- April 3, 2026
AceShowbiz - Brandi Glanville has publicly supported fellow Dorit Kemsley as the reality star endures turmoil after her recent divorce and ongoing conflicts with her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates.
During the April 2 episode of RHOBH, tensions flared between Dorit Kemsley, 49, and her co-stars, prompting Brandi Glanville to step in and defend Dorit on social media. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Glanville urged fans to “Leave Dorit alone!” while recalling her own post-divorce experience.
In a candid and bold remark, Brandi Glanville, 53, shared that she once purchased a vaginal rejuvenation surgery using her ex-husband’s American Express card following her split from Eddie Cibrian. Brandi wrote, “When I was in her place I got a brand new vagina and put it on my ex-husband's Amex. We all are a little erratic when we are heartbroken and going through divorce! Team Dorito!”
This revelation referenced the intimate surgery Brandi Glanville underwent after her 2009 divorce from Cibrian, a topic she documented in her 2013 memoir Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders. In the book, she revealed how she confronted her ex about the $12,000 procedure, which he initially questioned over the phone, sarcastically asking if she had gotten a nose job. She deflected his anger with a simple confirmation and hung up.
Brandi Glanville has been open about her struggles with breast implants as well. During a February 26 episode of RHOBH, she disclosed that her implants, which were approximately 20 years old, caused her significant health issues and that her ex-husband Eddie did not support her through the ordeal.
Meanwhile, Dorit Kemsley found herself at the center of a heated dispute with castmates Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards during the same week’s episode. Erika, 54, criticized Dorit for her habitual tardiness, accusing her of disrespecting the group by keeping them waiting. Dorit defended herself by explaining she was on the phone checking on her children, 12-year-old Jagger and 10-year-old Phoenix, amidst her ongoing divorce from PK Kemsley, which was filed in April 2025.
Erika challenged Dorit, suggesting that other Housewives also have children and questioning why Dorit’s should take precedence. She urged her to simply send a message to inform the group if she would be late instead of causing delays.
The tension escalated as Rachel Zoe attempted to sympathize with Dorit, acknowledging the emotional toll of her marital breakdown. However, Erika Jayne pushed back, expressing frustration that everyone on the show is dealing with their own hardships. The confrontation intensified as Erika referenced her own personal struggles, including the legal battles stemming from her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s 2024 conviction for wire fraud and his subsequent seven-year prison sentence.
Erika Jayne is currently facing a lawsuit seeking $25 million related to Tom Girardi’s bankruptcy case, with the trial scheduled for later this year. During the explosive argument, the two women exchanged harsh insults, with Erika and Dorit calling each other offensive names.
The drama between Dorit Kemsley and her castmates highlights the emotional challenges and personal conflicts that continue to unfold on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Through it all, Brandi Glanville remains a vocal ally, reminding fans that heartbreak and erratic behavior are part of the complex process of divorce and healing.
As the season progresses, viewers can expect more confrontations and emotional moments as these women navigate their personal lives under the spotlight, balancing family, legal battles, and friendships tested by fame and adversity.
