On this episode of the Dorit show, I mean The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion part 2, talking in circles and looking for support seem to be common themes. Kyle opens up about her marriage situation and Sutton gets called out for her “Fancy Drew” ways. Erika stands by not showing up to Dorit’s event and carries immense hurt by a comment Dorit made about…you guessed it, support.
Cue the video of Bozoma stating she lost money with her business venture, just as Amanda stated. Boz doubles-down and reminds Amanda that it is not a “failure” because she was not trying to get rich. Instead, she was teaching these classes out of the goodness of her heart.
Boz’s comment about Amanda walking away from a cult just to build one gets shut down by Amanda. Amanda claims that her business encourages women to think for themselves, which goes against cult mentality, but Boz claps back, stating, “You encourage women to think the same way about a concept.”
On the topic of the cult, Amanda is up to chapter 6 of her book (should have hired a ghost writer like Dorit…bet she’d be done by now!). Sutton, aka Fancy Drew, was leading the charge on digging deep into Amanda’s past. How else would Sutton know that Amanda took out a $2 million dollar loan right before filming?
Amanda denies this, of course. Sutton plays coy, but she is not new to investigating the women- that one season she was all up in Erika’s dirty business!
Dorit lets Amanda know that Sutton even joked about signing up for one of her courses because it would be funny. Amanda cuts them off and reminds them that this is her package, so the ladies better back off.
Andy tries to right the ship by going back to the Chat GPT searches Erika made about Amanda. Upon her own investigation, Amanda found Chat GPT gave Boz a lousy review, which in turn makes Boz get defensive. Boz points out that a Chief Marketing Officer is a short tenure job, so that would explain her short stints at companies.
Kyle wants everyone to support the women’s businesses, which sets Dorit off. According to Dorit, Kyle did not support her first business venture in YEARS and Kyle points out that, historically, she HAS been there for Dorit. Dorit doesn’t want Kyle to go back in time, but rather questions Kyle’s support now.
Kyle whips out receipts to prove that Dorit claimed to be okay with her missing the book cover party. But Kyle feels like once the cameras are up, it seems like Dorit takes that moment to share her frustrations, especially with Boz.
Dorit hates seeing the jealousy seethe out of Kyle’s pores and it seems like everyone is confused how we got here. Dorit tries to connect it to the fact that she is sick of Kyle suggesting she is influenced by Boz.
Kyle points out that the past two years they have not even been friends, so THAT is why she is forced to refer to historical supportive moments. Dorit feels like Kyle’s words don’t match her actions, but Kyle reminds Dorit that since the day she came onto the show, she always defended her and her accent (SHA-DEY!), and the burglary, and so on.
Amanda cracks up because this is the end of her segment and it has gotten absolutely hijacked by the dueling ex-friends. Andy brings up the issues between Amanda and Dorit and Dorit remains steadfast that Amanda should have kept her opinions about the divorce to herself.
But Rachel has a whole other problem with Amanda. When Dorit came in all excited about her book, Amanda sh*t all over it, reminding the world that SHE wrote her OWN book and essentially slamming Dorit for using a ghost writer. Amanda does apologize and Rachel reminds Amanda that she needs to stop one-upping people. Amanda claims that, despite it all, she actually likes the hearts of all the women, but it took her a while to feel like herself in this group.
During a lunch break, Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton arrive at the set. Kathy, the birthday girl, has seemingly brought her entire bed with her in preparation for the event.
They are a welcome addition to the sofas and they all swoon over Jennifer’s custom-made Balmain dress featuring her own face. Kathy’s fashion inspo, on the other hand, is brought to you by the AI jell-o diet which has left her nothing but bloated. Only Kathy…
Kyle, the longest running housewife for 15 consecutive years, talks about the emotions she felt after visiting her old house that Amanda now lives in. It really struck a chord with her, versus Mauricio’s disconnect. Kyle admits that this disconnect certainly contributed to their separation and that Mau is living a very different life than her.
Over the holidays, Mau was busy being a single guy right in front of Kyle, his wife of 30 years. Rachel points out that it was hard to watch and Kathy feels like there may be a little denial with their relationship.
“He lives a totally different life. I see him everywhere. I see him like three times a week,” says Rachel about Mauricio, suggesting that Mauricio has moved on from his marriage with Kyle.
Kyle explains that they haven’t pulled the trigger yet because neither person has anyone else to push things along. According to Kyle, she likes them being able to spend time together on family vacations even if they end the nights in separate bedrooms. Kyle feels that if either of them files for divorce, this dynamic will change. But Boz wonders if they don’t do it now, it may not be as cordial. When asked by Dorit if Kyle is simply waiting for Mau to come back, Kyle claims she is unsure what she wants to do.
Kyle makes it clear that half of The Agency is hers. Money changes things, according to Sutton, and she shares that she still gets spousal support. Rachel jokes if she can marry and divorce Sutton’s ex so she, too, can get the big money.
Kyle explains that “money, fame, and traveling” played a huge part in their demise and if life did not get in the way, they would still be together (she shared this all while Kathy took a call on set-lol).
Kyle has been tight-lipped about her dating life and she explains that a lot of people on this show have had quiet relationships. Kyle says that there was no ultimatum that led to their break up and Dorit claims she was protecting Kyle and this relationship for years.
Kyle realizes that she did put the ladies in uncomfortable situations by keeping it so hush hush, but “not everything is up for public consumption.” Dorit is unsure if when Kyle is not filming she is back in the relationship, but Kyle denies this and states she is over the break up… despite buying a home near Nashville where Morgan lives… and being seen together with Morgan in Nashville just weeks ago. Perhaps Dorit is onto something!
At this point, it feels like Kyle is gaslighting us (the audience), and producers and Andy Cohen are helping her to do it. #Teamwork! Kudos to Dorit for asking Andy to redirect his question about Kyle’s relationship to Kyle who is right there beside him. If I didn’t know any better, I would say Andy was scared to ask Kyle about this. #Strange.
“Do you think when [Kyle] is not filming, she’s back in a relationship?” Andy asks Dorit.
“I don’t know. Ask her! She’s right to your right,” snapped Dorit to Andy.

The tension was quite thick between Andy and Dorit during this reunion. But this segment won’t help quiet down those pesky rumors of Kyle being a secret producer on the show with a lot of power behind the scenes.
Dorit believes she DID make progress with Sutton… until she didn’t. Sutton admits that she was getting lost and drinking too frequently and so the booze break did her good.
Regarding Garcelle, Sutton would still do anything for Garcelle and her boys. She knows the minute their friendship changed was when she stated she was getting along with Erika at the last reunion, coming off of Erika claiming Garcelle was very boring and did nothing on the show. Jennifer knows that Garcelle and Sutton had a true friendship and Sutton hopes that one day they can reconcile.

Jennifer takes a moment to apologize to Sutton because she knew Sutton was overwhelmed. She states that Sutton is a very good friend to her and Sutton apologizes for “barking” at Jennifer.
When it comes to Sutton and Dorit, things went south. Sutton asks Dorit to just listen and explains that she was not coming for her. Dorit claims to know Sutton’s “eye,” and feels as though Sutton had an agenda at the party. And so, when Sutton did not show up to Dorit’s book cover party, that was the last straw.
Kathy wonders if Dorit really cares if Sutton did or did not show up to the book cover party. Dorit points out that she supported Sutton at her fashion show. However, Sutton makes it clear that Dorit “came [to her fashion show] with an inauthentic smile because you couldn’t wait to trash it.”
When Dorit saw Erika and Sutton together during the book cover launch, that hurt her. Erika did not come because she was very hurt, particularly because Dorit asked her, “Why are you trying to save yourself?” Dorit insinuated that Erika was coming after her just to save her job. Erika is upset because she put a lot out there this season.
Dorit feels like Erika unleashed on her and Erika clarifies that when Dorit said “Boz has supported me more than anybody in this group,” she lost it. When Andy asks Dorit if she should apologize, she retorts, “apologize for what, Andy?” Sooo, we’re not making any progress here.
