Filming for season 16 of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is underway, with two new stars confirmed to join: former “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor and actress Leah Remini. Now, following the news of the former’s casting, longtime “RHOBH” fan-favorite Dorit Kemsley is weighing in.
Notably, this comes over a year after Tutor publicly called out Kemsley for not paying her bills, to which the mom of two responded.
Following a longer-than-usual break between seasons, Kemsley was spotted in August 2026 filming for season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Days later, on August 19, Deadline confirmed that Tutor would be among the cast following Amanda Frances‘ exit after a single season.
Now, following the news, Kemsley has offered her reaction in a new interview via TMZ. The “RHOBH” star’s comments came as she was seen leaving court on August 26. In the clip, Kemsley was wearing an all-white outfit as she walked alongside what is assumed to be her legal team.
Once in the car, a reporter first asked how she felt at the time. Kemsley responded, “Good.” After that, they asked if she had met Tutor, and she responded, “No.” When asked if she was “excited” to work with the “Million Dollar Listing” alum, she stated, “Ask me in a couple of weeks.”
As mentioned, various outlets began reporting in August 2026 that Tutor had been cast for season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” After that, the famed reality star took to social media to confirm that the reports were indeed true and that she would be returning to Bravo.
She said in an Instagram post alongside a new photo of herself, “Well… the secret’s officially out. I’m joining the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ and I could not be more excited for this next chapter.”
From there, the mom-of-two discussed her ties to the city, saying, “Beverly Hills is home. I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life.” She then teased, “Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely. So what’s left to say but, Let’s f-cking go.”
Regarding Remini joining the show, she confirmed the news on August 26.
What Tracy Tutor Said About Dorit Kemsley
Tutor appeared on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” in March 2025. While on the show, the topic of her hairstylist, Chris Dylan, came up, with one of the hosts noting that he had appeared on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” because he had worked with Kemsley and some of the other cast members.
During the interview, Tutor stated that the hair stylist “used to do Dorit, but that’s over.” When asked why, she responded, “Because she doesn’t pay her bills.” Jeff Lewis then asked if Kemsley still owed Dylan money, to which she stated, “Yes, she does,” before confirming, “A significant amount.”
Then, Tutor was asked whether Dylan was the only contractor Kemsley had failed to pay. According to her, “No, I’m fairly certain, based on my knowledge, there are several people that haven’t been paid by her. In giving examples, Tutor said, “Including my stylist, who I think she just tallied up with, finally. My makeup artist.”
Tutor then said, “So, she’s got my people, yet she likes to throw shade and call me a tacky woman.” Toward the end of the clip, Tutor was asked if she would ever join “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” She responded, saying, “I’m asked that a lot. I mean, I would like to come for a few people.”
Dorit Clapped Back At Tracy Tutor
Kemsley appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” in March 2026, following Tutor’s interview on “Jeff Lewis Live”. During the broadcast, host Andy Cohen mentioned Tutor’s comments, first highlighting how the “Million Dollar Listing” alum had accused Kemsley of “stalking” her Instagram to scout for stylists.
Kemsley said, “It’s hysterical. That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, like wholeheartedly.” The “RHOBH” star added, “There was a lot of stuff that she said that, I don’t know, it came out of left field.”
After that, she responded to allegations that she failed to pay contractors. According to Kemsley, “In particular, her talking about Chris Dylan, a hairstylist that I worked with this year for the first time in eight years. … He sent an invoice overcharging me and charging me for a hotel that he’d already used my card to pay for.”
She continued, “I think he was just trying to bully this invoice through, not realizing that it goes through a process and my office flagged it. When they had written back, ‘This has already been paid,’ it was like, ‘Oh. I didn’t get away with that?’ Obviously, he needed to resend an invoice.”
Kemsley went on to call Tutor’s appearance on the radio show “attention-seeking” and accused her of “talking about something she knows nothing about.”
Dorit And PK Must Sell Their Home
The marital home shared between Dorit and Paul PK Kemsley has been in limbo for several months, with the couple being behind on mortgage payments. According to TMZ, the estranged couple was ordered on August 26 to sell the $7 million Encino mansion.
Per the judge’s order, Kemsley is allowed to remain in the home until November, with PK paying the mortgage. However, he will be reimbursed from the proceeds of the home sale. Additionally, Dorit will be responsible for all utilities for the house until she departs.
