Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley Aren’t Speaking After Explosive ‘RHOBH’ Reunion
On this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley’s feud with Kyle Richards impacted her relationship with Erika Jayne. Following an argument in Italy, Kemsley said she felt Jayne had gone to the “dark side.” The reunion reportedly did nothing to bring them to a point of understanding. Jayne said that she and Kemsley are not on speaking terms at this point.

In Italy, Jayne and Richards spoke to Kemsley about what they viewed as her erratic behavior. Kemsley prickled at this attempted intervention. She felt Richards was using Jayne as a shield.
“Kyle makes it nearly impossible [to talk alone]. She makes sure she has someone there that’s going to interject, that’s going to keep her from being able to actually answer the question directly,” Kemsley said on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show. “And that’s what was happening. There was a frustration. I could see at that moment — I got up very quickly. I already got it.”
At one point, she said she asked Jayne to stop talking, which infuriated the other women.
“Erika, she got pulled to the dark side. It was very clear,” she said. “Up until now, Erika had maintained that anytime Kyle had asked her or anyone had mentioned, Erika had said, ‘Listen, I just think Dorit is overwhelmed, and blah, blah, blah.’ Now, Kyle and I are having this, and Erika’s chiming in and chiming in, and so I said, ‘Hold on just one second, Erika.’ That’s what I had said. And Erika said, ‘No, I’m not gonna shut up. And you can’t make me shut up.’”
The conversation ended with Kemsley leaving her two co-stars and taking their van.

Jayne said that while she loves Kemsley, the conversation in Italy was a breaking point for their relationship.
“I care for Dorit. I want a friendship with Dorit … but there are limits,” she said on the After Show. “And this is my limit with that. Like, you can’t tell me to be quiet and s*** like that — like, no.”
Jayne said that they were unable to resolve their problems during the reunion. If anything, things have chilled even further between them.
“We don’t speak. No.. Nothing got resolved,” she told Access Hollywood. “I mean, but I said it wouldn’t. So, no.”
Still, she said she is open to repairing the relationship. The RHOBH reunion will air in April.
She also got into it with Kyle Richards
Kemsley and Richards were at odds this season. Richards accused her cast mate of always looking for the worst in her.
“The way she treats me is different from how she treats the other women. That’s the main issue,” she said. “She wants to find a fault in everything I say and do. [Bozoma Saint John] could say the same thing, and it would be met with completely different words and received, you know, in a positive way. … If someone wants to see the worst in you, they’re going to.”
Kemsley accused Richards of talking badly about her to the other women.
