Real Housewives of New York City star Dorinda Medley announced Tuesday that she will not be returning for another season after six seasons on the show. The Bravo star broke the news on Instagram just weeks after filming the RHONY Season 12 reunion.

“What a journey this has been. I have laughed and cried and tried to Make it Nice… But all things must come to an end. This was a great outlet for me to heal when my late husband Richard passed away. I have met so many interesting people and learned so much about myself, about life and about women along the way.”

Medley joined the RHONY cast in 2015, and quickly became s a fan-favorite Housewife. She is the second member of the New York City cast to exit in recent months, following Tinsley Mortimer’s departure in June. As of press time, the remaining cast members of RHONY are Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan and Leah McSweeney.

Kevin Hart is revealing that he battled COVID-19 back in March, making a full recovery months later. Hart told guests at Dave Chappelle’s An Intimate Socially Distanced Affair show in Yellow Springs, Ohio.  Chappelle reportedly spent $100,000 on coronavirus rapid testing for the outdoor shows he held over the summer. Other performers included Questlove, Bill Burr and Michelle Wolf.

Said Hart of his diagnosis, “The problem is that I had it around the same time as Tom Hanks, and I couldn’t say anything because he’s more famous than I am.”  Hanks and wife Rita Wilson announced on Instagram in March that they’d both tested positive for COVID-19, after arriving in Australia to work on Hank’s latest movie.

Hart has been spending most of his time during quarantine at home in Los Angeles. His wife, Eniko Hart, is pregnant with their second child, due this month.

After months of uncertainty, the Tony Awards — originally scheduled for June — will take place this fall completely digitally.

Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League, and Heather Hitchens, president & CEO of the American Theatre Wing, said in a joint statement: “Though unprecedented events cut the 2019-2020 Broadway season short, it was a year full of extraordinary work that deserves to be recognized. We are thrilled not only to have found a way to properly celebrate our artists’ incredible achievements this season, but also to be able to uplift the entire theatre community and show the world what makes our Broadway family so special at this difficult time. The show must go on, no matter what — and it will.”

No further details were announced as of press time.  To date, 41 Broadway theaters have been dark since March 12 due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which is the longest shutdown in its history.
