Dorit Kemsley is opening up about what really went down at Alexia Umansky’s wedding and, according to her, the night was far from welcoming.
Speaking on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Dorit revealed she was unsure whether her estranged husband Paul Kemsley would even be attending.
“PK, I don’t know if he got the invitation last minute because up until the day before, I didn’t even know he was going to the wedding. But then I found out,” she said.
Despite the uncertainty and ongoing tension within the group, Dorit decided to attend the wedding solo and made it clear she did so confidently.
“And by the way, everybody, all of them bitches, thought, ‘She’s never gonna show up.’ In fact, they probably invited PK so that I wouldn’t show up. Guess what I did? I showed the f*** up, on my own, walked in, head held fing high all on my own, all of the bitches standing there, and Kathy Hilton comes up to me, and she’s like, ‘You are fing pure class.’”
However, Dorit claims the reception she received from the rest of the group was cold at best. According to her, several cast members, including Erika Jayne and Sutton Stracke, along with PK, did not acknowledge her at all.
“These motherf***ers, not one of them — Erika, Sutton, and PK — acknowledged my presence. Not one,” she stated.
Dorit also questioned whether Kyle Richards’ decision to invite her was genuine or simply about optics.
“Because how is she gonna explain not inviting me if she’s saying she wants to move forward, if she’s playing this publicly, she’s saying, ‘I want to move forward, I’m so glad it’s behind us?’ That’s the image that she’s portraying,” Dorit said.
She did note that Kyle was the only one who made an effort during the event.
“She’s the only one. She did. She came up to me, and she gave me a kiss, and she said, you know, ‘Thank you for coming.’”
From Kyle’s perspective, the decision to invite both Dorit and PK was more practical than personal. She explained that it was important to include close friends for her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky.
“To me, it was, you know, we invite both, and whoever’s not comfortable, you know, they’re not gonna come. And he’s one of Mau’s best friends, and Mau wants his close friends there. And, you know, lo and behold, they both showed up,” she said, adding that she doesn’t believe Dorit and PK interacted.
Kyle also pointed out that the distance went both ways.
“She didn’t speak to us either,” she shared, recalling a tense moment at the bar where Dorit and Erika stood near each other but did not engage at all.
“It was like they didn’t even see each other. It was a really uncomfortable moment,” she explained.
Erika echoed that sentiment, confirming Dorit kept her distance but still acknowledging the effort it took to attend.
“She didn’t speak to us. But it was a beautiful night. This is being adults and showing up for people when maybe everything isn’t so comfortable. And you do that for your friends.”
Despite everything, Kyle admitted that Dorit’s presence did not go unnoticed and meant more than she expected given their strained relationship.
“I mean, despite everything that happened between us after Italy, I did appreciate that she came to Alexia’s wedding. Seeing her there honestly gave me a little bit of hope. It reminded me of the Dorit I know. I know she cares about my daughters just like I care about her kids, and my girls have always had a soft spot for her because she’s been so kind to them over the years. So it did mean something to me that she showed up, even if we weren’t really speaking that night,” she explained.
While the wedding may have been a milestone celebration, it also highlighted just how fractured these relationships have become — with both sides walking away from the night with very different takeaways.
