KJ Dillard Says Hospitalization Led to BPD Diagnosis and Dara Breakup

His treatment shifted his priorities, leaving his relationship with Dara publicly unclear.

Overview

  • KJ Dillard told Carl Radke on Tuesday that he self-harmed, was hospitalized and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder during treatment.
  • He said Dara Levitan ended their relationship while he was in recovery and that castmate Mia Calabrese told Dara to break up with him so he could focus on getting well.
  • Dillard described a post‑show work slowdown that left him in a dire financial spot and briefly homeless while staying with castmates Ciara Miller and Dara Levitan.
  • A series of social‑media unfollows, deleted photos and cryptic posts stoked breakup rumors, but a recent music video featuring Dara complicated the public picture by mixing personal imagery with promotion.
  • Dillard says daily therapy and medication have stabilized him and that his recovery reshaped his priorities, a change that could affect how the couple and other castmembers present their relationship on Bravo and in future projects.
