Erika Jayne Teases Just How "Honest" Dorit Kemsley Is on RHOBH Season 14
Erika says Dorit will speak candidly about her marital issues with PK Kemsley.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 will undoubtedly deliver shocking moments and bombshell revelations. But what will leave fans the most surprised? Well, if you ask Erika Jayne, it'll be Dorit Kemsley’s candidness.
“I think Dorit gets very honest about what has happened in her personal life,” the “Pretty Mess” artist told The Daily Dish. “And I think people have seen one part of her marriage in one presentation, and now you will see another in this season.”
Dorit to address her and PK Kemsley's marriage issues
Season 14 will shed more light on Dorit’s marital split from Paul “PK” Kemsley. The two announced their separation back in May, just two months after celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary.
Per the new season’s press release: “Dorit Kemsley opens up to the women about her marriage to PK, sharing that their struggles run deeper than she’s admitted to in the past. As they navigate a separation, Dorit faces a rollercoaster of emotions while trying to shield their children from the fallout. Discovering her voice, she’s not afraid to speak up for what she wants out of her relationships.”
Erika weighs in on Dorit's feud with Kyle Richards
But Dorit’s relationship issues aren’t just limited to PK. In Season 13, the Beverly Beach boss had a shocking fallout with her longtime bestie/castmate Kyle Richards. Erika confirmed the feud spilled over into Season 14, which caused uncomfortable moments within the friend group.
“Well, as anybody who has been stuck between two friends knows, eventually you will step in it with one of them, right?” she told The Daily Dish. “You will piss one of them off. And, look, I love those women very much. I’ve known them for a long time, and they are going through the worst time in their lives, and I have to be friends to both of them. But at some point, they had to take the conversation to each other, and they did. So I did the best I could.”
Erika insisted she wanted “nothing but the best” for Dorit and Kyle, who also separated from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, in 2023; however, Erika admitted the rift was much deeper than she initially thought.
“I do think that there were more disagreements there than I knew, and there were a lot more hurt feelings than I realized, on both sides,” she continued. “And when they both told me, I was like, oh, OK… They definitely had some things to work out.”
Erika says RHOBH Season 14 will "be wonderful"
But what about Erika’s relationship with the rest of the Beverly Hills cast? Although she confirmed a clash with Sutton Stracke, Erika said she enjoyed her time with returning friend Kathy Hilton as well as newbies Bozoma Saint John and Jennifer Tilly.
“I really enjoy getting to know Boz. I think she’s a great new addition to the show, and Jennifer Tilly is lovely,” she said. “And, you know, it’s good to see Kathy again. It really was a fun time with a lot of great women. I think this season is going to be wonderful. I think that you get to really delve into the authentic relationships that we have in this group, and I’m excited to watch with everyone else.”
