During the episode, Bozoma âBozâ Saint John, 48, dismissed the financial advice from Amanda Frances, 40, to Dorit, 49. Amanda criticized Dorit for ignoring her financial situation with PK, 58. Meanwhile, Kyle Richards, 56, admitted to similarly overlooking her financial matters, and Dorit reflected on the consequences of PKâs financial missteps.
âI found out the house was going into pre-foreclosure at the same time as everyone else,â Dorit confessed on the December 18 episode of the RHOBH: After Show. âIf youâre going to skip mortgage payments, at least inform me. These issues are public, and Iâm left to address them.â
Despite identifying as a âpractitionerâ skilled in managing finances, Dorit acknowledged she hadnât been actively overseeing her financial affairs during her marriage.
Although Dorit described herself as a âpractitioner,â saying she knows how to handle her finances, she noted that she had not been doing so during her marriage.
âWhat Iâm struggling with is the clarity, because I was not running [the] finances, and I was sort of pushed out of the equation,â she explained.
According to Kyle, she was unaware of the financial strife in Dorit and PKâs marriage because Dorit âdoesnât talk about her financial situation at all.â
âI mean, I could kind of think things werenât amazing because I know that PK was very upfront with Dorit when they actually met, that I think he had filed for bankruptcy, and he was kind of getting back on his feet again. So one could definitely spectate,â she noted.
âBut if you know your manâs not on top of it and heâs filed bankruptcy before, are you not going to keep any eye on things?â Amanda replied.
During the episode, Amanda encouraged Dorit to focus on who she wanted to be and her intentions, which Boz felt wasnât concrete enough.
âWe over here with the woo woo and the wa wa and no practical advice âĤ Because itâs not just going to come because you set your intention to be. That requires action, so give the action steps,â she stated. âHow does she actually manage the finances? How does she get ahead of this curve?â
Further speaking of her thoughts on finances, as Doritâs hardships were addressed, Amanda said she felt strongly about women taking charge of their finances.Â
âYou have to know how much money you have and all the places you have it âĤ it can be uncomfortable for people, and it can bring up anxiety, and people can just delegate it, outsource it to the man and never look at it, but that never goes well,â she explained. âItâs 2025, and weâre responsible for the financial situation weâre in. Truly, you have to keep your eyes on it and have awareness around it.â
âI want women to be empowered around money. Itâs as much ours as the person weâre married to even if they made it, in my opinion. I just donât like people turning a blind eye to that part of their life,â she added.
Meanwhile, looking to her own finances, Kyle admitted sheâd often âturned a very blind eye.â
âMy American Express app, I still canât look at it. I would rather walk down Sunset Boulevard naked,â she admitted.
