Erika Girardi On Her Relationship With Dorit Kemsley After The RHOBH Reunion: "We Are Definitely In A Better Place"

Erika Girardi On Her Relationship With Dorit Kemsley After The RHOBH Reunion: “We Are Definitely In A Better Place”

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills took their drama to Hong Kong last week, leaving Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley facing off in the blurry haze of a junk boat. Since the RHOBH reunion filmed last week, Erika says that she and Dorit are just hunky dory now. Or something like that…

Despite reunion hype of crying, screaming, and a walk-off (which Erika also confirms happened), the XXXpen$ive singer says, “I walked out the reunion feeling great. I’ve spoken with all the girls afterwards. I don’t harbor any ill will, but you’d have to ask others how they feel, but for me, I feel fine.”

On her beef with Dorit in Hong Hong, Erika tells TooFab that it was a long time coming – ever since PantyGate, specifically. Erika says, “Well, a lot of time has passed since #PantyGate, and I think she realizes exactly what I said, which was the more you talk about shit, the worse it gets. She understands that things tend to have a life of their own and they’re constantly repeated, and while it was a joke, I was the brunt of the joke, and then they would not let the joke go, so that’s really where the issue is with that.”

But most hard feelings are in the past now, according to Erika. She claims, “I would definitely say we’ve come a long way since then. I think that Dorit has learned a lot through her first season. I think that she’s figured it out. It’s tough when you come in and you’re new and you navigate this whole group and you navigate being on television.”

Erika adds that their relationship has taken a step in a positive direction since the reunion, and she’s hopeful for more progress.

Although the reunion was a mess for most, Erika argues that it wasn’t nearly as bad as last year’s. Why? Because Yolanda Foster-Hadid wasn’t there, who Erika still defends as being very ill at the time. She offers, “Last year had Yolanda who was fighting a real illness. No one here is sick, so you really can’t compare that. The level of seriousness last year … it was much more serious. I mean, she was ill, this year people are just pissed at each other.”

Despite that, Erika jokes that “there are tears and all that kind of dramatic shit” at the season 7 reunion anyway. So, business as usual!

Not tipping her hand about why she breaks down in tears in next week’s episode, Erika only hints that “it’s something personal in my life. It has nothing to do with the women in the group.” I guess we’ll have to take bets on why the purported “ice queen” cracks. Any guesses? Maybe we can get our own March Madness bracket going!
