Lisa Vanderpump isn’t best friends with Dorit Kemsley after all.
During a recent After Show taping for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa opened up about her relationship with Dorit and her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, as Kyle Richards explained her confusion about what she was hearing about the closeness between them.
First, Lisa clarified her relationship with PK.
“PK, we weren’t close to but we certainly ran in the same circles. We had good mutual friends, people that were common denominators through a large social circle in Europe and London. I always enjoyed his company. He had a good humor and I adored him,” Lisa explained.
As for Dorit, Lisa said, “I don’t know Dorit very well at all.”
“I was very honest when she was talking behind my back last year of saying, ‘I’ve loved you because of PK and I’ve grown to love you.’ I said that,” Lisa noted. “And when she was talking smack behind my back last year, well, that wasn’t exactly a pleasant position to be in when you are trying to have allegiance to them as a couple but I made allowances for it.”
According to Lisa, she was accused of protecting Dorit during the very first episode of the RHOBH season nine when in fact she’s done her best to protect all of her friends.
“I think you saw in the dog center that first day when all that kicked off. I was in an emotional place and I was saying, ‘Let’s shut this down,’ and Kyle said, ‘Why are you always trying to protect Dorit?'” she recalled. “I’ve tried to protect any of my friends. And that’s what pisses me off about this whole scenario.”
In another After Show segment, which featured Dorit and Kyle, Dorit admitted that Kyle was far closer to Lisa than she was as Kyle explained why she was caught off guard when she began hearing that Dorit and PK were “best friends” with Lisa.
“The reason I had to point this out is because I keep hearing all this, ‘We’re best friends,’ from Lisa and Dorit and I’m not jealous in any, way, shape, or form. I’m actually not a jealous person at all. I love all my friends to be friends with everybody but I’d never heard of Dorit or PK before a couple of years ago,” Kyle explained. “I went to a dinner at PUMP and all the sudden it’s like, you just like fell from the sky.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.
