Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion, Part 1 Recap: Garcelle Ends up in the Hot Seat

Welcome to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion, Part 1 recap. Last time, Sutton felt attacked from all sides, while Erika reacted to her estranged husband, Tom Girardi’s, conviction for wire fraud. Here’s what happened in the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion, Part 1.  

What happened in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion, Part 1?

Dorit gave an update on her situation with her estranged husband, PK Kemsley. The RHOBH cast wanted to see more of Garcelle and Sutton’s personal lives, while Kyle insisted that she has been open about her life for 14 years.

Then Garcelle confronted Kyle about not being able to mention Kyle’s friend, Morgan Wade. And Dorit and Garcelle squared off over Garcelle’s gut feeling that Dorit’s home invasion was a set-up.

Dorit explains the status of her marriage to PK Kemsley at the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion

First off, we have a montage of Dorit and her estranged husband, PK. Fast forward to this season, with Dorit labeling PK “a full-blown alcoholic.” It also featured that weirdly iconic moment of Dorit smoking in her car.

When Andy told Dorit that the viewers “loved” seeing her smoking, she was shocked. “That’s wild. Really wild,” she said. Dorit admitted that she is “a social smoker” but has become a “stress smoker” over the last couple of years. Then Andy asked Kyle if “PK sent her a meme about it.” She replied, “No.”

Of course, Andy addressed Dorit and PK’s decision not to tell their two children about their separation. Still, Dorit has no regrets. So, do the kids know now? “You know, they are not asking the questions. So, I think that when they see PK and I friendly, and there’s peace, and we’re happy, they’re okay,” Dorit said.

Andy asked Dorit if she was delaying telling the kids because she was hoping for a reconciliation. Nope! “More recently, I see less and less of a chance,” Dorit explained.

“Are you still in love with him?” Andy inquired. “Yeah. He’s my soul. He’s my blood; he’s my heart, and I hate that because it makes it so much more difficult,” Dorit said. “But I also know I need peace.”

PK declines to attend the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion but sends a statement

While PK declined to show up at the RHOBH reunion, he did send a statement. It read, in part:

“I was invited to be part of the Reunion but declined because I don’t believe engaging with Dorit in this forum would be constructive. Dorit has made several mischaracterizations about me, but the one I must address is the claim that I am a bad father. The statement is both heartbreaking and false.”

PK’s statement continued, “It is deeply hurtful to me, and more importantly, to our children, who, despite Dorit’s assertion, will inevitably see and hear all of this at a time not of our choosing. The Dorit I married would never have allowed this, much less caused it. That woman embodied kindness, integrity, and grace. I can only hope that this version of Dorit finds her way back to the person she once was.” Ouch!

Does Kyle think that fame has changed Dorit?

So, Andy quizzed Kyle about whether “fame has changed Dorit.” Kyle replied, “I think this season I saw a Dorit that I didn’t know.” Kyle added that Dorit was “angry,” and “she seemed a lot more aggressive than usual.”

Next, Andy brought up Dorit calling PK “the monster” and talking about PK’s temper. Kyle remarked in her confessional that she never saw that side of PK. “You’re supposed to know me way better than you know him,” Dorit told Kyle. “Because you only have a relationship where you have memes and jokes.” Oof.

For Kyle, Dorit calling PK a bad father and an alcoholic didn’t sit well because PK wasn’t there to defend himself. Sutton agreed, stating, “To me, it looked like you were throwing your husband under the bus.” According to Kyle, she felt like Dorit was “exaggerating” things about her and wondered if Dorit was doing the same to PK.

Why doesn’t Dorit know if PK is still sober?

Anyway, Andy asked how long PK had been sober. “It’s not a topic we discuss, as I discovered very recently,” Dorit replied. “So, I couldn’t answer that.” The room was silent.

“Wait, is he not sober?” Erika whispered. “I guess not,” Boz said. So, Andy said that it sounded like PK was no longer sober, but Dorit didn’t want to voice it.

“I have no idea. His exact words are, ‘It’s something I’m choosing not to discuss with you,’” Dorit explained. Now Dorit has “huge” concerns about this issue. “In fact … I said, ‘The way you’re making me feel in this moment, I don’t think I can have a relationship with you. Even a friendship.’”

Suddenly, Erika noticed the round table in the middle of the room. “Is that my living room table?” she asked. The ladies laughed in a much-needed moment of levity.

Eventually, Andy asked if Dorit and PK’s house was in foreclosure. Dorit explained that it was in “pre-foreclosure.” She wasn’t aware of it, and PK told her that he had called the lender about the mortgage rate. When they didn’t return his call, he stopped paying. In the end, PK resolved it. How mature of him!

Recently, Dorit decided not to have a relationship with PK. He sees their children on Saturdays when he is in town. “I think I’m realizing more and more each day that what I really believed was going to be my future may not be,” Dorit shared. “And I think that realization is really f*cking hard.”

Is Garcelle hiding part of her life from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Andy pointed out that Erika previously said that she wanted to see more of Sutton and Garcelle’s personal lives. “We want the juicy scoop,” Erika said. Garcelle insisted that there was nothing else to show.

As for her love life, she went on a couple of dates with one guy. “Do you know something?” Garcelle asked Erika.

“No, I wish you were more interesting, I guess,” Erika said. Oh, the shade! Andy’s jaw dropped. “Well, that’s a sh*tty thing to say, Erika. That’s a sh*tty thing to say,” Garcelle responded.

Then Kyle jumped in, explaining how much of her life she has shown over the past 14 years. Not so fast, Kyle!

“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,” Garcelle explained. “But then there’s pictures in the press … and we’re just supposed to pretend that’s not happening? Is that reality?”

Kyle replied that Morgan has no interest in being part of RHOBH. “She didn’t sign up for the show this season,” Garcelle said. “She came on as a favor to me,” Kyle replied.

“I was very hurt by you by what I saw on the show,” Kyle said. “Why did you come to me off-camera and talk to me?” Garcelle asked Kyle. “Because I thought that you’re my friend,” Kyle said.

Then Garcelle asked Sutton what she said after Kyle spoke to them off-camera. “I think that Kyle wants to protect Morgan,” Sutton stated. Welp, Garcelle disagreed.

“That’s not what you said,” Garcelle said. “You said, ‘That was a chess move.’” Then Kyle said, “The two of you together are mean girls.”

Did Sutton respect Kyle’s wishes regarding Morgan Wade on RHOBH?

Next, Kyle brought up how angry Garcelle became at Sutton for not backing her up during the conversation about Morgan. Kyle claimed that Garcelle was upset because Sutton wouldn’t attack Kyle.

While Sutton said that she followed Kyle’s wishes, Garcelle called her out. “Come on. No, you did not,” Garcelle said.

“I respected her wishes. I did. She didn’t want to talk about Morgan,” Sutton said. Still, Garcelle insisted that because Morgan filmed during Season 13 of RHOBH, it was fair to bring her up.

Of course, Andy asked Garcelle if Sutton “was obsessed with getting Kyle’s approval.” Garcelle replied, “I think Sutton’s relationship with Kyle is really important to her.”

Garcelle noted that she backs up Sutton, even though she doesn’t have to because they are friends. Now Kyle came in hot, referencing the Saint Lucia boat trip when Erika slammed Sutton. Kyle pointed out that neither Garcelle nor Jennifer Tilly stood up for Sutton.

Garcelle shares her thoughts about Dorit’s home invasion

Then Andy brought up what Garcelle said about Dorit’s home invasion being a set-up. “This was my feeling,” Garcelle said, adding that she isn’t talking about this again. 

“You feel it was a set-up?” Andy asked. “Yeah. I do,” she replied. Basically, Dorit said that there was zero proof. “Then I’m wrong,” Garcelle said. “I am sorry if it hurts you. This is how I feel,” the actress and producer added.

When Dorit brought up that Garcelle accused either her or PK of planning the break-in, Garcelle stopped her. “I didn’t say you or your husband. Do not put that in my mouth,” Garcelle said.

“You intimated that it was PK,” Dorit stated. Garcelle leaned forward and pointed at Dorit. “No, I did not!” she exclaimed. “I did not!”

“Who else would it be?” Kyle asked. “I don’t know who else it could be,” Garcelle fired back. While Dorit insisted in the RHOBH scene that Garcelle hinted that PK was behind it, Garcelle denied it. Cue the footage from nine months earlier!

“You know, when I said last year about her jewelry and the robbery, I don’t think Dorit had anything to do with that. But I think someone did,” Garcelle told Sutton.

Back to the reunion, where Garcelle was over this topic. Still, Dorit continued to sound off. “Was I the only one that felt that way?” Garcelle sighed.

“You tell me who else! Your four other people from Twitter?” Dorit exclaimed. Then Boz chimed in, mentioning the “repercussions” of Garcelle making those allegations without proof. “I think it’s dangerous of you to say,” Boz stated. “I think it is actually really, really, really terrible.”

Garcelle apologized while Dorit was still talking. There is no word on whether Dorit heard her.
