RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Discusses Erika “[Losing] It” on Her, Ups and Downs With Kyle, and Co-Parenting With PK Amid Divorce, Plus Update on Boz Friendship

Dorit Kemsley opened up about her drama with Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards during a panel at BravoCon on Friday.

Weeks before the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15, Dorit, 49, recalled Erika, 54, “[losing] it” on her, spoke of her ups and downs with Kyle, 56, and admitted that co-parenting with her estranged husband, 

“It came out of left field. It was very surprising. Shocking,” Dorit admitted of her spat with Erika in a clip shared by Us Weekly.

“I love Dorit. I lost it on Dorit. That’s the way it happened,” Erika explained.

As for Kyle, she told Us Weekly that her and Dorit’s tension was “sad,” since they “love and care about each other,” and admitted to feeling that their respective splits from 

“We both went through a very difficult time, which I think made it difficult to move forward,” she shared. “And then coming into this season, we were able to make progress, which was great, and then we made three steps forward and maybe four steps back.”

“Would you agree with that assessment?” she then asked Dorit.

“I don’t know that I would agree with going through a difficult time and making it difficult to move forward. I thought we were moving forward. In fact, I thought at the reunion that we had moved forward,” she replied.

According to Kyle, she felt that they were in a “good place” at a certain point.

“Definitely. I would agree with that. But it didn’t really turn out to be that way,” Dorit noted.

As she navigated her drama with her RHOBH castmates, Dorit was also faced with drama from her ex.

“It’s challenging,” she told Us Weekly of co-parenting her two kids, Jagger, 11, and Phoenix, 9, with PK. “I’m hoping that things will sort of straighten out because I think that that’s really important. We need to be able to prioritize our children, and I’m hoping that at some point things will become a little bit less challenging.”

During another interview, with Chanel Ayan, 47, for Bravo, Dorit said she and PK were “still going through a divorce” and noted that while she and Kyle “were” doing better during season 15, they’re currently “working through [their] issues” in hopes of getting to a “better place.

As for who she was close with amid production, Dorit named newbie Rachel Zoe, 54.

“I love Rachel Zoe. Absolutely love her. In fact, I say this and I stand by it, two of the greatest casting choices in Beverly Hills ever, ever, in the history of Beverly Hills? Boz and Rachel,” she declared.

“Boz and I have a very close relationship. I love her with my heart and soul,” she added.

Also speaking to Ayan, Dorit confirmed she’s still smoking.

“Yes, I am. In fact, probably now more than ever,” she stated.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 premieres on Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.

The long-running civil lawsuit against Alec Baldwin stemming from the fatal 2021 Rust shooting has reached a breaking point. The actor is now facing unprecedented legal jeopardy after attorneys for gaffer Serge Svetnoy revealed a crucial piece of evidence in court: Baldwin allegedly refused to appear for a legally required deposition, yet was photographed attending a taping of Dancing with the Stars to support his wife, Hilaria Baldwin.

This blatant display of personal convenience over judicial obligation has reportedly infuriated the presiding judge, leading to an alleged threat to not only impose a colossal $3 MILLION FINE but to escalate the penalty by making it a CRIMINAL legal precedent, citing Baldwin’s conduct as a profound disregard for the rule of law.

For months, Svetnoy’s legal team has been attempting to secure Baldwin’s deposition—key testimony for the civil suit where Svetnoy claims he suffered severe emotional distress after witnessing the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

On November 12, Svetnoy’s lawyer revealed the shocking pattern of evasion: “In every instance, [Alec and the other defendants] claimed to be unavailable or simply refused to testify.” The documents specifically point out the hypocrisy of Baldwin’s excuses:

The lawyer wrote: “Despite claiming to have work commitment throughout most of September 2025, Alec, 67, would travel to and appear in Los Angeles, California, at the taping of an episode of Dancing With the Stars to support his wife.”

This act of prioritizing a televised celebrity appearance over a court-ordered duty has been presented as definitive proof of Baldwin’s BLATANT disregard for justice.

Sources close to the Los Angeles Superior Court claim the judge was incensed by the evidence of the evasion. While the $3 million figure is tied to potential punitive damages in the civil suit, the judge allegedly threatened to use this case as an opportunity to set a dramatic CRIMINAL legal precedent for non-compliance with subpoenas.

The judicial threat is reportedly twofold:

Maximum Penalty: The judge is said to be demanding Baldwin face the MAXIMUM penalty for civil contempt, which could include massive fines and even potential incarceration if the contempt is deemed willful.

Criminal Precedent: By linking the $3M financial penalty to the deliberate evasion, the court could send a chilling message to high-profile defendants, essentially classifying a calculated refusal to testify—particularly when balanced against non-essential public appearances—as an obstruction of justice that warrants unprecedented and potentially criminal consequences.

Svetnoy’s attorney quoted Albert Einstein in the filing, stating, “‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.’ [Svetnoy] now moves [to] break this cycle of insanity.” The court appears ready to grant that break—with catastrophic consequences for the actor.

The legal fallout from the Rust tragedy continues to mount, but this latest development threatens to redefine the legal repercussions for celebrity defendants who believe their fame exempts them from court-ordered duties.
