“Real Housewives of Orange County” personality Tamra Judge shared her thoughts about “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley and her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley’s decision to release a statement about rumors regarding their relationship on October 25.
While recording the October 26 episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave‘s podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” Judge referenced reports began circulating the Kemsleys had separated after eight years of marriage the day RHOBH season 13 premiered.
“The timing was very suspicious, it happened on the night of the premiere,” said Judge.
Judge noted that the couple “quickly” dispelled the rumors. She also stated she does not typically address rumors.
“It’s so weird that they put out a statement so quickly. All of the freaking fake news that goes out there about me, I never — rarely will I go, ‘I’m going to put out a statement.’ But whatever,” said Judge.

Erika Jayne Spoke About Her BravoCon 2022 Comment in an August 2023 Interview
During an appearance at the 2022 BravoCon, RHOBH star Erika Jayne was implored to share which Bravo couple she thought would end their relationship next. She initially said she would like to not share a response to the question. However, Jayne soon announced she thought the Kemsleys would split up.
In the premiere episode of RHOBH season 13, Dorit Kemsley questioned Jayne about her comment. The mother of two stated she believed the “Pretty Mess” singer’s remark was “mean spirited and deeply hurtful.” Jayne responded that she felt the need to answer the question because she is “a showman.” Kemsley then stated that she believed Jayne “delivered that answer like someone who really wanted that attention.”
While recording an August 2023 episode of “Two Ts In A Pod,” Jayne stated that she did not know the Kemsleys were going through problems in their marriage. She said if she had been aware of their issues, she would have not said their names in response to the BravoCon question.
“I didn’t know. And then she told me. And Dorit also revealed some other things that happened to her, you know, post-home invasion [in October 2021] that are pretty heavy,” stated the RHOBH star.
Jayne also stated she immediately texted Dorit Kemsley about her BravoCon comment. According to the “Pretty Mess” singer, her castmate did not reply to her apology text.

And I just don’t know why throw something like that out there. And she later said she was joking but like jokes are supposed to be funny. What’s funny about that?” said Richards.
