Marisa Abela is not well, bitch. Not just because the third season of her hit HBO series “ Industry ” is averaging 1.6 million cross-platform viewers per episode and was recently renewed for a fourth season , but also because one of the show’s fans happens to be a TV personality she’s a fan of herself.
In a recent interview with The Cut , Abela revealed the “Real Housewife” who reached out over social media to show her support and some other sources of entertainment for when she’s not lighting up screens big and small. “I love and watch most of the ’Housewives’ franchises, which is really fun because Dorinda Medley is watching ’Industry’ right now and DM-ing me live updates. It’s the biggest thing ever,” said Abela.
“It was so funny because she was messaging me about it while I was in Venice with very important and impressive people in my industry, and I screamed because I got a DM from Dorinda Medley.” The “Back to Black” actress was at the Venice Film Festival, not promoting a film but serving as a brand ambassador for the Prada offset Miu Miu.
