Dorit Kemsley Says Kyle Set Her Up Before She Took Off in Italy

Dorit Kemsley is finally explaining why she left Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne behind in Italy, and according to her, she had no choice.

After the shocking moment aired on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit addressed the situation on the After Show, revealing she felt completely set up.

“I mean, the car ride there, I had my suspicions,” she said. “And then when this, this, this? I was like, ‘You know what? I’m out.’”

According to Dorit, the dynamic immediately felt off — especially being put in a two-on-one situation with Kyle and Erika.

“There was already this atmosphere,” she explained. “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.”

That frustration quickly reached a breaking point.

“I could see at that moment — I got up very quickly. I already got it.”

Dorit also accused Erika of siding with Kyle during the confrontation.

“Erika, she got pulled to the dark side [by Kyle]. It was very clear,” she said.

From Dorit’s perspective, the conversation wasn’t a discussion — it was an ambush.

“This has been a f—king ambush,” she said in her confessional. “Why the f—k do these girls think that they can do this? I’m not staying for this s—t.”

So, she didn’t.

After attempting to walk away, Dorit returned to the car and left without them — despite Kyle and Erika refusing to join her.

When asked if she planned to send the car back, Dorit insisted they had another option.

“They had a car.”

However, the episode showed a different reality, with Kyle and Erika waiting nearly 30 minutes for another ride after Dorit took off.

Erika, for her part, was caught off guard by Dorit’s decision.

“I did not expect her to steal the production van and go away,” she said. “But I don’t think Dorit is in a place where she wants to hear anything.”

She also pushed back on Dorit’s reaction to her involvement in the conversation.

“I care for Dorit. I want a friendship with Dorit… but there are limits,” Erika said. “You can’t tell me to be quiet and s—t like that.”

Meanwhile, Kyle suggested Dorit’s behavior has been concerning throughout the season.

“Dorit’s behavior lately has just been so strange,” Kyle said. “I’m worried about her. I want to help, or get to the bottom of this.”

But Dorit sees it very differently — and says the real issue is trust.

“The whole text message with PK thing… how am I supposed to trust someone who’s going behind my back in my most vulnerable time, talking bad about me?” she said.

As for where things stand now, it doesn’t sound like they’re in a good place.

“A friendship shouldn’t be this hard,” Kyle admitted.

And after that Italy blowup, it’s clear this friendship might be harder to fix than ever.
