Kyle Richards plans to set the record straight on two situations she has been dealing with on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” this season.
During an Amazon Livestream on February 18, the veteran Bravo star said she will clarify two storylines that questioned her character on her 14th season of the Bravo reality show. Richards shared that she feels that her cast mates have unfairly targeted her this season. “I definitely feel ambushed this year,” Richards told her fans on Amazon.
In addition to Richards, the 14th season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” stars Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John. Jennifer Tilly and Richards’ sister Kathy Hilton appear as “friends of” the cast this season.
Kyle Richards Will Show Her Text ’Receipts’ at the Reunion
During filming for RHOBH season 14, Richards was questioned for having a text message exchange with Kemsley’s estranged husband, PK. She long stated that she simply shared “memes and jokes” with the English businessman, but Kemsley and the rest of the cast felt Richards broke girl code with the communication. Kemsley also accused Richards of not reaching out to her after she announced her separation from PK in May 2024.
Richards maintained that she reached out to both Dorit and PK after the split announcement.
“I said already that I told everybody I texted PK and Dorit when they announced their separation,” Richards said on her Amazon Live. “No one mentions that that text to PK was from the separation when it was announced, and nobody says that I texted Dorit. Intentionally, of course. To try and make me look like an [expletive].”
Richards also referenced a RHOBH season 14 episode in which Kemsley was invited to Kathy Hilton’s house and said it “funny how Kyle’s sister reaches out to see how I’m doing, and Kyle doesn’t.”
On Amazon, Richards looked directly into the camera with a message to Kemsley: “I sent you the text. I have it in my phone. And don’t think I won’t be showing my receipts at the reunion.”
“Once again just to intentionally try and make me look bad,” Richards added. “This is why reality television is extremely frustrating sometimes. These women are like schoolgirls this season. Like, why are you starting problems over something that is so dumb? The fact that I have been going through this because of a text to somebody who announced a divorce? It’s embarrassing.”
Kyle Richards Revealed Another Thing She Will Address at the Reunion
Richards teased that another thing that will be addressed at the reunion is Bozoma Saint John’s claims that she was “cold” to her. Saint John made the comment during a luncheon at Hilton’s house when Richards was out of town.
“I really like Boz,” Richards said on her livestream, noting that their early relationship may have been “tainted” because the RHOBH newcomer instantly bonded with Kemsley.
“I literally went and knocked on her door at Oceanside and went in her room and said ‘I just want you to know how happy I am you’re part of the show, I think you’re amazing.’ And we had this whole nice conversation. One of our producers was there, by the way, and heard this whole thing. And then I said ‘Do you have any questions? You’re doing so great, just be yourself.’ No, I was always welcoming.”
“They’re coming for me guys. I think I know why. But I’ll let you come up with your own reasons,” Richards added,
On the RHOBH After Show on February 18, Saint John said she stood by her comment that Richards was cold. “I think that Kyle was cold to me,” Saint John reiterated on the aftershow. “I don’t I don’t take that back at all. Now why was she cold, now we could talk about that. But the fact that she was cold? No, that’s true.”
Saint John noted that Richards may have been distant because she was going through her own situation and she didn’t want to open up to a newcomer in the group. “Fine, easy enough explanation,” she said. “But then don’t get [mad] because I said you were cold. That’s the truth.”
“My opinion on how Kyle is behaving is my opinion and no one can tell me that’s wrong,” Saint John added.
