Some fresh new faces have joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for their 14th season, including marketing exec Bozoma Saint John and actress Jennifer Tilly, who joins the Bravo franchise as a friend. But OGs Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley take center stage as they navigate their ongoing feud (Kyle is angry at Dorit for sharing a private text between them during February’s reunion special) and their respective breakups (Kyle and Mauricio Umansky split after 27 years of marriage in 2023; Dorit and her husband of nine years, PK, revealed their separation in May.)
“We all have our moments,” Kyle says of the latest installment, during which she threatens to quit. “I’m surprised it’s taken me 14 years to get to my breaking point.” Here, Kyle, Dorit and Bozoma join Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais to talk to In Touch‘s Fortune Benatar about friendship, divorce and taking sides.
What can viewers expect?
Kyle: You’ll see some friendships change and some new ones form. There are definitely some twists and turns — for myself included.
Dorit: There’s new energy. It makes things refreshing and exciting.
Garcelle: Glamour, fun and drama!
Erika: I’m on my journey to building my new life. My interiors are refreshed and updated, and my career is blossoming — but I’m caught in between two good friends fighting.
Sutton: Relationships zig and zag, and surprises lurk around every corner. One thing I’ve loved most about this season are my down-to-earth moments with Kyle.
Bozoma: I’m bringing badassery!
Who brings the most drama?
Kyle: That’s a tough question. You’ll definitely see me have probably my biggest breakdown in 14 years. I just didn’t feel strong enough to handle what was being thrown at me.
Dorit: Sutton.
Garcelle: Dorit! Dorit! Dorit!
Bozoma: Kyle and Dorit.
Sutton: Dorit. She’s going through a lot of spousal drama that leaks its way into our group.
Kyle, what’s this chapter of your life like with both Mauricio and your daughter Alexia moving out?
Kyle: I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’m strong and resilient. I’m enjoying the growth and I know I can take on anything that comes!

Dorit, how was it to film during your split with PK?
Dorit: I went into this season committed to being very open, honest and vulnerable, like I do every season. I was committed to sharing whatever was happening with PK and I in a very transparent way.
What’s everyone else’s take on Kyle and Dorit’s feud?
Garcelle: They’re both coming from a hurt place and feel betrayed.
Erika: I love them both very much and tried to be a good friend while they were going through the hardest times of their lives.
Bozoma, what’s it been like?
Bozoma: In my experience as a corporate executive, I’ve been in tense boardrooms where I’ve had to act as mediator, so I found it quite simple to join the group and provide guidance. Dorit was the most welcoming; we became fast friends.
What have you learned so far?
Bozoma: Always show up looking your best because these ladies do not play with the fashion! And don’t hide your true feelings. If you don’t tell your truth, someone else will do it for you!
