Dorit Kemsley is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ newest Housewife and, from what we can tell from the season seven trailer, it looks like she’s going to be earning her keep by bringing the drama! Since everyone is dying to know more about Dorit, we have rounded up 6 things about the new Housewife that most people don’t know her:

6. Friend of Lisa Vanderpump

The newest reality TV star is a friend of veteran Housewife Lisa Vanderpump. She seems to have met Lisa and her husband Todd through her husband, Paul Kemsley, who is also English. There have been rumors floating around that the only reason that Lisa stayed was because Dorit was going to be joining the cast and she knew that Dorit would have her back. “She’s actually a friend of mine, so I like her,” Lisa told Entertainment Tonight. “Normally, they beat me up, so this one worked!”
