âI mean, the car ride there, I had my suspicions,â she explained of Kyle and Erikaâs invitation to sightsee and grab gelato during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15, Episode 15. âAnd then when this, this, this? I was like, âYou know what? Iâm out.ââ
She felt set up by the others. âThere was already this atmosphere,” she shared.
The two-on-one nature of the discussion led to her breaking point. âKyle makes it nearly impossible [to talk alone]. She makes sure she has someone there thatâs going to interject, thatâs going to keep her from being able to actually answer the question directly,â Dorit explained. âAnd thatâs what was happening. There was a frustration. I could see at that momentâI got up very quickly. I already got it.â
âErika, she got pulled to the dark side [by Kyle]. It was very clear,â Dorit added.
The others were shocked by her decision. âI did not expect her to steal the production van and go away,â Erika said on the After Show. âBut, I donât think Dorit is in a place where she wants to hear anything. I donât know why she thinks I should stay out of it.”
She later continued, “She almost, like, turned on me, and I was like, âWhoa, whoa, whoa!â she said, and later during the After Show added, âI care for Dorit. I want a friendship with DoritâŚbut there are limits. And this is my limit with that. Like, you canât tell me to be quiet and sât like thatâlike, no.â
When Bozoma Saint John asked Dorit if she was âplanning to send the car back for them,â Dorit answered, âThey had a car.â (But the March 26 RHOBH episode shows Kyle and Erika waiting nearly a half hour for another car to pick them up, after they had to call for one.)
Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne’s beef with Dorit Kemsley in Italy, explained
For Dorit, the root of the problem stems back to âtrust issuesâ with Kyle from Season 14. âThe whole text message with PK thing. This year, weâre supposed to be working back. Getting to a place where we do trust one another,â she pointed out. âAnd how am I supposed to trust someone, whoâs going behind my back in my most vulnerable time, talking bad about me?â
During RHOBH Season 15, Kyle has made no secret of her own feelings about Doritâs behavior, and has spoken at various times throughout the season to Boz, Erika, Kathy Hilton, Sutton Stracke, Amanda Frances, and Rachel Zoe.
âDoritâs behavior lately has just been so strange. Sheâs either late, or always on her phone,â Kyle said during the March 26 episode. âIâm worried about her. I want to help, or get to the bottom of this.â
Later, Dorit called Kyle out on her conversations with others in the group: âAll I know is, Iâm being told that Kyle has these conversations saying that Iâm acting erratic, and brings up being late, and spending [money].â
âIâm saying nothing that the rest of the group has not said,” Kyle argued.
Dorit later added that she just wanted Kyle to own âher own opinion,â and to stop being âsuch a shây friend by bringing my other friends into it.â
During the gelato outing, Dorit’s breaking point came when she tried to address Kyle directly. âListen, I want to have a conversation about the fact that I feel you have a real tough time showing me support,â she said during the March 26 episode, referencing her pending divorce from Paul “PK” Kemsley. But Kyle pointed out that Dorit doesnât ask about Kyleâs own separation from Mauricio Umansky.
âHow do you measure support?â Dorit then asked Kyle, but it was Erika who answered, âNo, I think the question is how do you measure it, because you donât feel it.â
Dorit became visibly upset over Erika âinterjectingâ herself into the conversation, but Erika insisted, âYeah, Iâm gonna still do it. Iâm not gonna stop talking, Dorit.â
âThis has been a fâking ambush,â Dorit complained in her confessional. âWhy the fâk do these girls think that they can do this? Iâm not staying for this sât.â
Dorit walked away, calling, âLetâs go!â But when Kyle and Erika refused, she went back to the car alone, and left alone.
“A friendship shouldn’t be this hard,” Kyle pointed out on the After Show of the disastrous conversation. “I just don’t need that. I just don’t.”
When Dorit, Kyle and Erika returned to the villa after their argument and the other âWives heard what happened, Boz and Rachel had concerns that they were brought into the fight.
âI donât appreciate being dragged into this whole conversation, Kyle,â Boz shared in her confessional. âBecause I had a concern, that I only expressed because you were talking about your concerns, and guess what? I took my concern to Dorit.â
Rachel added, âI have said, âOkay, sheâs late. Okay, sheâs this.â But I am not gonna jump in on the âI am worried about your finances. Iâm worried about your spending. Iâm worried that youâre not mentally stable.'” She told producers, âI donât know that to be true. I think there has to be a very clear line of âWho is you all? Who is we all?â And Iâm not part of the all.â
Dorit shared another reason she ended up leaving without Kyle and Erika. âI left because it didnât feel like it was conversational. It didnât feel gentle. It felt deflective. It felt aggressive,â Dorit explained to Kyle over dinner with the group. âWhat I said to you was, âI want to talk about our friendship, how youâre feeling,’ and you kept bringing it back to the group.â
ICYMI, Kyle teased why the upcoming RHOBH Season 15 reunion was ârough.â
