Their friendship is on the rocks.
Dorit Kemsley is accusing her pal and co-star Kyle Richards of trying to coax her into keeping her secrets.
“She sends me a text yesterday basically trying to silence me,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 47, tells Erika Jayne in a sneak peek of the upcoming Season 13 reunion.
“It was so manipulative. It was so calculated.”
Kemsley then shows a lengthy message Richards, 55, allegedly sent her ahead of their reunion taping, in which the latter said that some of the former’s interview comments “hurt [her] feelings.”
“I heard some of the things you said about me off camera that hurt me deeply and I wasn’t even able to say what I heard or who from,” the “Halloween Kills” star also said, per screenshots of the text.
“I don’t want to lose someone else in my life over a TV show.”
Richards then added, seemingly referencing the marital issues she’s been having with Mauricio Umansky, “They don’t even know we are even going through a hard time so I don’t see the need to bring it up there.”
“Relationships and YOU are more important to me than RHOBH and I don’t feel like ‘bringing it’ for the [sic] at our expense,” the mom of four concluded. “Especially when we have enough battles to handle as it is.”
Kemsley then asks Jayne, 52, how she would feel if she received those messages, to which the “Pretty Mess” singer replies, “I would feel manipulated.”
At that point, Kemsley brings up how Jayne told host Andy Cohen weeks prior to “eviscerate” Richards at the reunion because the “How Many F–ks” singer had been in the hot seat herself the year prior due to her ex Tom Girardi’s string of lawsuits and she felt “fair is fair.”
“As somebody who got eviscerated, I would like to see everybody to get the same treatment,” Jayne previously said on “Watch What Happens Live” in January.
“This is exactly my point,” Kemsley says before reiterating her co-star’s words, “Fair is fair. This is the reunion.”
“I hear you,” Jayne then replies. “I understand exactly where you’re coming from, and I hate every moment of this.”
Richards — who split from Umansky, 53, in July 2023 while filming Season 13 and has since been rumored to be dating country singer Morgan Wade — has not clarified what exactly she wanted Kemsley to keep mum at the reunion. Her reps did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Can’t get enough ‘Real Housewives?’
However, Richards has been candid in recent months that her friendship with Kemsely is not as tight-knit as it once seemingly was.
“I love Dorit, but it’s not like, you know, my friends, we’ll go to the gym, we’ll work out together, we hike together. She doesn’t do that kind of stuff,” she said during a Jan. 9 livestream on Amazon.
Kemsley, meanwhile, blamed her estrangement from Richards on the latter’s closeness with Wade, 29.
“She’ll kill me, but I feel like the closer she got with Morgan the further she got from me,” the fashion designer said on “WWHL” last December.
“But I don’t think I’m the only one. I’m sorry Kyle, I love you. But it’s the truth, it’s how I feel.”
