In 2010, the world traveler was a supporting character on Tinsley’s CW show, High Society, which only lasted for one season. On the series, Dabney lived with fellow rich kid, Jules Kirby, at The Empire Hotel on New York’s West Side. 

Jules’ shocking use of the N-word and offensive comments about homosexuals and Jews may have been partly to blame for the show’s cancellation. Tinsley attempted to distance herself from the controversy as episodes began to air.

"For her to say that it was sort of scripted and that she was fed those lines is absolutely untrue," Tinsley said of Jules’ behavior at the time. "It's unfortunate and it's hard to be lumped into a show with somebody like that. Obviously those aren't my views at all and I don't want to be accountable for her actions."
