Brandi Glanville has come to the defense of her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Dorit Kemsley, who is currently navigating her own divorce drama on the show. Glanville, 53, revealed that she underwent a vaginal rejuvenation surgery and put the $12,000 procedure on her ex-husband's credit card during her own split from Eddie Cibrian. She is urging fans to 'leave Dorit alone' as she goes through a difficult time.

Why it matters

Glanville's comments highlight the personal struggles that Housewives often face off-camera, including the emotional and financial tolls of divorce. Her defense of Dorit also speaks to the tight-knit nature of the Housewives community, where former cast members often rally around each other despite any past conflicts.

The details

In Thursday's RHOBH episode, Dorit Kemsley, 49, got into a heated argument with co-star Erika Jayne, 54, over Dorit's habit of keeping the group waiting. Erika criticized Dorit for prioritizing calls with her children over the group, leading to an expletive-filled exchange where the two women called each other 'c***s'. Glanville, who was on RHOBH from 2011 to 2015, took to social media to defend Dorit, saying she had also made questionable financial decisions during her own divorce, including putting a $12,000 vaginal rejuvenation surgery on her ex-husband's credit card.

  • In 2009, Brandi Glanville divorced her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.
  • In 2013, Glanville detailed her vaginal rejuvenation surgery in her memoir 'Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders'.
  • On April 2, 2026, the heated argument between Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne aired on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
