Dorit Kemsley On Where She Stands With Lisa Vanderpump After Attempting to Reach Out, Shares Most Surprising Moment of Season and Insists RHOBH Cast is ‘Closer’ Than Ever

Dorit Kemsley is opening up about the first Lisa Vanderpump-free season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

During a recent podcast appearance, Dorit spoke about the way in which she and her co-stars have maintained the show’s success after their “easy transition” into filming without Lisa before gushing over her friendships with her castmates, revealing one of the most surprising moments of season 10, and teasing the drama that is to come.

“The group, the core group, has gotten stronger and tighter, even though you wouldn’t guess that in some of the episodes,” Dorit said on the May 28 episode of Bravo by Betches’ Mention it All Podcast. “We’ve all known each other four or five years. We’ve got two new girls. They’re great additions. They’re also diametrical opposites and I think that’s what’s making it fresh and working.”

According to Dorit, no one knew what to expect from season 10 after learning Lisa wouldn’t be returning in June of last year. However, while Lisa did play a major role in the show, Dorit and her co-stars didn’t miss her during filming.

“You start filming and it just sort of goes and it happens. I don’t think there was really time to feel her absence. So it just felt very natural. None of us thought it would have been that easy of a transition but it really was,” Dorit explained.

Following the completion of RHOBH season 10, which featured Lisa being accused of leaking a negative story about Dorit abandoning a chihuahua mix from Vanderpump Dogs, Lisa and Dorit went their separate ways. Despite efforts to reach out, Dorit has yet to get back in touch with her former co-star.

“Sadly, we haven’t spoken and that’s not because I haven’t wanted to or haven’t made attempts,” she shared.

As for the future, Dorit said she’s hopeful for a reconciliation but not holding her breath.

“I always say I’m hopeful for the future and you never know but I’m not stopping life and waiting for it to happen,” she admitted.

While there were a number of shocking moments seen in the RHOBH trailer for season 10, Dorit said that one of the most surprising moments so far was the drama surrounding her glam arrival to Teddi Mellencamp‘s accountability event.

“I never in a million years expected that. It’s not like I went one season with no glam and suddenly now it’s the most important thing. I’ve always been a glam girl,” she explained.

Regarding what is to come, Dorit teased the cast’s trip to Rome before saying that bombs will soon be dropping.

“There’s drama… and then the drama gets bigger and bigger and then bigger. And then there’s a few bombs! So there’s a lot to look forward to,” she added.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 10 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
