Erika Jayne is back in Dorit Kemsley’s good graces.

The latter “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 46, exclusively told Page Six why she forgave the “Pretty Mess” singer, 51, for making a dig at her marriage during BravoCon 2022. 

“Obviously, neither PK or I were happy with what Erika said at BravoCon,” Kemsley told us while hosting her Homeless Not Toothless Hollywood Gala Saturday night at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton. 

The Beverly Beach by Dorit designer said that she wasn’t ready to give up on her seven year-friendship with Jayne, who predicted live onstage in October 2022 that she and husband Paul “PK” Kemsley would be the next “RHOBH” couple to split. 

“You have to look at things in isolation and accept that we’ve also had a friendship for seven years,” Dorit explained, adding that Jayne was “apologetic” for her comment. 

“You know, we went through it. You’ll see that,” she elaborated, teasing that the conflict and resolution will play out on “RHOBH” Season 13. “I can’t tell you too much, but we’ve obviously come to the other side.”

Dorit also acknolwedged that she and PK — who’ve been married for eight years and share son Jagger, 9, and daughter Phoenix, 7 — are doing better than ever.

“Particularly in the town that we’re in, it’s really important in marriage … to maintain [communication, transparency, trust and honesty], to keep those things close to your heart and make sure that you both stick to it,” she said of the duo’s longevity. 

“Laughing and having fun together is, for us anyway, is definitely one of the things that keeps us together and close.”


Many “Housewives” and fans of the Bravo franchise were shocked by Jayne’s decision to take a jab at the pair — including PK himself. 

The British businessman, 55, memorably hit back at Jayne on social media, quipping that she should be hesitant to speak given her own relationship issues with her estranged husband, disgraced attorney Tom Girardi. 

Jayne later responded in an Instagram comment, saying PK and Dorit should have known “damn well” that she was “joking.” 

Chatting with Page Six at the Homeless Not Toothless event, the Las Vegas residency performer expressed relief at being able to reconcile with Dorit. 

“You’ll see in the show, [it was] something that got totally blown out of proportion,” she said. “And it all got resolved, thank God.” 

Jayne and the rest of the current “Beverly Hills” crew — including Crystal Kung Minkoff, Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke and newbie Annemarie Wiley — came out to support Dorit at her lavish party, filmed for the next “Beverly Hills” installment. 

“I’m so grateful for all the girls that they’re out here tonight supporting and that’s what we do,” said the philanthropist, noting that preparations took place “nonstop, 24/7” for roughly one month. 

Dorit helmed the affair — meant to raise funds for veterans, the homeless, foster youth and low-income persons in LA to receive quality dental care — with fellow board members William H. Macy and Sharon Stone present. 

Meanwhile, Paula Abdul came out to introduce the silent auction and special guest performer, pop icon Taylor Dayne, who delighted the crowd with lively renditions of her ‘80s hits. 

“I had a few goals. One was to create a beautiful night and make sure that everybody in the room has a great time,” Dorit said before the evening kicked off. 

“And I think we definitely will have accomplished that and I think we’ll also raise a lot of money tonight.”
