Bozoma Saint John and Dorit Kemsley: A Fast-Budding Friendship on RHOBH
Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, the latest addition to the high-stakes world of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, has made quite the splash since stepping into her new role. In an exclusive sit-down with PEOPLE, the marketing mogul revealed that her bond with Dorit Kemsley surprised her with its instant chemistry. They first clicked at Sutton Stracke’s Surrealism party in the season 14 opener, and boy, did they hit it off! “I was surprised by how quickly we bonded only because it’s hard to make friends as an adult,” said the 48-year-old entrepreneur.
Navigating the cutthroat waters of corporate America, Boz has experienced firsthand how difficult it is to form friendships in the workplace, especially when you’re at the top of the food chain. “Your circle of potential friendships becomes very small,” she mused, referencing her tenure at high-profile companies, including Netflix. So, it was refreshing for her to find an authentic connection with Dorit, who herself has weathered the storm of friendship storms on the show. Their camaraderie blossomed outside of filming as well. Dorit even made the trip to New York City for Boz’s birthday, proving this friendship isn’t just for the cameras.
But of course, no reality show friendship is without its drama. In the latest episode, tensions rise when Garcelle Beauvais confronts Boz, accusing her of acting as “Dorit’s spokesperson.” But rather than falling into the petty trap, Boz’s response was savvy—she’s looking to nurture connections based on mutual interests, not just existing rivalries. She elaborated, saying, “I want to know Kyle for those reasons and not because she had conflict with Dorit.”
As the season unfolds, Boz remains optimistic about forging relationships with her new castmates, despite being the fresh face in the group. She’s got her sights not just set on friendship but on a healthier lifestyle, too—forming a partnership with Violife, a non-dairy brand, as part of her health journey. With new episodes airing every Tuesday, fans can watch this intriguing dynamic develop, especially with the reunion lurking around the corner—a perfect set-up for all kinds of drama!
