Kyle Richards: Pantene Poster Girl

Yes, it was a holiday movie on Peacock. The plot actually had nothing to do with the Real Housewives, though the movie did have a number of cameos from the housewives - Sonja Morgan, Karen Huger, Cynthia Bailey, etc. 

But the plot was actually a standard holiday movie plot - Kyle and Betsy Brandt played best friends who are known for winning their town's (which was called North Pole) holiday decorating contest.  They get into a fight, and the movie is about their feud. (There is a subplot involving their kids - a son and a daughter - getting involved with each other and another subplot with a writer who is in town covering the contest, which is where the "Real Housewives of the North Pole" comes from). By the end of the movie, everyone has made up and holiday joy is spread.

While Kyle had a vast collection of acting roles as a child and teen, most people that grew up in that era don't recall her...in comparison to Kim.  I've always been curious how Kim had the attention and Kyle not so much.  Is it due to timing, charisma, types of roles?

Definitely charisma. Poor boring goldfish Kyle just doesn't have it in her. She is a shallow jealous person and it shows. So sad to watch how she desperately tries to copy everyone she envies – her sisters, Bethenny Frankel’s buzzwords, Rinna's highkicks, Dorit's glam. And of course LVP with her dogs, garden swing, pink lighting, having a favorite younger girlfriend to help her fight her battles, a tagline about playing chess and being a queen. Poor, poor boring plane Kyle.

Watching one of the early years right now — I wasn’t following BH then — and I am amazed at Kyle’s talent in finding herself in the middle of beefs between other housewives. 

This particular season has Brandi vs. Adrienne, with Mauricio seeing fit to add his two cents. Earlier, it was Brandi vs. Faye Resnick, at Kyle’s dinner party.

You mean, the Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick.

God season 1 Camille was TV gold. I didn't realize what a treasure she was at the time.

Kyle really wanted to make Faye happen, but she was the fetch of potential housewives.

I've cut RHBH from my viewing schedule but I'm still rewatching the older seasons. S6 is airing today and holy balls Kyle is a duplicitous little demon. I know she's never had an issue carrying production's water but her wide-eyed faux innocence is too much. She repeatedly brings up Yolanda's kids not having lyme, then is quiet as a mouse when Yolanda tries to throw LVP under the bus for it. She repeatedly dangles MCFR in front of Kathryn Edwards (who has a legitimate beef with Resnick), then feigns outrage when Kathryn states why she has an issue with Faye. Not to mention continuing to bring up Kim's problems to garner sympathy for herself, then act like people are prying when they respond. 

I know this is all to be followed with the pin the tail on the Vanderpump saga, where everyone constantly shifts their stories in order to blame LVP for something.

I know the long-standing rumor is that Kyle is an uncredited producer with some sort of iron-clad contract. I've always thought it was b.s. because Kyle isn't that savvy and I think there would have been a more substantiated leak by now. But frankly it's the only explanation I have for people still being willing to talk to her.

Kyle and Mauricio sell Aspen house

Though the show hasn’t even aired yet, whatever wild and crazy drama supposedly went down between the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” gals on that cast trip to Kyle Richards’ Aspen vacation home earlier this year must have been pretty darn bad.

Things were seemingly so off-the-charts terrible, in fact, the reality show star and her luxury real estate broker husband Mauricio Umansky, founder and CEO of The Agency, have officially opted to offload the place after nearly six years of ownership, asking $9.75 million.

“Aspen will never be the same,” Richards told Entertainment Tonight. “Honestly, that is my little happy place and people don’t know that we live there part-time. When I went back this last time, I took some sage with me. There was a Ouija board involved. Things really got out of control, let me tell you.”

I don't think it has to do with the incident like Kyle claims. The real estate market is hot and they listed the Aspen house for more than double of what they bought it for in 2016 to capitalize on it. They sold two houses in LA already, one recently that they rented until now because of the real estate market which might change soon. Neighbors sell their houses for triple of what they bought them for (or more) around here (SE Florida).

Kyle’s defense diesn’t quite work.
 

First, she never went after Sutton for stealing Diana’s moment, she was basically calling Sutton a liar for saying she had 2 miscarriages. I don’t recall her saying anything to Sutton about letting Diana have her moment.
 

Second, she and the others were laughing way too much and trying to rehabilitate Ericka’s image by trying to emphasize how much they liked Ericka being more loosened up (never mind all of this loosening up is because she is drunk, not because she is becoming more open up on her own when sober). All Kyle had to say was “Look, I’m glad Ericka is opening up now and having more fun, I just don’t think it was right to cuss out Garcelle’s 14 year old son to do so” and there probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Kyle just stop posting. You have not said anything that even comes close to an apology to Garcelle and to Jax for laughing at a drunk woman's verbal attack on a 14 year old child. You are so quick to express your joy in Erika becoming a drunk that you for got about what she said to Jax. Your hero worship or blind admiration for the new and improved Erika is telling. You are known by your company and you have shown us just who you are.

You know, during the last airing of Dinner Party from Hell I noticed what appeared to be pretty obvious cuts. I'm sure that dinner was chaos but there were a few digs from Alison that were obviously taken from different exchanges. Now, I do think anyone who says 'I can tell you when she will die and what will happen to her family and I love that about me!' is a monster. But now I also think it's also possible Kyle & Alison saw similarities in each other.

Re-watching earlier seasons is interesting after seeing these women through the years. Kyle is consistently shit stirring and that has never changed. This is a woman that outed her own sister as an alcoholic on National television at the end if season one. Kathy didn't speak to her for years. She is always egging on every fight. She turned on LVP, supposedly a close friend, and Denise, who really never tried to hurt anyone but her BFF remains the morally corrupt Faye Resnick, the woman who could not wait to trash her former BFF shortly after her brutal murder. Now Kyle has aligned herself with the Evil bitch Erika, a woman that is now suggesting the victims Tom stole from are LYING. Morally Corrupt is a great description and it also fits Kyle.

I WANT to like Kyle. She's a lot like Vanderpump in that she makes a good anchor for the show. She's the last OG. She's always been the most connected to the rest of the group. She was born and raised in Beverly Hills, is beautiful, rich, has a handsome husband and darling kids, has famous family. Everything about her is very Hollywood and perfect for TV, especially Housewives. She loves being a wife and mother, and she also brings the lifestyle porn. 

I've always gone back and forth on her though. She can be very likable, charismatic and funny, but she can also be a classic mean girl and constantly on the wrong side of drama. She outed her own sister as an alcoholic. Most of us didn't know about it, but then she had the nerve to flip out on Brandi the following season when the cat was already out of the bag about Kim being an addict (thanks to HER), and Kim's behavior was obviously off. She was pretty awful in general to Brandi season 2. Years later, she was on the side to push Denise to talk about sleeping with Brandi. She was very cold to a grieving Vanderpump. Those are just a few examples at the top of my head. This recent stuff with Sutton grosses me out, but it's not the first time she's thrown Sutton under the bus. She pulled the same shit last season letting Sutton have the wrath of Erika. And now she thinks it's lovely Erika cursed at a child who was just wanted to get his mother's flowers.

Exactly. Kyle is a piece of shit and I hope Sutton never, ever forgets that moment. 

The fact is the only real friends in this group are Garcelle and Sutton. No way would they allow each other to self-medicate like Erika has been doing this season. It feels like they actually spend time with each other and each other's friends. Sutton already knew Will Smith's ex before the party.

And if they think that all that heavy drinking and mixing with pills is cool and a good way to open up, who needs enemies? And that sorry bitch needs a good slap for swearing at a child/teen. Would Kyle laugh if Drunk Erika cursed at Portia? Stupid bitches.

Kyle, of all people  should not be celebrating Erika's descent into alcoholism. All that crying and hand wringing over Kim, but she thinks it's just peachy when it's her good friend. Pretty sure Mauricio has a substance abuse issue, although his looks more like Marijuana. He appears stoned pretty much all the time he's on screen now. But, she is going to ignore that just like she ignores the cheating rumors.

I actually believe everything Kyle posted there. That doesn't excuse her but I pretty much thought those were the reasons for her behavior. So I am not sure there is much to disbelieve in her posts, it's not like she was blaming editing or what have you.

What I don't understand is why she is always so ready to defend Erika. Erika's ability to get people like Rinna and Kyle to defend her worst behavior is beyond perplexing to me.

Maybe, but this example of loosened up Erika was by far the worst. If she wants to congratulate Erika's new sloppy drunkenness , err, loosened up state, why not pick from one of the many examples of loose Erika where she wasn't propositioning or cursing at one of Garcelle's kids.

I found pretty telling that this was the episode, with these events, that she chose to highlight as "great".  There was nothing great about this "loosened up Erika" on this particular episode. 

I am not an Erika fan, but at least she showed some shame about her behavior. But for Kyle, this was the moment that prompted her to praise Erika's new "fun" side.  She could have picked rolling around on the yacht sofa, but no, she has to choose the episode where she tells Garcelle's just-turned! 14 year old to get the fuck out of here three times. 

Says a lot I think.

Dinner party from hell is a classic..and where there is so much...from Kim telling Taylor to blow up her lips, to Adrienne and LVP looking at awe at the fighting, to Allison vaping as she reads Kyle, and finally Queen Camille on her Thorne shading the trash that is Faye.

And I don't feel guilty, or dirty watching it...unlike Naked Wasted on OC (an iconic episode of the OC..but it's hella creepy for numerous reasons).

You could be right that it was more embarrassment than shame. My spidey senses detected some guilt feelings and the immediate non-defensive apology made me think shame, but sure, it could definitely be just garden variety embarrassment.

But, the main takeaway is...even despicable, self absorbed Erika knew there was something wrong with her behavior. Even if it was just (to her) embarrassing, she knew she had done something to feel embarrassed about.

But for Kyle? The main thing (the part that comes after the "but") is that Erika was "loosening up".  Cursing at the kid? Meh, propositioning the married son? Pishaw. None of that is as important as the fact that Kyle now finds Erika more fun to be around.  She is not a good person, imo.

That's what I don't get. First of all, I prefer kind and respectful over "fun."

And while drunk Erika on the boat was kind of amusing, at Garcelle's birthday, that Erika would just stress me out. There she goes hitting on a married man. She's got her leg up in the air. Did she even have underwear on? Then she's cursing at a little boy, she's saying all these profane things. Is that really fun to deal with? Remember when Kyle went nuts when someone hit on Mauricio season 1 at a white party? 

Kyle seems to be in this permanent let's party like we're college-age and it's spring break state. I'm all for people of all ages having a good time, but most people do grow out of needing to get trashed, if they ever go through that stage to begin with.

Kyle: Your apology is pure b.s.  You weren't preserving Diana's "moment." You deliberately inserted yourself and interrupted a private conversation that you weren't asked to join, you made Sutton out to be a liar just because YOU had no prior knowledge of her miscarriages AND you put your hands on Sutton (which is uncalled for in ANY situation.) (And I don't even thinking that Sutton was innocently trying to empathize with Diana - but whatever Sutton's motives - and likely useless effort given Diana's bitchery - it wasn't your business.)  And you were happy to see Ericka drunk? Why? It was just another drunken gross performance in a series of drunken gross acts.  That included the verbal abuse of a 14-year old.  What about any of that should make you happy?
