Amanda Frances called out Dorit Kemsley for her refusal to move on from their drama after she shared the anniversary date of her son’s death on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

After admitting that she was “hanging on by a thread” at a dinner party hosted by Rachel Zoe, 54, due to the tragic loss of one of her twins in 2022, Amanda, 41, slammed Dorit, 49, for continuing to discuss the issue she had with her, as Kyle Richards, 57, suggested Dorit was self-centered and Dorit attempted to defend herself, alleging that it was Amanda who wouldn’t drop the conversation and targeting her delivery.

“I’m having a hard time gathering my thoughts because I’m distracted because [of] the day it is, but also, it doesn’t make sense,” Amanda recalled on the January 22 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. “I just feel like I have to tell her what’s going on.”

Although Amanda thought that it was important to explain why she was overly emotional during their encounter, she didn’t feel that Dorit, who was upset about Amanda’s comments regarding her public statements about Paul “PK Kemsley, 58, amid their divorce, offered the correct response.

“It was very confusing because I’m thinking, ‘I told you this.’ So an appropriate response is, ‘Oh my god, I had no idea, I’m sorry.’ Drop it. But it’s like I’m still trying to figure out what the hell she’s talking about. And she’s still talking about it,” Amanda shared. “I was still trying to place what the f*ck she was saying and what exactly she was accusing me of.  I was still sorting it. I do remember saying, ‘Do you mean Kyle? Do you mean [Kathy Hilton]’s?’ I could not figure out what she was asking me because we were still taking one sentence at Kathy’s fully out of context of a whole night that wasn’t about her.”

“Get used to it,” Kyle replied, seemingly in regard to Dorit’s inability to think of others.

According to Amanda, she can’t imagine anyone, “especially” a mother, having any other response than to drop the conversation.

Speaking out in her own segment, Dorit said that Amanda’s reveal about her late son “literally took [her] breath away.”

“Obviously, I had no idea. I remember thinking, one, [I] would’ve never got into this conversation, initiated it, had I known,” she insisted. “I’m a mother. That’s a mother’s worst nightmare. I can only imagine.”

Still, as Dorit recalled, she felt that Amanda was strategic in her delivery.

“It felt very designed to stop me in my tracks,” she stated. “I had said to her, ‘Listen, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. We can have the conversation another time, and then she started carrying on with the conversation. And by the way, she did that a few times.”

Elsewhere on the RHOBH: After Show, Rachel suggested that while “Dorit did the best she could in that situation,” she likely wouldn’t have gone to the dinner herself.

“If it’s me, I’m not coming to dinner that night. Or, at the very least, I’m saying to who’s inviting [me], ‘That’s a really hard day for me. I don’t know if I can come,’” she shared.

And Jennifer Tilly, 67, agreed, saying, “If it’s such a horrific thing for her, maybe she shouldn’t have even shown up to the party that night.”

Jennifer also stated that she didn’t feel that Amanda should have had to give her castmates a heads-up, as Sutton Stracke, 54, weighed in.

“I think Amanda could’ve given us a simple, ‘You know what, guys? Today’s the anniversary of the death of my baby, and so it’s going to be an especially emotional evening. I may or may not come,’ or something like that so we could’ve been a bit more gentle. And we would have been,” she reasoned.

As for Amanda, she said she didn’t “send out a memo” since she didn’t expect to have to guard or defend herself at a dinner party.

“I don’t expect to go to a dinner party, and [have] someone aggressively confront me about something they heard … And you got to remember: At this point, I’m still praying for Dorit. I’m like, worried about her. I’m actively concerned,” she noted.
