Welcome to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 1 recap. During the Season 13 reunion, many of the ladies’ friendships were left dangling by a thread. Sutton had a medical emergency and was sent to the hospital. Thankfully, she was fine.
Meanwhile, Kyle was grilled about her separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, and her friendship with musician Morgan Wade. Plus, the rift between Dorit and Kyle grew wider. Remember how Dorit read Kyle’s text message to her on camera and called it “manipulative?” Well, that was just the tip of the iceberg for Kyle and Dorit.
In addition, Dorit claimed that her marriage to her husband, PK Kemsley, was in a great place because he had become sober. Well, let’s just say that Season 14 picked up with a new reality for Dorit. Here’s what happened in RHOBH Season 14, Episode 1: “Grace Time is Over.”
What happened in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 1?
Sutton decided to throw a Surrealism party inspired by the artist Salvador Dali. After last season, Sutton thought that she was in a better place with Kyle. Plus, Dorit revealed to Erika that she and PK had separated. When the couple shared an announcement on Instagram, the RHOBH cast was shocked.
At Sutton’s wild party, newbie Bozoma Saint John nearly stole the show. In an emotional moment, Kyle revealed that she was questioning her sexuality. Meanwhile, Dorit and the disk on her head were determined to have the last word with Kyle. And finally, Kathy let her down (literally.)
Dorit shares life-changing news with Erika in the RHOBH Season 14 premiere
Erika was shocked and started to cry when Dorit told her she and PK had separated. Dorit admitted that they had a couple of rough years and that PK started to drink more and more. “I don’t want that toxic energy around small children,” she told Erika, referring to her two children with PK. So, what caused the split? There was no infidelity. The couple was just arguing non-stop.
Still, Dorit found it odd that she confided in Erika first, especially after Erika’s BravoCon prediction that Dorit’s marriage would end. Eventually, Dorit realized it was just a shady game, and Erika gave a shady response. We’re glad to leave that mess in the past.
Both Kyle and Dorit experienced big changes
Kyle’s life has changed tremendously. Both Mauricio and her daughter, Alexia Umansky, moved out. In addition, Kyle hasn’t seen Dorit since the Season 13 reunion, which was four months prior. According to Kyle, Dorit tried to publicly shame her. First, she sided with her sister, Kathy Hilton, at the Season 12 reunion. Then at BravoCon, Kyle was embarrassed by Dorit during a funny game.
It is finally clear where the issues started between this duo. Kyle feels that Dorit always talks, but never listens, while Dorit calls Kyle “a master manipulator.” WOW. These ladies are coming in hot…
Cue the friendship between Dorit and Kathy
When PK and Dorit’s announcement hit, Dorit was headed to Kathy’s house with a cigarette in-hand. It was a cinematic moment before the ad break. At home, Dorit found Kathy hooked up to IVs, slurping a drink while her glam team worked on her. As one does.
Of course, Dorit wasted no time spilling the tea. PK has a sober coach now because he is “a full-blown alcoholic.” Surprisingly, Dorit admitted that she wanted to meet somewhere in the middle, but there were no shades of gray in PK’s world. So, it was PK who wanted to separate.
However, Dorit still loves him, but a lot of work has to be done to save their marriage. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like PK wants to put the work in. Dorit stated that the worst-case scenario is that they are besties who co-parent their kids. And Dorit noted that Kathy supports her, while Kyle has “iced” her out.
Sutton puts the “surreal” in Surrealism
I love a good theme, and Sutton has thrown an epic party. The guests were asked to come in their best Dali-inspired fashion. There is a woman with three faces on stilts and swimmers in the pool with umbrellas. And the décor is outrageous. Plus, there is an alpaca and a monkey.
Of course, Sutton is wearing a butterfly headpiece with antlers reminiscent of a work by Dali. And Sutton’s bestie, actress Jennifer Tilly, is wearing a black dress with swan heads on her dress and her headpiece. She is officially a friend of the cast this season. Naturally, Dorit has a fishtail dress and a giant disk on her head.
Bozoma Saint John bonded with Dorit
When Bozoma arrived, she wore a fabulous white dress with a train. Her assistant arranged it behind her as she entered. Now that is how to slay an entrance! Of course, Sutton and Bozoma (aka Boz) are such good friends that Sutton calls her “the Boss.”
I was surprised that Boz and Dorit bonded quickly. First, it was over fashion. Then Dorit shared about her separation, and it resonated with Boz because she is a widow. Boz and her husband decided to separate after 10 years of marriage, but when he received a cancer diagnosis, they reconciled.
According to Boz, she can tell immediately if she vibes with a person, and she thinks that Dorit “is fantastic.”
Kyle is vulnerable with Erika and Garcelle
Kudos to Garcelle. Her career has gone into overdrive. She is executive producing two movies and acting in one of them. At that moment, Kyle decided to be open with Garcelle and Erika about the tabloid stories about her and Morgan. Kyle won’t use her name, because Kyle can only speak for herself. It’s an odd position to take after Morgan starred in Season 13.
While she and Morgan are not together, Garcelle pointed out the obvious. The steamy video that they made for Morgan’s song just amped up the interest and speculation about them. Kyle can’t put all the blame on the press. However, the rumors had an interesting effect on Kyle. Finally, she explained that she told her daughters that she was questioning her sexuality.
In her confessional, Kyle said through tears, “I didn’t want them to be embarrassed by me. I didn’t want them to be angry at me.” Thankfully, Kyle’s worries were unfounded. Her daughters said that there was nothing that she could do to make them stop loving her. I love seeing this raw and vulnerable Kyle.
Is it past Kathy’s bedtime?
Then Kathy rolled in, wearing what looked like a mint-green nightgown with rhinestones, and a crown on her head. She approached the table and focused on Boz immediately. Kathy told her that she knew who she was and was happy to meet her. Then she called her, “Boss.”
“No, it’s Boz,” the newbie responded. Kathy replied, “No, it’s Boss” and pointed to herself. Boz realized she was giving her a compliment, because of her incredible career and achievements. But still, Kathy needs to work on her delivery.
Next, Kathy ordered Kyle to help her remove her crown and extensions because she was too hot. Someone get her a box fan! Boz was bewildered. She couldn’t believe that Kathy was pulling out her extensions at a lavish party and leaving them on chairs.
A spicy Dorit takes on Kyle
When Kyle asked to speak with Dorit, she got more than she bargained for. Dorit told Kyle that her remarks about Dorit exaggerating their friendship was just the final straw. Then Dorit told Kyle that she was “made to feel like I have to reevaluate whether or not we were friends.”
Naturally, Kyle didn’t know how to handle this activated Dorit. “What’s happened to you? Why are you doing that?” Kyle asked.
“I’m fed up, Kyle. And this is the kind of bullsh*t that I’m talking about,” she stated. Then Dorit said they had to be “honest” and talk about real feelings.
Once again, Kyle was shocked and couldn’t understand why Dorit was acting this way. “Because I’m not going to put up with your sh*t anymore, Kyle,” Dorit said.
Then we saw the dreaded, “To Be Continued!” This is gonna be one heck of a season!
Season 14 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on November 19 at 8/7c on Bravo.
