It appears all is well between the Fox Force Five.
After her highly publicized drama with Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp, Dorit Kemsley reunited with her castmates for a fun-filled occasion. On Saturday, May 17, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom headed to Kyle’s Encino home to celebrate the engagement of Alexia Umansky and Jake Zingerman.
Kyle shared the special get-together in a May 18 Instagram photo in which she and her daughter Alexia posed beside Teddi, Dorit, and RHOBH alum Lisa Rinna.
“Our beautiful bride to be [Alexia] was feeling the love last night,” Kyle captioned the snap. “Also, someone here didn’t know their jacket was on upside down.”
Dorit reflected on the event in the comments section, writing: “So happy to be there to celebrate the first of many beautiful moments for our stunning [Alexia] and her love, Jake! Such a fun night!”
Dorit Kemsley attends Alexia Umansky’s engagement party
Fox Force Five was a nickname given to Kyle, Dorit, Teddi, and Lisa’s friendship group in RHOBH Season 9. The fifth member, Erika Jayne, did not attend Alexia’s engagement party but left a heart emoji under the group photo.
“Missed you last night!” Kyle responded to Erika’s comment.
After the party wrapped, Kyle posted a funny video of her and Teddi walking down the stairs in their sequin dresses and a pair of comfy sandals.
“Who would you think that this would scare more than anybody in the world? Us wearing these shoes?” Kyle asked Teddi before turning the camera to Dorit. “Can you believe we resorted to this?”
Dorit was clearly amused by the footwear change and captured the moment with her phone.
“Hey, we made it until 10pm in our heels,” Kyle wrote in the post.
Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s Friendship Drama
Dorit and Kyle’s friendship issues were explored in RHOBH Season 14, after Dorit accused her longtime bestie of trying to “silence” her ahead of the Season 13 reunion. The drama escalated when Kyle confirmed she was still texting Dorit’s estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley. Although Kyle insisted her communication with PK was light-hearted, the revelation led to several heated exchanges.
The ladies eventually buried the hatchet at the Season 14 reunion and have remained on great terms ever since.
“Dorit and I are good, I’m happy to say,” Kyle said during an April Amazon Live stream. “We worked things out during the season and then, of course, had to go over things again at the reunion, which is always tricky, but I’m happy to say we’re in a better place.”
Dorit Kemsley and Teddi Mellencamp make ammends
Dorit’s rift with Kyle also affected her relationship with Teddi. In Season 14, Episode 4, Kyle questioned Dorit’s loyalty to Teddi, claiming Dorit failed to defend their friend at BravoCon 2023. Dorit said she and the RHOBH alum weren’t as tight as many people assumed.
“I’m not close with [Teddi],” Dorit told Kyle.
Dorit clarified her comments on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, saying she still considered Teddi a friend.
“I wouldn’t categorize Teddi and I as good friends. I didn’t say that we weren’t friends,” she explained. “In fact, I didn’t even know up until that point that Teddi was mad at me — until Kyle told me that she was sour about me not defending her at BravoCon. I had no idea, so, that was a shock to me.”
Dorit and Teddi took steps to repair their friendship earlier this year, after the latter was diagnosed with brain tumors. Teddi shared the update in an interview with Us Weekly, saying she and Dorit reconnected through their mutual pal Erika.
“Erika kind of told me. She’s like, ‘Dorit does want to reach out to you now. Can she?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know how quick I’ll be to forgive, but sure,’” Teddi recalled. “I definitely told [Dorit] I was disappointed, and I told her I filmed a pod this morning where I talked sh-t about you. But then her message was so nice that I have to say we’ll probably be fine.”
