RHOBH Drama Reignites: Kyle Richards Talks Garcelle Rift, Teddi’s Future & Mauricio’s Return!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies are currently filming season 15. Kyle Richards is back despite having a difficult time with the ladies this year. Recently, she opened up about her relationship with Garcelle Beauvais, whether fans can expect to see Teddi Mellencamp on the show, and more.

Filming for season 15 has been ongoing for several weeks now, and fans can expect to see a couple of new faces. This includes Rachel Zoe and Christine Blackman. 

Kyle recently sat down for one of her Amazon Live sessions. As usual, she showcased products from the website that she uses, and she also took questions from fans.

One person asked if she’s spoken to Garcelle lately, and Kyle responded, “I tried. You know, I tried.”

“So, she doesn’t… I don’t know. I don’t even know what I did,” she added. “You know, I don’t know. Whatever friendship I was happy about, I guess she didn’t feel the same. So, that’s that.”

Someone else asked if it had been weird not to film with Garcelle for the upcoming season. The RHOBH OG said, “Not really. I mean it’s just not. It’s not, and that’s being shady; it’s just not.”

As fans know, Kyle and Teddi are great friends, and Kyle has been with Teddi throughout her health journey. Someone on the stream asked if Teddi would be on the upcoming season of RHOBH.

She answered, “I don’t know. As of right now, no. She’s still working on getting stronger, and I don’t think that she’s up for showing up yet. Who knows, though?”

Naturally, fans watching the stream wanted updates on filming. This is especially the case as photos of the cast have emerged online. According to Kyle, “It is going… well, if any of you guys saw my Instagram, I was sleeping three hours a day, and it said my stress level was up to here [she raised her hand above her head to demonstrate how stressed she had become].”

“I mean, it’s just so funny,” Kyle continued. “My executive producer sent me a text and said, ‘You should just take that ring off for a while.’ I thought that was funny, and I’m like, ‘Nope, I want to be reminded.'” Regarding the ring, Kyle is referring to an Oura Smart Ring, which can monitor stress levels. She then said that she slept eight and a half hours the first night she wasn’t filming. 

Kyle also reflected on how stressful season 14 of RHOBH was for her and how she’s now in a better mental space. This came after a fan asked if she had been in the hot seat now that they’re filming again. She said, “I always feel like I’m in the hot seat, but I just have been the last few years, and I’m in a very different place than I was last year. I was very… I don’t know how else to put it other than depressed.”

She continued, “I was struggling last year. I mean, there were a lot of good things going on in my life last year, too, but I was going through a hard time, so I wasn’t prepared for everyone coming at me. But I’m a lot stronger this year. I feel good. So I can handle things a lot better.” Hinting at a dramatic season, she said, “But I’m not the only one in the hot seat.” 

Another fan asked Kyle if Mauricio Umansky would be filming with her for season 15 of RHOBH. She said, “He has.”
