The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Reunion Part 1 Recap

Another season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has come and gone. Season 14 wasn’t groundbreaking compared to previous seasons, but it did leave a majority of the cast incredibly vulnerable, with unknown futures in the franchise and friendships.

The Season 14 finale closed with the ladies’ final days vacationing in Saint Lucia. The biggest storyline that took over the trip was the consistent disagreement between Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, and Dorit Kemsley. Sutton was accused of being a “mean girl” by the three women who didn’t feel supported or loved by her during their divorces and family issues. The women tried to end the season on a high note by going to a Carnival celebration, but it was clear bridges were burned among the cast.

With a bunch of wounds waiting to be healed, here’s what happened in the first part of Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Here’s What Went Down At The Season 14 Reunion: Part One

With the group sitting in a Saint Lucian-themed room with Andy Cohen as the legendary host, Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley had the golden chairs next to Andy. Without skipping a beat, Andy dove right on in.

Those who sit next to Andy Cohen are the ones with the biggest storylines or have the most to share.

The start of the reunion was rather anticlimactic. Andy warmed the women up by first asking how the Housewives have been doing since filming before getting into the nitty-gritty: Dorit Kemsley’s potential divorce.

Dorit Kemsley

Andy first dove into questions around Dorit’s divorce from PK Kemsley before lightly celebrating how epic the meme of her smoking in a car was. Dorit took the meme in jest and said she was always a “social smoker,” but now that she’s been so stressed, she’s more of a “stressed smoker.”

Dorit told Andy that she and PK had still chosen not to tell their two young children that they’re separated because they feared they were too young. Sutton chimed in that she thought that was a mistake, which Dorit didn’t take too kindly considering she and Sutton were not friends whatsoever in Season 14.

“I think that when they see PK and I friendly, and there’s peace, and we’re happy, they’re okay.”

In a shocking twist, Andy asked Dorit if she was holding off from telling the kids about the separation because she was hoping for a reconciliation, which she denied. She did, however, admit that she was still in love with him and that he was her “soul.”

  • As of the reunion’s filming, Dorit and PK have no relationship. He declined to go to the reunion but did send an official statement in his absence.

Other key takeaways during Dorit’s main line of questioning involved Kyle Richards and finances. Andy asked Kyle if she felt that fame changed Dorit the way that PK alluded to all season. “I think this season I saw a Dorit that I didn’t know,” Kyle told Andy. She also felt that Dorit “seemed a lot more aggressive than usual.”

With Dorit’s personal life blowing up in the tabloids over the past year, Andy also brought up the rumor that her home was in pre-foreclosure, a huge question mark in the fandom. She admitted her home was in pre-foreclosure, but PK allegedly never told Dorit about it. In the end, PK sorted it, and their home is no longer in danger of being lost.

Could RHOBH be adding yet another actress to cast lineup?

Bozoma “Boz” Saint John

Bozoma Saint John was a sight for sore eyes after a dark breakdown of Dorit’s past. Boz explained she tragically lost her home of more than 20 years in the 2025 Los Angeles fires. She’s in high spirits but devastated that her home and everything she owns are gone.

One of the biggest questions fans had for her was about her relationship with Keely Watson. The two were not even together a year when they were filming, but were already talking about starting a future together. Andy mentioned that fans found a few red flags in their relationship, primarily around the fact that they were talking about having children, but they never said “I love you” yet.

  • Boz explained the two are now in love and undergoing egg retrieval to start a family.

Garcelle Beauvais

Garcelle Beauvais had a particularly tough first part to the reunion. Andy shared that Erika Girardi mentioned on a podcast that she felt Garcelle and Sutton needed to show more of their personal lives. Confused, Garcelle explained everything she’s shared over the years and that her life right now wasn’t juicy. She worked, took care of her kids, and went to bed, but did Erika know something the fans didn’t? Garcelle asked Erika, “Do you know something?”

Without skipping a beat, Erika said, “No, I wish you were more interesting.” The comment left Andy’s mouth wide open in shock as Garcelle snapped back.

Kyle Richards tried to defend Erika and explained that she’s shown every ounce of her life over the last 14 years. Nothing was off the table. This, however, was a poor thing to say to Garcelle because she immediately brought up Kyle’s rumored girlfriend, Morgan Wade.

“Last year, Morgan was part of the show. We met her. And all of a sudden this year, it was like, you’re going to bring her up … But then there’s pictures in the press … and we’re just supposed to pretend that’s not happening? Is that reality?”

Kyle quickly defended Morgan and claimed she didn’t sign up for the show and didn’t ask for this kind of attention. Because of that, she chose not to disclose her relationship with Morgan on Season 14.

Circling back to Garcelle, Andy mentioned one of Garcelle’s biggest questionable moments when she thought that Dorit’s 2022 home invasion was a setup.

Garcelle held nothing back and admitted she still felt that her night invasion didn’t seem real to her. Dorit, of course, didn’t take those comments lightly, especially since she insinuated that PK was behind it all. “You intimated that it was PK,” Dorit shouted at Garcelle. “No, I did not! I did not!”

“I didn’t say you or your husband. Do not put that in my mouth.”

Annoyed by Dorit arguing with her and those defending Dorit, Garcelle had enough and stormed off stage. It was then that the women were called off for lunch, but fans won’t see them reunite until next week for Part Two.
