  • RHOBH Recap: Rachel Opens Up About Her Ex Rodger and Their Downfall as Dorit’s Spending Sparks Concern From Kyle, Plus Erika Gets Emotional in Therapy, and Sutton Dishes on Ex Christian’s New Romance

    [ad_1]

    On this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit‘s spending and Rachel‘s partying.  The Hamptons is doing a great job of bringing people together through wine, shopping, and dancing.  Back on the west coast, Erika opens up about her impending trials, Bozoma gets confirmation that Keely is her person, and  Sutton is left wondering if she should reinvent herself as Sutton Brown.

     Over in the Hamptons, Dorit checks in with her daughter, who seems absolutely appalled to learn her mom flew commercial.  Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… PK has the kids while Dorit is grasping for a hot girl summer and while all she wants to do is bash him, she holds her tongue for the sake of her kids, and plays nice while on the phone. 

    The night before proved to be a good one, as Rachel is hungover and exhausted.  Only Kyle is bright eyed, since she left at a normal time and remained sober. In an effort to cure said hangover, Dorit, Kyle, and Rachel head out to shop.  Dorit clearly got the spend memo- she basically cleans out the store with her $4,589.50 purchases. In an embarrassing moment, her card gets declined, but Dorit claims it was merely fraud protection, considering she is all the way on the east coast.  Sure.  

    Post shopping, Rachel has planned a nice little pre-game-like wine night with her family so that Kyle and Dorit can learn more about who Rachel really is.  While they prep, Kyle takes a FaceTime call from Boz, who, admittedly, is having some serious FOMO.  Kyle and Boz seem to be connecting more this year, which is refreshing.  

    Kyle shares that things between her and Dorit have gotten better since being in the Hamptons, but Dorit’s behavior has been odd.  According to Kyle, Dorit has been acting a little bit scattered, “manic,” or is “OCD because of anxiety?” Boz wants Kyle to be careful the way she talks about Dorit’s personality, especially with this impending divorce. However, Boz knows that Dorit has a looming financial burden of divorce ahead of her, and perhaps a conversation needs to happen with Dorit to help her focus on the important stuff.

    Sutton meets with Jennifer Tilly in Malibu for an oceanside lunch. Sutton reflects on when she rented a house here 10 years ago and Jennifer reflects on who Sutton was 10 years ago. Sutton led a seemingly perfect life, with a seemingly perfect husband, but the more Jennifer looked, the more she saw cracks in their relationship.

    Sutton’s ex has a new girlfriend, who also happened to be a friend of Sutton’s, which…complicates things and certainly adds a layer of betrayal.  Sutton was shocked to learn of her ex’s new girlfriend and had to learn of the romance from her son. With the annulment and the emotions that come with it, Sutton has been trying to put on a brave face. It has been hard, but the more she thinks about it, the more she is ready to move from Stracke to Brown.

    Erika’s therapist makes a house visit. Erika opens up the upcoming trial- the one with the bankruptcy trustee. She also shares that she has a $10 million tax bill that Tom left her with. Erika is tired of it all and talks about how “the now sucks.”

    Erika tells her therapist how she met up with an abused Denise Richards and goes on to say that she finally opened up to some of her friends about the abuse that happened to her last year.  The shame surrounding it and the need to call in police, when her own son is an officer, is what kept Erika quiet all this time.  She was carrying around the incident in shame and her therapist is glad to hear that Erika is talking about it now.  

    Erika states how lost she feels in life and how it seems like she is merely “treading water” in survival mode. Her therapist explains that Erika needs to embrace life, rather than fight it, because this is it: good, bad, and ugly.

    Clearly Rachel’s family is on Dorit-time because they arrive over an hour late.  Kyle is awe that Rachel has both of her parents still alive and makes it clear how lucky Rachel is to have them in her life.  Dorit, caught up in her own world, obsessing over what to wear, is also late.

    When she finally makes her grand entrance and meets Rachel’s parents and family, they talk about estranged marriages.  It becomes hard for Rachel because she knows just how much her family loved her ex, but he is not the same person he used to be.

    Over in San Diego, Boz, her boyfriend, Keely, and her daughter head out to dinner. They discuss the fertility journey and the disappointment. If this next round does not work, Boz worries about “what ifs,” considering how much Keely wants a baby…what if it does not happen? Keely promises that no matter what, he still wants to marry Boz and she realizes that she needs to trust he will not grow to resent her down the road should she not be able to have his baby.

    As the night wears on in the Hamptons, Kyle, Dorit, and Rachel head out to dinner. We learn that exactly one year ago, Rachel’s entire life broke up. She “split open” after she got into a fight with her ex and cried more than she ever cried before. Rachel explains that her ex told her about his affair and this was the catalyst that upset her so much that particular weekend one year ago.

    She believes that her ex told her about it to hurt her and to get a reaction out of her. According to Rachel, he was a secure person up until about 7 years ago. She goes on to give examples and talks about how the one time she fooled around with a model prior to their engagement, her ex found out about it and proposed the next day. 

    In the end, people are allowed to change and Rachel is grateful her life unfolded the way it did.  They toast to a great weekend in the Hamptons.  Not only did they learn more about the life of Rachel Zoe, but Kyle and Dorit seem to be in a much better place…for now.

  • Lisa Rinna Blasts Garcelle and Denise as “Full-Blown Narcissists,” Claims They Joined RHOBH With an “Agenda,” and Reveals Where She Stands With Cast, Plus Defends Harry Against Gay Rumors

    [ad_1]

    Lisa Rinna took aim at Garcelle Beauvais and Denise Richards in her just-released memoir, You Better Believe I’m Going To Talk About It.

    As she also shot down the idea that her husband of nearly 29 years, Harry Hamlin, 74, was gay, the 62-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum accused Garcelle, 59, and Denise, 55, of going into the show with agendas, claimed the two of them, along with Sutton Stracke, 54, were “full-blown narcissists,” offered updates on her relationships with her former co-stars, and more.

    “[Garcelle] came onto the show with an agenda,” Lisa wrote in her February 24 release. “We mixed like oil and water, and she was firmly on Denise’s side.”

    According to Lisa, she was “the Narcissist Hunter of Beverly Hills” because she was “really good at sussing them out.”

    “All those women are full-blown narcissists. I’m talking Garcelle, Sutton, and Denise,” she stated. “I was always called a bad friend because I didn’t support these newbies when they first came on the show. But, it was because I found out they were bad dudes. They put on a good show, but on a fundamental level we just did not vibe at all.”

    Although Lisa described Denise’s first season with the show, season nine, as “uneventful,” she recalled her ex-co-star entering her sophomore year “on a rampage.”

    “I noticed right away she wasn’t being buddy-buddy with me. Maybe she knew she didn’t make much of an impression on her first season? Maybe producers told her she needed to step it up?” she wondered. “Who knows, but that’s when she came at Garcelle, [Erika Jayne], [Kyle Richards], [Dorit Kemsley], and me at her backyard barbecue, saying we were talking about threesomes in front of her kids. She’ll never cop to this, but Denise came in with an agenda, and it pissed me off. I thought it was shady.”

    “I realized my relationship with Denise was superficial … When I turned on her after the barbecue fiasco, she gaslit me to no end,” she added.

    After confirming that she no longer speaks to Garcelle, describing her as a “huge disappointment,” Lisa said she and Denise briefly reconciled after a close mutual friend of theirs passed away.

    “We actually got on a call together, and it was a hopeful moment. Then a couple of days later, we got into it again about something stupid. She took my olive branch and stuck it back in my eye. I haven’t communicated with her since. You’d have to ask her why she would do such a thing. My hypothesis is that she’ll never get over the ‘Oof, you’re so angry,’ comment,” she noted. 

    Three years after her exit from RHOBH, Lisa isn’t so much as considering a return.

    “That is out of the question. I’m done with that,” Lisa told Us Weekly on February 24. “I moved on from that chapter in my life, but it did heal me.”

    “I probably should have gone a little sooner. You can always look back and be like, ‘I probably should have gone a year later, a year earlier.’ But no, it happens the way it happens,” she explained. “Your path unfolds the way it’s supposed to. Everything happens for a reason, and I’m grateful for every experience that I’ve had, because doing Housewives made me who I am today.”

    After noting that she “made great friends” on the show, saying that they “trauma-bonded” and “had a blast a lot of the time, until we didn’t,” Lisa moved on to her current relationships with her former co-stars.

    “I had a fake relationship with [Lisa Vanderpump] then, and I have no relationship with her now,” Lisa revealed to Us Weekly, sharing in her book that their dynamic was “complicated.”

    Also in her book, Lisa said her relationship with Kyle was “complicated.”

    “Kyle and I have had our ups and downs, but we always end up on our feet. I love Kyle. She’s smart. Very loyal. She has great empathy and cares for people. She’s a great mother. She’s really funny and witty. Kyle is one of the most enjoyable people to spend time with,” she shared.

    Lisa also had good things to say about Dorit, 49, confirming that after going “through it,” they’re “good,” and adding that she’s kept in touch with Erika, 54, Eileen Davidson, 66, Diana Jenkins, 53, and Teddi Mellencamp, 44.

    “We don’t get to see each other all the time, but she is very special to me,” Lisa said of the latter.

    She also “reached out” and “apologized” to Yolanda Hadid, 62, who “accepted” her “I’m sorry” following their Munchausen drama, “made up privately” with Kathy Hilton, 66, and got on good terms with Brandi Glanville, 53.

    “We had a horribly tumultuous time, it was not good on any level. But we’ve reconnected over the years in a way that I would have never expected, and we’re friendly now,” she wrote. “Brandi made a real effort to reconnect with me … [And] she reaches out to me quite a bit — I’m happy to talk to her.”

    As for who she doesn’t “care to” speak to or about, those honors go to Sutton and Kim Richards, 61.

    “I don’t really like to talk about Kim. It’s just not necessary,” she stated.

    During another chapter of her book, Lisa addressed gay rumors about Harry, whom she married in 1997 and shares daughters Delilah Belle Hamlin, 27, and Amelia Gray Hamlin, 24, with.

    “When you’re a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to ‘Is he gay?’ Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” Lisa declared. “He is not a gay man in any way, shape, or form, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I had actually never heard those rumors until Housewives. I just figured b*tches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me. My reaction was always more, ‘Why you mad, boo?’ Besides, every husband’s sexuality was questioned at some point on that show.”

    According to Lisa, Harry’s sexuality was questioned after he played a gay man in the 1982 film Making Love.

    “Mainstream films about gay men are still rare today, but back then it was unheard of,” she wrote. “It had never been done. It was way before its time.”

    Applauding Harry for making a brave decision, Lisa revealed “it bit him in the a**,” sharing that he “was blacklisted for several years afterward.”

    As for the status of their marriage, Lisa said she and Harry “have a great amount of trust.”

    “I don’t ever worry about Harry. I am not jealous. he’s not jealous … I would be shocked if I found out he was having an affair,” she admitted.

  • Boz Saint John Accuses Amanda Frances of ‘Reaching for Relevancy’ on RHOBH, Talks Dorit and Kyle, Sutton’s Changes, & Who She’d Rather Not See Again

    [ad_1]

    Bozoma “Boz” Saint John took aim at Amanda Frances during an interview on Thursday.

    As she reacted to Amanda, 41, taking a call amid a 45-minute drive with her castmates on a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, explained why Dorit Kemsley, 49, listens to her more than Kyle Richards, 57, and admitted to being offended by Sutton Stracke, 54, being stripped of her last name, Boz, 49, revealed which cast member she’d rather not see again and accused Amanda of “reaching for relevancy.”

    “I think she’s reaching for relevancy, she wants to be established, and I think that’s what it’s giving,” Boz said of Amanda when asked to describe her with one word during a February 19 interview with Extra.

    As for Amanda’s lengthy call amid a car ride with her co-stars, Boz said she would “of course” never take a call in the car.

    “No, especially not business calls that last forever and ever. I mean, look, if there is an emergency, yes, of course you gotta take it … But you also have to say, ‘hey look, I’m not in the right place right now to have a 45 minute conversation,’” she noted.

    Since joining the RHOBH cast in 2024 for season 14, Boz has grown close to Dorit. And as Dorit has grown further from Kyle, Kyle has accused her of listening more to Boz than to her. 

    In response, Boz explained, “I think part of it is that I’m actively listening. I’m not listening to rebuttal or listening for defense. I’m absorbing what she’s saying.”

    Then, when asked if Kyle had an agenda, Boz denied it.

    “I don’t think so. I think Kyle’s really trying to figure out her life and what’s happening. I think she’s been in this weird middle for a while, and I don’t think she wants to be there, and I don’t think anybody wants to be there, not for long anyway. So I think she’s just trying to figure out what’s happening in her life, and as a consequence, she’s just in everybody else’s life too,” she reasoned. 

    Moving on to Sutton’s former husband, Christian Stracke, having their marriage annulled, Boz expressed empathy for her castmate.

    “I was shocked when her husband or her former husband got their marriage annulled in the Catholic Church, and the letter came to her addressed to Sutton Brown. I don’t know what I would do. I just feel like it’s so insulting, so stripping of your identity. She’s been Sutton Stracke for a long time,” she stated. 

    According to Boz, she felt bad for Sutton because it sent her back to when her former spouse, Peter Saint John, died of cancer.

    “When my husband died, it [was] like, look, you could go back to your maiden name or keep the same name. [And] I kept my name because of Lael,” she explained. “I wanted to share the name with her, and so I can’t imagine being in Sutton’s shoes and then all of a sudden being stripped of your name.”

    That, along with Sutton’s falling outs with Garcelle Beauvais, 59, and her former assistant, Avi Gabay, have had what Boz described as “a big impact on her.”

    “I think losing longtime friendships, having, of course, Garcelle and Avi out of her life, and then having to navigate her friendships with the rest of us, having her name taken from her, I don’t know that anybody can face a situation like that and not have immediate change,” she stated. “So I think that’s what’s happening, and I like Sutton brown. Sutton brown is a good seed.”

    As for the co-star she’d rather not see again, that nod went to Amanda.

    “If I never had to see this version with Amanda, I’d be alright with that. She needs some growth,” Boz shared.

  • RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Suspects Amanda Frances is “Jealous” of Her and Accuses Amanda of Tearing Down Women as Amanda Addresses Skepticism About Her Life

    [ad_1]

    Dorit Kemsley is firing back at Amanda Frances, who suggested she was intimidated by her since she was “young and successful and not financially dependent on a man” on Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    After Amanda, 41, slammed Dorit, 49, for outsourcing her financial well-being to her now-estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, Dorit suspected Amanda was lashing out at her due to jealousy, as she pointed out that she was a businesswoman and doesn’t need to “tear other women down” to feel better about herself. 

    “If I had to think about it, maybe she’s a little jealous … Have you looked at me?” Dorit asked on the February 19 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    She then denied that she outsourced her financial well-being.

    “That’s not true. I am a businesswoman. I’ve started, built, ran companies. When I met PK, I had my own company. PK had just filed for bankruptcy. PK did not have a dime when I met him,” she clarified. 

    Dorit also noted that despite going through “a really sh*tty time,” she was still a girl’s girl.

    “I can still depend on women, be transparent, be open, be honest. I mean, I’m supporting myself and my children. And I don’t need to tear other women down to feel better about myself. That to me is, a woman that has to do that, to me, I feel like it’s because they’re jealous,” she concluded.

    Reflecting on Amanda’s comment about Dorit outsourcing her financial well-being to PK in a clip of her own, Erika Jayne, 54, admitted, “I thought she was talking about me.”

    “I am so happy to find out she was talking about Dorit cuz I had my answer ready, girl,” she declared as Rachel Zoe, 54, said Amanda’s husband Eddie’s statement about Dorit being intimidated by Amanda’s youth “made [her] die.”

    “But don’t you think he said that just to make her feel better?” she wondered.

    Meanwhile, the rest of the cast, including Sutton Stracke, 54, and Kyle Richards, 57, agreed that they didn’t think anyone in the group was jealous of anyone else.

    In her own segment, Amanda recalled a past conversation she had with Dorit and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, in which Dorit admitted that she allowed PK to control their finances. 

    “She wasn’t involved in it at all, and she has no understanding of investment accounts, retirements, all the things I was asking her, which is why I encouraged her, get your head on straight, decide who you’re gonna be in the situation,” Amanda explained. “Not knowing what’s going on with your money is a bad place to be. Yeah, I would call that outsourcing financial well-being.”

    Although jealousy came up in her discussion about Dorit with Eddie, Amanda said, “That wasn’t what I was thinking.”

    “None of these words cross my mind,” she shared. “[But] I do think outsourcing your financial well-being to any human besides you is not a good plan, even if your husband is the one that makes the money, you need to always know what’s going on with money. I do not think women should turn a blind eye to anything that is important in their life, including finances, absolutely not. Do I think that made her intimidated? I don’t know.”

    According to Amanda, she doesn’t understand the “skepticism” Dorit and some of their castmates had “around [her] being happy [and] around [her] life looking good.”

    “My life is full in every way … I have everything I ever wanted. My life is really good, and it’s weird to me that no one could accept that as a real possibility, like, something someone can actually have,” she explained. “When other women win, I celebrate them. So why was it met with, ‘Her life can’t actually be good.’ Like, what is that about, to assume that someone’s life can’t be good and they can’t actually be happy? Isn’t that a bizarre take?”

  • RHOBH’s Amanda Frances Reacts to Sutton Calling Her a “Wimp” and Explains Excluding Dorit From Manifestation Party, Plus Boz Shades Amanda as “Petty” as Dorit Speaks Out

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Amanda Frances reflected on her spat with Sutton Stracke after Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    As she also defended excluding Dorit Kemsley, 49, from her manifest party, and Dorit reacted to the lack of an invite, Amanda, 41, refuted claims of deflecting her past comments onto Kyle Richards, 57, slammed the cast for continuously looking for problems, and accused the group of failing to have conversations with the intention of resolution.

    “[Sutton] says, ‘Don’t be a wimp,’ and I say, ‘Don’t talk to me that way at my house,’ because it was just a dig and we had managed to not do any name-calling yet, and I try to do that as an adult, high-functioning woman,” Amanda explained on the February 12 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    Meanwhile, Sutton, 54, pointed out that she tends to say “things to [her castmates’] faces” and accused Amanda of pushing her thoughts about Dorit and her negative chatter about her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemlsey, 58, “over to Kyle.”

    As for Amanda, she felt that she was simply “conveying how things happened in the order in which they happened in [her] heart and in [her] intention.”

    “They were saying, ‘But you just blamed Kyle. You just blamed Kyle. You just deflected.’ And I’m like, ‘But Kyle was an integral part of the story.’ Listen, I could have told the whole thing without mentioning Kyle, but in my experience, that’s how it happened,” she shared. 

    After Erika Jayne, 54, noted that the cast had “seen people called worse,” she admitted that being hit with labels in your own home is not something anyone wants to hear.

    Reflecting on the spat in a chat with Dorit, Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, said she was surprised to see that Sutton was having Dorit’s back.

    “She was out here defending you, and I was like, ‘Oh, Sutton Brown. Here we go.’ I was very impressed by that,” she noted.

    According to Dorit, she had lunch with Sutton before her spat with Amanda and confronted her for not having spoken up on her behalf earlier.

    “I said, ‘Where were you that night when we had dinner?’ Sutton was there. She’s the one who gave me the information and she wasn’t saying anything, so she took that,” Dorit revealed. “And so once again, I was encouraged by Sutton Brown. I was impressed, and I was encouraged, and I felt like this is really someone who’s making concerted efforts to be a better friend.”

    Still, Amanda felt that her co-stars were looking for a problem.

    “If people show up to someone’s dinner party looking to pick apart and shine a light on everything someone could’ve done different or better, one, that’s odd behavior, and two, if you’re looking for stuff, you’re going to find it,” she explained. “They wanted to draw out more of how they perceive I did something wrong. Again, not the intention to resolve, clear things up, and get on the same page.”

    “I had yet to have a conversation about this matter where we wanted to understand each other. I literally thought that when you have conversations with friends, the goal was to understand each other more,” she added.

    During another moment of the RHOBH: After Show, Amanda explained why she didn’t invite Dorit to he manifestation party.

    “Why would I invite her to my dinner table at my home when she has spoken bout me the way she did at two other dinner tables. Like, would anyone have invited her?” she asked.

    “I would’ve,” Kyle replied. “When there’s an issue in the group, I usually just invite everybody, and if she doesn’t want to come, she doesn’t come.”

    “To me, everybody’s invited,” Kathy Hilton, 66, agreed.

    But Erika felt that Amanda had good reason not to want Dorit in her home.

    “If I go back to the night at [Rachel Zoe’s] dinner party, and then the next experience I have is at the other dinner, I can see where Amanda, I can see where she’s like, ‘I don’t know that I want her at my house,’” she reasoned. “That’s not unrealistic. And why should she have all the goodwill? I mean, at some point, do I think she plays a part in all of this? I do. But it’s on her turf.”

    Elsewhere, after Sutton suggested that it was “awfully early” to be excluding certain members of the group, Boz labeled Amanda’s move “petty.”

    “Beyond,” Dorit replied. “The way it seemed from Kyle, everyone … she deliberately didn’t invite me.”

    “Why?” Boz wondered. “There’s not that much beef that you would have to make a statement like that.”

    Although she may not have understood the move, Dorit made it clear she didn’t care that she was left out.

    “I don’t think I could’ve been more unbothered,” she added.

  • Dorit Kemsley Slams Mauricio as “PK’s Soldier” After Sit-Down on RHOBH, Accuses PK of Being a No-Show With Kids, & Suggests Mau Isn’t Looking Out for PK’s Best Interest as Kyle Reacts

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Dorit Kemsley accused Mauricio Umansky of being a “soldier” for her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, after their sit-down on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    As Kyle Richards, 55, offered her two cents about the meeting and shared what Mau, 55, told her about PK, 58, and his efforts to see his two kids, 12-year-old Jagger and 9-year-old Phoenix, Dorit, 49, suggested Mau came into their meet-up with a “script” as she shaded PK for his performative legal moves amid their custody battle.

    “I so wanted to give Mau the benefit of the doubt, but Mau came in as PK’s soldier. It was like PK gave him a script, and he was just coming out with things [that] didn’t even make sense,” Dorit recalled on the February 12 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “I was like, ‘I need to get the f*ck out of here.’”

    Looking back, Dorit said that she filed for sole legal and physical custody of her children because they were with her “99.9999% of the time,” and had been for “their whole life.” However, that didn’t mean that she didn’t want PK to be a present father. 

    “I want them to have a relationship with you, a real one, not the one that I am going overtime to put in their minds that they have. And I very much have given PK the opportunity in the last 18 months to show me that he really is a consistent and present and [an] emotionally, physically supportive father. We went to mediation for it,” she revealed. 

    According to Dorit, a judge informed her at mediation that PK wanted the children every other weekend, from Thursday to Sunday, but after she agreed, he failed to own up to his part.

    “He had the kids that weekend, never mind Thursday, there was an excuse, so it ended up being Friday, until Sunday morning, not even Sunday, the day. And then the following Thursday, PK’s nowhere to be seen. Nowhere to be seen and then the following Thursday, two Thursdays after, PK’s still nowhere to be seen,” she explained.

    Following PK’s no-shows, Dorit sent him a message, which read, “‘I don’t understand this. You took me to mediation.’”

    “I kept saying, ‘Please, please, tell me what you want.’ No. He wanted to go through the whole process for whatever reason, to show, because he likes to story-tell,” she continued. “So he wanted to tell Kyle and Mau and everyone else, ‘I’m taking her to mediation to get the custody.’”

    PK also told her, “You didn’t sign the paper that I want you to sign, so therefore the custody is null and void.”

    Dorit went on to suggest that she wasn’t sure if PK truly wanted to be involved with the kids, slamming his behavior and calling out Mau for not taking better care of his friend.

    “It just felt like this is the influence in PK’s life. This is what I’m dealing with,” Dorit shared. “I’m not dealing with people that truly are looking out for his best interest that can say, ‘Hey, PK, slow down here.’ I left that lunch feeling like, what a joke.”

    In her own RHOBH: After Show segment, Kyle said that Dorit went into her meeting with Mau, realizing that he was PK’s friend and suspecting he was “not going to be open-minded.”

    “I know Mau’s character; I know that he actually would’ve been. He could’ve gone back to PK and said, ‘Well, listen, she does have a point here.’ And he will, you know, talk straight with, you know, anyone he cares about. So, it’s unfortunate that it ended that way,” she stated.

    As for what Mau told her about his communication with PK, Kyle said that while she didn’t hear specifics, they did discuss text messages.

    “He never read them to me or anything. But I would say, ‘Well, Dorit said PK’s not making an effort.’ And he would say, ‘Well, I’ve seen these messages, and I’ve heard them on the phone, and he’s saying the complete opposite. I’ve heard him actually trying to get to see the kids.’ So, that’s why I thought, let Mau hear it out of Dorit’s mouth and PK’s mouth, and maybe he can piece this puzzle together and help somehow,” she concluded.

  • RHOBH Recap: Sutton Slams Amanda as a “Wimp,” Amanda Takes Heat for Kyle & Dorit Drama, and Dorit Accuses PK of Drinking Again During Sit-Down With Mauricio and Sets Terms for Seeing the Kids

    [ad_1]

    Dorit once referred to Kyle as her “safe place,” but in the last few years, their friendship has taken a turn. Can they get past this? On this episode of  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Rachel plans a trip to the Hamptons with Kyle and Dorit in hopes of them reconciling. While some of the women are on the East Coast, Amanda hosts a Manifestation Moment Dinner, but the only thing they seem to be manifesting is chaos.

     Rachel decides that because she misses the Hamptons so much, she is going back to her happy place. Because she really wants Kyle and Dorit to make amends, she chooses to invite both of them because who can fight in the Hamptons?! 

    Dorit is beyond thrilled to receive this invitation… she doesn’t even care that Kyle is on the guest list. On the flip side, Kyle is not as happy to learn that Dorit will be coming along, but she is ready to have fun.

    Amanda claims she has been misunderstood by these women, and so she has decided to throw a manifestation dinner party. She wants to open up her home to the group so that maybe they can see who Amanda truly is. She plans on having the ladies do some journaling, which I am sure they are going to be hyped about… Through these manifestations, perhaps they will have some fun.

    Dorit claims she is in limbo and has no idea what is going on with PK.  She is ready to do something about this, and so she has decided to get the inside scoop from one of PK’s closest confidants, Mauricio. Dorit’s goal is to get on the same side as PK, since he is currently not communicating with her at all.

    Mau states that PK would like a schedule with the children so that he can see them. Dorit claims that she is not restricting the children from PK, but Mau points out that, according to PK, he has texted asking to see the kids. Mau refers to actual text messages, but Dorit tries to explain that PK tailors things to be one-sided. Dorit plays dumb about proposals that have allegedly been texted, but Mau promises that he has seen them on PK’s end.  

    Dorit is tired of PK’s false narratives that he tries to push on people. She wants Mau to be the mediator, but he seems less than thrilled. Dorit points out that PK has started drinking again, but Mauricio comes to his defense. He makes it clear that PK is under control, but Dorit is pushing the PK drinking problem issues. She is frustrated because Mau does not seem like he can be “unbiased,” and she calls the meeting a complete waste of time, because he’s not taking her side?

    Sutton got a new dog! She FaceTimes her daughter to show off the pup and to discuss something serious… the annulment and name change. The church sees Sutton as Brown, and she kind of floats the idea of changing her last name back to Brown. Sutton gets emotional thinking about having a different last name from her children, but she is seriously considering finding out who she is once again.

    Despite hot girl summer being a “so-two-summers-ago” phrase, Rachel is ready to bring all of her vintage pieces to the Hamptons… in her six pieces of luggage… for two days.  Naturally, Dorit rolls up late to the airport, and things are super awkward between her and Kyle. Who’s ready for a vacation?! We learn that PK is watching the children, but according to Dorit, he didn’t come to pick up the kids until very late the night before.  

    Amanda is prepping for her Manifestation Moment dinner, and she is thrilled that Dorit is out of town. Meanwhile, in the Hamptons, Dorit realizes that Amanda has invited everyone but her, and so she claims she “manifested not getting an invite.” Rachel points out that the whole Hampton group is husband-less, including her sister.

    This is a new side of Erika, a side that loves love and refers to her unshakeable boo as “sweetheart.”  But she is just as inquisitive as always. She discusses the “Money Queen” with Bozoma on the way to Amanda’s, and they wonder why Amanda is still so “uncomfortable” even hearing the name Dorit. This is, according to Boz, an overdramatic response to a small issue.

    Night one in the Hamptons is popping off. Dorit is amped to be a part of Rachel’s world. I mean, Donna Karan just comes over to the table to meet the gals. Rachel and Donna go way back, and Kyle realizes what they are doing is much cooler than the Manifestation Moment party. 

    Dorit talks about her marital situation and explains that PK asked for mediation just for this weekend. He is making this hard for Dorit since all the financials are redacted, and so things are delayed further. Dorit goes on to explain that Mau was a “loyal soldier” with a script to defend PK. According to Kyle, Dorit only wants yes people around her now.

    Rachel points out that men are having a breakdown between 40 and 55, and Dorit realizes that their relationship changed when PK became obsessed with his public image.

    Before they start manifesting, the ladies get a signed copy of Amanda’s self-published book, and Amanda explains that her life is a true example that you can create what you want. I mean, she manifested her Barbie Dream House life and wants to tell everyone about it, sooo.

    Sutton explains that Amanda needs to cop to talking about Dorit’s marriage. Sutton reminds Amanda that she DID have her own opinion about Dorit’s issues, and she advises Amanda to admit to her wrongdoing. Amanda thought things were going to get cleared up, but instead, she blamed it all on Kyle. Sutton points out that Amanda now has Dorit and Kyle coming at each other since she threw Kyle under the bus. Amanda does not think it’s fair that she’s in this position, but Boz claims that Amanda was deflecting to get the heat off of herself. Sutton wants Amanda to stop being such a “wimp,” and of course, Amanda gets offended. So much for manifesting. Seems like the Money Queen has her work cut out with this group…

  • REPORT: Amanda Frances Quit RHOBH Midway Through Season 15 and Stopped Appearing on the After Show, Find Out Why

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances reportedly quit filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills midway through production on season 15 due to her intense drama with Dorit Kemsley and feuds with her other castmates.

    After joining the Bravo reality series last year, Amanda, 41, butted heads with Dorit, 49, due to her criticism of Dorit’s public bashing of her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, and rubbed others the wrong way by hyperfocusing on wealth and constantly touting her business. But did she really leave the show before the season wrapped?

    In a post shared by Bravo Housewives on Instagram, a headline reads, “Amanda Frances leaves [RHOBH] early, stops filming mid-season after feud with Dorit Kemsley [and] others escalates.”

    Amanda Frances Alleged Quit RHOBH Midway Through Season 15

    After the fan page asked its fans and followers if they would be sad to “see her go,” a number of viewers suggested her potential exit was good news.

    “[She was a] bad fit for the group,” one person said.

    “THANK GOODNESS!” declared another.

    Others signaled Amanda’s mistreatment of not only Dorit, but also others seen on the show, and Davina Potratz, 45, with whom she appeared alongside on a past episode of Selling Sunset.

    “I’m not a fan of Amanda she’s annoying AF,” someone else stated. 

    “Girl, bye,” another proclaimed.

    Meanwhile, on Reddit, proof of Amanda’s potential departure was shared in the form of screenshots from upcoming episodes of the RHOBH: After Show.

    “Amanda didn’t film the mid season after show,” someone wrote.

  • RHOBH Star Jennifer Tilly Sheds New Light on “Epic Fight” Between Kyle, Erika, & Dorit, Addresses Claim She Fears Sutton, Where They Stand Now, Plus Who She’s Closest to on Cast

    [ad_1]

    Jennifer Tilly spoke of an “epic fight” between Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, and Dorit Kemsley during an interview last week.

    While also sharing which Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member she was closest to, addressing her drawn-out feud with Sutton Stracke, 54, and reacting to Kyle’s suggestion that she was fearful of her longtime friend, Jennifer, 67, offered an update on her relationship with Stutton and compared Amanda Frances, 41, and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, to Meghan Markle, 44.

    “It did get very gnarly, and I’m sure it’s no secret because you have heard Kyle and Dorit and Erika talking about it: When we go to Italy, they get into an epic fight. A major, major, major blowout,” Jennifer told Brice Sander for Entertainment Tonight on January 29. “It’s very sad, it’s tragic.”

    Although she experienced drama with Sutton, Jennifer said she had a lot of fun filming season 15.

    “I had more lunches and things with some of the other ladies. I got to know them a lot better,” she explained. 

    As for who she’s closest to, Jennifer spoke of her friendship with Erika, 54, but she named Kathy Hilton, 66, as the person she was closest to aside from Sutton.

    “I really like Erika. Erika’s really fun. I’m so in awe of her, her fashion style and her ability to like, knock off a quip like she’s born to it, she’s like a queen … [But] the one I’m closest to right now is Kathy Hilton because we’re both ‘friends of,’” she revealed. 

    Looking back at her spat with Sutton, Jennifer said she intervened during the tense cast dinner because she didn’t want so much stress on her friend.

    “They edit it a little bit to make it look like Sutton sort of, well, not sort of. Sutton snapped at me. She was very stressed out. Everybody’s coming at her. They didn’t even show how people kept coming back … and I was sitting there, and I thought, ‘I should probably say something,’ because I am Sutton’s bestie and maybe I can divert the conversation,” she explained. 

    She then noted that the two of them made up the next morning. 

    “She came in, and we hugged it out, talked it out, and it was over, except it wasn’t over because a few days later, Kyle brought it up to Sutton, and then Sutton was bringing it up to other people, and so it got drawn out a little bit more than it should have,” Jennifer continued.

    Still, after enduring a game of telephone, Jennifer confirmed she and Sutton were “really good now.”

    “She’s a wonderful person [and a] really good friend. And everyone has their moments. It was actually just like a blip. It was a very small [moment],” she clarified, adding that the two of them were closer after hashing things out. 

    “[I’m] happy that’s behind us. We’re moving on,” she declared.

    Regarding Kyle’s role in her spat with Sutton, Jennifer said, “There’s a reason why Kyle has been a housewife for 15 years,” and she denied Kyle’s suggestion that she was afraid of Sutton or her reactions.

    “I do not fear Sutton, and I do not fear her reactions. Obviously, when you have a friend, you want to always be in a happy place, but if you have a really good friend, it’s worth fighting for,” she noted. “Sutton is still working on herself and this season, I really see it with her, like, she doesn’t drink hardly at all anymore … She’s working so hard on herself … She’s finding herself.”

    When asked about newbie Amanda, Jennifer said she didn’t “understand what she [was] coming into” when she joined the RHOBH cast.

    “I see her sort of looking for common ground, like, how do I behave, and what language do I have in common with these ladies? [But] she’s having missteps,” she shared. “She’s a very decent person, but it is difficult.”

    Then, speaking of Amanda having seen just a couple of episodes and Boz having not watched the show at all, Jennifer said she found their lack of research comparable to Meghan’s suggestion that she never Googled Prince Harry, 41.

    “It’s like, you’re going to be on the show. Maybe you should watch some episodes of the show to see what you’re getting into,” she advised.

    Also during the interview, Jennifer explained her decision to join the cast.

    “They would ask me every year … [and] I would always be like, ‘No, no. I’m too busy making important films.’ But then I thought, ‘If I got to the end of my life, I knew I would always regret not being a housewife.’ It’s just such a campy, funny, fun thing to do. And I thought, ‘…This is what I want to do.’ And I’m thrilled to be on the show, and I just think it’s gonna be such a strange, interesting, new thing to do, and I’m totally hooked,” she admitted.

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Amanda Frances Reveals More Details behind Her DUI Arrest and Shares Who Told the Cops on Her, Plus Recalls Being “Shocked” by Dorit Kemsley’s Actions while Filming

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances revealed more details behind her DUI arrest, as she shared who told the cops on her. The star also recalled being “shocked” by Dorit Kemsley’s actions while filming the new season.

    Last month, Amanda’s past mugshot surfaced online. At the time, she mentioned that the mugshot isn’t her favorite thing amid backlash from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans. Throughout her freshman season, Amanda has feuded with Dorit despite initially hitting it off.

    “The DUI thing was 2016,” said Amanda on Housewives Nightcap, via @byewighellodrama on Instagram. “So nearly 10 years ago. It was dismissed. It was expunged. I didn’t leave the parking space. I attempted to move my car out of a parking lot and get it outside a gate that was going to close. … And a guy who had been hitting on me all night and flirting with me and trying to get my attention was like, ‘You shouldn’t drive. You shouldn’t drive.’”

    “Anyway, I was blocked and I couldn’t move my car — cars on all sides of me. I couldn’t get out. So I called an Uber,” she continued. “I stepped into the street. And as I was reaching for the door handle of the Uber, a cop tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘That guy says you were drinking and driving.’ I said, ‘I tried to move my car.’ I was honest. I had nothing to hide. But I admitted that I tried to move my car. And so he arrested me.”

    At one point, Amanda addressed Dorit’s on-screen reaction to the anniversary of her son’s passing. During the episode, Amanda seemingly had to tell Dorit twice that she didn’t want to argue because of the anniversary.

    “I was shocked that I had to say it twice,” she said, via @therealityrundown on Instagram. “I was surprised that I had to say a second time, ‘Hey, I just told you what today was.’ You know, because I think the only appropriate reaction would have been like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. We’ll talk about this at a different time.’ I never got the feeling that she cared. You’ll [see]. I never got the feeling that she cared. Because someone who cared would have very sincerely been able to apologize.”

    “It doesn’t get better,” she said. “I’m really, really sure … that we could have gotten better. We could have repaired. I wanted to. Like, the audience will see me try to. I asked her on a couple different occasions — like, step aside and talk to me.”

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Amanda Frances Doubles Down on Being “Accosted” by Dorit as Kyle Recalls Dorit Approaching Her “Aggressively” and Cast Weighs In

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances claimed Dorit Kemsley “verbally accosted” her during a cast get-together on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And, after the show, she made it clear she stood by the allegation.

    As Kyle Richards, 57, recalled Dorit, 49, “aggressively” confronting their castmate and Jennifer Tilly, 67, and Sutton Stracke, 54, admitted to feeling that the word “accosted” may have been too “strong” an accusation, Dorit suggested Amanda, 41, didn’t understand the meaning of the term and Amanda described her encounter with Dorit as “bold” and “intense.”

    “I was approached unnecessarily, boldly, and aggressively for that moment,” Amanda declared on the January 29 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “She could’ve just said, ‘Hey, Amanda, you have experience with this kind of thing. You’re a co-parent … didn’t you do children’s therapy in the past?’ Anything. ‘I hear you have an opinion, what do you think?’ It was not that. It was like, it was just so intense and aggressive, I think in a way that is inappropriate for that moment.”

    “She approached you aggressively, for sure,” Kyle agreed.

    Amanda and Dorit didn’t get off to the best start on season 15, especially after Amanda was critical of the harsh comments Dorit was making about Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, and their co-parenting relationship amid their divorce. And, because Dorit attempted to hash out their issues, unknowingly, on the anniversary of Amanda’s son’s death, the tension between them continued to grow throughout season 15.

    “If you go by what the dictionary says, then yes, it could be perceived as [accosting],” Kyle continued. “[But] I know, in spite of where we’re at right now, I know that she would not have said that if she had known it was the anniversary.”

    As for Jennifer, she denied that Dorit had “[attacked]” Amanda, saying that she felt Dorit was simply opening a new avenue of conversation that Amanda wasn’t ready for.

    “She was in no mood to have that conversation, I guess, but I do think accosted is a strong word,” Jennifer noted.

    “I thought it was strong [too],” Sutton replied. “I’ve seen [Dorit] much more aggressive. She was just being very direct with Amanda. I don’t think it had this heightened atmosphere.”

    Meanwhile, Erika Jayne, 54, suggested it was poor timing for Dorit and Amanda to have the needed discussion.

    “It was a bad night, Amanda’s feelings and everything [were] very fragile and very sensitive. So I’m sure she’s right in feeling like that. However, on any other night, it would’ve been like [Dorit speaking her mind],” she reasoned.

    As for Dorit, she said that when it comes to whether she “accosted” Amanda, she feels she needs “to buy her a dictionary.”

  • RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Addresses Mauricio Reconciliation Rumors, Divorce Update & Regrets, Plus Last Time She Spoke to PK, Status With Dorit, & Amanda’s ‘Unnecessary Comment’

    [ad_1]

    Kyle Richards addressed a recent report suggesting she and Mauricio Umansky were back together on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live.

    As she also offered an update on their impending divorce, revealed what she wished didn’t air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and confirmed when she last spoke to Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, Kyle, 57, addressed her estrangement from Dorit Kemsley, 49, reacted to Dorit’s dinner spat with Amanda Frances, 41, teased the upcoming season of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, and reflected on her visit to her old home, which Amanda now owns.

    “Someone made that story up. We went to actually, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s house, and we’re friends with [Kate Hudson], and I don’t know where that story came from. [Mau and I] went with the whole family. He was kind of doing his thing, [and] I was with my girls,” Kyle explained on the January 29 episode of WWHL.

    Not only are Kyle and Mauricio, 55, not back together, but they’re closer to divorce.

    “We have had conversations that we had not had during the season since then, but we still haven’t filed. But we’ve had conversations about what this is gonna look like and all of that,” she revealed.

    On the WWHL: After Show, Kyle spoke of her most regrettable moments on RHOBH.

    “So many. I would say season one, the limo scene [with Kim Richards was the worst]. That was a no-brainer for me. There’s been many since then, even Amsterdam, running out when [Lisa Rinna] broke the glass and all that,” she shared.

    According to Kyle, she is closest to Erika Jayne, 54, and Sutton Stracke, 54, when it comes to her castmates, but she hopes that she and Dorit can “fix things.”

    “She’s important to me,” she noted.

    Looking back on the series’ 15th season, Kyle said that what weighs on her the most is her feud with Dorit.

    When a fan wanted to know when she last spoke to PK and if she felt she and Dorit could make amends, Kyle confirmed that she hadn’t spoken to PK “since last season.”

    “I do think I can repair with Dorit. I love her very much, even though we’re not speaking right now. I love her family. I want the best for her, and once you love someone like that and you have a genuine friendship, I think there’s always room to repair,” she explained. “I hope she feels the same.”

    Back on the live broadcast,  Kyle said that when it came to Dorit’s dinner drama with Amanda, Dorit truly didn’t know that their spat occurred on the anniversary of the death of one of Amanda’s twins.

    “Dorit really did not know about the anniversary, so I felt bad. I was thinking to myself, ‘abort mission, abort mission, just don’t do this.’ But then when she told her, I think she should’ve let it go,” she noted.

    As for RHUGT, which began filming earlier this month, Kyle described the experience as “exhausting.”

    “I’m not even being dramatic. I don’t even know how I can form a sentence today. The shouting, the talking over each other, these personalities, so many different personalities, altogether, I’ve had roommates, I’ve watched big fights from other cities in the middle of them. There are no words,” she admitted. “The fans are going to lose their marbles over this. I can’t even tell you.”

    Looking back at the moment in which she returned to her former home in Bel Air, Kyle said she wasn’t expecting to get so emotional.

    “I genuinely just thought, ‘Oh, I want to see what she’s done with the house.’ And I was just shocked at my reaction. Maybe I blocked it out, but I was so embarrassed I barely said goodbye to her,” she recalled. “There was a lot of things, by the way, it was obviously my life had changed so much, I was also, I moved out of there and was burglarized right after that. Everything was taken from me. It’s like, my whole life just changed.”

    Also on the show, after asking, “What can I say,” when Mau’s lack of emotion was mentioned, Kyle reacted to Amanda saying she bought her home but not her husband.

    “I was a little surprised by that. I did not think that was necessary … Why say that? It just wasn’t necessary,” she concluded.

  • RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Reacts to Amanda Shading Her Book Deal, Says PK Doesn’t Really Want a Divorce

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Dorit Kemsley reacted to Amanda Frances‘ shady comments about her book deal after last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    As Amanda, 41, defended her comments about Dorit, 49, having a co-author and the rest of the cast shared their thoughts on about the title of Dorit’s memoir, Unburdened, Dorit accused her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, of being “ice cold” amid their split and admitted to thinking that he didn’t really want to get divorced.

    “I came in, and I shared it with the girls, and I said, ‘I signed my book deal.’ Everyone, and I mean everyone, they were like, ‘Yay! Yay! Book deal! Book deal!’” Dorit recalled on the January 22 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. 

    But, as Jennifer Tilly, 67, noted, Amanda wasn’t so thrilled.

    ”It’s Dorit’s moment. It’s a little bit of sunshine that has come into her life, and Amanda was acting like she was cheating,” she shared as Dorit slammed her behavior as “unflattering.”

    Then, after Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, wondered who published Amanda’s book, and Dorit confirmed it was Amanda, the newbie insisted she wasn’t trying to slight Dorit.

    “I didn’t mean to be shady. I was confused because I didn’t know what a co-author was,” she explained. “So I said, ‘Do you mean ghostwriter?’ And then I go, ‘Oh, I wrote my book myself,’ which I can see how that would seem like I was throwing shade.”

    According to Amanda, who is currently writing her second book, she sits at her laptop and does it herself, even though it’s “so much work.”

    “I still need an editor and a proofreader, and there’s still other people besides me, but I sit and write, and I love to sit and write, and I think it’s how I became an author, so it was just a new concept to me,” she continued. 

    Elsewhere, Erika Jayne, 54, confirmed that she, too, used a co-author when she wrote Pretty Mess.

    “I’m a New York Times bestselling author. We have co-authors. You need help writing a book. It is your story, and it is your work, but you also have a professional helping you organize and tell the story. You have editors for a reason,” she explained. 

    In addition to needing help for clarity, Dorit said she also needed help due to her busy schedule.

    “For me to be able to do it with the deadline while being a single parent, it would be something that would take me three, four, five years,” she noted.

    As for the title, Sutton Stracke, 54, said she “[didn’t] understand” it, as Kyle Richards, 57, agreed that she was “not sure” about it.

    “I don’t know what her book is about, but if she’s saying unburdened and she was sharing her life or her journey, I’m not sure,” she stated. “But I do wish her the best.”

    Then, after Amanda joked that Dorit’s book should be called, How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Dinner Party, Jennifer reasoned, ”I think the title is not gonna make people reach for it. I think what’s gonna make people reach for it is Dorit’s picture on the cover.”

    Meanwhile, Dorit revealed that it was her publishers who chose the title.

    “I had a long Zoom with the publishers, and I was sharing with them my feelings, where I am, the place I’d gotten to, and I had used that word, and they came back, and they had titled it and said, ‘This is the title of your book. It so encaptures where you are,’” she shared. “So everything is born and coming from me.”

    Amanda also acknowledged that it was “hard to tell a story when you’re in the messy middle,” and she added that she hoped the process would be “healing” for Dorit.

    “Writing, or having someone else write, expressing yourself is very cathartic,” she stated.

    During another portion of the RHOBH: After Show, Dorit made it clear that while she’d been discussing her woes with the cast, there was a “flip side” to the sad and depressing things.

    “There are a lot of great things on the horizon, work-wise. Signing the book deal was definitely a highlight,” she gushed.

    She then spoke of her finances and split from PK.

    “I always had financial independence. However, my life was so intertwined with PK. So, I feel liberated, and I have the freedom to now go pursue things, whereas before, I didn’t,” she shared. “I’ve been very unbalanced because PK still has the power, so I can’t plan. There’s no clarity. It’s unfair. And his finances, whatever he’s doing, it’s completely disconnected from the family.”

    According to Dorit, she never anticipated that PK would behave in the way he did after they broke up.

    “I would have never expected that from him. Now I look back, and I think to myself, ‘Why did I not expect that from him?’ I never expected him to be so capable of, like, this ice cold cut,” she explained. 

    “It’s more of a game than anything. I don’t think he even wants the divorce,” she added.

  • RHOBH’s Amanda Frances Slams Dorit for Continuing Drama After Revealing Son’s Death Anniversary as Dorit Speaks Out, Plus Kyle Suggests Dorit is ‘Self-Centered’

    [ad_1]

    Credit: Instagram

    Amanda Frances called out Dorit Kemsley for her refusal to move on from their drama after she shared the anniversary date of her son’s death on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    After admitting that she was “hanging on by a thread” at a dinner party hosted by Rachel Zoe, 54, due to the tragic loss of one of her twins in 2022, Amanda, 41, slammed Dorit, 49, for continuing to discuss the issue she had with her, as Kyle Richards, 57, suggested Dorit was self-centered and Dorit attempted to defend herself, alleging that it was Amanda who wouldn’t drop the conversation and targeting her delivery.

    “I’m having a hard time gathering my thoughts because I’m distracted because [of] the day it is, but also, it doesn’t make sense,” Amanda recalled on the January 22 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “I just feel like I have to tell her what’s going on.”

    Although Amanda thought that it was important to explain why she was overly emotional during their encounter, she didn’t feel that Dorit, who was upset about Amanda’s comments regarding her public statements about Paul “PK Kemsley, 58, amid their divorce, offered the correct response.

    “It was very confusing because I’m thinking, ‘I told you this.’ So an appropriate response is, ‘Oh my god, I had no idea, I’m sorry.’ Drop it. But it’s like I’m still trying to figure out what the hell she’s talking about. And she’s still talking about it,” Amanda shared. “I was still trying to place what the f*ck she was saying and what exactly she was accusing me of.  I was still sorting it. I do remember saying, ‘Do you mean Kyle? Do you mean [Kathy Hilton]’s?’ I could not figure out what she was asking me because we were still taking one sentence at Kathy’s fully out of context of a whole night that wasn’t about her.”

    “Get used to it,” Kyle replied, seemingly in regard to Dorit’s inability to think of others.

    According to Amanda, she can’t imagine anyone, “especially” a mother, having any other response than to drop the conversation.

    Speaking out in her own segment, Dorit said that Amanda’s reveal about her late son “literally took [her] breath away.”

    “Obviously, I had no idea. I remember thinking, one, [I] would’ve never got into this conversation, initiated it, had I known,” she insisted. “I’m a mother. That’s a mother’s worst nightmare. I can only imagine.”

    Still, as Dorit recalled, she felt that Amanda was strategic in her delivery.

    “It felt very designed to stop me in my tracks,” she stated. “I had said to her, ‘Listen, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. We can have the conversation another time, and then she started carrying on with the conversation. And by the way, she did that a few times.”

    Elsewhere on the RHOBH: After Show, Rachel suggested that while “Dorit did the best she could in that situation,” she likely wouldn’t have gone to the dinner herself.

    “If it’s me, I’m not coming to dinner that night. Or, at the very least, I’m saying to who’s inviting [me], ‘That’s a really hard day for me. I don’t know if I can come,’” she shared.

    And Jennifer Tilly, 67, agreed, saying, “If it’s such a horrific thing for her, maybe she shouldn’t have even shown up to the party that night.”

    Jennifer also stated that she didn’t feel that Amanda should have had to give her castmates a heads-up, as Sutton Stracke, 54, weighed in.

    “I think Amanda could’ve given us a simple, ‘You know what, guys? Today’s the anniversary of the death of my baby, and so it’s going to be an especially emotional evening. I may or may not come,’ or something like that so we could’ve been a bit more gentle. And we would have been,” she reasoned.

    As for Amanda, she said she didn’t “send out a memo” since she didn’t expect to have to guard or defend herself at a dinner party.

    “I don’t expect to go to a dinner party, and [have] someone aggressively confront me about something they heard … And you got to remember: At this point, I’m still praying for Dorit. I’m like, worried about her. I’m actively concerned,” she noted.

  • RHOBH Star Amanda Frances Reveals Where She Stands With Dorit Kemsley After “Very Aggressive” Dinner Confrontation

    [ad_1]

    Amanda Frances confirmed that she and Dorit Kemsley were unable to turn a corner after their dinner spat at Rachel Zoe’s house on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, despite her efforts to reconcile.

    While the 41-year-old newbie reflected on their interaction at their castmate’s home, which took place on the third anniversary of the death of one of her twin sons, Amanda described Dorit’s antics as “very aggressive” as she admitted to trying to make amends and suggested that Dorit, 49, was only interested in using her to make a spectacle on the show.

    “We don’t recover,” Amanda told Us Weekly on January 22. “And the thing is, we could have.”

    On Thursday night’s RHOBH, Dorit confronted Amanda about what she had said in regard to how she’d been speaking about Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, and their divorce. In turn, Amanda revealed that she was “holding on by a thread” since it was the anniversary of the death of her son, Zion, who died at just five days old in 2022, while his brother, Canaan, survived.

    Despite the reveal, the discussion about their drama continued, which Amanda felt was a missed opportunity for her and Dorit.

    “For me, an apology and hearing about what was going on for her and where she was in her divorce situation, and me explaining what it was to have twins and lose a child … it could have been a get to know each other moment,” Amanda ntoed. “It could have been bonding. We could have repaired. We could have recovered.”

    Although Amanda tried to build a friendship with Dorit in the weeks that followed, she was unsuccessful in her efforts.

    “Viewers will see me in future episodes, try very hard to just sit down with her and work it out,” she shared. “The woman was very committed and devoted to only talking to me if it could be a loud dinner table spectacle kind of thing.”

    After sharing on RHOBH that Dorit had approached her in an “accusatory” manner and had a “very attacking style of energy,” Amanda doubled down.

    “It felt very aggressive to me in that moment, and it felt out of nowhere. Is the average person going to consider that a verbal accosting or whatever? I don’t know, maybe not,” Amanda admitted to Us Weekly. “But I don’t know that anyone gets to tell me how to feel or experience things on that day.”

    “I think the minute I told her what the day was, it should have been, ‘I’m so sorry I had no idea.’ Her thing is going to be that she didn’t know, and my thing is going to be that I told her,” she continued, adding that she should have only had to mention her late son “once.”

    “It should have been, like, let’s talk about something else,” she said.

  • RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Shades Sutton as “Condescending ”Over Comment to Amanda as Amanda Recalls Attitude and Sutton Speaks Out, Plus Erika Defends Sutton

    [ad_1]

    Kyle Richards labeled Sutton Stracke “condescending” due to the “missy” comment she made to Amanda Frances on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    After a tense dinner amid their group trip to Sedona, Amanda, 40, woke up to Sutton, 54, seemingly holding a grudge against her due to a comment she made in regard to her former assistant Avi Gabay potentially threatening to spill dirt. Looking back, Amanda reflected on the bad “vibes” between them.

    “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh how dare she;’ it was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who is she thinking I am and what is she thinking I’m doing?’ Like, why are we ‘Hey missy’-ing in the kitchen … at like 8 am?” Amanda wondered on the January 15 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “It had an attitude, and it felt like the vibes [were] going all wrong for us right then.”

    “It feels condescending, absolutely,” Kyle agreed. “It’s definitely not an endearing term … She thought she had something up your sleeve, for sure.”

    While Sutton and Amanda weren’t in a good place in Sedona, things have improved between them since then.

    “I think she knows me now. I think she knows that I don’t come in with agendas,” Amanda noted.

    “She knows now,” Kyle clarified. “But in that moment I think she thought, oh she knows more or is going to say more or was going to do something … She didn’t trust you.”

    Months after the scene was shot, Amanda said Sutton’s reaction to her claim about Avi made “a little more sense.”

    “At the time I’m just thinking, ‘Whoa, whoa.’ But I’m also thinking, ‘You told us you wanted to be Sutton Brown.’ And I’m so invested in personal development. It’s like my whole job. I’m so invested in the idea that people can grow and change. She tells us she wants to turn over a new leaf, and then she’s, ‘Hey missy’ing me, and I’m like, ’It’s not congruent,’” she explained.

    As Sutton admitted she was being “sassy,” Jennifer Tilly, 67, said she’d previously used the term on Sutton, and Kathy Hilton, 66, said Sutton called her “missy” all the time. Meanwhile, Rachel Zoe, 54, said she’d be “really upset” if someone called her “missy” and Erika Jayne, 54, noted that there were “a hell of a lot worse things to call people than ‘missy.’”

    “It’s kind of a love thing,” Kathy reasoned as Jennifer pointed out that “tone” had a lot to do with it.

    “Everything depends on tone,” agreed Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48. “I think the way that Sutton said, yes, I would be offended, but also, Amanda called it to herself. So she kind of deserved it.”

    “It is, it’s the tone,” Dorit Kemsley, 49, replied.

    Erika also noted that Sutton was being threatened as she defended her “missy” comment.

    “Think about what was being said to Sutton. I mean, you’re basically telling her that the man that worked for her, that was really close to her, was going to tell secrets and then you’re upset that she called you missy? That’s pretty out of balance. I don’t find that offensive,” she stated, adding, “What Amanda was saying was far more damaging than ‘missy.’”

  • RHOBH Recap: Amanda Claims Sutton’s Ex- Assistant Avi is Ready to Spill Her Dirt, Sutton Snaps at Jennifer as Jennifer’s Frustrations With Sutton Lead Her to Speculate About Garcelle’s Exit

    [ad_1]

    Amanda is working overtime trying to rile Sutton up on this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton can immediately tell Amanda’s character once she brings up Avi and though Sutton tries to act unaffected, anyone can tell she is p*ssed. The Sedona trip is not quite the vacation these ladies are used to, but in the end, Sutton embraces finally becoming part of the “in crowd,” I mean group.

    Sutton Brown has entered this episode- a newer, more chill version of the Sutton we once knew, or so she says.  An outing is planned to the vortex (translation: a center of energy in the Earth), so the outdoorsy girls can enjoy the energy hub and explore meditation. 

    Naturally, Rachel simply cannot attend because she has no footwear for the expedition.  Instead, she opts to stay back and shop.  She is joined by Dorit and Bozoma, while Kathy (and her fans) hang back to rest.

    The Sedona shopping scene (or lack thereof, according to Amanda) is quirky and they enjoy kaleidoscopes until they get bored and find a wine room.

    Kyle, Jennifer, Sutton, Amanda, and Erika hop out of their pink Jeeps and take the 1.5 mile hike to the vortex in hopes of finding the perfect spot for meditation.  For a moment, I thought we were going to lose Jennifer, but she pushed herself (and her cowboy boots) and made it to the area. While some are in awe, Erika would prefer doing mushrooms to get the same effect.

    As they sit, Kyle and Erika chat about the recent Dorit updates. Kyle understands that Dorit does not appreciate her doubting behavior and her tendency to stick up for PK. Erika suggests that Kyle stop talking about PK altogether, especially since lines are getting blurred.  Kyle’s ex, Mauricio, is still very close with PK, so Kyle hears that side of things, too. According to Mo, it appears as though Dorit is blocking PK’s ability to see the kids.  Kyle’s involvement is getting messy. 

    Over some wine, Dorit tells the other ladies that she does not feel supported by Kyle. Boz wonders if Kyle is having a hard time because Dorit is not letting her in. But Rachel reminds Dorit that your girls should always have your back, so when Kyle did the “maybe he did or he didn’t” schtick about PK, it seemed odd. Dorit is sick of Kyle’s actions and words not lining up.

    Later, the ladies are cooking a late-night dinner! Kathy is whipping up pasta primavera while the rest of the group takes their time to join, especially Boz, who is having a hard time keeping up with her IVF injections.

    Amanda seeks Kyle out for some advice- aka sh*t talk. Amanda’s friend was out and some guy started talking about Sutton. This man, who was allegedly Avi, told Amanda’s friend, “Tell Amanda to call me and I’ll spill all the real dirt about Sutton.” This makes Kyle wonder why Sutton is so mysterious about the break up with Avi.  What is Sutton trying to hide?  They decide that Sutton should probably know that Avi is out here running his mouth about her.

    At 10 pm, Dorit meanders in. Dinner is still not close to getting done at 10:49 pm…mainly because Sutton is in charge of cooking the chicken and Sutton is late. Amanda voices her opinion on Sutton’s tardiness and when Sutton FINALLY enters, she explains she needed to take some time for herself.  

    Sutton absolutely should have brought in a personal chef because this is chaos.  While they wait for the meal to be done, Amanda claims Kyle “encouraged” her to talk to Sutton about what she heard.  Amanda relays the story to Sutton and adds that Avi also apparently said, “tell Amanda to hire me as her assistant. That would really p*ss Sutton off.” Sutton remains cool as a cucumber and Amanda looks almost mad that she did not make Sutton crack.

    Jennifer explains she thought the Avi and Sutton break-up was temporary, mainly because when she talked to Avi, that’s what HE relayed. Sutton states that this Amanda situation does not affect her in any way.

    It’s 11:46 pm, the dinner is still not ready and Amanda is STILL going on about Avi. Clearly the first time it didn’t cause Sutton to flinch and so Amanda is trying for round II. Sutton is unclear what Amanda is trying to do and she gets some advice from a very supportive Dorit. She explains that her life was “going in a direction” she didn’t like.  She spoke to her mom and Sutton realized that her anger from her failed marriage got pushed on other people. Now, Sutton is ready to be a good friend and a good person.

    At 12:48 am, dinner is finally served.

    The next morning, Erika enjoys an 11:30 margarita and Amanda realizes that she is on Sutton’s sh*t list now, especially after talking about her being late to dinner the night before (thanks to Jennifer coming through and making Sutton aware of Amanda’s smack talking). Amanda continues her pick-me behavior and explains to Rachel and Boz that with her husband, “I make in a month what he makes in a year.”

    Erika is sick of Amanda trying to “stunt in front” of them and does not appreciate Amanda taking work calls the entire car ride to shopping. Evidently, turquoise and cowboy hats are what you shop for in Sedona and these ladies are on a mission. They are dropping thousands at these stores.

    All that shopping makes them work up an appetite so they head to the airport for dinner.  It’s hot, they had to cook for themselves, and now they are eating at the airport runway?! Sutton sure planned this out. 

    Kyle asks Amanda if she is ok during dinner, but it’s clear that Amanda is still hanging on to her “beef” with Sutton. She does not like that Sutton confronted her with a “hey missy.”  The reality is that Amanda did not like that it got back to Sutton that she was talking about her lateness. Sutton promises that Amanda will know if she is mad. Sutton explains that she was late to cook the chicken (the main dish in Amanda’s eyes) NOT because of anything about Avi…she didn’t even know the situation yet!

    Sutton realizes that Amanda knows exactly what she is doing and she is attempting to use Sutton for attention. Sutton makes it clear that she is not interested in learning the facts that Amanda claims to know about Avi and shuts it down.  She will no longer talk about Avi in conversations and tells the group they are not to talk about him in front of her. Welp, looks like Sutton Stracke is back in action.

    Erika points out that when Sutton shuts them down about Avi, it makes the whole situation seem bigger than it is.  Sutton explains it was a painful falling out and wonders what the ladies want from her. Erika realizes that Amanda comes across as gossipy and it was not meant to be a friendly conversation. Sutton cuts Jennifer off when she tries to help and Jennifer immediately shuts up.  

    Jennifer excuses herself to use the bathroom with Kyle after Sutton jumped down her throat. Jennifer is tired of Sutton snapping at her and she has had it.  Just because Sutton is fragile, does not mean she always gets a pass, according to Jennifer.  Jennifer then tells Kyle that it’s always about Sutton and she thinks that has something to do with why Garcelle left.  Kyle is stunned. Jennifer repeats, “it’s not all about you, Sutton,” before returning to the table with Kyle.

    Dorit reminds Sutton that she’s got her back, which is a huge turning point in their relationship. Sutton is shocked at the connections she has made and now she is feeling part of the group, which makes her happy.  If only she knew how UNHAPPY she just made Jennifer…

  • ‘RHOBH’ Cast Reacts to Dorit Kemsley Being 90 Mins Late for Private Flight as She Details “Impossible Situation” She Was Faced With Before Boarding

    [ad_1]

    Dorit Kemsley arrived late to a private flight on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and after the show, her co-stars shared their thoughts.

    As Dorit, 49, explained her late arrival, sharing that she had been met with an “impossible situation” as the flight was set to leave, her castmates looked back on the “wild” and upsetting turn of events, as Sutton Stracke, 54, stated that she was “unfazed” by Dorit’s failure to be on time.

    “I’ve actually never seen anyone be that late for a private flight ever … then she just sort of waltzed in … it was wild,” Kyle Richards, 56, recalled on the January 8 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    “This is my third time to meet Dorit, and all three times, she’d been really late,” added Amanda Frances, 40.

    As Kyle and Amanda noted that they were afraid they’d lose their spot on the tarmac, Erika Jayne, 54, said the fact that Dorit was an hour and a half late felt like “a different level of late.”

    “[And] when she does show up, she looks like she’s overwhelmed,” she continued.

    Meanwhile, Sutton wasn’t bothered. 

    “It was the weirdest thing because I was really unfazed. It didn’t bother me,” she stated. “I thought, you know, this woman’s going through a lot. I don’t want to harass her about being late to an airplane.”

    Although Sutton confirmed that “other people were upset,” Rachel Zoe, 54, said she was “confused.”

    “I didn’t know if everyone else on the plane knew something I didn’t. I know from flying private for many years with friends and things like that, that like, when I’m going to someone’s plane, if they say, ‘Be there at 8 p.m.,’ I’m there at 7:20,” she reasoned.

    In her own After Show segment, Dorit recalled being “stressed and frazzled” on the day of the fight as she admitted to understanding her castmates’ frustrations.

    “I was very, very stressed and frazzled, and it took me more than a minute to like, breathe through it,” she shared. “There was, ‘Are you okay,’ ‘Is everything okay,’ but I think, understandably, when you’re sitting on a jet for 90 minutes, that’s very annoying.”

    As for what happened, Dorit said she “had a lot going on” because her two kids, son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9, were flying home from a two-week visit with her parents in Florida.

    “The kids were supposed to land with my mother in the morning. She’s got macular degeneration, and she can still see, but she cannot read things. She has to have someone do it, so I said to the dispatcher, ‘It’s very important that the driver has the flight info so he knows exactly where to send her … because she’s with my kids,’” she explained.

    Although Dorit expected the driver to take her mother and children to the correct airline, he brought them to the wrong terminal, which resulted in a “whole mess” that Dorit needed to sort through before boarding her own flight.

    “I needed to make sure that she and the kids had a flight … It was really, really an impossible situation,” she noted. “She was already very frantic, so for her not [be able to] reach me, and [know that] I was dealing with it, forget it.”

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Erika Jayne on Needing “Space” From Dorit, Kyle and Dorit’s “Layered” Feud, and Issue With Amanda, Plus What She Likes About Boyfriend John, and Why Cast Hasn’t Met Him

    [ad_1]

    Erika Jayne is speaking out about her current tension with Dorit Kemsley and sharing her thoughts on their future, as well as Dorit’s drama with Kyle Richards.

    As she also explained her issue with newbie Amanda Frances, 40, spoke of trading insults with Sutton Stracke, 54, and looked back on Bozoma “Boz” Saint John‘s dating event, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gushed over her boyfriend John “Shrek” McPhee and admitted that she doesn’t trust everyone on the cast.

    “Each woman has a different relationship with each other on the show. Certain people I can confide in and certain people I can’t,” Erika shared during an interview with Us Weekly shared on January 3.

    According to Erika, she loves and cares about Dorit, 49, “very much,” but feels that they need time apart before coming back together.

    “We just need a little space. I’m sure it will resolve itself on its own time. I think that Kyle and Dorit’s situation, and mine and Dorit’s situation … They have a very layered, different relationship, mostly because of their husbands. They’ve got all of that going on,” she explained. “I just have my one-way thing with Dorit, and I’m sure that in time, in its own time, will get worked out.”

    Moving on to Amanda, Erika suspected Amanda had joined the show unprepared.

    “Particularly on this show, you have to have a lot of life experience entering this group, and I think she could’ve used some more life experience,” she noted. 

    As for her back and forth with Sutton, Erika reasoned, “That’s housewives.”

    “You know that’s coming and I take it on the chin and I think she does too,” she shared. “I know she said she was hurt about the box comment but that’s our Southern shade. And I’m okay with that. That kind of stuff I can live with. The other sh*t is just like, too much.”

    Reflecting on Boz’s mixer, Erika revealed she can get “overwhelmed” and “shy” with men.

    “I’m a fish out of water. I don’t quite know what to do. If I’m not in charge, walking up to you and being like … I can’t sit around. I don’t know. It’s very weird,” she explained.

    Luckily, Erika won’t be doing any more speed dating anytime soon, as she seems to be content with John, whom she met through Spencer Pratt, 42, at a music festival.

    “I’d seen John on these two podcasts. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s that guy. I’m gonna walk up and say hello,’ and that’s exactly what I did. I have to be the aggressor,” she stated. “And he’s like, ‘What is this one?’ Thank god he met me in full costume so we don’t have to spring that on him at a later date … [he was] probably scared.”

    After noting that she’s attracted to men who are “confident and intelligent” and make her feel “comfortable” and “calm,” Erika said John “makes [her] feel really good and calm and peaceful .”

    “He’s a normal, regular person, and does not live in Los Angeles, and I think I needed space from all of this .. I needed a moment. It’s been a lot lately, for the last few years, so it was nice to have someone completely different,” she said.

    As for why the cast hadn’t met him, Erika explained, “Because I like him and I know how bad these things are for your relationship.”

    “I’ve gone through too much on this … I would like to keep that relationship special and over here if I could,” she stated.

    Also during the interview, Erika reflected on her mindset going into season 15.

    “I’ve always tried to approach each season like peaceful and open and excited for something new to happen, and I feel like my life has been steadily getting better. I’ve been brave enough to go through the worst part of my life on television and start in a place, go through a very low time, and try to, you know, continue to pull my way out of it and try to have fun,” she revealed.

  • Crystal Kung Minkoff Reveals What Kyle Told Her About Her Off-Camera Friendship With Dorit and Why She Wouldn’t Fit in With Current RHOBH Cast

    [ad_1]

    Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Crystal Kung Minkoff is revealing what Kyle Richards told her about her friendship with Dorit Kemsley. Plus, she’s opening up about the new cast and why it wouldn’t be the right dynamic for her.

    Crystal recently took to her Humble Brag podcast with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey. She started by discussing Kyle’s statement on Watch What Happens Live that she and Erika Jayne were no longer close with Dorit. She then highlighted how it was odd that Kyle revealed something that would happen later in the season.

    From there, she began to reveal what Kyle had told her. She said, “I had seen Kyle two days prior to that reunion(Crystal’s final reunion), and even in my mind, I thought they were close. I said, ‘Oh, I saw pictures, didn’t you and Mau and PK go to Mexico together?’ She goes, ‘Crystal, I literally have never had lunch with Dorit before in seven years.’”

    She continued recalling what Kyle told her, saying, ‘We’ve gone on one vacation together.’ She goes, ‘It was great. I love her, but I think people think our relationship is different from what it is. We don’t hang out off-camera like that. We don’t like go on a walk or whatever.’ She said, ‘We had never had dinner before, not on camera.”

    Crystal also mentioned that Kyle probably felt like Dorit had tried to make her look like a bad friend in the past, because the public didn’t know the true dynamics of their friendship. She also said that Kyle and Dorit may have “different perceptions of what their friendship is.” 

    This led Cynthia to bring up Maurico Umansky and Paul PK Kemsely being close friends. In response, Crystal stated that the husbands being so close may be why people think Kyle and Dorit have a similar relationship. 

    Elsewhere in the podcast, Crystal told Cynthia that she was finally ready to discuss RHOBH. She said, “I think this would not be my cast. Maybe that’s why.” She then noted that this wouldn’t be her cast because she wouldn’t fit in.

    She continued by saying that she knows Rachel Zoe because they’ve done mommy and me together. Crystal went on, “The new girl lives in Kyle’s house, who is a block away from me in Bel-Air, but I’ve never heard of her. I don’t know her.”

    The former RHOBH star added, “Yeah, I just feel like Garcelle leaving, Sutton around this dynamic with that crew, I don’t know. I don’t think that would have been the right dynamic for me. I wouldn’t want to navigate, cause I know I would have been the next person, well, if I had been there last year, I would have had to be part of that experience with Garcelle and Sutton.”

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursday nights.
