While discussing a recent disagreement with Dorit, 49, at Rachel Zoe‘s event, where she attempted to mediate a conversation between Dorit and Kyle Richards, 57, Sutton shared her thoughts on Jeff Lewis‘ radio show. Though she refrained from naming specific individuals, she hinted at who might not fit in the show’s future.
“Well, I’m just not gonna name names. I’m not gonna do that,” Sutton, 54, commented during the April 2 broadcast of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.
However, she subtly criticized Dorit by referring to her as “challenging,” alluding to her frequent tardiness.
Then, signaling Dorit’s ongoing lateness, Sutton described her castmate as “challenging.”
“I find one personality in particular challenging, not because she’s late all the time. Just because … It’s just difficult for me. That’s just a personality thing for me,” she explained.
Although Jeff, 56, said he felt Dorit was “incredibly unlikeable” this season, his co-host praised her bilingual skills, and Sutton agreed, offering additional compliments.
“That girl can speak some Italian. She’s beautiful, and I think she’s very smart, and I love when she speaks Italian,” she concluded.
@just_bookin_around I would imagine with how late Dorit always is, she’s so difficult to work with. 📸: The Daily Beast 🎧: Jeff Lewis Live, 4/2/2026 #fyp #bravotv #bravo #peacock #rhobh ♬ original sound – Just Bookin’ Around
Meanwhile, on the April 9 episode of the RHOBH: After Show, Sutton said that when it came to her spat with Dorit on Thursday’s episode, she had good intentions.
“I was really trying to not be confrontational, but come from a very sincere, calm place … I was really making an effort … I wanted a friendship with Dorit, truly. So, I felt like if I was honest with my feelings in that moment, that it would help,” she explained. “[But] Dorit did not want to leave her conversation with this woman to speak to me, and she was angry about it. She didn’t want to deal with me, which was showing me exactly that she doesn’t want to have a real friendship with me.”
“Why would you be that angry?” she asked. “She was not having it … [And] it was upsetting for me, and that’s okay.”
After Dorit was seen shutting Sutton down, which Kyle said she “would not have [done] to [Bozoma ‘Boz’ Saint John],” Dorit revealed where she was coming from.
“She came on the dance floor. I was like, having fun. And Sutton comes over. I was like, ‘Oh my God, what the f*ck?’” she recalled. “You know what she told me she was mad at? That I turned my body and was directing it to Rachel. It was so f*cking ridiculous, and she wanted an apology. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m not even going to challenge [her].’ I was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’”
“The problem is, I know what she’s doing. I know it. So, it’s like, really? I’m supposed to play along?” Dorit added. “[She was] trying to grasp at straws.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
