Dorothy Wang reveals she 'politely declined' joining 'Bling Empire' a 'couple times' before spinoff

Dorothy Wang is ready to reenter the spotlight. Gibson Johns interviews the reality star about her new Netflix spinoff, "Bling Empire: New York" and uncovers the story behind how it - and her move from LA to NYC - came to be. They discuss why joining the original "Bling Empire" felt "inauthentic" to her and how her experience filming the New York-based spinoff differed, her relationships to her new co-stars and who she has drama with and why.

Hopefully Dorothy Wang is able to persuade producers to focus Season 2 more on herself, Tina, Blake & the Slaysians. Everyone else thank you for your time- thank you so much

[@franss7554]

Dorothy Wang & Tina Leung’s backs must’ve been torn for carrying the whole show. They’re smart people who know how to do a reality show ✅ they’re made for this ❤

[@maxmiyake1224]

They thought Richard was going to be the Kevin from the LA version but it was a miss I think Tina was the best then Dorothy 😹

[@ecaldwell9]

Yeah. Dorothy is in her own lane. I could tell that after a few episodes of Rich Kids. *Go Dorothy* fellow Aquarian Sista here!

[@Mikeymoonboots]

When she pronounced Deborah as de boar ra ….. I just couldn’t stop giggling.

[@jaylloywd453]

Much better than LA version

[@onechick7200]

Same, LA are like bad actors. New Yorkers are acting like themselves and you can sense they aren’t acting.

[@lisam9622]

Dorothy is smart ,beautiful and a sweetheart ❤

[@AngelinaX23]

Dorothy moving to NY reminds me of Dorothy in Wizard of Oz. She's not in Kansas, i.e., Beverly Hills, anymore!

[@am977]

Blake the only reason I really wanted to watch and nam but Richard and Vikas did put off beggy vibes tryna use ppl around them moneys

[@davidwthomson9641]

OMG.. could Dorothys face be anymore different than on the show(?) But I agree w her that Richard.. super pushy "transactional" new yorker..

[@vmassproduction7722]

the LA cast really isn't her vibe anyway.

[@indigo3896]

Lol it wasn’t her “vibe” cause she couldn’t find a man. If her vibe is belittling and being able to undermine others, then that would make sense.

[@vmassproduction7722]

@Indigo I feel not finding a man is her excuse without shade to the other cast members. Her only public dislike is Kane. She hardly filmed any scenes with the other cast members. Jamie I feel is because she's not drama and young n into fashion she can film some scene with the others she could care less. She stated several times some people just dont vibe with each other, and its okay with out being rude. It's not her nature to just be a bitch to someone she doesn't like. She would rather avoid.

[@dstock1009]

Loved the interview!!! :)

[@wirehyperspace]

happy birthday dorothy

[@GrilledChickenRamyun]

I swear if i were to be friends with Richard id feel annoyed too being constantly milk just for his benefits

[@soeifong]

I watched a few episodes tonight, but was disappointed and bored very quickly. New York doesn't look as interesting or exciting. Dorothy is old af and moved there to find someone? It doesn't surprise me she didn't. These people are supposedly rich, but are stingy af, and afraid of being poor? 🤣🤣🤣 sad group of people imo and a good example of how money doesn't buy happiness.

[@nasriinjama9754]

Agree

[@christinaskittle]

Ah yes these 6-7 people represent all of New York lmao

[@itchywitch]

They're rich AF but are soooo uncool.

[@NidaKazmi]

@@christinaskittle She might have meant the NY version of the show, and not the city itself.

[@NidaKazmi]

Agree - Watching Dorothy is like nails on a chalkboard.

[@onechick7200]

Richard is giving off narcissist vibes. I hope that’s not true because he’s cute.

[@tha1ne]

Dorothy is possibly the most annoying girl I've ever seen on a reality TV show lmao

[@travelfoodielove]

But yet, here you are…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@tha1ne]

@@travelfoodielove yes, expressing my disapproval lol tf your comment even mean 😂😂

[@lotus___freedom]

Diana Jenkins and Teddi are the worst lmao have several seats.

[@ankitadobhal119]

Unnecessary rude. I mean just shut up. She knows nothing she's so spoilt and rude.

[@noniboo1521]

I've seen waaaay worse people than Dorothy Wang. All the HOUSEWIVES SHOWS have the worse people I've have ever seen and I've stopped watching them a few years ago. Yes Dorothy can be a little nicer but I like her better than the rest of the people on the show!! She's been in much better place in her life than all these poor folks playing at being rich.

[@sandeesandee2562]

Is she still with ari

[@ariellewht]

They really glossed over her dating the Greek man Ari , who she COMPLETELY SWOONED over. What a bummer :/ no details

[@vazzzwazz506]

What happened yo her boyfriend in the show Ari???

[@zeals936]

For Deborah being a prior lawyer and can't even get a name right for a show you auditioned for is concerning to say the least lol. To me that's clearly showed deliberate sabotage, and lowered her class immensely. Also, if she was a lawyer, clearly a bad one if you can't remember a name. Too much filler getting to her head or something

[@mariamariner23]

Love Dorothy so cute

[@indigo3896]

She was rude af, not the vibe at all. You would think that at 34 she would have learned some manners, smh.

[@lua604]

Love her

[@AuntyFabulous23]

Dorothy's behavior in this show was cringy. The girl needs to grow up. Should have stay declined. The most interesting thing about her is that her parents are rich. And then she's a petty, entitled child. It is one thing to be outspoken. It is another to just be rude. The first time I saw her was on Bling Empire and thought she handled herself with Kane well. I am surprised her parents are ok with this. I would be having a very serious conversation with my child.

[@minaroh9377]

보다 적극적으로 도로시왕양께서 은근한 , 아주 교묘한 조리돌림을 공개적으로 적극돌파 하시면 본인 삶이 더 평안해지실 거라고 생각해요 자기 선택의 문제지만 안그러면 아주 불편한 세상이 펼쳐질 겁니다 취향이 좀 불편하게 사시는 걸 좋아하시는 분들도 계시긴 하시더라고용 .^^

[@melaninmonroe007]

I used to love Dorothy… but she and Tina were so mean to Richard. He was purposeful and business minded. She made fun of him every chance she could. But I guess if you’re an heiress to a $4B fortune, you can treat everybody around you like trash.

[@waynew2835]

Cuz he doesn’t know social etiquettes and boundaries. He appears to be a hustling guy trying to utilizing everyone along the way to reach his goals, which is understandably to be annoyed by people in a higher class than him. No body wants to be taken advantage of.

[@davidwthomson9641]

That or just allow being walked all over by Richard..

[@Goldblood0]

He and his gf who she don’t even know kept asking from her. Told her to post it on her social media telling her to donate and even put them on a date without them even knowing. They had to find out from his website.

[@mxnolis]

He literally was angry at them for not attending something that they never actually agreed to… they said they were open to sometime coming into his workplace. They never agreed a time. He just text them a time and when they didn’t show up he got angry. He seems nice but also seems a bit fake and annoying and a bit of a social climber

[@indigo3896]

Nah Dorothy came for Deborah way too much, homegirl tried to make amends and she stayed being rude like girl it’s never been that deep to be cordial. She didn’t call out a dead relative of yours, she just didn’t have appetizers at a get together. No wonder she’s single, I got so much second hand embarrassment watching the way she talks to other adults like babe you’re 34, and Tina the crying for grown men was not it. You’re 40!! It’s not cute. 😭😭😭

[@itchywitch]

I don't hate Dorothy. But her whole look reminds me of CHAVs. So much money but doesn't look classy.

[@onechick7200]

She has more of a LA look, kind of reminds me of the Kardashian’s look. And like Blake said she is all glam with too much make up unlike New Yorkers.

[@kentrader2489]

I think Tina is gay but won’t come out till season 2

[@Lockedin_Media88]

More like Pam is gay ..

[@justanicker]

I agree

[@candy2325]

Interesting observation 😮I didn’t even think of that 🤔

[@kentrader2489]

결정적으로 아무튼 너무 불쾌했어요 사람사이관계에서 한쪽만 일방적으로 대놓고 이용하려는 모습들이 . 도로시왕양이 만일 돈없이 가난했다면 그런 모습을 보인 출연진들은 정말 .. 매장당했을걸요 사실은 흔한 모습이죠 흔한 관계고요 속세에서. 그런데 그걸 굳이 몰래카매라형식으로 한 사람만 집중조명하며 다큐인지 예능인지도 장르분별 힘든 괴랄한 방송물로 만들 필요는 있었는가 싶네요 아무도 안궁금해할 영상 스토리없는 포르노 ㅡㅡ 심지어 출연진이 포르노 배우길 해 전문 배우길 해 ㅡㅡ..
