Bethenny, 53, got to work on it TikTok on Sunday, February 25, to discuss a preview of the upcoming clip Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion where Dorit, 47, read a message she received from Kyle, 55.
“I can’t believe that a private, personal, emotional, heartfelt, guttural text from Kyle to a friend was broadcast off camera when he wasn’t working, when he wasn’t filming. What a violation!” the Real Housewives of New York City said alum, noting that she “couldn’t imagine” how Kyle felt seeing that on screen as she approached Dorit in a “private” space.
Bethenny questioned Dorit’s decision to air her drama with Kyle, adding, “When you work, you work, and that’s despicable enough.” But if you’re not at work, and you’re not on time, will they control your thoughts too? That’s a private text. That’s crazy! And so is Kyle [Bravo’s] favorite – imagine how they treat their least favorites.
In the comments section, fans were divided over whether Kyle and Dorit could talk privately while filming a reality series. Some Bravo viewers argued that the costars deserved to have off-screen conversations, while others said it wasn’t fair for their show to revolve around their personal lives.

Earlier this month, a clip from the Season 13 reunion showed Dorit calling Kyle “manipulative” over the message she sent.
“There are things going on with Kyle and I and it hurts and bothers me the most. I haven’t heard from her in a few months. Then she texted me yesterday trying to silence me,” Dorit told Erika Jayne in a video shared by Bravo on Friday, February 23. “It was so calculated.”
Bethenny Frankel has had her fair share of drama with members of the Real Housewives of New York City, but she has also stirred up some controversy among those outside of the franchise. In February 2023, Frankel revealed that she had an unexpected feud with Martha Stewart after appearing as a contestant on The […]
The text message, which appeared in full on the screen, started with Kyle admitting that the distance between her and Dorit was bothering her.
“Of course some interview comments hurt my feelings and created more problems for me, but I’m used to that and was able to get over it in time,” Kyle wrote, referring to scenes where Dorit discussed Kyle’s divorce from her husband. Mauricio Umanski in confessional conversations. “I should have said something earlier, but honestly I wasn’t strong enough. But relationships and YOU are more important to me then RHOBH.”
Kyle noted that she didn’t want to lose Dorit and her family. (Dorit and husband PK Kemsley share two children: Jagger and Phoenix.) Despite Kyle asking to sit down with Dorit, her costar wasn’t thrilled with the form of communication.
“It’s so toxic and causes me so much anxiety,” Dorit said of the timing of the message. Dorit added that she wouldn’t let the lyrics stop her from discussing her issues with Kyle as they filmed the reunion.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8pm ET.
