The harsh comment came as the 44-year-old socialite dropped the bombshell she was to live with her now-fiancé, Scott Kluth, in Chicago.

Later that evening, she broke the news that she was moving to the rest of her cast mates.

, 55, , 63, , 55, and , 56, all ignored the Southern Charm author’s announcement.

"I don't want to talk about it. I really want to make it disappear. Just don't bring life to it,” Dorinda fired, as she brushed off the big news.

After the Southern Charm author made a face that mocked her rival’s reaction, the Massachusetts native referenced Tinsley freezing her embryos.

“I’ve got a turkey baster. Maybe try and have a baby,” Dorinda said.

"You look like an evil, mean person," a disgusted Tinsley responds to her frenemy.

Ramona, Sonja and Leah do not say anything about the joke.

In 2018, fans saw Tinsley struggle - but ultimately deciding - to freeze her eggs when she was dating her then-boyfriend, Scott.

Viewers were livid at the comment, with many noting it is offensive to any woman struggling to conceive a child.

“Dorinda I have made excuses for you but holy f**k did you have to go that low and make the turkey baster comment. I JUST HAVE NO WORDS,” one angry critic tweeted.
