Dorit Kemsley criticized Erika Jayne for her defense of Kyle Richards regarding the text messages sent to Paul “PK” Kemsley during their separation.
After the recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Dorit, 48, and Kyle, 56, argued about a confidential text Kyle sent to 57-year-old PK promising not to disclose their conversations, Dorit expressed feeling hurt by Erika, 53, supporting Kyle’s actions in communicating with PK during their disagreement.

“That was hurtful. I consider you a friend as well. Your defense of her actions, while I believe she was in the wrong,” Dorit stated during the January 21 episode of RHOBH: After Show. “And just to be clear, Erika would not approve of such behavior.”
“Erika chose to believe what Kyle was saying because she feels like it’s too hard for her not to because she will think differently of Kyle,” she added.
Meanwhile, in her own RHOBH: After Show segment, Erika opened up about being in the middle of her two friends.
“I don’t want to choose anybody over anybody, and I’m sure it’s going to look like I’m the biggest f*cking flip-flopper ever. I hope not. But I was trying to be kind to two women who were in a terrible place,” she explained.
According to Erika, she told Dorit that she needed proof of wrongdoing in order to take a stance against Kyle, who insisted her comments to PK were about production, not Dorit.
“I’m not going to take a position on that because even if it was that way, I don’t want to believe that. Don’t try to push me into a place,” Erika stated. “I knew it was a terrible position. At some point, I was going to get it wrong, and I was going to have to step backward, which is what I did.”
Erika continued, “Both of these women are important to me, both of these women are going through very tough times in their life, and I’m going through a tough time in my life. I want to give everybody the grace and the love and support that I possibly can. I don’t want anybody to hurt more than they have to. So all I tried to do was show up and be kind, be supportive, and try to be as objective as I can with the information that I have.”
After then noting that she did not have “all the information,” Erika concluded that she had to take Dorit and Kyle’s personal struggles into consideration amid their feud.
“That, for me, is the biggest thing when I look at people’s behavior. Friendships are one thing, home is a whole other ball game,” she reasoned.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
