Dorit Kemsley’s child bride comment about co-star Crystal Minkoff came back to haunt her at the RHOBH season 13 reunion.
If you remember, Dorit Kemsley took major issue with Annemarie Wiley’s claim that Crystal Minkoff told her that the Beverly Hills Housewives were “uneducated.”
The comment rubbed Dorit the wrong way so much so that in her confessional interview, the 47-year-old clapped back, calling the 40-year-old a “child bride.”
In RHOBH season 13 confessional, Dorit said, “By the way, child bride, while you were busy getting married at 12, the rest of us were Building businesses, graduating college, doing things, you know, to educate ourselves.”
Obviously, Dorit’s comment came up at the season 13 reunion.
During part one of the RHOBH season 13 reunion, Dorit and Crystal addressed the comment head on – and things got ugly.
The Beverly Beach designer defended her comment, quipping, “They call Priscilla Presley a child bride.”
“I mean, okay. I’m an Asian person,” Crystal said as co-star Garcelle Beauvais, interjected, “It’s the Asian see, that’s what I’m talking about” referencing her issue with Dorit’s lack of awareness surrounding other cultures.
“As an Asian person, child bride is equivalent to mail order bride,” Crystal continued before asking Dorit, “Do you know that?”
“Now I know. And obviously, it was a throwaway comment in my confessional. That was not what I was insinuating. It was off the back of you calling us unintelligent,” Dorit explained.
RHOBH OG Kyle Richards inserted herself into the debate in an attempt to defend Dorit’s comment, noting, “But the [age] part, I always say when I’m saying someone’s young, I’ll be like, ‘They were 12.’ That’s, like, the number of people seem to say.”
Crystal didn’t even acknowledge Kyle’s comment and instead jumped right back into schooling Dorit.
In fact, the 40-year-old founder of Real Coco ate Dorit up with her clap back.
“You said I got married at 12. I got married at 24. I’d already gone to college, and I’ve built a company worth over a $100,000,000 right now.”
“So for you to say that you were in college and getting all this education, building businesses while I’m getting married at 12 years old is bullshit. It’s a microgressive comment.”
The comment stunned Dorit, who simply mustered up “Well, that was not my intention,” in response.
Part two of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion airs March 6. at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
