Kathy Hilton Gets Real About Why She Joined RHOBH: “It Was Time to Tell My Story”

In a refreshingly honest sit-down with Call Her Daddy, Kathy Hilton finally opened up about what led her to join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — and it wasn’t just family pressure or fame.

“I had been asked for years,” Hilton confessed. “But I didn’t feel like the timing was right. I was raising my children, running businesses, and honestly… I didn’t want to be misunderstood.”

But something changed. Kathy revealed that after watching years of drama unfold — often involving her sisters Kyle Richards and Kim Richards — she felt the urge to offer her own voice to the franchise. “There’s always two sides to every story,” she said. “And I thought, maybe it’s time the world hears mine.”

The fan-favorite also admitted that seeing how RHOBH portrayed her family over the years played a huge role in her decision. “It wasn’t about revenge,” she clarified. “It was about setting the record straight — with class.”

Kathy’s interview quickly went viral, with fans praising her vulnerability and poise. As Bravo stirs rumors about her potential full-time return, one thing is clear: Kathy Hilton didn’t just join RHOBH for the glitz. She joined to reclaim her narrative.
