Camille Grammer is weighing in on Dorit Kemsley’s evolution on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — and how she’s changed since splitting from husband PK Kemsley.
“The first season that Dorit was on, they were both very nice,” Grammer, 57, recalled on the Monday, May 18, episode of the “Humble Brag” podcast while discussing her former RHOBH costar Dorit, 49, and Dorit’s estranged husband, PK, 58, who have been separated since May 2024.
Grammer explained, “I think Dorit has changed a lot since the first season. She was super sweet. She probably felt like she was getting in over her head.”
Grammer claimed that after watching season 15 of RHOBH, she felt like Dorit turned “into a monster” and has become “full of herself.”
She added that Dorit appeared to be “unraveling” amid her divorce from PK, which has been captured on camera all season.
“I’ve had the Dorit monster come for me. I’ve seen the nice, sweet Dorit. I’ve experienced that too,” Grammer shared.
Podcast cohost Crystal Kung Minkoff agreed that Dorit has “changed the most” on RHOBH. “I think that she’s imploding her life and I try to be neutral about it,” she claimed.
“I agree with you in a sense that she’s a mom. I feel bad for anybody going through such a difficult time. I do have sympathy,” Grammer responded. “Years ago, I just saw her change. Her head blew up. She bought into the hype.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Dorit’s rep for comment.
Earlier in the podcast, Minkoff, 43, asked where Grammer stands with Dorit following her own exit from the Bravo series in 2024 and Grammer didn’t mince words.
“Do I think she’s a funny ass bitch? Yes,” Grammer said with a laugh. “Sorry!”
Looking back at their time together on the show, Grammer claimed that Dorit was a different person after her reality TV debut during season 7. (Dorit has been part of the cast since 2016. Grammer, meanwhile, was an original cast member. She briefly left the show after season 3 but returned for season 5. Grammer exited for good in 2024 after one episode on season 14.)
“She was so arrogant. There was something that I didn’t trust about the show,” Grammer said of Dorit following their season 9 fight due to Grammer confronting Dorit about her and PK’s finances.
During the 2019 fight, Grammer brought up PK’s past bankruptcy issues, which she claimed he told her about earlier that season.
“I was just like, ‘Wow, where does she get all [these] fancy cars, this Bentley she’s driving around with? All these diamonds? Your makeup, your glam? Your clothes, they’re outstanding, they’re beautiful.’ I’ve always said that,” Grammer said at the time, calling into question where Dorit got all her money.
Dorit clapped back during the episode, claiming the bankruptcy filing took place more than a decade prior.
“My husband built a $2 billion business from zero. Let me finish, let me clear it up for you,” she said. “In 2008, his business went bust, he claimed bankruptcy much like many many successful men. What does that have to do with today? This is 10 years ago. What are you talking about?”
In May 2019, multiple outlets reported that PK was $1.2 million in debt to Nicos Kizris. He appeared in court the next month to sort out the lawsuit which dated back to 2011.
Grammer, meanwhile, alleged on Monday’s podcast that Dorit was “changing” in front of her eyes during that argument and as the rest of their time on TV unfolded.
She recalled Dorit being “sweet and wanting everybody’s acceptance and being a fish out of water” when she joined the franchise.
When Dorit had a rocky foray into the Real Housewives universe, Grammer explained she “felt like a kindred spirit,” but the next season was a different story.
“Then the next season, she got fiestier and fiesters,” Grammer claimed. “She really changed though.”
