Kyle Richards: Friendship with Dorit Kemsley is ‘Worse’

It looks like the friendship between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley has hit a serious rough patch. As Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills unfolds, Kyle is opening up about the deep-seated tensions and the breakdown of their once-strong bond. The drama, hinted at in the season trailer, is apparently rooted in communication issues.

Communication Breakdown

Kyle shared that Dorit can be quite rigid in her thinking. “When she has something in her head, that’s it,” Kyle explained, making it incredibly challenging to have productive conversations. This lack of open-mindedness has left Kyle feeling frustrated, especially as Erika Jayne gets drawn into their conflict. It’s a situation Kyle describes as feeling like “two steps forward, three steps back.”

Unfortunately, any glimmer of hope for reconciliation seems to have faded as filming progressed. Kyle admitted, “I would love to say we’re in a better place now, but it got worse, and things came to blows in Italy.” Ouch! That sounds like some serious drama went down.

Navigating Past Connections

Adding another layer to this complex situation is Kyle’s past friendship with Dorit’s estranged husband, PK Kemsley. Kyle confirmed that she is no longer in contact with PK, which might be a contributing factor to the strain between her and Dorit.

Interestingly, Season 15 will also feature Dorit meeting with Kyle’s ex-husband, Mauricio Umansky. Kyle stated that she fully supported this interaction, which raises questions about why her own friendship with PK wasn’t viewed in the same light. When asked about this apparent double standard, Kyle suggested it’s a question best posed to Dorit herself, as she was “totally fine” with Dorit and Mauricio spending time together.

The premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is set to air on Thursday, December 4th, at 8/7c, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. Get ready for a season filled with intense conversations, escalating conflicts, and a friendship that’s clearly on the rocks.
