Dorit Kemsley is not holding back when it comes to Amanda Frances.
While promoting her new memoir, Unburdened, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently spoke with Danny Murphy and Evan Real on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, where she opened up about her fractured relationship with Amanda and made it very clear that the two are not in a good place.
Dorit and Amanda’s tension has been brewing since Amanda made comments about buying Dorit’s house, which did not sit well with Dorit. Now, Dorit is calling the remarks “cringe” and accusing Amanda of portraying a version of her life that does not feel fully authentic.
When asked where things stand with Amanda now, Dorit said there is no communication between them.
“No we don’t talk; We don’t talk,” Dorit said.
Dorit then addressed Amanda’s podcast comments about potentially buying her home and did not mince words.
“I mean, I find that really cringe, but I think a lot of the things that come out of her mouth, you know, are kind of cringe,” Dorit said.
The RHOBH star explained that her bigger issue with Amanda was not just one comment. According to Dorit, she did not feel like Amanda was showing her real life on the show.
“Also, you know, I wasn’t getting authentic vibes. That was the issue that I had,” Dorit explained. “There was something, it was very much like, let me portray like everything is absolutely perfect. My life is perfect. My marriage is perfect. My kids and that’s great. I mean, and I think she’s got a beautiful life and children and she’s happy and I wish her all the best. However, it’s not real because nobody has only perfect life.”
Amanda entered RHOBH as a successful entrepreneur known for her money manifestation business and online courses. Throughout the season, she often spoke about her business, mindset and success, but some cast members questioned how much of her personal life she was actually willing to show.
Dorit echoed that concern, saying Amanda had plenty of opinions about others but seemed to avoid letting the group go deeper with her.
“And I also think that there was, you know, she had a lot of opinions, but really anytime we wanted to talk about her, it was about her business and it was only about her business,” Dorit said.
Dorit admitted that she originally thought there was potential for a friendship between them. However, things changed once Sutton Stracke told her Amanda had allegedly been speaking about her behind her back.
“And it just felt, her and I, I thought in the beginning that we might be friends. And then Sutton had told me that she was saying those things behind my back,” Dorit said.
Dorit also addressed the controversy involving Amanda’s late son, explaining that she had no idea the timing was connected to the anniversary of his passing.
“Obviously, I had no idea it was the anniversary of her son’s passing. Of course, I would never ever have brought that up, right?” Dorit said. “That turned into something.”
Dorit said if Amanda wants to hold onto negativity, that is her choice. But she ended the conversation with one very sharp final dig.
“And then she wants to hold on to some negativity, she can. However, I don’t think that bitch is going to be buying my house anytime soon.”
When it comes to Amanda, Dorit seems to be making one thing very clear. She does not believe the “perfect life” image is real, and she is not interested in pretending their friendship is in a good place.
Garcelle Beauvais is opening up about where things stand with Sutton Stracke, and it sounds like their once-close friendship is not what it used to be.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently appeared on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, where she reflected on an awkward run-in with Sutton at a Hollywood event.
Garcelle and Sutton’s friendship was one of the more beloved dynamics on RHOBH. The two were once extremely close and often had each other’s backs within the group. However, after Garcelle’s exit from the show, fans began wondering if the friendship had changed behind the scenes.
According to Garcelle, she did have a genuine friendship with Sutton, but their recent interaction made it clear that things are different now.
“I did. But I did go to a premiere of Song Sung Blue and I hear, ‘Hello, Garcelle,’ and I turn to my right, and it’s Sutton. I said, ‘Hello, Sutton.’”
Beauvais said the exchange was brief and noticeably different from how they used to be together.
She continued, “That was really it. And it was so strange because then I got on the carpet, and she was on the carpet, but we were far apart. Before, we would be like, tied to the hip if we were together at an event. It’s just odd when things like that happen.”
Beauvais added, “I’m a big believer in, sometimes not everything lasts forever, and it’s okay,” Garcelle stated. “You can still have fondness for that.”
Beauvais’ comments come after she previously opened up about why she walked away from RHOBH. She admitted that when she sat at the reunion and looked around, she felt like she no longer had any friends on the show.
For now, she appears at peace with where things stand.
But for RHOBH fans who loved her friendship with Sutton, the update may be disappointing.
Dorit Kemsley is opening up about one of the most emotionally complicated seasons of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills run.
While promoting her new memoir, Unburdened, Dorit recently spoke with Page Six Radio hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real on SiriusXM, where she discussed everything from her current relationship with Erika Jayne to filming the breakdown of her marriage to PK Kemsley and the unexpected tension with Kyle Richards.
Dorit has had a difficult few years, both on and off camera. RHOBH viewers watched her navigate the aftermath of her terrifying home invasion, growing distance in her marriage, her separation from PK and the unraveling of some of her closest friendships in the group.
Despite butting heads with Erika during the season, Dorit revealed that the two have been texting again and that there is still love between them.
“Well, I had reached out to her when I had seen, you know, there were some headlines about her upcoming trial and that firm that bought her trial. I got, you know, really upset and I reached out,” Dorit said. “She messaged me right back with the same warmth that we would even before we ever had any issue. And then she reached out to me weeks later also when the headlines in the press and we talked about getting together very soon and there’s a lot of love there. There’s a lot of love. There’s a lot of history.”
Dorit explained that before their emotional moment in Italy, she and Erika had never really had major issues in their friendship.
“You know, prior to that one moment in Italy, Erika and I didn’t have, we never had a cross word. You know, we’ve always been good,” Dorit said.
That “one moment in Italy” became a major topic on RHOBH, especially because Dorit was already dealing with so much emotionally. The trip took place while Dorit was navigating major stress in her personal life, including her separation from PK and her strained friendship with Kyle.
Dorit said filming through a divorce made everything even more difficult because she was living it in real time while cameras were following her every move.
“So, you know, there’s there was a lot of emotions. It’s been a really challenging couple of years,” Dorit said. “I, by no means, feel like the only woman going through a divorce, of course not, but when you have a camera that is tracking your every move and I’m living real time, you know, and I really wanted things to be good with PK, but we were not communicating and things were difficult.”
Dorit and PK announced their separation in May 2024 after years of speculation about their marriage. Dorit later filed for divorce. In her book, she details the painful breakdown of their relationship, including issues with communication, finances, PK’s drinking and the emotional distance that developed after her 2021 home invasion.
But while Dorit expected filming her marriage struggles to be hard, she admitted she did not expect her friendship with Kyle to become such a major source of pain.
“And then obviously to have the issues with Kyle, which I did not expect going into the season. I thought we really turned a corner,” Dorit said.
Dorit and Kyle’s friendship has been one of RHOBH’s most talked about dynamics. The two were once extremely close, but their relationship became strained as both women dealt with major personal changes. Dorit has said she felt Kyle pulled away, while Kyle appeared frustrated by Dorit’s expectations of their friendship.
That tension played into what Dorit says felt like an ambush in Italy.
“So then to feel that it was I felt blindsided and that’s exactly how I felt by Erika in Italy because I had just been in her room at 2:00 in the morning the night before sitting on her bed in the pitch black. She was getting ready to sleep or I think I may have even woken her up. And you know we talked and everything was good and everything was fine,” Dorit explained.
Dorit said the next day felt completely different.
“And then the next day, just out of nowhere in this desolate town, I think her intention was to kind of get Kyle and I back together, but the,” Dorit said before Evan Real chimed in.
“It felt like an ambush,” Evan said.

Candiace Dillard Bassett is opening up about an awkward Bravo crossover moment with Ciara Miller.
The former Real Housewives of Potomac star recently spoke about attending the Las Culturistas Awards in Los Angeles, where she crossed paths with some familiar Bravo faces, including Summer House stars Ciara Miller and Mia Alario.
While speaking on Undomesticated, Candiace shared that she was excited to meet both women, especially after watching the Summer House reunion and seeing how much fans responded to Mia’s commentary.
“I got to meet Ciara and Mia,” Dillard said.
She explained that after watching the reunion, she found Mia hilarious and described her as the kind of friend everyone needs in their corner.
But when it came to Ciara, Candiace admitted the interaction felt different.
“Ciara was interesting. I dont know if she was not in the mood or if we have beef. Or if I ever said something to offend her but she was very dry with me. I dont know if she was like that with everyone else but she was kind of just like…”okay.” I was telling her how she was killing it,” Candiace said.
According to Candiace, she was trying to give Ciara her flowers after a major Summer House season, but felt like the energy was not really returned.

The Summer House star has been front and center following the fallout from West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s romance, which became one of the biggest storylines of the season. Ciara has been praised by fans and even Andy Cohen for how she handled herself at the reunion, where she confronted both her ex and her former best friend with confidence and clarity.
So it makes sense that Candiace wanted to acknowledge Ciara’s strong reunion performance.
Still, the RHOP alum said the interaction at the Las Culturistas Awards was unexpectedly cold, leaving her unsure whether Ciara was simply not in the mood or if there was some issue she did not know about.
Despite that, Candiace made it clear that there are no hard feelings on her end.
She added that even though Ciara gave her no energy back, she is still rooting for her.
Gia Giudice is weighing in on Bethenny Frankel’s drama with Dina Manzo’s daughter, Lexi Ioannou, and she is making it very clear whose side she is on.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter spoke about the situation on her Casual Chaos podcast, where she defended Lexi after Bethenny was called out for wearing shoes from Lexi’s brand, Nou, without properly crediting the company.
Gia, whose mom Teresa Giudice was once close with Dina Manzo, explained that she still has a relationship with Lexi and was not happy with how Bethenny handled the situation.
“I do have a relationship with her. I am so proud of her. I have the new shoes. And I did see all the backlash about what Bethenny Frankel was doing, and I did not appreciate it. Just say where your shoes are from.”
The drama started when Lexi called Bethenny out on Instagram after the former Real Housewives of New York City star posted content wearing a pair of shoes from Nou. According to Lexi, she had sent Bethenny the shoes almost a year earlier because she looked up to her as a female entrepreneur and fellow Bravo universe figure.
However, when fans started asking where the shoes were from, Lexi claimed Bethenny linked a similar pair from another brand with an affiliate link instead of giving Nou credit.
Lexi addressed the situation in an Instagram video last month.
“Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo,” Lexi said at the time. “I sent her a pair of shoes, from Nou, almost a year ago because I look up to her. Female entrepreneur, Bravo universe like me, and she’s been on Shark Tank.”
Lexi said she understood that Bethenny may not have tagged the shoes when she first received them, but felt differently once the post started getting attention.
“OK, that happens, but then she posted a video today that’s going viral and a bunch of people are asking where the shoes are from. Instead of linking them, she linked a dupe with an affiliate link,” Lexi previously said. “I guess she’s got to get that bag in some sort of way? So, she got the shoes for free from a woman founded brand, mine, and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else.”
Dina Manzo also defended her daughter, calling out Bethenny on Instagram and later telling Lexi she was proud of her for standing up for herself and the brand she worked hard to build.
Bethenny eventually responded on TikTok, explaining that her team linked a different shoe because the Nou shoes were sold out and her audience gets frustrated when they cannot immediately buy something she posts.
“The audience gets frustrated when they can’t buy something immediately. Why would I wear and talk about it if they can’t buy it?” Bethenny said.
Bethenny also made it clear that she does not believe she owes any brand promotion just because they send her free products.
She said she has no “obligation” to “link, like, use, wear, buy, tag,” any brand that sends her gifted items.
Bethenny then turned the situation into a business lesson, saying, “The business lesson is: there are other lovely things on this person’s site and there are about a hundred brands that will watch this video and will message her to tell her how much product I move — how many Sprinkle cookies for Melissa Gorga, how many dresses for Amy Brooke, how many pairs of jeans for Guess — I move a lot of product because I don’t bulls–t.”
She continued, “So, playing the short game and whining and being a crybaby about something that didn’t go your way in business means you’re not a real business person.”
Bethenny added, “You have a lot to learn because I would have worn all the shoes on your site and you would have sold thousands of pairs and made hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
Now, Gia is making it clear that she did not appreciate Bethenny’s response.
Gia said Lexi’s reaction reminded her of Dina, adding, “Lexi is so Dina-coded. And she is obviously my aunt Dina’s daughter. And it is just so funny the way that she responded back and was like, ‘Excuse me, now I don’t like you. I used to look up to you, but now I don’t like you.’”
Gia said it was “weird” that Bethenny did not simply give Lexi credit for the shoes.
“Lexi is a young entrepreneur. I mean, God bless her. They’re becoming wildly successful, and the brand is evolving, but just give her the credit,” Gia continued. “Just give the girl some credit, help her grow her business.”
Gia then called Bethenny’s behavior “crazy” and defended the quality of Lexi’s shoes.
“It’s crazy behavior,” Gia said. “And then to insult the shoes. Come on. Lexi puts in the work. They’re handmade from Portugal.”
Rulla Pontarelli is not letting the internet run wild with speculation about her marriage.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star responded after we received a viewer tip claiming Rulla and her husband, Brian, were spotted out to dinner in Rhode Island and that the interaction between them seemed “awkward.”
Rulla and Brian’s marriage has been one of the most talked about storylines during RHORI’s first season, after allegations of Brian’s affair became a major topic on and off camera. Despite the drama, Rulla has continued to stand by her husband and has said the two are working on their marriage.
The latest speculation started after a viewer sent photos to the Roxanne and Shantel podcast, along with a message about seeing the couple out together.
The tip read, “Had a rulla and Brian sighting here in little rhody last night for dinner. Sat behind them ! The entire interaction seemed very awkward and off, not like in a relationship at all! Also left in two different cars, weirdddddd”
After the photos were shared, Rulla responded directly to the viewer who sent them in and pushed back on the claim that anything was off between her and Brian.
“Looking for attention here, we see? That’s par for the course. We were happy and toasting our drinks and conversing privately. Clearly you didn’t want to capture the REALITY,” Rulla wrote.
Rulla then explained why she and Brian arrived and left separately, saying their schedules simply did not line up that day.
“We are busy people. We each made time for a bite and came from separate meetings. I don’t know what makes arriving and leaving in separate cars unusual when people are coming from two different places and have to carry on with their days thereafter. Some of us have multiple businesses and obligations where others don’t,” she continued.
Pontarelli ended her message by calling out what she believed was an attempt to create drama.
“Let’s be nice and stop the bullshit. It is clear that you are trying to stir the pot to get a few likes and comments. Find another hobby and don’t lie.”
The response comes after Rulla and Brian addressed their marriage publicly on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Rulla previously said the two were “working on things” and claimed they were in a better place after the affair drama.
“We’re working on things, to be honest,” Rulla said at the time. “We’re in a much better place than we were before. It’s like it was prior to the affair—and better.”
Brian also said from the audience that he and Rulla were “stronger than ever.”
Still, because RHORI viewers have watched their marriage drama unfold on the show, every public sighting of the couple is now being dissected. Andy Cohen has even weighed in on her first season, saying she seemed to think she could hide more from the cameras than is possible.
“Rulla feels like an interesting case study of someone who, in her first season of Housewives, seems to think she can hide more from the cameras than is possible,” Andy previously said.
Pontarelli, however, appears to be making it clear that not every dinner outing needs to become a storyline.
Ciara Miller is saying the quiet part out loud.
The Summer House star was recently featured in Interview Magazine, where she gave her unfiltered takes on everything from Bravo fame to producers, Prozac and karma. And in true Ciara fashion, she managed to be funny, honest and just shady enough to get fans talking.
Ciara has been having one of her most talked about seasons yet, especially after the fallout involving her ex West Wilson and former best friend Amanda Batula. The drama has taken over the Summer House reunion, with Ciara making it clear that she feels betrayed by both of them.
So when Ciara was asked about karma, her answer definitely stood out.
“I believe in it, and I know a few people who’ve got some bad karma coming in their future.”
While Ciara did not name names, fans will obviously wonder whether she was referring to some of her Summer House castmates. After all, Ciara has been front and center in one of the messiest friend group fallouts Bravo has seen in a while.
Ciara also opened up about what makes reality TV work behind the scenes, giving major credit to producers. According to her, having the right producer is everything, especially when you are expected to be vulnerable on camera.
“Really good producers are the difference between life and death. On my show, they know they have to give me the same producer every year. I can’t tell my secrets to a new one. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they tried.”
That comment gives fans a peek behind the curtain of Summer House and the trust that has to exist between cast members and production. Ciara has shared plenty on the show over the years, from relationship heartbreak to friendship drama, so it makes sense that she would want someone familiar behind the camera.
Ciara also weighed in on what it feels like to be a Bravolebrity, calling it a strange kind of fame.
“It’s a weird sub-genre of celebrity. It’s really nuts when real celebrities are excited to meet you. It’s the strangest out-of-body experience, because I’m like,‘Well, you’re the star.’”
Ciara’s point is relatable for Bravo fans who have watched reality stars become major pop culture figures. Summer House may have started as a show about weekends in the Hamptons, but its cast has become increasingly visible in fashion, entertainment and celebrity spaces.
And Ciara is no exception. Between her modeling career, red carpet appearances and Bravo popularity, she has become one of the franchise’s most recognizable faces.
Still, Ciara is also open about the emotional side of being on reality TV. When asked about Prozac, she joked about how much she loves it while also admitting she is still very much a crier.
“I need to up my dose, because I’m still crying quite a bit for someone on this high of a dose. I mean, not as much as pre-Prozac. I could cry just talking about how much I love it right now.”
It also tracks with what fans have seen from her this season. Miller has been emotional but composed while confronting Amanda and West, especially after learning that Amanda had feelings for West and allegedly was not honest with her when asked directly.
Throughout the Summer House reunion, Miller has been praised for how clearly she expressed herself. Andy Cohen even recently said he had “never seen anyone more ready” for a reunion, calling Ciara clear, confident and strong.
Dorit Kemsley is pulling back the curtain on what she says really happened behind closed doors in her marriage to PK Kemsley.
In her debut memoir, Unburdened, which was published on Tuesday, June 2, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star details the highs and lows of her relationship with PK, from the early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their marriage.
Dorit and PK tied the knot in 2015 and share two children, Jagger, 12, and Phoenix, 10. After years of speculation about their relationship, the couple announced their separation in May 2024. Dorit later filed for divorce the following year.
In the book, Dorit explains that her decision to continue on RHOBH was heavily influenced by PK. Although she was unsure about returning to the show, she says PK encouraged her and saw the opportunity differently than she did.
“When the season wrapped and they asked me back, I stood at a quiet crossroads. Part of me hoped they wouldn’t,” Dorit wrote. “But they did ask. And I said yes. The principal reason was simple: PK.”
Dorit said PK was proud of her for being part of the Bravo world and believed the exposure could create new opportunities.
“He was proud of me — like, genuinely proud. He loved seeing me step into the alluring world of television: the events, the fashion, the travel, the visibility,” she wrote.
According to Dorit, PK saw “something strategic” in her becoming a Housewife.
“In Los Angeles, visibility has value. It opens doors. It builds leverage. It creates opportunity not just socially, but professionally, too,” Dorit wrote. “He saw possibility where I saw disruption.”
Dorit admitted that part of her wanted to make PK happy and that his belief in her mattered deeply at the time.
“I liked bringing something into our marriage that excited him. I liked seeing that spark in his eyes when he talked about what it could become,” she wrote. “I liked being admired by my husband. I liked knowing he believed I could do it. I trusted that he saw something in the opportunity that I did not yet appreciate.”
But as Dorit continues in the memoir, she says there was also a quieter change happening in their marriage, and that shift “began with drinking.”
Dorit wrote that as their responsibilities grew, she began to notice a difference in how she and PK handled alcohol.
“I could enjoy a vodka soda and call it a night. For PK, the line blurred more easily,” she wrote. “Over time, I began to notice the difference between celebration and reliance. The drinking no longer amplified his charm; it dulled his warmth. The man who had once been magnetic and playful became, at times, unpredictable.”
Dorit said she eventually became anxious when PK would start drinking, not because she wanted to control him, but because she feared how the night could unfold.
“Not because I wanted to control him, but because I knew how the night might unfold. I would soften my tone,” she explained. “Redirect conversations. Try to steady the mood before it tipped. He would brush it off, saying he was fine and that it was nothing.”
PK has since publicly spoken about his sobriety journey, but Dorit’s memoir gives more insight into how his drinking affected their marriage at the time.
Dorit also recalled the first time PK cursed at her, saying the moment changed something between them.
According to Dorit, “the first time” PK cursed at her, “something foundational had cracked in a way I couldn’t immediately repair.”
After that, Dorit said the couple began marriage counseling.
The revelations come after Dorit spent her most recent RHOBH season opening up more than ever about the state of her marriage. Viewers watched her admit that she and PK were struggling, while also trying to process the emotional aftermath of her 2021 home invasion and the tension in her friendships with Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne.
