I got a permanent block from posting to the page for calling Dorit out on her behaviour. But now I seem to be seeing a lot of anti Dorit content over there.

Is it a case of a new mod

Or

Can Dorit no longer pay for the trolls and positive comments 🤔

I feel like paying for positive comments may be as important in her monthly spend on fashion 😂

Tracy Tudor was the reason I stopped watching Million Dollar Listing, I seriously don't need to watch her again, thank goodness they overlooked that brain freeze moment.

The $6.5 million Encino mansion remains in legal limbo following an intense August 2026 court battle. While the immediate foreclosure auction has been called off, the home has not been officially sold on the open market because Dorit and her estranged husband, Paul "PK" Kemsley, are locked in a dispute over whether to sell it. [1, 2, 3]

⚖️** The August 2026 Legal Battle & Home Sale Sta**tus
The current standoff centers around the couple's highly contentious divorce and conflicting demands regarding the estate: []
PK’s Demand to Force a Sale: PK has requested sole authority from the court to force the immediate sale of the home. He claims that he has offered to bring the mortgage completely current only if Dorit agrees to move out so the property can finally be sold. He has accused her of a major spending problem, alleging she spent $250,000 on a recent trip to Paris instead of helping cover the mortgage. [1, 3, 4]
Dorit’s Refusal and Request to Block: Dorit filed court documents asking a judge to flatly deny PK's request to sell the home. She argues that the foreclosure risk is exaggerated, that PK has plenty of money to pay the debt, and that he is weaponizing the real estate drama to "render his wife and children homeless". []
The Settlement Standoff: During an all-day court hearing on August 5, 2026, attorneys for both sides attempted to reach an agreement. Legal commentators note that they are reportedly "close to a deal," but Dorit has refused to sign a final stipulation that would legally compel her to leave the property. [, 2]

🛑 Why the Foreclosure Auction Was Called Off
Prior to the ongoing divorce fight over the listing, the property narrowly avoided being seized by banks. []
The Repayment Update: In July 2026, the primary lender confirmed that the scheduled foreclosure auction was officially canceled because the "borrowers are handling the debt and working their way out of foreclosure".[1]
PK’s Cash Injections: Legal observers noted that PK made emergency, last-minute personal payments to the lenders to temporarily stabilize the high-interest loans, effectively buying the family more time to sort out the property's future. [1, 2]
Because Dorit continues to occupy the residence with their two children and refuses to sign a forced-sale agreement, the property remains off the active real estate market until a judge rules on PK's emergency motions. [, 3, 4]

So, I do see both sides of their argument. Kyle was critical of Dorit's spending and regardless of whether or not it was/is her place to comment, she was right in being concerned about it. Ethically I think we can all agree that securing a roof over your children's heads is much more important than a Kelly bag. Her ongoing communication with PK is always a tough age-old situation to be in when couples separate - do you take one side or do you try and sit on the fence in the hope that they work through it and you haven't destroyed either friendship?

Dorit expects Kyle's underlying support, which is expected when you have built a close friendship/relationship, and probably feels a little betrayed. Kyle probably shouldn't have spoken about Dorit and PKs relationship with others fair enough. But with friendship comes truth, and I am not sure Dorit was ready to hear some home truths being served to her.

Will they both return next season, and if they do, do we need to go through another season of their back and forth? As a viewer, I think we have seen enough. And, if they are REAL friends, cannot they not just mend fences off camera and give us some much-needed fun the show is seriously missing.

Clearly the credit cards are maxed out, so someone must be funding it...meanwhile....the electricity bill (??)

This is not a post about whether I like Dorit or don't like Dorit....because I'm not saying either. Somebody just needs to inject a little common sense into this conversation.

Yes Dorit is loud, dramatic, high maintenance. But the truth is .... none of us actually know what is TRULY going on.

People will site in the comments about this headline, or that tabloid story, or this text snippet, or that note from PKs lawyer, etc. But none of this changes the fact that we don't see what happens off camera or behind closed doors. We don't see their private conversations, their full finances, or 99% of their actual lives. With the France trip, how do we know she hasn't been there trying to make business deals to get some income coming in? How do we even know that RHOBH cameras aren't with her in France as part of a contracted storyline? How do we know if her lawyer has told her not to say anything to defend or explain herself since it might hurt her in court? And then there's PK, who questioned on national television whether his own wife's PTSD was legitimate or whether she was just being obnoxious.... can we at least stop for five seconds and think about what that might say about what Dorit may have been dealing with privately?

But at the end of the day WE. DON'T. TRULY. KNOW.

What we DO see is a highly edited television show and an endless stream of tabloid stories. And suddenly those stories get repeated enough times that speculation becomes "fact," everyone jumps on the same bandwagon, and anybody who questions the accepted narrative gets treated like they're delusional.

People take rumors, anonymous sources, lawsuits, text snippets where we don't see the full exchanges over days/weeks/months, headlines, and online speculation, throw them into a blender, and what comes out the other side is treated as established fact. A narrative gets planted. It gets repeated. People pile onto it. Then every new piece of information gets interpreted through that narrative because everyone has already decided who the villain is. And anyone who speaks against the narrative gets downvoted.

Maybe people should use more common sense and critical thinking skills. Maybe we should stop acting like watching RHOBH, reading gossip sites, and scrolling social media gives us complete knowledge of somebody's marriage, finances, trauma, or character ..... Because it doesn't. For all we know Dorit’s team may have uncovered money, assets, or information involving PK that the public knows absolutely nothing about.... and that could be why she’s holding her position. People who blindly pile on Dorit as though they have access to the case file could quite literally be buying into a narrative created as part of one side’s divorce strategy and have no idea they’re being played.

Now first, let me preface this by saying this is probably a crazy theory, and Amanda herself basically said after the reunion that she didn't really want to come back, so take this with a grain of salt. But if it wasn't entirely Amanda's choice, and Bravo also didn't ask her back, I honestly find that kind of odd.

Whether you like Amanda or not, she was creating actual, genuine conflict and drama on the show. RHOBH has had a boring problem for years. A lot of the time it's shopping montages, glam, and dinners where the stakes are incredibly low, especially when you compare it to some of the other franchises.

Do I like Amanda as a person? Not really. Do I agree with her business strategy? Also no. But honestly, I kind of put it in the same category as people who charge for tarot readings or astrology charts. I would never spend my money on it, but if other people want to, that's their business.

What I did enjoy was how feral and unhinged she made some of these women become.

Boz is probably the best example. She's so polished, so PR-trained, and honestly reminds me of that person you'd work with in a corporate office who could somehow spin something they did into being your fault. Amanda was one of the only people who really cracked that image. Their conflict actually felt real to me, and I think it showed a much less polished side of Boz. She came across as mean, petty, and honestly kind of calculated in a way I don't think she intended.

Amanda basically drove so much of the conflict last season by simply existing. Even her shade off the show made me laugh. Her saying she might buy Dorit's house was genuinely hilarious.

So if Bravo really didn't ask her back, I don't really get it from an entertainment standpoint. Now it feels like we're heading into another season that's mostly Kyle vs. Dorit, and do we really need a whole season of that?

I know a lot of people didn't like Amanda, but Bravo has never really cared whether fans like someone. If they're bringing something valuable to the show, they'll usually keep them around.

So here's where my theory comes in.

I'm not saying Amanda was let go because of Boz or that Boz has some kind of huge influence with Bravo. I don't think that's the case.

But I do wonder if production sees Boz as the better long-term investment. Amanda unintentionally exposed a side of Boz that wasn't nearly as polished as the image she came in with. If Bravo is planning on building around Boz for the next few seasons, I could see them deciding they'd rather invest in her than keep someone whose biggest role was constantly challenging her.

Especially because RHOBH has already received criticism over how it's handled Garcelle, Crystal, and other women of color over the years. I could see production wanting Boz to succeed as a long-term Housewife.

Or maybe Amanda genuinely didn't want to come back and I'm reading way too much into all of this.
Just some food for thought. Curious what everyone else thinks.

I hope casting don't feel the need to replace her just for the sake of it. Keep the cast as is for a season and see if they perform or not before adding anyone new or ending another current.
