Kyle Richards Doubles Down And Defends Her Text Message to PK Kemsley: “I’m Someone Who Doesn’t Repeat Things”

Kyle Richards has been under scrutiny for her text message exchange with Paul “PK” Kemsley during Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, particularly amid PK’s separation from Dorit Kemsley. The texts, which Kyle Richards initially hesitated to share with her co-stars, were ultimately revealed in an emotional moment on the show. However, Kyle is now opening up about why she sent the message and why she feels her character has been misunderstood.

During a recent RHOBH After Show, Kyle took the opportunity to defend her actions, clarifying the intent behind her message. She explained that, contrary to what some may have assumed, her communication with PK wasn’t about gossip or betrayal, but rather a supportive gesture during a challenging time.

“Forget how it could be seen or what the audience might think. Everybody here — regardless of if we’re having an argument or how we get along — everybody here knows my character. And they know that I’m not that person,” Kyle Richards stated, stressing that her actions were consistent with the kind of friend she is.

Kyle also touched on the context surrounding her decision to send the message, which had some wondering if she was hiding something. “Another thing, which I did not make a point to say in my interviews, was that … don’t forget that I was coming off of Dorit reading my text message at the reunion. So I’m thinking, ‘I don’t know who anyone thinks they can trust around here right now.’ I also want to be like, ‘I’m someone that doesn’t repeat things.’”

This reminder of the previous season’s reunion — where Dorit revealed a private text message of Kyle’s — was crucial for Kyle. She felt the need to make it clear to PK that he could trust her to keep their conversations confidential, especially during a moment when trust was at the forefront of her mind.

In Episode 7, Kyle Richards finally revealed what the controversial text messages actually said, putting the rumors to rest. “I said, ‘I know you have a lot of friends but I am one and here when you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me and never would,’” she read aloud to Sutton Stracke, Erika Jayne, and Garcelle Beauvais. “’Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.’ That is what I wrote to him.”

Despite Kyle’s lighthearted message — which included humorous memes — the reaction from her co-stars was mixed. Sutton Stracke admitted in a confessional, “Wait a minute, this is not just about memes and jokes. This is serious talk.”

The tension continued when Garcelle Beauvais reflected on the message, wondering if it implied that there were private conversations that Dorit might not know about. “It didn’t dawn on me until I laid in the bed that night and I ran that through my head and I go, ‘Wait, did she say, ‘I’ve never said anything you’ve said to me and I never will?’ Which made it seem like they talked about things that maybe Dorit doesn’t know,” Garcelle remarked.

For Kyle Richards, the issue was less about what the message said and more about the principles of trust and privacy. She has repeatedly stressed that she is not the type of person to spread secrets or betray her friends, even when the situation gets complicated. Sutton echoed this sentiment, saying, “Kyle is not one to tell friends’ secrets … Kyle can be very private and can hold things that you’ve said to her in private. She’s not that person.”

The issue, of course, was magnified by Dorit revealing Kyle Richards private texts at the previous season’s reunion. “She felt very exploited by Dorit when Dorit did that to her,” Sutton added, referring to the betrayal Kyle felt when Dorit made her personal message public.

While the conversation surrounding Kyle’s text messages continued to unfold, Erika Jayne offered a broader perspective on the nature of texting. She explained, “You can take it like a script. You can take it and make it anything you want. Give me a line read on this. I can make what you text him sound any f–king way I want, and if you don’t understand that, you’re not creative.”

In the end, Kyle feels confident that her actions were innocent and rooted in her true character. “It wasn’t like I was saying this for years,” she clarified, emphasizing that the message was specifically sent in response to a pivotal moment in PK’s life when he might have been feeling vulnerable.

“I will show you guys this, then I’m not gonna do this again. Not for her or anybody. OK? Because I think it’s ridiculous,” Kyle stated firmly, reinforcing her stance that the text exchange was harmless and that she simply wanted to support a friend in need.

Do you think Kyle Richards was in the wrong?

Busted! I'm so glad that none of these women are buying what Kyle is trying to sell. That tit for tat comment from Boz was right on point. Kyle's acting skills (or lack thereof) when Sutton mentioned Mo's infidelity was a smidget of payback for me. I wish the best for Dorit, screw Kyle and PK.

I love how Boz is like not today satan lol

Yeah, she's good.

I really like her and hope she comes back

I typically don't like RHOBH but I have to say I am loving this season because Kyle is getting her butt kicked at long last! I really liked that tit for tat comment too.

She (Kyle) has repeatedly stressed that she is not the type of person to spread secrets or betray her friends, even when the situation gets complicated. She's not? Well, that's news to me!

While I'm not demonizing her, I do think Kyle's loyalty should have been with Dorit first, because as she said herself, she would be awfully upset if Dorit were in communication with Mauricio (behind Kyle's back). But again, the texting isn't really the issue; it's the non-disclosure. However in Kyle's defense, I though she made a good point when she reminded us about Dorit publicly reading Kyle's text at the reunion. But regardless, I'm not really digging this season ... the After Shows remain more entertaining than the show itself. Sidenote: Kunty is looking extraordinarily gorge this season, and all the turmoil in Dorit's life is not affecting her aesthetic either.

Ya know what though ? That text in re reunion , was obvi blindside move from Kyle to attempt to keep her on her team for reunion . And I didn’t think that was a big deal , not nearly as big , as her backstabbing girl code and chatting it up with PeenK. We all know Kyle would’ve read that text to someone if role was reversed at reunion.
Zap It January 15, 2025 - 9:49 pm
Agreed!
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark January 16, 2025 - 3:53 pm
I dunno, reading private texts is a pretty serious breach to the famous, or anyone really. It's definitely why I don't text or email (document) delicate info in business (or pleasure). However, it certainly doesn't excuse Kyle for her breaking "girl code". For me, the whole thing just further demonstrates how fake all these friendships are.

I agree with EJ looking fabulous this season...WTH? She looked terrible when she gained all that weight and then her face looked terrible last season when she lost all that weight. Ozempic face. But wow, she looks amazing now. She especially looks the best when she wears the lighter eye makeup. The heavy eye liner ages her. Also, I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually LIKE her this season. It scares me...LOL. Dorit looks awesome too. Don't agree about publicly reading Kyle's text...that was a vintage Kyle manipulation move and Dorit called her on it.

You really nailed it on Kunty's transformation. Those two difficult seasons really took their toll on her waistline appearance, and IMO, Mikey and Co. made it only worse with that garish makeup and unflattering clothes. See Exhibit A: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d9d7157663162e82eaf587d331a15129b127d3b6b245bd0bf23b98fc54701310.jpg

Oh good heavens! Whoever convinced her to wear that Pepto-Bismol pink atrocity HATES her ass with the fire of a thousand suns! ?

I remember that first picture. It's from a reunion. She was really bloated from the weight gain and hitting the bottle. And remember, EJ was always a bit overweight but she could pull it off because of her height. But she gained a lot more when the sh*t hit the fan. I couldn't believe how awful she looked. She obviously got some amazing advice and followed it because she's gained just enough of the weight back to look healthy and fill out her face instead of staying stick thin and shooting filler which is what a lot of them do. She looks fabulous. Gotta give credit where credit is due. ?
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark January 17, 2025 - 2:59 pm
I thought she got a little too thin there for a hot second, starting to get those old lady Sutton legs. Both people who I know who tried OZ couldn't handle the nausea which is apparently one of the side effects.

Kyle is trying to be Switzerland and her cheesy excuses are just full of holes. Stop talking/texting to the EX-husband (or we can "talk about your husband?", right Kim?).
michers January 15, 2025 - 11:05 am
Ok but you’re a liar, a gaslighter , and treating your friend like shit and befriending her man? Ahole moves
Shaunna January 15, 2025 - 5:56 pm
Yes ma'am, definitely an A-HOLE move!!
Zap It January 15, 2025 - 10:22 am
Kyle sent that text to PK to get even with Dorit. She told Boz that she's STILL livid that people were saying on SM that Mo and Dorit had something going on. She even had on her phone the pictures of Dorit hugging Mo as he hugged PK from 2022!!!! I knew it...this is about jealousy and Kyle will never forgive anyone who gets too close to her husband. And now she's supporting Dorit's husband to get back at her. What did Boz say...Tit for Tat. Kyle is a jealous, manipulative, calculating b*tch. To hold on to something like this for over two years!?! ? Wow. Team Dorit all the way!
michers January 15, 2025 - 11:08 am
Yup . Still spiteful and hurtful . Hope everyone is watched the episode that’s on the cast . Making fort feel like shit … dicks. And sorry but never ok to stay in communications with someone else’s hubby , not tell them , especially while separated and going thru divorce . Imagine one of them secretly texting Mo, let alone hug the man
Shaunna January 15, 2025 - 5:50 pm
Yep, all of that!
Champagne Hangover January 15, 2025 - 9:20 am
TEAM DORIT! ? And I don’t even hate Kyle but if YOU were facing a potentially nasty divorce as you come to realize how toxic your marriage has become, would you regard your so called ‘friend’ with whom you presently have strife and reason to doubt the validity of that friendship, (especially after Kyle publicly denigrated it ? ) would you nonetheless be just hunky dory, peachy keen with THAT ‘friend’ communicating with your soon to be ex OR would you have doubts and concerns about that friend’s loyalty and how it could potentially impact your divorce? I honestly don’t see how anyone can’t be TEAM DORIT (even if Dorit is annoying AF ?, she is BUT she always has been. ????). Kyle busted herself. ?
