The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans were shocked when the Season 15 trailer included footage of Dorit Kemsley sharing a meal with Kyle Richards’ ex-husband Mauricio Umansky. This was especially surprising considering Kemsley previously chastised Richards for exchanging “memes and jokes” with her ex-husband Paul Kemsley (aka Pk).

But as both Kemsley and Richards explained to TVLine on the red carpet at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Friday, there’s some key context missing from the trailer that should assuage viewers’ shock.

“People are taking that as if I did that behind Kyle’s back — it was Kyle’s recommendation,” Kemsley told TVLine Staff Editor Claire Franken.
