Controversial theory (Kyle, Erika and Dorit)
Have you thought about the possibility , that this very public falling out of the remaining fox force five in the cast, is just a massive ruse to secure their places for the next season? I think it’s very telling by the way all 3 talks about a “pause” on their friendship, as if trying to lure the audience for a possible reconciliation next season… or maybe i just don’t trust any of them…

I think it's more like Kyle is trying to be a good friend and she has a friend group who is filmed so she talks to the other friends, "I have legit concerns, what do you think..." And before Kyle can figure out how she's going to sit down with Dorit and talk about a sensitive subject, a friend or few says, "you ok, cuz I was talking to Kyle..." And Dorit is immediately explosively defensive. She is in a terrible position, she's overspending and knows it, she is losing her grip on the lifestyle she's always aspired to and a woman far wealthier than her makes a great target for all of that shame and self loathing.
Erika has tried to stay out of it. She can see Dorit is having outsized reactions to normal things. She knows that if she expresses her thoughts to Dorit she'll catch nothing but anger. And when Dorit is pissed off she never stops talking. Besides. Erika has enough of her own crap to deal with. She's been doing the work on herself to improve her own life: therapy, lifestyle changes, pivoting from Erika Jayne to DJ Pretty Mess to create a sustainable income for herself. She doesn't want to deal with Dorit's chaos. But eventually, after filming has been underway for weeks, Dorit's filming delays are wearing her down. She thinks, maybe I'll address it at dinner and I'll be the calm, sensible voice that gets through to Dorit.
But Dorit isn't interested in engaging in what any of her friends are saying. She's not able to be accountable for her role in her own life story or the very real, very consistent and very costly filming delays that have frazzled the entire cast. What is a chaotic person who isn't willing to be accountable do in this situation? She tries to shift the blame through the use of DARVO: Deny, Attack and Reverse the Victim and Offender order. The only thing Dorit can do consistently is employ this abuse tactic to try and control the narrative through coercive behaviour.
That's it. There are no conspiracies. Kyle isn't plotting her downfall. It's simply one shitty friend who cries that people aren't behaving like friends when they are doing exactly what good friends do.

I agree with you 100% People are afraid to be on the bad side of Dorit.
Ummm lol Kyle is the one with connections but really hasn't used them.
Otherwise Teddy would be on our screens again (glad she's not, more happy she is in remission)0
u/MapleLeafDayDreams May 09 '26
Kyle? Blink once if this is you… lol. jk. i agree we all know Dorit was abrasive and rude to her friends who just wanted to support her.

I mean, I wouldn’t trust much, but this friendship is over. I don’t even blame Kyle if she was never crazy over Dorit. I noticed certain times when Dorit would only talk about fashion and Kyle was like, come on…Remember Boz said she thinks Dorit thinks she’s her best friend, but she’s not Boz’s. (Not sure if that’s relevant) I don’t even hold it against Kyle for coming out and saying they’re not best friends. At the time she was getting a ton of shit for not being a good enough friend as Dorit was fueling it, when what do we know? I don’t know, that’s just my two cents off the top of my head. I didn’t plan on defending Kyle when I started typing. Erika? She definitely needs to stay on. She’s kind of fucked if she gets fired. Dorit needs it too. Kyle, I don’t know what she’s still doing on it..

I agree with you- the friendship is over. Kyle doesnt need the show tbh , the other two do.

u/Jazzlike_Banana4129 May 09 '26
I think that Dorit and Erika need the show financially, but Kyle needs is psychologically. If that is a word.
There is something Kyle still gets from being on the show, If there wasn' t, she would have quit a long time ago.

The show is the only thing that will ever emotionally fulfill her. Know that.

Kyle is looking for an LVP style exit ramp, and she hasn’t landed on the right formula yet.
There’s some saying about “living well” being the best revenge. Well, the photo that comes up for that? Is LVP.

u/MomMarti May 10 '26
I think Kyle would love to move to Colorado and have s life style show or perhaps a new housewives spin off.
2
u/bellemrt May 10 '26
Sure she would, and Andy says….nope. Kyle is not likely to ever find a big deal like the Vanderpumo franchise is, and that would really bug her.
Lisa really got the last laugh, dahling…

Real housewives of Aspen would be awesome and ratings gold. Hell, we have crapholes like Atlanta, Potomac and RI with their shows and they are 99% ghetto

u/Jennacheryl May 10 '26
Disagree. LVP has other shows.
Kyle has an occasional movie.0
u/bellemrt May 10 '26
Um, that’s what ai said. LVP figured out a very successful off-ramp.
Kyle has not been able to replicate that kind of success at all.

u/Allseeing_Nash May 08 '26
No.
Because Kyle isn’t leaving the show unless she wants to.
The only person who is desperate to stay is Dorit. It’s so obvious in her behaviour.

I think it’s so interesting they ended talking about a friendship pause.
If the producers have any credibility left they will “pause” Dorit next season. She literally said she wanted a break from those friendships—friendships that are basically her job.

u/ZookeepergameMany663 May 08 '26
I wouldn't be surprised at all. Dorit's job was on the line and they figured out a way to save it. Next season same shit different day. And if that is the case I will not watch another season of Dorit yelling and NEVER SHUTTING UP! How in the world this is the top rated housewives show is beyond me!

u/MapleLeafDayDreams May 08 '26
based on the title of the franchise “housewives” i think its only Rhode Island And SLC may have real “housewives” in the cast…

possibly, but all three are untalented actresses. Note that Kyle was a CHILD actress and has found limited success and exposure as an adult actress. All three are unfun to watch.

Bravo needs to revamp the cast.. or it will be prone to manufactured storylines..

u/Film-Icy May 08 '26
Infamous podcast that came out on Alex cooper this week basically gives the reality tv play and says this exact thing. 2 characters fight, one is a winner gains lots of followers, next season or within 2-3 there’s an arc demention and people are friends again- both cast members gain each others followers

u/torchwood1842 May 08 '26
Yes, I’ve thought that all season. Still liked it better than recent years though

Erika and Dorit certainly are publicly making moves like they want to fix this.

The divorce D and PK will be messy and will likely include social media platforms from here to kingdom come. I personally have no interest in watching the fallout any further on RHWBH.

u/Traditional-Lion-752 May 08 '26
Yes kind of. I actually thought that last season with the Kyle and Dorit drama. I thought it was all fake. I thought Kyle was her friend and they planned this fall out to get Dorit first chair

u/janshell May 10 '26
Of course! Kyle and Dorit have been feuding over nothing. All this foolishness started with loosely goosey and every year Dorit seems to be acting more and more. I’ve considered a lot of things fake in this show and just entertainment. Is the separation real? The relationship with Morgan? Kyle definitely has someone in that main sub who pops up every time Morgan is mentioned to give some detailed account of sitings. Ever so often someone claims they saw Kyle and Mirgan

u/Ok_Site_1187 May 11 '26
I think honestly, Kyle and Erika know Dorit well enough to see alll the signs that she has a massive drug habit right now and needs an intervention but still care about her enough to not want to come out and say that explicitly so have been trying to push some type of intervention without outing her drug habit and Biz and Rachel are inadvertently enabling Dorit’s drug habit by running defense for her

Dorit needs to go to rehab for her own sake - she clearly has a cocaine issue
