Dorit Kemsley may have had a rocky season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but not every friendship is beyond repair.
The RHOBH star is opening up about where she stands with Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards after a tense season and an even more emotional reunion. While Dorit found herself at odds with several women in the group, it sounds like her relationship with Erika is already in a much better place.
While speaking with E! News about her new memoir, Unburdened, Dorit revealed that she and Erika have been in contact since the heated reunion.
“Erika and I have had some texts back and forth,” Dorit admitted. “And it was as warm as it always was. It’s a testament to our connection. It’s almost a decade-long friendship.”
That update may come as a surprise to some RHOBH fans, especially after Dorit and Erika butted heads throughout the season. The two had several tense moments, and their friendship appeared to be strained as Dorit navigated her separation from PK Kemsley, her fallout with Kyle and the emotional weight of everything happening in her personal life.
Still, Dorit seems to believe her bond with Erika is strong enough to survive a difficult season.
Her friendship with Kyle, however, appears to be in a very different place.
“Kyle and I have not spoken yet,” Dorit said.
Dorit and Kyle’s friendship has been one of the most talked about relationships on RHOBH in recent years. The two were once extremely close, but things between them slowly unraveled as both women dealt with major personal issues and questioned whether the other was truly showing up for them.
Their tension became a major storyline, with Dorit feeling hurt by Kyle and Kyle appearing frustrated by Dorit’s expectations. By the reunion, it was clear that the friendship had taken a serious hit.
Even though Dorit and Kyle have not spoken since the reunion, Dorit said she is still open to moving forward if both sides are willing.
“But I say, and I stand by this, when you have two people that want to resolve something, that’s all you need,” Dorit said.
Dorit explained that repairing things with Kyle may not mean going back to exactly what they once were. Instead, it may require both of them accepting that the friendship has changed.
Dorit said she is open to resolving their issues, but that could mean “looking at how our friendship has taken a different shape.”
She added, “Hopefully, Kyle will get there. And her and I can at least take a step forward.”
For now, Erika and Dorit may be warming back up, while Dorit and Kyle remain stuck in silence.
And if RHOBH Season 16 moves forward with all three women, these friendships may be front and center once again.
