Tension between old friends rise and buried feuds are unearthed on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
When Kyle Richards revealed she had tattooed her initial on her friend Morgan Wade, Annemarie Wiley and Dorit Kemsley were surprised to hear that their budding friendship had evolved to include permanent ink on Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo show.
The actress, 54, explained that she opted to grab the tattoo pen after her own session and decided on the letter “K” so Morgan could use it to write another word, should she ever choose to cover it up.
In a conversation with cameras, Dorit admitted she was taken aback by Kyle and Morgan’s latest escapades.
“My husband put my name on his arm,” she said. “I don’t know what that says about Kyle tattooing her name on Morgan’s arm, but that is a really, really close friendship.”
“You’ve literally been friends for a year,” Dorit continued, noting how they, on the other hand, have been friends for seven. “You didn’t put a D on your body, did you?”
On their way to Crystal Kung Minkoff’s Taco Tuesday party, Dorit initiated a candid conversation about her friendship with Kyle and why she’s felt like an “afterthought.”
The mom of two admitted she didn’t like being the last person to hear about Kyle’s big life events before adding, “Well, I guess I need to put your initial on my body for you to actually care.”
Dorit told the cameras that she felt “genuinely hurt” by the new “distance” in her friendship with Kyle. She recalled how the pair would often jet to different destinations around the world. Now, not only does she feel “excluded” from her travel plans, she confessed she also felt “replaced” by Morgan.
In her own confessional interview, Kyle explained the rift in her relationship with Dorit and the disappointment she felt due to the lack of support she received during her fight with her sister Kathy Hilton. Kyle claimed she got a “very different” side of Dorit when she would privately express her support but keep quiet publicly. “That doesn’t feel like a friend to me,” she shrugged.
Dorit remarked how Kyle and Morgan have become fast friends and claimed the two had begun “morphing” into each other. Though she made the comment with a laugh, Dorit quietly feared if there would be a place for her in Kyle’s new life.
Elsewhere in the episode, Erika Jayne and Denise Richards confronted each other over their bizarre exchange at Kyle’s THC dinner. While the Two and a Half Men alum wanted to have a conversation to clear the air, Erika refused, recalling how Denise had come in with “an agenda” and resorted to calling her names like “bitch” and “bot c—.”
The “XXPEN$IVE” singer explained how she apologized to her “sincerely” for her past behavior. Denise refused to let things go and confronted Erika for “insinuating” that her 14-year-old would have had a “threesome” in 2019. Erika denied her accusations and clarified that she meant that teenagers would have gotten exposure to the term with their access to the internet.
“This is about my kids though,” Denise interrupted to which Erika fired back, “Okay, your oldest daughter’s on OnlyFans. She doesn’t know?”
“You came in slurring, inarticulate, could not string two words together and wanted to call me a bitch,” she continued as Denise accused her of delivering a low blow. “And you want me to sit here pretend like it didn’t happen? What do you think, I’m not gonna go to OnlyFans?”
“You think I’m not gonna go as f—ing low as I can, have you met me?” she added, as Denise called her a “mean woman.”
“I think it’s great!” Erika quipped. “I just want to know who’s more profitable, you or Sammi?”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
