Erika Jayne Weighs in on Teddi Mellencamp's Divorce: "These Things Aren't Easy..." (EXCLUSIVE)

RHOBH's Erika Jayne also shared her thoughts on Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley's respective separations.

As Teddi Mellencamp continues to face speculation about her and Edwin Arroyave's divorce, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum is getting support from current cast member and close friend Erika Jayne.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

When asked for her reaction to Teddi's breakup news, Erika told The Daily Dish on Nov. 14 that she felt "sadness." 

"I know that these things aren't easy, and I'm friends with Teddi," Erika added. "And I want nothing but the best for her and the children." 

Erika's remarks came ahead of RHOBH's upcoming 14th season, which will touch on two equally shocking splits: the one between Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky and the one between Dorit Kemsley and Paul “PK” Kemsley.

How does Erika Jayne feel about Kyle and Dorit's separations?

Erika may have accidentally predicted Dorit and PK's split at BravoCon 2022, but she insists it was indeed an accident, and she feels sad for the former couple. "When I was asked the shady question at BravoCon, I gave a shady answer off the top of my head with absolute zero knowledge or zero thought. It just happened to be this way. So I do not feel vindicated — as a matter of fact, I'm sad, because there are children involved in this separation," Erika told The Daily Dish, referring to Dorit and PK's two kids. "And it's just not pretty. You know, when you go to separate or you get a divorce, these are very emotional times. I mean, you saw me absolutely collapse and fall apart."

Acknowledging Kyle and Mauricio's ongoing separation, Erika added, "We've seen Kyle go through her stuff, and now you're going to see it happen to Dorit, and it's a hard thing to watch."

This is why she was intent on helping Kyle and Dorit sort out their issues with each other. As fans may recall, the pair's friendship has been on thin ice since RHOBH Season 13 ended. Now, more drama is set to play out between them on Season 14.

Does Erika side with Dorit Kemsley or Kyle Richards in their feud?

Erika explained to The Daily Dish that she spent much of RHOBH Season 14 attempting to play peacemaker between Dorit and Kyle. "I wanted them to be friends. I didn't want them to continuously turn on each other at the worst time in their lives," Erika said. "You know, they could have supported each other, because certainly PK and Mauricio are out having a great time. So, I wanted the asme thing for Dorit and Kyle, instead of them at each other's throats.

RHOBH Season 14 premieres on Tuesday, November 19 at 8/7c on Bravo. Stream episodes the next day on Peacock.
