Based on the footage shown, Eden Sassoon contributed nothing valuable to this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season. To be fair, this was due to some major misdirection from Lisa Rinna, but she definitely didn’t handle any of that well. I am not going to belabor that whole thing though. To paraphrase Erika Jayne, Eden is (finally) saying “important shit instead of boring shit.”
I can’t verify if this shit is accurate, but I can say that Eden hasn’t learned a lesson when it comes to diagnosing people with substance abuse issues. This time she’s calling out Dorit Kemsley and it’s not for (allegedly) doing cocaine in the bathroom in the middle of a dinner party.

Eden’s presence on this season has been odd for many reasons. One weird aspect is that she didn’t appear until episode five, which felt random since the (beyond annoying) Pantygate story line was already in full swing.
In an interview with Heather McDonald on her Juicy Scoop podcast, Eden revealed, “They called me five weeks into the show,” which I get since the season was pretty boring at that point. But it felt unnatural for her to randomly show up and start accusing people of enabling addiction. It didn’t get much better, but I don’t blame production for adding another cast member to the mix.
After talking about her background and blah, blah, blah, Eden had a lot to say about Dorit, who she barely seemed to interact with all season, but apparently that was not the case. Dorit told Heather, “They didn’t show our interaction. When we were together, we went shopping, we went hiking, we did things. We really had this back and forth fun humor. They didn’t show it.”
It was probably for the best. It’s already tough enough to watch most scenes with Eden or Dorit, seeing the two of them together one-on-one would be way too much to handle, especially if they get along so well.
Or maybe it’s because they “used to” get along so well since Eden confessed, “I think she’s got a couple problems because I’m honest and I say things.” After some prodding from Heather, she explained, “It was about drinking.” That seems so random since Dorit is so composed, but then again, accusing people of abusing alcohol and/or drugs is not new to Eden.
Eden shared, “She’s upset because I said somewhere that she drinks too much.”

Supposedly, Eden told Dorit, “Every time I’m with you, you drink and you can’t remember the next day. I am a recovering alcoholic and did the same thing, so what do you want me to say? If you don’t want me to say you drink too much, then don’t drink too much.” Damn. I would love to know what Dorit thinks of this one. Dorit, if you’re reading this, please slide into my DMs if you want to talk shit about Eden defend yourself against these accusations.
Unfortunately, none of these issues between Eden and Dorit made it into any episodes this season, but I’ll never forget Eden flipping out at Lisa Rinna during the finale episode. Clearly, it’s not all good between the two RHOBH troublemakers since Eden shared her thoughts about Rinna: “You’re full of shit. You’re fake and you’re lying.” She admitted, “I was thinking you were liking me or loving me.” Eden concluded, “It was so hurtful. It took me months to get over. I wrote her finally after the reunion.”
I would never get over this. Not only did Rinna use Eden to do her dirty work, but Eden didn’t get any story line of her own this year. If Eden does not come back next year, I would definitely blame Rinna if I were her.
Another situation where I found myself siding with Eden was when she bought a friendship ring for Erika Girardi in Hong Kong. It was a little out of bounds for the extent of their friendship, but she was just trying to be nice and cheer up Erika after that rough night of turning on her fan club president Eileen Davidson. Yes, it was a little weird for Eden to do, but she was coming from a genuine place and Erika shit on the gesture.
Normally, I live for Erika Jayne, but the way she treated Eden was not nice. Eden recalled, “I was shocked. First of all, my father didn’t raise me like that? Who acts like that? Then she goes up to all the other girls and they’re in on it? I’m like ‘whoa.'” This doesn’t happen very often, but I totally agree with Eden on this one. Erika was out of line and owes Eden an apology if she hasn’t said sorry already. There was no reason to make fun of Eden for purchasing a gift.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK DORIT DRINKS TOO MUCH? IS RINNA IS “FAKE” & “FULL OF SHIT’? WAS ERIKA’S REACTION TO THE FRIENDSHIP RING JUSTIFIED? OR WAS IT UNKIND?
