The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are known for their drama both on and off the screen, and it seems like Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley are currently at odds. Us Weekly recently reported that Richards spoke out about her strained relationship with Kemsley on the December 4 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. The tension between the two castmates stems from a blowout argument during the season 15 cast’s vacation in Italy.
Richards, a seasoned veteran of RHOBH since its first season, expressed her surprise at the discord with Kemsley, as they had been on the show together for a considerable amount of time. She noted that their long history on the show made the conflict more challenging than if it had involved a newer cast member. The disagreement ultimately led to Richards and fellow castmate Erika Jayne refusing to speak to Kemsley, creating a palpable rift within the group.
Further adding fuel to the fire, Richards revealed in a 2025 interview with Entertainment Tonight that she had exchanged memes with Dorit’s estranged husband, PK Kemsley, during RHOBH Season 14 following their separation in May 2024. The revelation came as a surprise to Dorit, as Richards had not informed her about the communication due to their strained relationship at the time.
Despite the tension between Richards and Dorit, Richards emphasized that her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, and PK Kemsley are close friends. In season 15, Umansky and Dorit met to discuss her separation from PK, a move that Richards fully supported. She expressed a desire for Umansky to help Dorit and PK navigate a peaceful separation, highlighting her willingness to set aside personal differences for the greater good.
As the drama continues to unfold among the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, one thing is clear: Richards and Dorit may not be on the best terms currently, but Richards remains optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation in the future. Despite the bumps along the way, the glitz and glamour of Beverly Hills always make for compelling television.
