In the trailer for the upcoming season 15 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, Dorit Kemsley is asked what it is about Kyle Richards that she thinks makes people want to please her.
“She has the power to get anyone off the show,” Dorit replies.
In the wake of her comments, an insider spoke exclusively to Reality Blurb to back Dorit’s allegation about Kyle.
“What Dorit’s saying about Kyle having influence on people’s positions on the show is true,” they stated.
They insisted viewers need only “look at how things have gone over the years.”
“People are finally starting to figure out that’s why Sutton and Erika are always kissing up to her,” they continued. “They don’t agree with her and everything she says. It’s more that they’re afraid of her.”
The insider noted that since Kyle was made an unofficial executive producer of RHOBH, this “has always been a thing.”
“While production didn’t think it would mean that much at first, it basically took on a life of its own and became a thing,” they elaborated. “It’s been talked about for years but is finally coming to the forefront because Dorit verbalized it and they aired it.”
On the season 15 finale, Dorit got into an explosive confrontation with Kyle and Erika after they skipped her book party.
The day after, Dorit explained that she had a “deep pain in her heart” about the Erika of it all, due to their friendship being a decade-long. While Dorit wondered what she did to get on Erika’s bad side, she surmised Kyle got into her ear. Dorit also noted her friendship with Erika must not have been as strong as she thought it was.
Later, at a party hosted by Kathy Hilton, Kyle wished Dorit well on her event, but stressed that even if things were great between them, it would have been a struggle for her to attend due to exhaustion. The pair continued to go back and forth, with Dorit insisting Kyle was getting a gang together to come after her.
Dorit then went off on Erika for not attending her event, but Erika kept cool, calm, and collected.
Based on the reunion trailer, things clearly have not gotten better between the trio since the show aired.
“She wants to play this villain now that everyone thought was cool,” Kyle is seen telling Erika. “She was smoking, so now she walks around puffing her cigarette, acting like an a**hole because people thought it was cool. You have fun with that.”
“This is about the three of us coming apart,” Erika then tells Kyle.
When on the reunion stage, Dorit also points a finger at Kyle, accusing her of going “into this season with a plan.”
“Are you kidding me?” Kyle asks her.
“Saying that I’m manic? Saying that I’m erratic?” Dorit responds.
Dorit also is seen apologizing to Erika, and Erika questions its sincerity.
“No, Erika. I’m a cold-hearted f*cking c*nt,” Dorit tells her.
The three-part RHOBH reunion begins airing Thursday, April 23, at 8/7c on Bravo.
