A Season of Feuds on RHOBH
No show stretches a single feud across an entire season quite like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But this episode delivers multiple fights, giving every cast member a role in the drama—except for Erika, who continues to fade into irrelevance.
From Family Moments to Party Chaos
The episode begins in Augusta, where Sutton finally hears “I love you” from her mother. It ends with Sutton storming out of Dorit’s Fourth of July party after yet another accusation of alcoholism. The cycle of drama remains unbroken.
Dorit’s party is a classic Housewives event: untouched food, extras who vanish when fights start, and zero actual celebration. The tension is palpable from the start.
Sutton and Dorit’s Escalating Feud
Sutton arrives at the party only to be awkwardly greeted by Dorit’s mother, as the host is nowhere in sight. When Dorit does appear, she jokingly tries to steal Sutton’s purse—though the joke lasts long enough to feel suspicious.
Their long-simmering disdain for each other has now exploded. Accusations of alcoholism, insults, and even hints of kleptomania are flying. Sutton is furious about being called a drunk again, insisting she doesn’t even drink while sleeping.
Her dramatic storm-out is textbook: a toddler tantrum-style exit where she lingers nearby, waiting for people to beg her back. The chaos only escalates in her absence.
Bozoma Enters the Chat
Bozoma arrives with no context, lectures the group for coddling Sutton, and then seems confused when she’s accused of being Dorit’s spokesperson. She clearly has her own issues with Sutton but is also aligning herself with Dorit, a strategic move in Housewives politics.
However, after 12 episodes of the same approach, the other ladies are tired of it. Garcelle challenges her:
“Where’s your spirit of sisterhood when you came over there and called us all rude?”
The irony is not lost on the group—this so-called “sisterhood” has involved accusations of alcoholism, hidden sexuality, and personality disorders. It’s not sisterhood; it’s Housewives warfare.
Kyle vs. Boz: A New Feud Emerges
Kyle is irritated after learning from Erika that Boz called her “unwelcoming and cold.” When confronted, Boz responds with corporate jargon:
“I am not someone who is led.”
Kyle challenges her, but Boz simply repeats herself, leaning into her image as the franchise’s new “truth teller.” The problem? Repeating a slogan doesn’t make it true—actions do.
This confrontation plays into Kyle’s long-standing frustration with being labeled inauthentic, a pattern dating back to her feuds with Garcelle and even Carlton (who accused Kyle of being mean in a dream).
Boz’s Power Play
Boz is riding Dorit’s wave to the reunion couch, now securing conflicts with Sutton, Kyle, and Garcelle. Unlike typical newbies who stay neutral, she’s actively shaping the season’s drama without burning all bridges.
Meanwhile, Erika is on the sidelines, eating hot dogs and saving her opinions for confessionals.
Kyle sees Boz’s moves as “gross” and lashes out at Dorit for constantly siding with her. But ultimately, Kyle realizes she needs to work for her diamond this season—and she’s doing it well.
Burying the Hatchet (For Now)
Kyle and Dorit step away from the group for a private conversation. They discuss their divorces in Dorit’s cluttered house, offering a rare moment of emotional depth. But let’s be real: they’re just burying their issues until the reunion.
The real excitement?
Next week, we get the fallout from Mauricio’s new romance and Jennifer Tilly’s debut as a Housewives host. Expect cultural clashes, Sutton’s class-shaming, and plenty more drama.
