Dorit Kemsley is at the heart of the drama in season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

This season, Dorit has clashed with multiple castmates, including Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, and Erika Jayne. The conflicts come as Dorit navigates a challenging split from her husband, PK Kemsley, which she’s described as leaving her in a “perpetual state of heartbreak” and “riddled with anxiety” over her finances. 

Erika Jane wants a friendship with Dorit Kemsley, but there are ‘limits’ 

Given the stress she’s under, it’s no huge surprise that Dorit has vented some of her frustration on her fellow RHOBH stars. But has she taken things too far? In a recent episode, she left Erika and Kyle stranded in Italy after she felt the other women ganged up on her during a sightseeing trip. 

“I did not expect her to steal the production van and go away,” Erika said on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show. “But, I don’t think Dorit is in a place where she wants to hear anything. I don’t know why she thinks I should stay out of it.”

“I want a friendship with Dorit…but there are limits,” she added.  

“A friendship shouldn’t be this hard,” Kyle said on the After Show. “I just don’t need that. I just don’t.”

Meanwhile, Dorit said she didn’t feel that her friends had her back during a difficult time. 

“I don’t feel supported by Kyle,” Dorit said on the After Show. “It’s not OK for her to go around to everyone in the group saying that I’m acting erratic, rather than coming to me. 

Sutton Stracke accuses Dorit of engaging in ‘mean girl’ behavior

Soon after the Italy debacle, Dorit clashed with Sutton at Rachel Zoe’s Studio 54-themed birthday party. Sutton’s suggested that Dorit apologize to Kyle. Dorit’s rude response made it clear she didn’t appreciate Sutton inserting herself into the drama. 

“This is like Mean Girl Dorit 101,”  Sutton said in a confessional. “‘Oh, I don’t like something that you said, so now I’m going to make you feel real stupid and ignore you so you feel even smaller.’ It’s so mean. She’s showing her true colors, and she’s only about herself.”

With RHOBH Season 15 drawing to a close, Dorit has found herself increasingly isolated from the rest of the cast. The group came together to film the reunion in mid-March, and the vibe was tense, Kyle has teased. 

“It was rough,” she said during an Amazon Live stream on March 17 (via Bravo). 

“Because, you know, the situation with Dorit, Erika, and myself is hard because we care about each other, and it’s gotten so bad. It’s just very difficult,” she said. “So that part was for me, the most difficult part.”

Kyle went on to describe the reunion in three words: “Torture, infuriating, and sad,” she said. “Traumatic, long, I’m adding some words.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 finale airs April 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The reunion kicks off on April 23. Episodes stream the next day on Bravo.
