Kyle's said a few times now that when she's done with Housewives, she doesn't intend to do any other reality TV. We know the docuseries about Morgan has a release date and distributor ready to go, so I think that's the closest we'll get. Frankly, Morgan might write about her life in her songs, but she's expressed a great deal of stress and anxiety (at the time) and ambivalence and disinterest (after the fact) about appearing on RHOBH, and I don't foresee her wanting to do a whole show focusing on them. Her last relationship, one issue they had was that Morgan didn't even want to publicly acknowledge her GF on social media, and after August and the music video last year, Kyle hasn't even appeared on her Instagram outside a story or two. In terms of giving more to BBH, a large part of that is simply the timeline of filming. RHOBH was February to May (with pickups in July) and BBH was May to late July (with pickups as late as December). Once the separation became public, obviously a lot more could be shared - by them and their daughters. That show also has a narrower family focus without the interference of a larger cast whom Kyle doesn't feel able to confide in.

Kyle's talked a little bit about this. Recently, she went to AZ to see Morgan perform at a festival on a Sunday. Then Mamitas, which her family do business with, asked her to go on Saturday too. That was Portia's birthday. They'd had a dinner for her on the Friday, but when Kyle asked her if she wanted her to be around for the birthday itself, Portia was basically like, 'don't bother, I'll be with my friends all day anyway'. XD She did a live with Portia last week when they were vacationing in Cabo and she seemed very complimentary of her mom (even specifically about how she parents) and physically affectionate too.

Tina's one of her close inner circle and has been friends with Kyle for decades. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ5QVFnFcJ0lth1Qc9NEhupXIOm_igZ9MLBRPQ0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CqG5JE7vxjYDTus-ZRZVd2ASuJMa6n5o6Aerkk0/ You'll see her in a lot of group shots - Morgan's sitting on her lap in this one from Faye, for example. https://www.instagram.com/p/C09kqh9pASJ/ And you'll see her in the comments on Morgan's mom's posts, etc. They're all close. The paparazzi photos of Kyle and Morgan in Paris in September 2023 are what I'm referring to - some of them Tina also appeared in (as below - the ones published are ones where she's not as visible). She also posted at the time about seeing Morgan's concert and spending time with them with Michael Coste as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxYfN72pvoBTwgG-PO9UH693HnCVBdFNt5jkg00/

Ha! Kyle and her close group of friends went to Mexico for her birthday on vacation, same as in 2023. I don't know who all of them are and you certainly can't tell from the set of paparazzi shots, but there's a single frame in her reel about the vacation matching the shirt Morgan's wearing in these pics. Teddi, Jenn, Jana and Tina are the regulars I'm most familiar with, and they're part of her inner circle. You'd recognise Jenn from party planner/friend role in the celebration of life episode this past season amongst other episodes, but she also appears in all her Kyle's Amazon Lives off-camera and helps in a sort of unofficial assistant role sometimes.

Vanity Fair published an article about the timing. It obviously plays a HUGE part in what was shared. RHOBH started filming in February and ended at the end of May. BBH started during May and ended at the end of July. They both had pick ups, RHOBH in July when the news broke but BBH did pick ups as late as December 2023.

The whole 'they never post photos of our other friends with us!' nonsense is literally that - nonsense. It has happened once or twice, most notably when Tina was cropped from some photos in Paris. However, the VAST majority of times they get papped, they're on their own and absolutely not with other friends. I recently acquired a whole set of photos from the Mexico vacation earlier this year (see attached images), and they're standing side by side in every single one. After they took a group shot together, they literally walked aways away and did their own photo together, just the two of them with someone to capture it, lol. I got another set of photos where they're clearly both - alone - unpacking luggage from Kyle's car at a place she has in Malibu. Like even on BBH now, Mau is saying out loud that he doesn't know exactly what their relationship is beyond them spending a lot of time together and having a 'connection' and has never straight up asked because he doesn't want to put 'extra pressure' on her and if it's working for her, good.

She spent a solid year posting flame emojis and heart eyes whenever Morgan posted a selfie where she was working out and/or wearing nothing but a sports bra and sweats, so yeah, no surprises there, lol...

In their Amazon Live, she had stated this, but said she eventually went on YouTube and would watch compilations like 'Kyle Richards get dragged for fifteen minutes'. Also said she did see the Season 12 Reunion and found it 'very sad' and didn't want to watch the show because it would be difficult having known Kyle IRL. Rolling Stone ranked her album the top country/Americana record of 2021. So yeah, there is critical acclaim. That's not a lie.

People are soooo rarely all good or bad. She speaks a lot about Paris as an even younger child. "So we went [to New York] and I had a little twin bed in your room with the crib, and you were just the cutest thing. And because I was the youngest and didn't have a little sister, to me, that was really exciting because now there was someone younger than me, there was a baby in the family, so I wouldn't, I didn't have to be the baby. And I know I've told you this before and I've shared this story before, but I would sneak in your crib and pull you out and pull you in the bed with me, and I would cry because I loved you so much. And I was like, even now, I'm like, why was I twelve years old crying because I love this baby so much? It was - You were just so sweet and so cute, and I just was obsessed with you. Your mom was like, she wasn't one of those moms who was like, don't touch the baby. So I was changing diapers, making bottles, laying with you, and we really bonded since you were an infant."

Fear was definitely a big part of it. She was already shy (one of the reasons Kathy wanted her acting, she says) and then more fear on top of that. She also said she slept in a bed with her mom until fifteen because she was scared from the horror movies she did which is WILD. This is the full quote, by the way: "I think, being a single mom and raising daughters, it was really important for her to teach us not to be afraid or fearful, whatever that may be, you know. I mean we were women who all lived alone in our house, you know, or my grandma, your great grandmother, lived with us growing up, and so it was her, grandma and your mom, Kim and me, and she just didn't ever want us to be afraid. So she really wanted us to be brave. That was a really big thing for her. I think that's really formed who I am today and not always in the best way, you know. Like I think I have to be tough all the time, otherwise you're weak. And sometimes I'm like, it's okay to be weak, sometimes it's okay to need help. But I can remember I was so afraid of bees because you know, I'm severely allergic to them. And when she would see me be afraid, it bothered her because she wanted me to be strong and tough. So she would grab the bee and literally grab with her hand, squish it like - And she'd be like, don't ever be afraid. I'm like now scared of you. You're actually the most scariest thing I've ever seen, talking to me and squeezing in your hand like that. She thought she was helping me, but I think she was traumatizing me a little bit."

An interview she did with Paris on her podcast was published yesterday, and I was actually surprised at how quickly Kyle started talking about her mother in a way that absolutely wasn't just positive. Paris was raving about her grandmother throughout and Kyle pointed out that she was much tougher with her daughters, far less sweet and kind. She also told a story later about how scared she was of bees because of her allergy and how Big Kathy would basically hold one in her hand right in Kyle's face and, laughingly, then "I was more scared of HER." Also made a point of saying how she felt the need to give her daughters structure because she didn't have that growing up.

Kyle's actually been extremely explicit in her denials - denying both Ozempic and several other drugs by name, and also explicitly saying she hasn't taken any weight loss drugs, period.

RHOBH ended filming about a month prior to the news of the separation coming out. BBH was still filming at that time, and we know the cameras were already in Aspen for that reason when the news broke, so that's why we'll have a much more immediate scene regarding the split. Plus more open scenes after the fact. The kids now knew and the media too. That allows for more 'honesty', especially because Kyle has said the news breaking forced them to actually confront it more in their own minds too, so to speak. She's explained that they weren't friend friends. Annemarie had bought a place through The Agency and ended up attending a party of theirs, as per both of them. That's where she and Kyle met. That was it. The extent of their friendship, IIRC. Kyle suggested her for the gig, but they definitely weren't actual friends.

She's into them sufficiently to follow Instagram accounts by various tattooists (seven alone that have 'tattoo' in their name, likely others) and one inspiration account, whether that's because she likes their art, wants something similar, or she's been there with Morgan, who knows. When she was talking on the aftershow with Erika about her 'I'd date a woman' moment, she directly compared it to 'well, who thought I'd ever get tattoos!' and seems to relate both things to starting from scratch and almost ridding herself of a lot of the preconceptions and inbuilt This Is What My Life Should Be adages from growing up, which was reaffirmed at the reunion when talking about the same subject matter (dating women). But yes in regards to Big Kathy. Little Kathy said her mom would have had seven eight (? can't recall the number) kangaroos had she known (that she got a tattoo with Morgan/Kyle), lol.

Before the media really mentioned her name in connection with Kyle, she'd already opened for Turnpike Troubadours, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Brooks & Dunn, Ashley McBryde, Jason Isbell, American Aquarium, etc, plus had done plenty of high profile festival gigs. Kyle doesn't have the connections or ability to get those for her anyway, even if the timing were different, lol. Even this Alanis tour she's going on, the first time she opened a show for her was in 2022 - much earlier in her and Kyle's friendship. She has a couple if isolated shows in March, her own headlining gigs mid-April through mid-May, and then the Alanis/Joan Jett tour in June through August. Definitely not. Kyle has been extremely clear that she's not sober in that sense, she didn't have a drinking 'problem'. Certainly she didn't go to rehab or do AA. Morgan had been sober for years by the time they met. Kyle also didn't stop drinking until at least nine or so months after she first started DMing with Morgan. They met in the person the first time in February 2022 and she stopped drinking in mid-July 2022. Kyle is a country music fan and has talked about it before. The reason she heard Morgan was because she was listening to The Highway, which is a SiriusXM country music station. Maren Morris even talked about texting with her (and knowing Morgan) when she was on WWHL not that long ago.
