Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Dorit Kemsley Addresses Her Future on the Show
Dorit Kemsley is saying "yes" to life.
But does that "yes" include returning for many more seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
"As I've learned a very harsh lesson in these last two years, anything can change from week to week, month to month," Dorit—who filed for divorce from estranged husband Paul "PK" Kemsley in April 2025—told E! News in an exclusive interview. "I'm very open right now. I'm having some really wonderful conversations, I feel like I'm in a creative space."
But while Dorit—who has been a main cast member on the Bravo series since joining season seven in 2016—is excited to pick up cameras again following a tumultuous season 15, she acknowledged that she will one day walk away from the show when the time feels right.
"I feel like I am entering a new chapter of peace, acceptance, happiness, adventure," the 49-year-old noted, "and I think with that I'll know whether it's the right thing to do, move forward and continue, or step back."
For now, Dorit is holding firmly onto her diamond as she prepares to release her very first memoir Unburdened.
"I'm very excited about the book coming out June 2," the mom of Jagger, 12, and Phoenix, 10, shared. "I'm very excited about book signings and the book tour and meeting the fans. I'm really enjoying this moment so much that it's where my focus is."
In the book, Dorit gets real about everything from growing up in Connecticut, Housewives drama and, yes, her bitter breakup from PK after 10 years of marriage.
Dorit's candid memoir includes the many moments that have shaped her, on and off camera. From her upbringing in Connecticut to her life as a Real Housewife, she recounts it all.

When it comes to coparenting these days, she admitted that "things are definitely ever evolving" with her ex.
"Unfortunately, we've had a theme of going forward one step and back nine," Dorit revealed, "and I'm really hoping that, moving forward, we can get into a nice rhythm where we can remember what's important."
Looking ahead, the Bravolebrity is finally ready to start dating again.
"I have reached a place where I am looking forward to it," Dorit confessed. "It's imminent. I've spent the last couple of years mothering very hard and being very protective over them while I was processing everything."

And while she noted she previously "didn't feel ready, not because I wasn't over PK. My focus was where it needed to be," she's now excited to find love once again.
"It's a very important part of this journey," she added, "and I feel like it's in the near future."
Unburdened releases nationwide June 2.

175-178. The Real Housewives of D.C.
Bravo's ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

174. Kimberly Bryant, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Who?

173. Tammy Knickerbocker, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Vaguely familiar, but...

172. DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

171. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County
This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.
Chad Kirkland/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
170. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Utah's newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.

169. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Her defining trait was "cougar."
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
168. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County
The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.
Bravo
167: Annemarie Wiley, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The nurse anesthetist's flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
166. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but...didn't do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
165. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife...that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.

164. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
163. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County
While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't really cut out for this Real Housewives life.
Jai Lennard/Bravo
162. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka's first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy's mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

161. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

160. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.

159. Amber Marchese, RHONJ
Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

158. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of Miami
All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!

157. Cristy Rice,The Real Housewives of Miami
This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.
Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
156. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City
As one of RHONY's more recent one-and-dones, Jules' tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama.
Phylicia J.L. Munn/Bravo
155: Amanda Francis, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Hate is a strong word, but it's hard to remember anyone who was as swiftly disliked by Bravo fans as RHOBH's season 15 newbie Amanda Francis.
The author, financial advisor and self-professed "Money Queen" rubbed not only her castmates the wrong way, audiences were also put off by Amanda's obsession with material things and questionable career advise.
But it was her refusal to engage in any sort of confrontation with her castmates that truly signaled she wasn't made out to be a Housewife. It's a hard job, and not everybody is meant to do it.

153-154. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ
So unnecessary they couldn't even get individual taglines.
Chris Haston/Bravo
152. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.
Bravo
151. Taleen Marie, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Taleen was a nice addition to RHODubai's sophomore season, but we only have one season to judge her on.
Phylicia J.L. Munn/Bravo
150: Angel Massie, The Real Housewives of Potomac
To say Angel failed spectacularly at being a Housewife would be an understatement. With one miss after another, the WAG and wife of retired NFL star Bobby Massie fumbled her way through season 10 as her more seasoned and shadier costars relished in her unsuccessful attempts to fit into the friend group.
Despite her shortcomings, it is pretty epic that her Colorado glamping excursion ended with the cast lost in the wilderness and eating fast food from a roadside gas station.
Definitely a first for the Housewives.

149. Eva Marcille, RHOA
The America's Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.
Bravo
148. Katie Ginella, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Per usual, we typically need to see more than one season to place a first-time Housewife higher on our list. But Katie came in swinging during RHOC's 18th season, immediately going up against veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes a brave woman to call B.S. on Ms. Fancypants.
Clifton Prescod/Bravo
147. Stephanie Shojaee, The Real Housewives of Miami
We'll be honest: Stephanie is not our cup of tea. While her vast wealth had the makings of a great Housewife, the fact that she continuously used her private jet as leverage to hold power over her new costars during season seven left an icky raste in our mouth.
Maybe Steph can redeem herself if she returns for season eight.
Rich Polk/Bravo
146. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Sara's positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn't provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her.
Andrew Eccles/Bravo
144-145. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
RHONJ's season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. The former friends unfortunately didn't bring much more substance during season 14.
