RHOBH OG Kyle Richards is sharing how she felt learning that Dorit Kemsley shared her private text message during the season 13 reunion.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star admits she was taken aback when she learned Dorit Kemsley shared her text message with not only co-star Erika Jayne but also producers at the reunion.
“I was really shocked, honestly. I was really surprised by that,” Kyle admitted during an Amazon Live when asked about Dorit’s shady reunion antics. “Because in all of the years of doing this show—14 years there now—I’ve never, ever shared anything that’s been said to me off-camera or a text that’s off-camera [and] private.”
The 55-year-old acknowledged that members of the RHOBH cast will occasionally read text messages aloud on the show they are sent “to the group” or involve situations that have been featured on the show.
“But a personal one?” the RHOBH OG insisted. “No. I’ve never done that.”
She then noted that it didn’t matter if someone was her best friend or “enemy;” she would “never” share their private text messages on RHOBH.
“I never have, and that’s just a rule that I have, and so that really surprised me,” she said.
When asked if she and Dorit were still friends, Kyle said, “Yes, we’re friends,” before admitting, “Right now, it’s not good.”
As AllAboutTRH previously reported, during part one of the RHOBH season 13 reunion, Dorit Kemsley revealed a lengthy “manipulative” text message Kyle Richards sent ahead of filming the reunion.
“There’s stuff with Kyle and I that’s going on and it hurts and bothers me the most,” Dorit told RHOBH co-star Erika Jayne. “I haven’t heard from her in a couple of months. Then, she sends me a text yesterday, basically trying to silence me. It was so manipulative, it was so calculated.”
The text message starts off with Kyle admitting that she’s been “trying to reach out” as it “bothers” her that they’re in a “weird place” since filming for season 13 wrapped.
“Some interview comments hurt my feelings and created more issues for me,” Kyle wrote as the text flashed across the screen. “I don’t want to lose someone else in my life over a TV show. They don’t even know we are going through a hard time so I don’t see the need to bring it up here.”
Kyle then told Dorit that she loves her, her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, and their kids, Phoenix and Jagger, and doesn’t want to “lose someone else in [her] life over a TV show.”
“They don’t even know we are going through a hard time, so I don’t see the need to bring it up there,” Kyle noted. “I should have said something sooner, but I honestly haven’t been strong enough. But relationships and YOU are more important to me than RHOBH.”
The OG concludes her message by asking Dorit if she’d like to meet and talk, adding that she’s unsure how much longer she can handle being on RHOBH.
The text message is expected to be discussed during part two of the RHOBH season 13 reunion.
Part two of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion airs March 6. at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
