Kyle Richards came to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 reunion armed with text messages as receipts amid her ongoing war of words with Dorit Kemsley.
As Kyle argues with Dorit about skipping her book cover reveal in the first look at RHOBH‘s “Reunion Part 2” (airing on Thursday, April 30 at 8 p.m. ET/PT), she eventually pulls out her phone and begins reading the message she sent prior to the event that explained how she was in the weeds amidst preparations for daughter Alexia Umansky’s wedding.
“OK, so I sent a text: ‘Hi, I’m so sorry that I’m not going to make it tonight. I’m exhausted and overwhelmed and [have] been up since 2 a.m.’ That was a fact,” Kyle begins in the above preview clip. “‘I know we need to talk still, and I hope that happens at some time soon. I know you RSVP’d yes to the wedding, so I hope to see you there. Good luck tonight.'”

She continues, “And you wrote, ‘I get it. No worries. Thank you for the good luck wishes. Take care of yourself. We’ll talk another time. And yes, I’ll see you at the wedding.'”Â
Kyle goes on to explain that her purpose for reading their text exchange verbatim is that she believed Dorit had greatly changed her tune when she discussed the issue with Bozoma Saint John on camera during the RHOBH Season 15 finale.
“You were fine with that. You understood, until, which is what bothered me, when you had that interaction with Boz,” Kyle explains. “Go back and look at that scene where Boz said to you, ‘Kyle should have been here.’ And then you said, ‘Absolutely!'”

Host Andy Cohen, meanwhile, asks Dorit if Kyle had “misread” the tone that she intended to convey in her text response.
“Oh, yes,” Dorit confirms, prior to addressing Kyle directly. “When you sent me that text, do you want to know how I genuinely felt? Wow, OK, you know what…”
Before she can complete her thought, Kyle interjects, “So you’re full of s–t then? So your text was not being genuine?” Dorit insists that was not the case, however.

“No, that’s called being polite,” she responds. “What am I supposed to say? I’m not going to beg anyone to come support me. Do you understand? I was not [like], ‘Oh, I totally understand!’ I was hurt. This was a big deal for me. And not to mention…”
Before the preview ends, Kyle interrupts again to say, “[In] that clip, you can see that you were about to say that. And then all of a sudden, you shift. You’re like, ‘Oh, good, I get to make Kyle look like an a–hole. I love it!'”
Dorit Kemsley accuses Kyle Richards of not “supporting” her career
Though Dorit and Kyle had already gone toe to toe over their friendship rift during the first part of the reunion, which premiered on April 23, their second round of sparring actually arose in the midst of Boz and Amanda Frances’ heated back and forth about their own individual careers.
In the same sneak peek at Part 2, Kyle chimes in, “Why are we saying anything to try to hurt anyone’s business?” prompting Dorit to fire back, “Well, you opened that door, didn’t you? We should all be supporting each other’s businesses.”
When Andy asks Dorit to clarify which business Kyle did not support, she answers, “My only business venture that I’ve had since the home invasion [in 2021],” referring to her forthcoming memoir, Unburdened.
As Kyle begins to rattle off various events she’d attended in the past, Dorit states that she is referring only to the past five years. “I know you’d like to go back 10 years, Kyle, but I’m actually staying within this decade,” she says.
Kyle fires back, “It’s called history, Dorit. It’s one f–king thing. … You don’t have the book out. It was a picture.”
Regardless, Dorit counters, “Don’t sit here on your soap box and say, ‘We should all be supporting…’ Listen, you opened that door.”
