Dorit Kemsley has had a rough few years on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she shared why she didn't leave the show. Kemsley, who survived a break in at her home, has been going through a separation and potential divorce with husband Paul "PK" Kemsley. She has fought with Kyle Richards and Sutton Stracke and has made herself into an enemy of some of her fellow housewives. But one of her biggest allies seems to be former co-star Lisa Rinna. And Rinna is the one who convinced Kemsley to stay on the show.
During a new interview, Kemsley shared that Rinna gave her advice on the show and made it clear that she shouldn't leave The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills unless she was absolutely certain. “I shared everything with her. And she said to me, ‘Dorit, if you decide you don’t want to do it and you’re done and you’re ready, then walk away and feel good about it. Don’t do it unless you’re a hundred percent in. Because if you do it, you’ve got to do it. Be bold, unapologetic, unafraid, but do it.’ And I took that advice,” she told the publication.

Kemsley went on to talk about Rinna and how she'd love for her to return to the show and even defended her friend. “I think she got a little bit of a bad rap, but I know how much she gave and gives and how wonderfully fabulous she is and I’d just love for her to come back.” During her time on the show, Rinna got in major fights with her fellow wives, including fighting with Richards' sister, Kim Richards.
