Dorinda Medley appeared with fellow stars of The Traitors on The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday, Jan. 29
“I once poured a plate of spaghetti on my partner's head," Medley admitted in a statement read on camera by Ross Matthews during a segment that involved guessing cast members' secrets
She went on to explain that she had "worked very hard on a spaghetti dish" and late husband Richard Medley "started making fun of it"
Dorinda Medley told a pre-pasta-rous story on The Drew Barrymore Show.
On the talk show’s Thursday, Jan. 29 episode, Medley was joined by fellow Traitors season 4 stars Colton Underwood, Dorinda Medley and Maura Higgins, plus season 3 cast members Dylan Efron and Rob Mariano.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum’s saucy confession came during a guessing game where Ross Mathews asked the group to identify who had admitted, “I once poured a plate of spaghetti on my partner's head.”
“This is so fun, by the way,” host Barrymore interjected. “I just have to say that I'm sorry you know when we acknowledge moments later, sometimes I just go in the moment I'm like I'm having so much fun you guys thank you for coming.”
Mariano noted that the admission felt “like a housewife” had made it.

“It's you, Dorinda,” Matthews declared.
“Yes, yeah, I once, Richard had come home and I'd worked very hard on a spaghetti dish and he started making fun of it, and I literally, and we had people over, which was very bad, and I said that's fine,” Medley recalled. “So I brought it up and he kept going and going. So finally when I went to serve it to him, I just put it right over.”
Dorinda married Richard Medley, her second husband, in 2005. He died in 2011 due to liver failure.
In 2022, she remembered her late husband on what would have been his 71st birthday.

"I [met] you at such an important time in my life and you not only embraced me, you embraced my daughter as your own," she wrote on Instagram. "Although the years have passed, you are never forgotten. You'll be happy to know we are all doing well and there are so many stories to tell. We often speak of you with laughter, love and incredible memories."
The caption accompanied a carousel of images that showed Dorinda and Richard on their wedding day and attending various events during their marriage.
Medley concluded the post: "You will never be forgotten but always missed! Happy Birthday my sweet man!"
