Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley Reunite in the Hamptons—with a Surprise ‘Southern Charm’ Cameo

After a turbulent run on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 14, Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley appear to be repairing their friendship—and they’re doing it in style. On Saturday, August 2, the Bravo stars linked up in Montauk for a Hamptons weekend filled with music, dancing, and a surprise “Southern Charm” crossover with Austen Kroll. Add in a possible camera crew and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, and you’ve got the Bravo multiverse in full effect.

Richards documented the weekend on her Instagram Stories, showing herself and Kemsley dancing at the Surf Lodge while watching Mojave Grey, a musical duo made up of Zander Bleck and Michael Pozzi. The two were joined by Rachel Zoe, who will be a full-time cast member on RHOBH season 15. Kemsley posted clips of the crowd and more scenes of the trio enjoying the night with friends.

The mini-getaway comes after months of onscreen drama. Ruchards and Kemsley’s once-close friendship hit a low point during season 14, largely due to Richards’ ongoing issues with her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, and her close bond with country artist Morgan Wade.

Kemsley addressed the tension during a December 2023 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” saying, “I feel like the closer she got to Morgan the further she got from me… Sorry, Kyle, I love you, but it’s the truth!”

Things went from bad to worse when Kemsley found out Richards was still texting her ex, Paul “PK” Kemsley. Though Richards insisted the messages were harmless memes, she ultimately agreed to cut contact for the sake of their friendship.

Where Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley Stand Now

In a May 2024 Amazon Live stream, Richards confirmed the two were back on good terms: “Dorit and I, thank God, we’re good,” she said. “We haven’t really seen each other except at Alexia’s engagement dinner because of both of our schedules, but we’re good. So that makes me happy.”

Kemsley shared her perspective in a 2025 Rollacoaster Magazine interview. “If you don’t get things out, if you don’t make things right… you’re telling them that it’s okay. And it’s not,” she said, explaining how confronting the issues actually strengthened their bond.

A Surprise Southern Charm Crossover

According to a tip sent to Bravo and Cocktails, “Southern Charm’s” Austen Kroll was also at the Surf Lodge that night. “Dorit and Austen were truly so nice and fun,” the eyewitness wrote. “Kyle and Rachel Zoe were much more reserved but also nice.”

Though Kroll didn’t interact with the RHOBH women on camera, he was spotted chatting with Robert Sieber—Danielle Olivera’s ex from “Summer House”—who reportedly works at the venue. There were also rumors that cameras were rolling, though it’s unclear whether it was for RHOBH, “Summer House,” or just background footage for the event.
