According to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Bozoma Saint John, the water is not necessarily under the shiny SoCal bridge when it comes to drama between castmates.
“I mean, look — I think that a lot of folks had a lot to say, right?” Bozoma, 49, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 26.
“Becuase, you can imagine, some of the unresolved tension between Dorit [Kemsley] and Kyle [Richards], obviously,” she continued. “Dorit and Erika [Jayne], Dorit and Sutton [Stracke], Dorit and Amanda [Frances], me and Amanda, me and Kyle a little bit. It was a very tough day, but I really believe that everybody got what they wanted to say out — which is the most important thing.”
Bozoma went on to admit that when it comes to the drama between Erika, Kyle and Dorit in Italy, she was at an actual loss for words.
The highly anticipated fight between Dorit Kemsley, Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne is finally here. The Thursday, March 26, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills showed the three women reaching a breaking point during a cast trip to Italy. Kyle explained that she and Erika separated Dorit from the rest of the group […]
“Let me tell you something — I am not usually a woman who is speechless,” she explained to Us. “I was shocked. I was sitting there staring like, ‘Oh my god. I can’t believe this is happening.’ And I wanted to stop it, you know? I wanted to figure out a way to get in there and be like, ‘No girls, don’t do this. Don’t say that. Oh my god, they said it.’ And then I wanted to figure out a way to help calm things. But it was — it was actually impossible.”
For the uninitiated, Dorit left Kyle and Erika stranded in Italy after a heated argument during the Thursday episode of the hit Bravo reality series. According to Dorit, the “two-on-one” conversion pushed her to a breaking point.
“Kyle makes it nearly impossible [to talk alone]. She makes sure she has someone there that’s going to interject, that’s going to keep her from being able to actually answer the question directly,” Dorit told Bravotv.com. “And that’s what was happening. There was a frustration. I could see at that moment — I got up very quickly. I already got it.”
When Bozoma asked Dorit if she was “planning to send the car back” to the pair, Dorit claimed that they “had a car.” During the Thursday episode, Kyle and Erika had to call a second car to pick them up and were subsequently left waiting upwards of 30 minutes.
Kyle, meanwhile, claimed Dorit’s “behavior lately has just been so strange.”
“She’s either late, or always on her phone,” Kyle said during the episode. “I’m worried about her. I want to help, or get to the bottom of this.”
Despite the drama — which clearly carried over into the reunion — Bozoma told Us that she truly enjoyed her time in Italy.
“Actually, I loved being there,” she explained. “I know it doesn’t probably come off that way, but it was so gorgeous. Villa Bibbiani is a dream. So the fact that there was drama — Lord, help us.”
