The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently celebrated the wedding of her daughter, Alexia Umansky, who tied the knot with longtime love Jake Zingerman on September 6. While the event was full of emotional and sweet moments, including Kyle and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky sharing a touching dance with the bride, it didn’t take long for fans to focus on something else: the absence of Dorit Kemsley in a group photo posted days later.

In a September 8 Instagram post, Richards shared a joyful snapshot featuring herself alongside fellow RHOBH cast members Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp, and Erika Jayne. The caption read:

“Celebrating love & life without a single table being flipped, nor a glass of wine tossed.”

But one fan quickly noticed someone missing, asking in the comments:

“Where is @DoritKemsley ”

Richards responded directly, putting the rumors to rest:

“She was there & so was Sutton … both just missed the photo.”

Though Kyle and Dorit had a rocky relationship in the most recent season of RHOBH, marked by tensions and personal struggles, both women are now separated from their husbands, things appear to have settled between them. Kyle’s clarification signals that despite not appearing in the photo, Dorit was present for the special day.

I wonder if the wedding will be part of next season. That's probably the only reason Sutton and Dorit were there.

Last season, I thought they missed an opportunity to feature Kyle and Dorit bonding over their mutual separations, especially considering the fact that for years, the foursome were portrayed as the "Ricardos and the Mertzes". Instead, they the script went in the opposite direction, highlighting Dorit's season long (and over-the-top) moment of reckoning with Kyle.

If I were Dorit and Sutton, I wouldn't want to be in a picture with Kyle and those others d-list celebrities. Why pretend friendship at a wedding you are required by contract to attend when you have to pretend friendship for the show.

I think they probably get along outside of filming and amp up the drama for the show.
