The frenemies, whose respective marriage troubles were the subject of drama and controversy on Season 13 of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," had an on-air spat during the show's three-part reunion in March.

In 2021, The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Dorit Kemsley was the subject of a home invasion Wednesday evening in the city's wealthy Encino neighborhood. The break-in was detailed on Season 12 of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Kemsley joined the cast of "RHOBH" as a diamond holder in 2016.

While Bravo, which airs the "Real Housewives" franchise, has not publicly announced Kemsley or Richards' return to "Real Housewives," both Crystal Kung Minkoff and one-season wonder Annemarie Wiley announced their departures after Season 13 stopped airing this spring.

"I just wanted to share the news that I will not be coming back to film Season 14 of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' It's very bittersweet," Kung Minkoff said. "Never did I think I would have been asked to do the show in a million years, let alone film it for three seasons. Every single year I was asked back, it was a blessing. It was an honor."
