RHOBH’s Crystal just revealed what Kyle and Dorit’s friendship is really like behind the scenes
Well, this is surprising
If there’s one thing fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills know, it’s that the real drama usually happens when the cameras are off.
And now Crystal Kung Minkoff is spilling a little behind-the-scenes tea.
In a refreshingly honest moment, Crystal opened up about what Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s friendship is actually like off-camera and let’s just say, it’s not quite what fans might expect.
Grab a glass, because this peek into one of Beverly Hills’ most talked-about friendships is very “you didn’t hear it from me, but…”
Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s feud explained
Once upon a time, Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley were giving full Beverly Hills bestie energy on RHOBH.
We’re talking coordinated glam, inside jokes, and lots of talk about being so close. But their friendship is no longer.
The tension really bubbled up when Dorit began questioning where she stood with Kyle, openly calling out what she saw as distance and a lack of effort.
Dorit made it clear she felt hurt and confused by the shift, especially after years of believing they were genuinely tight. Kyle, on the other hand, appeared frustrated by Dorit’s expectations, suggesting there was a mismatch in how each of them viewed the friendship.
Instead of one explosive blow-up, their fallout has unfolded in awkward conversations, emotional sit-downs, and that unmistakable energy of two people talking about their issues rather than actually resolving them.
It’s the kind of Housewives feud that feels painfully relatable. There were hurt feelings, unmet expectations, and the slow realisation that two people may not be as aligned as they once thought. In Beverly Hills, that can be just as dramatic as flipping a table…

Just when we thought we’d heard everything about the Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley situation, Crystal Kung Minkoff served up some unexpected behind-the-scenes tea that has fans buzzing.
On her Humble Brag podcast with Cynthia Bailey, Crystal recounted a conversation she had with Kyle Richards that totally shifted her perception of Kyle and Dorit’s off-camera dynamic.
According to Crystal, Kyle told her something wild. Apparently, in seven years of filming RHOBH, she and Dorit had never once gone to lunch together off-camera, not dinner, not regular hangouts, nothing.
Kyle also apparently said they’d only ever taken one vacation together, and while she still loves Dorit, people just may have different ideas of what their friendship really is.
Crystal also pointed out something pretty interesting: the reason fans assumed Kyle and Dorit were super close might be because their husbands, Mauricio Umansky and Paul ‘PK’ Kemsley, are actually tight, which can give the illusion that the ladies are besties too.
