Asghari was. “I had no idea. By the way, this is a funny story. Swear to God, it’s true. Cross my heart. I had no idea who Sam was,” theReal Housewives Ultimate Girls Tripstar said.

“I was advising him about how it is to go through a divorce," she said, revealing she asked him: " ‘What does your wife do?’ " Then fellowTraitorscontestant andBig Brotheralum Britney Haynes “finally” told her, " ‘Dorinda, that is Britney Spears' ex.’ ”

“I had no idea. You know, I’m sort of one of these people that kind of, I’m very good at being in this world and very good at being not in this world and I think that’s how I’ve kept my sanity all these years,” Medley explained. “I get very present in whatever I’m doing.”

But Medley confirmed that he didn’t reveal much about their divorce, rather she tried to learn more about Asghari’s emotional wellbeing. “I was like, ‘Are you heartbroken?’ and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, you’re young. You’ll meet someone again. I’m sure she was great,’ and Britney [Haynes is] like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ "

“I was mothering him ‘cause that’s what I naturally do,” Medley confessed. “I love to mother. I love to cook for people, take care of them, work them through their problems. That’s what comes very naturally to me.”
