The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills consistently ranks among Bravo’s top shows, yet the cast often faces criticism for lacking the transparency exhibited by their counterparts on other series. Recently, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania shared her perspective on this issue.

During an appearance on Two Ts In a Pod with hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp, Dolores weighed in on a recent episode from RHOBH season 15. She expressed, “I will tell you this: no one gets away with what Beverly Hills gets away with.”

She elaborated, “With not talking about their life,” to which Tamra concurred, adding, “Well, I think that Kyle’s hands are tied. Like she wants to talk about it, but the other person doesn’t want to be mentioned.” Tamra was referring to Kyle Richards’ past relationship with Morgan Wade. Although Kyle admitted to being in a relationship on the show, she refrained from naming Morgan.

As the discussion progressed, Dolores remarked, “Okay, fine. I get it, but that’s still not okay in everybody else’s world. It’s just not.” She continued by highlighting, “A lot of people’s other people don’t wanna be involved. I can name some boyfriends who don’t wanna be involved, yet people are told, ‘Then we have to rethink your status.’”

The conversation continued with Dolores saying, “Okay, fine. I get it, but that’s still not okay in everybody else’s world. It’s just not.” From there, she said, “A lot of people’s other people don’t wanna be involved. I can name some boyfriends who don’t wanna be involved, yet people are told, ‘Then we have to rethink your status.’”

In the end, Tamra said, “Well, I can go on about that, but I’m just gonna shut it down right there.” Several Bravo fans took to the comments to either agree with Dolores or defend the cast. One person said on X, “Finally, some truth about Beverly Hills! They are clearly favored and for no reason. The show hasn’t been interesting for 5 years.”

Someone else wrote, “Its a poor excuse. Paparazzi photos, a music video, outings where fans will see. But dont mention it on the show?? Girl go away smh.”

Another fan said, “It’s laughable that Dolores would be the one to make this comment. Such a big talker now that cameras aren’t rolling.”

Finally, someone defended Kyle, writing, “If Kim could keep a storyline going about Big Papa for YEARS without ever showing him then Kyle could do the same 🤷🏽‍♂️ #RHOBH”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursday nights, and Two Ts in a Pod is available on all streaming platforms.
