Dorit Kemsley has just pulled back the curtain on the brutal reality of her life, both on and off-camera. In a series of stunning BravoCon revelations, she has exposed a shocking, unexpected feud with Erika Jayne, confirmed that her friendship with Kyle Richards is in shambles, and admitted her co-parenting relationship with PK Kemsley is a “challenging” nightmare.
The first bombshell was the revelation of a shocking, out-of-the-blue fight with her once-close ally, Erika Jayne.
“It came out of nowhere. It was so unexpected. It was shocking,
” Dorit admitted, describing the confrontation. Erika herself confirmed the meltdown, stating simply, “I love Dorit. I lost it on Dorit. It is what it is.” The casual dismissal of her own rage only adds to the chilling nature of the feud.
Perhaps more painfully, Dorit confirmed that her fragile truce with Kyle Richards has completely disintegrated. While Kyle tried to spin a narrative of them making progress before taking “four steps back,” Dorit immediately shut down that version of events.
“I don’t know that I agree with going through a difficult time and it making it hard to move forward,” Dorit countered, her frustration palpable. “I kind of thought we were moving forward… That’s not the reality.
“
An insider source explained the deep-seated issue: “Dorit feels like Kyle is never honest with her. She thinks they’re in a good place, and then she gets blindsided. The trust is completely broken, and Dorit is done playing the game.”
While fighting wars with her castmates, Dorit is also navigating a personal hell at home. She gave a grim update on co-parenting with her estranged husband, PK Kemsley.
“It’s challenging,” she admitted. “I hope that it settles because I think that’s really important. We need to be able to prioritize the children, and I’m hopeful that at some point it gets a little bit easier.” Her words paint a picture of a difficult and tense situation, a far cry from a peaceful separation.
THE CONCLUSION
Dorit Kemsley is a woman under siege. Her friendships are in ruins, her divorce is a “challenging” battle, and the stress is clearly taking a toll, as she admitted she’s smoking “more now than ever.” While she has found new allies in newcomers Rachel Zoe and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, the OG alliances that once defined her place in Beverly Hills have crumbled to dust. Dorit is on an island, and the storm is raging from all sides.
Tamra Judge
called out Gretchen Rossi during a series of appearances at BravoCon this past weekend.
In addition to accusing her Real Housewives of Orange County castmate of “lying,” “making up rumors,” and having a hatred toward the community, Tamra, 58, said that Gretchen, 47, was trying to play nice to “save her job,” reacted to
During an interview with Chanel Ayan, 47, for Bravo, Tamra reacted to Gretchen and
“I can do that, but I don’t know that Gretchen can do that. I think Jen has it in her, but I don’t think — well, Gretchen’s still fighting about things from 15 years ago that I have no interest in. And when you’re lying and making up rumors and having this hatred toward the community, I can’t stand for it,” Tamra replied.
Then, when she was asked about Gretchen saying they’d be okay, Tamra said they “will not.”
“She wants to save her job,” she explained. “There’s no room in my life for her — not for somebody with her beliefs.”
During an interview with Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap, Tamra had stern words for Jennifer.
“You’re f*cking toxic,” she stated. “I’m actually one of the most successful housewives on my cast, so I’m doing something right, Jennifer Lawrence.”
“It was unfortunate that she said that,” Tamra continued. “I feel like those are really strong words coming from … I always looked up to her. And I just think, like, you don’t know me. I’m on a reality show, and there’s a lot that you don’t know. And I’m sorry you feel that way.”
Tamra also spoke to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea about Gretchen, saying they were “two people that cannot be in the same room.”
“I tried to move on with her. The whole half of the season, I tried to move on, and it was one story and lie about me after another, and I just don’t feel like there’s any room on the show for somebody like that. I think that you have to be open and honest and not blame other things on other people or create lies. And I just, it’s not for me,” she explained.
Also at BravoCon, Tamra admitted there were so “many misconceptions” about her.
“I think people think that I’m just this big villain that doesn’t have a heart, and I do. I promise you. There’s stories out there that my children don’t speak to me. No, they do. We’re all good. And I think that’s really hard, especially when the kids are brought into things. Like, don’t f*cking talk about my kids. Okay? Don’t do that,” she declared.
“And just the whole, ‘She’s the villain. Stir the pot.’ Yes, on the show, I abso-f*cking-lutely am. And I do my job and I take it very serious,” she added. “[And] I don’t make up stories. I don’t lie.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 reunion concludes on Thursday, November 20, at 8/7c on Bravo.
