Diamonds are a girl's best friend, perhaps because they don't text their friends' exes.
Kyle Richards finally revealed the true nature of her texting relationship with Dorit Kemsley's estranged husband Paul "PK" Kemsley during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Jan. 14 episode—and their costars were left in shock.
Finally fed up with Dorit accusing her of being a bad friend amid her ongoing breakup, Kyle attempted to put the rumors to rest by showing her last texting exchange with PK on camera during a girls night out with Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne.
"The fact that she's trying to make it seem like I'm anything inappropriate is gross," the Halloween Ends actress ranted to the trio, "and I'm not gonna get to a point in my life where I am having to pull out my phone and s--t because I am an adult and that's a f--king joke."
But despite previously insisting that her "friendship with PK is memes and jokes," Kyle's receipts told a different story.
According to footage of her iPhone, Kyle's last message to the newly single businessman read, "I know you have a lot of friends and I am also one and here if you need me. I have never repeated anything you have shared with me and never would. (Meaning you can trust me always.)"
Kyle added, "Will keep sending memes and won't forget laughing emojis."
The proof caught Kyle's costars off guard.
"Wait a minute," Sutton reacted in a confessional. "This is not just about memes and jokes. This is serious."
As Garcelle added in her own confessional, "So they have shared things! About Dorit or relationship or whatever that no one else knows about."

The next day, Garcelle met up with Bozoma Saint John and recounted Kyle's revelation.
"Last night, Kyle read the text," the Coming to America actress shared. "I'm paraphrasing, but said something like, 'I won't say anything I never have.' That part."
"Oh, hell no!" she reacted. "I don't understand. I can't compute."
In a confessional, Bozoma elaborated on her shock, "So, Kyle doesn't know the definition of friendship and she doesn't know the definition of ain't nothing going on. Because, clearly, there's something going on. This is proof of that. She is actively talking to PK in a way that is not superficial. That's not what she told me. So she lied."
