The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Erika Jayne is quite impressed with Dorit Kemsley’s smoke show.
“We knew she smoked,” Erika, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 7. “Here we are and that just kind of speaks to where Dorit was, and you know what’s great? Now in my phone, it has Dorit Kemsley with a cigarette icon and that’s true.”
During the season 14 premiere of RHOBH, cameras rolled as Dorit, 48, smoked a cigarette on camera for the first time while driving through the Hollywood Hills. The scene came as she was going through a breakup with her husband, PK Kemsley.
“I did the same thing but not with cigs,” Erika joked when alluding to her own divorce from disgraced attorney Tom Girardi. “She was coping in the canyon.”
Dorit Kemsley revealed on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 premiere what really went down between her and PK Kemsley leading to their separation after nine years of marriage. The first episode of the season premiered on Tuesday, November 19, and featured Dorit, 48, telling costar Erika Jayne the news of her and […]
Back in November 2024, viewers watched Dorit share with Erika that she was separating from PK, 57, after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple — who share son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8 — have yet to file for divorce.
In recent episodes, Dorit said PK’s drinking contributed to their separation. PK later denied he was a “fully blown alcoholic” and said he was celebrating one year of sobriety in January.

“When she said it, I was like, ‘OK, Oh. OK.’ I never heard her speak about it like that,” Erika told Us. “She’s telling everyone what’s going on in her life.”
When asked if Dorit and PK’s separation caught her by surprise, Erika added: “I had no idea. I did not know.”
As another dramatic season of RHOBH plays out, Erika said she continues to root for Dorit and her family.
“Dorit is very resilient,” she shared. “I haven’t spoken to her in a couple of weeks, but she’s a tough cookie. She will figure it out, but she’s in a tough spot. I only want the best for her and the kids and PK too. I have no dog in this fight other than to say I want the best for everyone — whatever that looks [like] for them.”
While viewers may be surprised with the ever-changing friendships and relationships in Beverly Hills, Erika said her own wild experiences are a reminder that things can change rather quickly.
“Nothing takes me personally by surprise after what I’ve been through,” she said. “I’ve seen it all. I’ve been through it all.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
