Dorit reacted to Kyle, Erika, and Sutton not showing up to her event. At Kathy’s garden party, Dorit faced off with Erika and Kyle, leaving their friendships in jeopardy. And Sutton confronted Dorit about the way that she treats her friends.

Instead of attending Dorit’s party, Sutton and Erika were hanging out at Sutton’s house, drinking. “I’m at Sutton Brown’s house instead of Dorit’s book party. I mean, are the aliens here?” Erika quipped in her confessional. “Like this is like some real epic sh*t.”

Sutton was still upset about the way that Dorit treated her at Rachel’s disco party. She told Erika how “mad” Dorit was when she interrupted her on the dance floor to chat. In a flashback, Dorit said, “I’ll hate her forever for this” before adding, “No, I’m kidding.”

Then, Sutton said that she texted Dorit to let her know that she wouldn’t be attending. “Oh, I haven’t done any of that,” Erika responded. And while Dorit supported Erika when she was on Broadway and at her Vegas show, this situation hit Erika differently.

“We had a full-on disaster happen in Italy. And it’s not from calling me a c*nt. I mean, that’s one piece of it,” Erika told Sutton. “Like, leaving Kyle and I, in the town, and then she and I having words at the dinner table. And then saying, ‘Well, Boz has treated me better.’” Erika added, “Sweetheart. Like I’m your friend for eight f*cking years.”

In her confessional, Erika stated, “I don’t need to be treated like this. Maybe PK [Kemsley] wasn’t wrong. I can’t believe I just said that.” WOW.

“I wonder if she’s going to be mad?” Erika wondered. “Oh, she’s going to be mad,” Sutton said in a hushed tone. Right now, Erika gives zero f*cks.

At Dorit’s party, which is a book party without an actual book, the soiree was in full swing. Suddenly, there was a crash, and Jennifer’s Gucci 2024 Crystal Teddy bear was in pieces on the floor. “That’s a $40,000 bear,” Boz told Dorit. “I feel sick,” Dorit replied.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was in a tizzy. “Ow! Ow! Mommy, it hurts!” she exclaimed as she held the bear. Then this RHOBH all-star scrambled to grab a Tums off the floor before popping it into her mouth. Tilly for the win!

According to Dorit, Kyle was “tired and overwhelmed” ahead of her daughter’s wedding. “You could come for 30 minutes,” Boz reasoned. “Kyle is making it really, really difficult to continue to defend that I believe her intentions are good,” Boz noted in her talking head.

In addition, Dorit was shocked that Erika didn’t show. “Erika not turning up, and not even having the f*cking decency …,” she remarked. Then, it was time for Dorit’s speech, and her two children, Phoenix and Jagger, stood beside her. “This is my memoir,” Dorit said. “This book is about grace, and grit, and choosing yourself without apology.” Then, her children revealed the cover photo.

“I’m literally dead. It’s giving me like, ‘I don’t give a f*ck, but I still look hot,’” Rachel said in her talking head. “That’s the vibe.”

In her confessional, Dorit noted, “It’s wild to me that Amanda could show up to support me, yet two of my closest friends in this group could not be bothered to walk through that door.” After Dorit thanked her RHOBH co-stars for coming, she stated that Boz has something to say. Instead, Boz flashed her engagement ring, and the ladies were elated.

Kyle’s daughter, Alexia, was getting married in a few days, and the actress reflected on her own marriage to Mauricio Umansky. She talked about hearing about other longtime couples splitting up as their children were tying the knot or having kids.

“I would think, ‘That’s so stupid. Why would they do that?'” And then I’m like, ‘How did we get here?’” Kyle said in her confessional. “There are times in life that you’re wondering, ‘When should I pull the plug on this marriage?’ But I feel like you’ll know when that time comes. And I know … that’s going to happen probably for me soon.”

Meanwhile, Dorit went to Rachel’s to moan about how three of her friends didn’t show up for her big night. According to Dorit, she tried to explain how overwhelmed she is to Kyle, but Kyle “shut me down.”

Plus, Dorit spoke about Erika, and how she had “a deep pain in my heart that she could be so flippant about something so important to me.” Dorit added, “What did I do to you so bad that I deserve what you’ve done?” In fact, Dorit thinks that “Kyle has gotten in her ear.” Dorit continued, “I’m not going to be ganged up on by mean girls. If I can’t expect a little grace from my f*cking friends, then who needs them?”

She added in her talking head that perhaps her friendship with Erika was “not as strong” as she thought. “And that’s a disgustingly bitter pill to swallow,” she added.

Kathy threw a garden party for her daughter, Nicky Hilton’s jewelry company, Theo Grace. Denise Richards attended, and I wish she had appeared more this season. Then, Erika FaceTimed her boyfriend, John “Shrek” McPhee, so that he could meet Kyle, Natalie, and Amanda. Erika confirmed that he is her “official man friend.” The ladies were thrilled for Erika.

“That was a hard launch. Hard launch!” Kyle exclaimed. “For me, it’s a big f*cking deal,” a beaming Erika said.

“I feel very safe when I am with John in the sense that there’s no pretending or trying,” Erika said in her confessional. “Everything softens, and I’m allowed to soften as well. You know, I lived with Tom [Girardi] for 20 years, and I swear to God I was walking on ice every day.”

Right away, Kyle brought up Dorit’s event and said that she knew her book would be successful. “Even if things were great, it would have been a struggle, honestly, because I would literally be killing myself to get there right now,” Kyle said. “And like we haven’t even spoken.” Dorit told the ladies that three of them “made a choice” and “that’s fine.” Is it, though?

Then Kyle launched into all the times that she supported Dorit. “I’ve always been there to support you, whether it was Lucy the dog, whether it was the burglary, whether it was people accusing you of having a fake accent,” Kyle said. “What about my divorce?” Dorit responded.

Once again, Kyle explained that she wasn’t the only person talking about Dorit. “You had a conversation with Boz, with Erika, with Amanda, with Sutton. How come there’s only one common denominator?” Dorit asked.

“One common denominator?” Kyle responded. “You’ve fought with everybody lately. Nobody spoke maliciously, including myself. Can someone please speak up and say that?” Kyle yelled. “Yes,” Erika agreed as partygoers turned towards the commotion.

When Dorit accused Kyle of getting “a gang together,” both Sutton and Erika disputed Dorit’s claim. Then Dorit asked Erika what she ever did to her. As Dorit urged her to “tell me,” the singer fired back. “First off, don’t talk to me like that. You can tone it down, and we can have a civil conversation,” she said.

Finally, Erika brought up how Dorit called her a c*nt. “Dorit, I cannot be shushed two or three times, your hand in my face, left in a town. You don’t want to hear anything … what I’m saying,” Erika calmly explained. “And that’s what you get.”

Then Dorit called Erika out for not showing up and not calling, but Erika was unbothered and unapologetic. According to Dorit, she needed time to “assess our nine-year relationship.” However, Erika still didn’t apologize for being a no-show. “I feel very firmly in what I did. I’m real cool,” Erika said. “At least now I have a chance to see the real you,” Dorit added.

Meanwhile, Sutton approached Dorit and asked why she had made that remark at Rachel’s party about “hating” her “forever.” Once again, Dorit insisted it was a joke and apologized for hurting Sutton’s feelings. However, Sutton clocked that Dorit didn’t seem sorry.

When Sutton said that she was trying to work out this issue with her, Dorit exclaimed, “Sutton, what you have to say is irrelevant to me! Your nine lives are done.” Finally, Sutton said that she watched Dorit “treat your friends like dirt all summer.” With a smirk, Dorit replied, “I’m dead serious right now. I’m done.” Then she mocked Sutton’s outfit as she walked away.

Cue some footage from Alexia’s wedding day. Kyle and Mauricio walked Alexia down the aisle, and Alexia was stunning. Also, the ceremony and reception were gorgeous.

“When I’m not being treated right, I am walking away,” Kyle said in her confessional. “And that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m walking away.” In the updates, it noted that Dorit attended Alexia’s wedding, but Dorit and Kyle haven’t talked since then. As for Mau and Kyle? They aren’t ready to file for divorce.

Meanwhile, Rachel is involved in a new romance. And while Dorit’s book is set to hit shelves in June 2026, her divorce from PK is ongoing. As for Erika? She is “happy” with John and her new career as DJ Pretty Mess. However, her trial is set to begin in April 2026.

In addition, Boz has plans to do one more IVF cycle while she is planning two weddings. Meanwhile, Amanda and Eddie Tsivislavsky got hitched on September 9, 2025, in a civil ceremony. She is still planning her over-the-top wedding for October.

Let’s hope that the ladies bring some fiery energy to the Season 15 RHOBH reunion.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
