I think it took being at my lowest, she says about finding her voice again.
Below, Kemsley gets candid about her cast fallouts, reunion regret, and texting with an Oscar winner.
Its ironic how your relationship with Kyle is broken right now since youre going through similar separations.
Whats your biggest gripe with her?
I felt like a friendship I cherished slowly started to feel [unreciprocated].
I let things be, but the distance between us just grew.
Then months later, I get a text where she talks about how close we are.
That text caused more tension when you showed it at the reunion.
Do you regret that?
I stand by it.
There was no privileged information she had shared in confidence.
Erika, whos a good friend to us both, confirmed she wouldve felt the same way.
In a recent episode, you told Camille that she was desperate for a moment.
Is there anyone else like Camille who you think is also desperate?
She loves to comment on Twitter about an episode.
Its like, Dont you have a life?
I mean, is she still married?
Shes not the first person to accuse you of holding up the group because youre taking photos.
Do you plead guilty to that?
If guilty is the word, well, of course.
Many have followed in my footsteps, FYI.
I led the charge.
If you spend that much time, effort, and money to look great, take pictures.
Its like when someones looking for something because they dont really have much.
Which reunion moment are you most proud of so far?
Oh, how are you going to go into it?
Just like I went into right now.
On the contrary, which moment are you least proud of?
Last reunion, I had a wardrobe malfunction, and it was stressing me out.
Its so frivolous and ridiculous, but the zipper ripped, which kept us waiting an hour.
Then I was sitting on the wrong side, and I couldnt get it out of my mind.
So I didnt go in with the right frame of mind.
There was a lot of I wish I had said that, and thats the worst feeling.
Of course, your biggest regret has to do with fashion.
On that note, who has the best confessional looks?
Erika has great ones.
What is your favorite Bravo one-liner?
I thought it was really great, theso chic with Jamie Lee Curtis.
After that, she went on to win an Oscar.
She threw it back at me.
