The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kyle Richards is teasing major drama between her, Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley in season 15.
Kyle, 56, shared on the Thursday, December 4, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that she and Erika, 53, are no longer speaking to Dorit, 49, following an argument during a season 15 cast trip to Italy, which viewers will see play out this season.
“I didn’t think we were supposed to say, but it pretty much came out at BravoCon that Erika and I are not speaking with Dorit and vice versa, because we had a very big blowout on our cast trip,” Kyle teased.
Kyle continued, “That was really shocking, because we have been there the longest and obviously know each other the best and [were] the closest. So, it’s always a lot more difficult when that’s the case instead of a new person coming in.”

Viewers saw Kyle and Dorit’s longstanding friendship fracture during RHOBH season 14, but the pair appeared to reach an accord by the end of the season.
Ahead of the new season, Kyle gave an update on where she stands with Dorit exclusively to Us Weekly.
“She’s not open-minded to listening to you, and when she has something in her head, that’s it,” Kyle explained to Us. “It’s really frustrating to try to have a conversation with her. Unfortunately, we tried to fix things, and it was like two steps forward, three steps back.”
“I would love to say we’re in a better place now, but it got worse, and things came to blows in Italy when Erika was part of that too. That part’s been hard,” Kyle added.

Kyle and Dorit seemed on good terms during Thursday’s RHOBH season 15 premiere, with Kyle noting in a confessional, “Dorit and I have had our ups and downs at times, but last year was a new low. I think until we spend more time with each other, it’s going to be a work in progress.”
One of the points of contention between the longtime friends was Kyle’s friendship with Dorit’s estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, from whom Dorit separated in May 2024. Kyle told Us that she has since stopped communicating with PK.
Season 15 will feature a sit-down conversation between Dorit and Kyle’s estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky.
Asked why it was apparently OK for Dorit and Mauricio to remain friends but not her and PK, Kyle told Us, “That’s a good question to ask her.”
“I was totally fine with them doing that, by the way. Just like I know she was fine with [PK sending me] memes,” she said, adding that she “encouraged” Dorit and Mauricio’s meetup.
“I genuinely felt like Mau could maybe help bridge the gap with [Dorit and PK],” she said. “What they’re going through, they cannot see eye to eye. It’s, unfortunately, not been real friendly.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
