Season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” concluded recently on Bravo. Now, following the three-part reunion, there have been multiple reports about the show’s future. Among the most prevalent claims was that Dorit Kemsley was being pushed out. Now, the “RHOBH” star is opening up about whether or not she wants to return.
Kemsley interviewed with E! News in May 2026 to promote her upcoming memoir, “Unburdened.” During the chat, she was asked about her future with “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and if she would return if the network extended an offer for season 16. They also asked if she knows when it will be time to step away from the show.
She said, “Yes.” After that, she became more hesitant, saying, “The answer is yes, I believe, and yes.” Kemsley then began discussing the “hard lessons” she’s learned over the past couple of years, noting that anything can change.
The “RHOBH” star continued, “I’m very open right now. I’m having some really wonderful conversations.” Kemsley then went on to note that she’s “in a creative space” and that her focus is currently on her new book.
She stated, “I’m enjoying this moment so much, it’s really where my focus is.”
Dorit Says She Could Leave ‘Housewives’
The Bravo star continued her line of discussion, revealing how much she has evolved over the years. According to her, “I feel like I am entering into a new chapter of peace, acceptance, happiness, adventure.”
From there, Kemsley stated that with all she’s learned, she’ll know “whether it’s the right thing to do- move forward and continue, or step back.”
Regarding her time on “RHOBH,” Kemsley joined the show during its seventh season in 2016. Since then, she’s become a staple on the show, with her ongoing divorce from Paul PK Kemsley being among the biggest storylines of the past couple of seasons.
Fans Think Dorit May Be Fired From ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’
Depending on who you ask, Kemsley was either the best part of season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” or she made it unwatchable. Because of the wide spectrum of opinions about her performance, viewers are divided, with many believing she may have already been fired from the show following the reports.
One person said, “She got the ‘thank you for your services’ pink slip.” Another “RHOBH” fan wrote, “Please, Bravo, put her on pause or just get rid of her.”
However, in support of Kemsley, a different social media user stated, “Disgusting, she’s on pause. @bravoandy ruins every show. They can’t handle Dorit not falling in Kyle’s line, and it’s just obvious.”
Someone else defended her, writing, “People are so mean, I look at these comments, and I think, how do I see it so differently than all of you. No empathy for a woman going through a struggle with divorce from a husband, she married for Love, unlike some of the others with two young children, and the only empathy from Rachael, Boz, and the ever-endearing Jennifer.”
Then, another person assumed she had been fired from the show, saying, “This means her a-s got fired. That book isn’t selling sh-t.”
Lastly, an Instagram user discussed the overall future of “RHOBH”. They commented, “Even if Bravo pushed Dorit out bad move! Are they going to keep Sutton over her, really? Get rid of Kyle, her story is over and boring. And she is always full of crap. Keep Kathy full-time. How about taking a poll on who the fans like, and see where that goes?”
Dorit Recently Opened Up About Her ‘RHOBH’ Costars
Kemsley ended season 15 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” on a sour note with multiple of her costars. This includes Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne. In a May 2026 Entertainment Tonight interview, she opened up about how she could have handled her friendships differently and whether she believes they could move forward.
Regarding them repairing things, she responded, “I think so. I like to think so.” However, she added, “I need them to want it as much as I do.” She also spoke about the reunion with the interviewer, noting that many perceived her as stubborn.
Kemsley explained, “I think I was in such a dark place, and I was hurt and frustrated and aggressive, and you know, it was hard to watch back because it’s not who I am.”
When asked how she would approach the ladies differently if she could, she surmised, “I would be a lot more open and not so closed off.”
Dorit’s Book Is Days Away From Release
Kemsley’s book, “Unburdened: A Memoir,” will be released by Podium Entertainment on June 2. Kemsley has been promoting the new memoir with several in-depth interviews, but she’s also going on a three-date tour.
The tour begins May 31 with an appearance at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. After that, she had stops in New Jersey on June 3 and New York City on the following day. Kemsley shared the first look at the book’s cover on an “RHOBH” episode from season 15.
