Dorit Kemsley arrived late to a private flight on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and after the show, her co-stars shared their thoughts.
As Dorit, 49, explained her late arrival, sharing that she had been met with an “impossible situation” as the flight was set to leave, her castmates looked back on the “wild” and upsetting turn of events, as Sutton Stracke, 54, stated that she was “unfazed” by Dorit’s failure to be on time.
“I’ve actually never seen anyone be that late for a private flight ever … then she just sort of waltzed in … it was wild,” Kyle Richards, 56, recalled on the January 8 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.
“This is my third time to meet Dorit, and all three times, she’d been really late,” added Amanda Frances, 40.
As Kyle and Amanda noted that they were afraid they’d lose their spot on the tarmac, Erika Jayne, 54, said the fact that Dorit was an hour and a half late felt like “a different level of late.”
“[And] when she does show up, she looks like she’s overwhelmed,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Sutton wasn’t bothered.
“It was the weirdest thing because I was really unfazed. It didn’t bother me,” she stated. “I thought, you know, this woman’s going through a lot. I don’t want to harass her about being late to an airplane.”
Although Sutton confirmed that “other people were upset,” Rachel Zoe, 54, said she was “confused.”
“I didn’t know if everyone else on the plane knew something I didn’t. I know from flying private for many years with friends and things like that, that like, when I’m going to someone’s plane, if they say, ‘Be there at 8 p.m.,’ I’m there at 7:20,” she reasoned.
In her own After Show segment, Dorit recalled being “stressed and frazzled” on the day of the fight as she admitted to understanding her castmates’ frustrations.
“I was very, very stressed and frazzled, and it took me more than a minute to like, breathe through it,” she shared. “There was, ‘Are you okay,’ ‘Is everything okay,’ but I think, understandably, when you’re sitting on a jet for 90 minutes, that’s very annoying.”
As for what happened, Dorit said she “had a lot going on” because her two kids, son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9, were flying home from a two-week visit with her parents in Florida.
“The kids were supposed to land with my mother in the morning. She’s got macular degeneration, and she can still see, but she cannot read things. She has to have someone do it, so I said to the dispatcher, ‘It’s very important that the driver has the flight info so he knows exactly where to send her … because she’s with my kids,’” she explained.
Although Dorit expected the driver to take her mother and children to the correct airline, he brought them to the wrong terminal, which resulted in a “whole mess” that Dorit needed to sort through before boarding her own flight.
“I needed to make sure that she and the kids had a flight … It was really, really an impossible situation,” she noted. “She was already very frantic, so for her not [be able to] reach me, and [know that] I was dealing with it, forget it.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
