Alex Baskin, executive producer of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' (RHOBH), has officially denied a rumor that cast member Dorit Kemsley is being put on pause for the upcoming Season 16. The rumor had circulated on social media and fan forums, suggesting that Kemsley's role would be reduced or that she would not return for the next season.
In a statement to multiple outlets, Baskin clarified that there is no truth to the speculation. 'There is no pause for Dorit,' he said, emphasizing that Kemsley remains a full-time cast member. The denial comes as production for Season 16 is reportedly underway, with the show continuing its long-running success on Bravo.
Dorit Kemsley has been a main cast member on RHOBH since Season 7, which premiered in 2016. She has been involved in several major storylines, including her marriage to Paul 'PK' Kemsley and her fashion ventures. The show's 15th season aired in late 2025, and Season 16 is expected to premiere later in 2026.
Representatives for Bravo and Kemsley have not commented further on the matter. The denial is consistent with the network's typical approach to addressing casting rumors, which often arise during production breaks.
