RHOBH Drama Explodes: Dorit Kemsley Accuses Erika Jayne of Joining the “Dark Side” & Blasts Kyle Richards for Letting Others Fight Her Battles
Tensions are running hotter than ever on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as Dorit Kemsley unleashes on both Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards following their explosive confrontation in Italy.
On the latest episode of the RHOBH: After Show, Dorit, 49, didn’t hold back, claiming that Erika had been “pulled to the dark side” after defending Kyle during their heated argument. Dorit alleged that Kyle deliberately brings others into her fights so she doesn’t have to face direct accountability.
“Kyle doesn’t want to deal with just her. She wants other people fighting the battles for her,” Dorit stated bluntly. She explained that she wanted a one-on-one conversation with Kyle but felt Erika kept interjecting on her behalf. “I wanted Kyle to be accountable… but Kyle makes it nearly impossible.”
Dorit also addressed the shocking moment when she allegedly left Erika and Kyle stranded after their group outing in Italy. While Erika expressed shock that Dorit “stole the production van and went away,” Dorit insisted she told the group she was leaving and claimed they had access to another car.
In her own confessional, Erika, 54, clapped back at Dorit’s behavior, revealing why she snapped during the argument. “We don’t talk like that to each other,” Erika said. “I’m not gonna be quiet… You can’t tell me to be quiet.”
Erika admitted she was hurt by Dorit’s sudden shift, saying, “I was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa! I’m your friend. I will always be your friend.’” She added that she understands Dorit’s struggles amid her split from PK Kemsley because she went through her own painful divorce from Thomas Girardi, but insisted there are limits. “This is my limit with that.”
Kyle Richards, 57, also weighed in, admitting she and Erika thought pulling Dorit aside for a private conversation would help mend their fractured friendship. Instead, Kyle said Dorit seemed unwilling to hear anything positive about her. “A friendship shouldn’t be this hard,” Kyle lamented. “I just don’t need that.”
The messy Italian vacation fallout has divided the cast, with newbies Amanda Frances and Jennifer Tilly also chiming in on Dorit’s decision to leave her castmates behind.
As Season 15 heads toward its finale, the once-close friendships between Dorit, Erika, and Kyle appear to be hanging by a thread.
