Kyle Richards: Pantene Poster Girl

[Avaleigh]

It's honestly not that surprising. Kim was never honest with herself about her addiction issues. She admitted to alcoholism, but she never admitted that she was a user and an addict as well. Her kids and family alluded to it, and it was confirmed on Dr. Phil with conversations with her kids that her issues weren't only about alcohol, but Kim continued to deny it, and never owned up to the fact that she's been abusing drugs for decades. Even when she's caught on camera she just lies, deflects, and yells at people until they move onto something else.

Regarding Kyle giving Kim yet another place to stay--obviously Kim isn't in a position to take care of herself and has constantly needed one of her sisters to bail her out of her many jams, so it's nice to know that they're still doing everything they can to help her. It's definitely disappointing though to learn that things don't seem to have improved for Kim.

I thought Kim had sort of settled into the role of grandmother and that this had given her a new reason to try to be more responsible, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. The instability is very sad to read about. On the show she was always moving and trying to make fresh starts, and that's still apparently the case. 

Hopefully her family will be able to get her to take her issues more seriously this time.

Addiction is horrible and I’m so sad that Kim is having issues again - she was doing so well, for quite a while. It breaks my heart, but she does need tough love.

[Pi237]

Most addicts don’t stay clean forever. You’re never ‘fixed.’ It’s a lifelong struggle. Not saying it’s not possible to never use again, but you can never rest on your laurels. I hope she gets back into treatment and continues when she gets out. At her age, you’ve only got so much fight back left in your body because things go downhill fast health wise after 50, especially if you’re still using and drinking.

It seems like they are not disputing that they took the loans, the rep for the Agency “insisted the company “faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including layoffs and cutbacks.”

 That’s ridiculous, they were totally taking advantage by taking loans meant for small businesses.

Every company took the loans, big and small, so The Agency is not disputing it (how could it?). And a lot of companies took advantage of the measure although they shouldn't. But, it seems this LLC company was created to do this. It has zero legal standing.

Concerning news on the Richards sisters and Kim's situation. 

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they showed up at a home Kyle owns in the L.A. area Wednesday night after "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star called them in hopes of getting Kim removed from the house.

 

It's sad. 

It seems the neighbors complained about Kim, and they called 911 in the past.

Why is Kyle suddenly upset (she said so, and Kathy Hilton, as well) Mauricio is dating someone (the lady from Dancing With The Stars was a promotional kind of thing only for that show), more than a year after she dumped him? He waited to see if she would change her mind, and she didn't.

Kyle Richards was “terrified” to have a “difficult” conversation about her evolving sexuality with her daughters — but the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star breathed a sigh of relief when she was met with ample support.

“It was the most difficult conversation I’ve ever had with my children and I was terrified to have that conversation. I just wanted to be as honest as I possibly could,” she tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” of opening up to Farrah, 36, Alexia, 28, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16. 

“There were stories out there about me and … this did make me wonder, you know, and question myself.”

If she had a conversation with them my bet is it was because the news kept hinting that Morgan was her girlfriend and she was having fun acting coy about it.  I do believe she probably didn't think of it herself until some gossip site suggested it! 😄

I admit I didn't read the whole article and that sounds a little more like it.  Now I'm wondering if she had any "difficult conversations" with her "best friends" on camera for her show.  Still not buying it 😃

[nicole21290]

From what I've read, the conversation with her daughters was off-camera but she talks about it with the ladies (specifically Garcelle, at least) during the first episode. 

Here are some more relevant quotes.

ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT

We do get this really emotional moment in the premiere where you talk about all the speculation and how it did make you maybe confront some feelings about your sexuality you had never explored before. Can you speak a little about why those emotions bubbled up. And even why you chose to go there this season.

I chose to go there this season because I knew there was so much gossip and people were so curious, and the truth was I did have that conversation with my daughters off-camera, of course. And I decided to share that with the ladies just because it is important to me. It's my journey. It's my story. To me, it was important to be honest with my daughters. I like to always lead by example, and they're seeing these stories too. So I sat down with them and I had this conversation with them, and I just said, 'You know, I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I am going through changes.'

And obviously I was raised a certain way and was like a robot, like this is what you're supposed to do and this is how you act, this is how you behave. I think it got - A couple of years ago, I just was like, you know what, I have my own thoughts and feelings. And if that means getting a tattoo at my age or whatever it may be, I'm going to live by my rules. And I would always want my daughters to come to me and have any difficult conversation they would need to have. And I would want them to know they're loved and supported, and that's exactly what they did with me. 

What is your message to people who feel entitled to know or want to pressure you into saying something about who you are that maybe you aren't or you're not ready to share with the world?

I think it's important for people to not speculate about peoples' sexuality until that person has themself. And I think that people need to give people some grace and they may be curious but, you know, it has to be when that person is ready and that's their journey. 

PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Richards says she began to reflect on how she was “raised a certain way with certain beliefs,” which led her to reframe the way she thought about various topics. “Regardless of whether it's getting a tattoo at my age or my sexuality, whatever it is, I was like, you know, I have my own thoughts and my own beliefs on this,” she shares.

Although she was nervous for how her daughters would respond to the conversation, the Halloween Kills actress says they couldn’t have received it better. “The reaction I was met with just blew me away with all four of my daughters, and I felt so loved and so supported,” she recalls. 

Noting that Wade is “not signed up to be on the show” and “doesn’t want to be part of the show,” Richards says opening up about her sexuality has to do with her own journey. “I addressed it on the show this season because I am an open book and I want to be as honest as I can about myself,” Richards tells PEOPLE. “It's not because it's anyone's business but because it actually is freeing to me to be honest and is sort of a therapy in a weird way doing the show and having to address these things.”

US WEEKLY

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is revealing whether fans will get any clarity on her friendship with Morgan Wade during season 14.

“What’s hard is that I can only speak on my behalf,” Richards, 55, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I’m not here to speak on anyone’s behalf but my own, especially someone who’s not signed up to do this show and doesn’t want to be spoken about on the show. So that puts me in a very different position.”

She continued, “So with that said, what I do address is about me personally and my journey and what I’m going through and where I am at and just not addressing her in particular, because it is just not fair to. Yeah, I have to let her speak for herself.”

REFINERY29

In the premiere, you talked about the media speculation about your sexuality because of your friendship with Morgan and how it caused you to “think twice.” What exactly did you mean by that?

There was so much speculation and I was kind of going, ‘What are they even talking about?’ This is not something that would have ever registered in my brain. You’re raised a certain way, or at least for me, just on autopilot, that this is how life is. And [the speculation] did kind of make me go, ‘Hmm, now I'm wondering about that.’ Going through this journey on my own, and while everyone was speculating, I wanted to take that opportunity to talk to my daughters and say, ‘Listen this is where I'm at and this is how I'm feeling and I want to share this with you and I'm just being honest because I want to lead by example and I hope that you know you can always come to me.’ They are my best friends and I was worried they were embarrassed by any speculation. They just want their mom to be happy and they know that they are so loved and they just want to love me back and want me to be happy. 

What do you wish people who are talking or gossiping about your sexuality to understand?

That it's actually not okay to talk about someone's sexuality until they are ready to speak about it themselves. That is something that you just don't do. It has to be when that person is ready and you have to give that person grace. In the LGBTQIA+ world, that's a very known thing. You give that person grace and let them figure it out on their own and don't comment on it until that person does, but that was just not what was happening. And I wasn't even understanding some of the headlines, and to see your name plastered with this stuff, I was like, ‘Wait, what is happening here?’

exactly!  Plus, Kyle has been dragging out this ‘is she bi/lesbian?’ For what?, years, now? She’s still not saying one way or the other while coyly dropping hints to keep people interested.  It’s her choice, of course, and no one is entitled to know, but this is the Queen of Tell the Truth! She caused Vanderpump and Denise to be season long targets of her ‘Truth’ campaigns, but when it comes to her life, it’s tears and think of my children, but wink/wink ‘look at me! Maybe I like girls?…….Are they still looking!?’

I mean, by "seasons" you mean one season? Last season.

From what I recall, Kathy was well-received, and Kyle's friendship with Morgan began back in 2021. She was wearing a matching ring with her at the Season 12 Reunion in September 2022, and widespread rumours about their relationship only started in June the following year. That's a LOT of time spent together with zero pay off. Even this year, the week that Mauricio moved out, Kyle was in Texas at a resort with Morgan while the latter filmed a movie, and then they went to Nashville for a couple of days as well. Kyle literally didn't post anything about Morgan being there, only her location. She flew to Canada to see a concert; again, no posting. She's now saying she isn't even going to be talking about Morgan on the show to respect her wishes to stay private and not discuss her own 'journey' or 'experiences', even though they still spend time together (even doing a safari in South Africa recently). 

Kyle keeps friendzoning Mau HARD in every single interview and I very much do not get the sense he's interested in things going back to the way they were, either.

I didn’t get the impression people felt bad for Kathy after Rinna. She acted a freak in Aspen. I don’t doubt Rinna made it sound dramatic when she retold the story. But I also don’t doubt that Kathy did what she was accused of. And then she didn’t appear again after that supposedly due to filming Paris’ show, where in the end as a viewer I walked away with a very poor view of Kathy. SHE is clearly the main issue in that family.

Almost like Kathy predicted the future (or twisted the reality of everyone around her).

I do remember a lot of people (fans) were on here side over Rinna's, that's for sure. Even people who thought Kathy did bad in Aspen thought Rinna was going after her way too hard.

It seems she started wondering after a lot was written on the media/social media. And I'm a little suspicious of using it as a storyline. She doesn't reveal anything in any of her interviews. She says she discussed it with her daughters. What did she discuss? Hopefully she will tell us on the season premiere tonight as she promised.

Almost like Kathy predicted the future (or twisted the reality of everyone around her). 

I think a lot of Kathie's fans who were gaslighted (I hate using this word) by the persona she presented on the show changed their opinion after they read the old expose about the Hiltons online, and watched Paris' show on Peacock (?).
