The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion was full of everything a Bravo fan might expect — shade … and more shade.
Andy Cohen hosted the women’s “backyard cocktail party in the Hollywood Hills” as Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Janye, Annemarie Wiley, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke and Crystal Minkoff were put in the hot seat.
“I hope it’s fun,” Andy joked on the Wednesday, February 28, episode, which received a laugh from all the women. Ahead of part 1, the RHOBH reunion teaser promised a conversation with Kyle about the status of her friendship with Morgan Wade and to address where things between Kyle and Mauricio Umanksy stand. (Us confirmed in July 2023 that Kyle and Mauricio had separated after 27 years of marriage.)
Andy wasted no time teasing Kyle that Mauricio was waiting in the wings to make an appearance. “Mau’s gonna be joining us today,” the Bravo boss quipped before they officially started the reunion.
“You are f–king lying,” Kyle hit back. When he revealed that he was indeed lying, Kyle called him a “f–ker.”
A discussion between Dorit and Kyle about the status of their friendship was also promised to viewers. It seems Kyle will be in the hot seat for all three parts. But don’t worry, the other RHOBH women got their quips in.
Keep reading for the snarkiest comments from the RHOBH season 13 reunion:
Erika Throws Some Shade at Production
The reunion kicked off with the women arriving at The Culver Studios in Culver City, CA. Erika, looking for her trailer, pointed out the “interesting placements” of each dressing room.
“If you put me next to Sutton, I’ll f—king kill you,” Erika quipped. “Kidding.”
The Commentary About Dorit’s Outfit
Dorit graced the reunion stage with a red hooded gown — giving Little Red Riding Hood.
“Oh, my God, I’m so glad I got here at 8:15 while we wait for Dorit’s dress to be sewed,” Andy said. When Dorit arrived he said, “Oh, my God. Hey hood.”
Garcelle also commented, saying, “Oh, Mother Teresa,” under her breath.
Give Erika ‘A Break’
After Dorit and Garcelle discussed their ups and downs throughout the season, Andy asked, “Where do you go from here?” Erika chimed in, answering for both women: “To a break, because I need one.”
Does Garcelle ‘Like’ Dorit?
“Tell me this, do you like me?” Dorit asked Garcelle at one point, who responded, “Sometimes.”
Earlier in the season, Garcelle told Dorit she displayed “unconscious Karen behavior” following an argument. (Dorit had claimed Garcelle “attacked” her, which Garcelle said “hit” her in the wrong place as a Black woman.)
Lisa Vanderpump Namedrop
Kyle had some tea about former RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump during a commercial break. (Lisa left the show following season 9 in 2019.)
“Guys, listen to what Vanderpump did,” Kyle said. “She met Crystal and she said, ‘Who are you?’ Crystal had to say [she’s] on the show. She said, ‘Is Kyle still on?’ … That is really funny.”
Andy shot up in his chair and said, “No!” with a huge smile on his face.
The Reactions to Dorit’s ‘Child Bride’ Comment
Crystal was accused of calling the RHOBH women “not intelligent” earlier in the season. Upon hearing this comment, Dorit referred to her as a “child bride,” a “throwaway comment” — per Dorit — that was brought up at the reunion.
“That is a disgusting thing to say,” Crystal said. “OK, I’m an Asian person. … As an Asian person, calling someone a child bride is the equivalent to a mail-order bride.”
Under her breath, Garcelle said, “See, that’s what I’m talking about,” referring to Dorit’s apparent ignorance. Crystal further told Dorit it was a “micro-aggressive” comment.
“It feels macro, not micro,” Erika said on the side.
Kyle Is Fed Up With Sutton
At one point, Kyle and Sutton discussed their ongoing issues with raised voices. Kyle also took some snarky shots toward Sutton.
“Don’t do [that] with the name ‘em thing,” Kyle said when Sutton had asked her the same question more than once. This was, of course, a reference to Sutton’s now-famous quote from earlier in the season in which she repeatedly said “name ‘em” during a fight with Kyle.
Elsewhere in that same conversation, Kyle mimicked Sutton’s high-pitched voice, yelling, “What?” to her costar.
Garcelle’s Continued Digs at Dorit
As the reunion continued, so did Garcelle’s various digs at Dorit.
Andy asked Dorit if Sutton has “a drinking problem,” but instead of answering the question, Dorit repeated it. “Whenever someone repeats the question, they’re stalling,” Garcelle declared, addressing her comment toward Crystal.
Elsewhere in the episode, Dorit was discussing the speculation that she and husband PK Kemsley were “living separate lives.” While Dorit denied that there was anything wrong in their marriage, she noted, “Words have weight.” This caused Garcelle to repeat the statement under her breath, referring to their conversation from earlier in the reunion.
Is Sutton in ‘The Streets’?
During the RHOBH season 13 premiere, Sutton made a claim about PK having another woman in his car.
“The streets told me,” Sutton said of the rumor. Erika responded, “What streets are talking? What streets are you running?”
The Teresa Giudice Mention
Andy made a hilarious dig toward Kyle when referencing comments that she made earlier in the season about “signing my whole life away” to husband Mauricio Umansky.
“Do you know my friend Teresa Giudice?” the Bravo host asked, referring to the RHONJ star’s past legal troubles.
Hello Kathy Hilton
It seemed that not every RHOBH star was privy to Kathy Hilton’s appearance during the season 13 reunion. “Kathy? Oh!” Garcelle said when it was revealed that she would be joining the women on stage.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
