It concluded with Ron being sent home after weeks of being targeted by the others, who were convinced he was a traitor.

While some at the table defended him, like his pal, traitor Rob Rausch, after he gave a heartfelt speech, accepting his fate, he still got the majority vote and was banished from the castle.

Others who narrowly escaped banishment were Colton Underwood and traitor Lisa Rinna.

Although most of the players voted for Ron to get the boot, Dorinda‘s seemingly harsh comments about his gameplay just before particularly stuck out to viewers.

It happened while Ron was addressing how he’s repeatedly been targeted after mistakenly identifying Porsha Williams as a traitor early in the show.

“We’ve all made mistakes here. I don’t think there’s a single one of us here who has voted correctly every time, and yet I’m the one who’s put in a position to defend myself,” the comic told the group at the table.

“I’ve been very consistent about everything I’ve said. If I like you, you know it. If I don’t, you know it,” Ron added before Dorinda interjected, calling out the comic for his quiet and more reserved demeanor.

“I don’t think the game is about liking people. It’s like, we have to contribute to each other, like that’s sort of the rules of engagement. So, to not do that at all makes it not helpful,” the Real Housewives of New York star snapped.

“I disagree with that 100 percent. It’s just that I don’t think that we can interact in a way that remains respectful,” Ron clapped back.

Fans showed their support for Ron on social media and said they were taken aback by Dorinda’s cruel remarks.

“Dorinda’s comments about how @ronfunch plays the game hits harder now knowing that Ron has autism. Kind of another example how unconscious biases run rampant on reality TV,” one person wrote on Threads, mentioning Ron’s earlier Instagram Story post about supposedly learning he was on the spectrum.

This caught the attention of the TV personality, who claimed that Dorinda said much harsher things to him that didn’t make it into the episode.

“Oh she has conscious bias. She said some truly terrible things to me but since they were deeply personal and outside of gameplay they were never shown. Just me blowing up at her ‘out of nowhere,’” Ron replied.

The exchange made its way to Reddit, where others shared their thoughts on the pair’s feud.

“It was very obvious when ron said he couldn’t have a respectful discussion with her that she has said or implied some awful things about ron,” one person reacted.

“Dorinda is cruel. She uses information about people to twist the knife. She knows what she’s doing, that’s why she was put on pause on RHONY. I feel so bad for Ron,” said another.

“I knew it. So many people acting like she was being such a sweetheart to Ron when she was just faking it for the roundtable,” suspected a third.

“I truly wish the editors showed it all. I hate when they leave out certain things that paint someone in a bad way when there was something that caused it,” added a fourth.

Ron made headlines earlier this week for liking a comment accusing the cast of “racism” after everyone turned on him for ousting Porsha.

The comment compared Ron’s misfire with Porsha to Colton putting a bullseye on Tiffany Miller last week; despite not having concrete evidence to prove she was a traitor.
