Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills showcases the lives of Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais. Joining the cast this season are Jennifer Tilly, a close friend of Sutton, and newcomer Bozoma Saint John, who has added fresh dynamics to the group.
This season has focused on transformations within the group, such as Kyle Richards navigating her separation from Mauricio Umansky and Dorit Kemsley processing her separation from PK Kemsley.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 is on a brief hiatus due to the holiday season. Episodes 6 and 7, originally set to air after episode 5, were preempted to accommodate Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve programming on December 24 and 31, respectively.
Bravo made this decision to avoid airing new episodes during a time when viewers might be preoccupied with holiday celebrations. Fans can look forward to the show returning with episode 6 on Tuesday, January 7, at 8/7c on Bravo, while previous seasons are available for streaming on Peacock.
What happened in the last episode: Episode 5 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Season 14 episode 5 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, titled High Horses and Low Blows, had many significant moments. Here’s a recap of what unfolded:
Kyle Richards’ denim & diamonds party
Kyle hosted a party at her house, marking her first major event since her separation from Mauricio Umansky. During the event, Camille Grammer Meyer made an appearance and stirred conversations by commenting on Mauricio’s alleged mid-life crisis. Kyle, in her confessional, addressed the rumors, stating,
“Has Mo done a few things that I could have lived without, that I had to see on the internet? Yes. For sure.”
Dorit Kemsley faces personal struggles
Dorit opened up about her ongoing issues with PK in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, revealing they hadn’t spoken in two weeks. She admitted in her confessional,
“My life sucks right now. I am not in a good place at all. And I have zero tolerance for more bullsh*t.”
Dorit also clashed with Sutton Stracke during the episode. Sutton told Dorit,
“You’re angry, and you’re not angry at me. You’re angry at your life. And don’t take it out on me.”
While Dorit called Sutton’s comment a “low blow,” tensions between the two remained unresolved.
Erika Jayne's therapy session
In a therapy session with Dr. Jenn Mann, Erika Jayne shared her journey to rediscovering peace and stability after a tumultuous few years. Reflecting on her relationships within the group, Erika said in her confessional,
“Speaking about Sutton’s personality, why is it inconsistent? There has been these occasions in which Sutton feels like she’s being left out of things, and her personality flips.”
Dr. Mann offered insights into Erika’s feelings, suggesting,
“I think also you have your list of ‘shoulds’ of what the women should have done for you.”
Erika acknowledged that she had not always felt supported, comparing her experiences with how Kyle was treated during a recent celebration.
Bozoma Saint John’s “tribal council”
Newcomer Bozoma Saint John attempted to mediate tensions by organizing what she called a “tribal council.” However, the meeting quickly turned confrontational. Sutton’s remark about Dorit being “angry at her life” was called out by Boz as an example of weaponizing vulnerability. Dorit responded,
“My life sucks right now, and I have zero tolerance for more bullsh*t”
After this, tensions between the group continued to escalate.
Camille Grammer Meyer’s return
In The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 episode 5, Camille recalls a past incident when Dorit called her a derogatory name. Dorit defended herself by stating it was meant as a joke. Camille, however, accused Dorit of using the moment to create drama on the show, reigniting tensions between the two.
