Kyle Richards Breaks Down Over Text Drama with Dorit's Estranged Husband PK Kemsley on RHOBH

Kyle Richards is visibly shaken and on the brink of a breakdown in the latest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode, as she is confronted over her ongoing communication with Dorit Kemsley’s estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley. The drama unfolds during a heated spa day, where Kyle is forced to defend her actions and clarify the nature of her relationship with PK, all while trying to maintain her composure.

In the Jan. 21 episode, the 56-year-old reality star tears up as she addresses her longtime friend Dorit, who has raised concerns about the texts Kyle Richards sent to PK. “I love you and PK and your kids,” Kyle tearfully tells Dorit. “And you know that, I know that you know that. I’ve been made to feel like I did something wrong, you know, sending a text to PK, so I said, I’m gonna read this once, and that is it.”

Kyle’s emotional outburst comes after the group’s ongoing suspicion regarding her relationship with PK, fueled by comments from Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, who made a remark about Kyle’s intentions. Kyle repeatedly insists she has “nothing to hide” and, in a bid for transparency, offers to read the text message aloud to the entire group. “He makes a joke in April. The next text is not till the day you guys got separated,” Kyle explains before reading the message from her phone. “I said, ‘I know you have a lot of friends, I’m also one. If you need me, I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me and wouldn’t.'”

Despite her attempt to clear the air, the situation only intensifies. As Kyle Richards continues to defend herself, tears streaming down her face, she declares, “I want to say something then I’m leaving, I don’t know how this all went so wrong.” Dorit, visibly upset, urges Kyle to sit down, but Kyle resists. “I don’t want to [sit down], I really don’t. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do this anymore. I really can’t.”

In a moment of clarity, Kyle Richards explains that her reference to “not repeating anything” was not meant to imply secrecy from Dorit, but rather a commitment to not sharing private details with production while filming. The cameras, which are always present during RHOBH filming, play a significant role in Kyle’s discomfort, as she emphasizes, “I wouldn’t share what we talked about with production.”

However, her explanation doesn’t fully satisfy her fellow Housewives, with Garcelle Beauvais expressing skepticism during a confessional. “I don’t get what her talking to PK has to do with production,” Garcelle says. “So if you’re having a private conversation with someone and you want to say, ‘I will never share what we talked about with production,’ you would write ‘with production’ — and she didn’t do that.” Garcelle’s remark suggests that Kyle’s claim may not hold up under scrutiny, especially given the vague nature of her message to PK.

Kyle Richards tearful defense comes on the heels of earlier tension between the Housewives, which had already been building. In the previous episode, Kyle had accused Dorit of being “way too touchy-feely” with her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, during a conversation about text messages and rumors circulating online. “There was a whole rumor about how Dorit has a thing for Mo, and it was all over the internet,” Kyle remarks, referring to the speculation. “She had to go and defend it and this and that. So don’t even get me freaking started about sending stupid memes, okay?”

In another emotional moment, Kyle Richards insists that Dorit’s insinuations about her actions are unwarranted. “The fact that she’s trying to make it seem like I’m [doing] anything inappropriate is gross. And I’m not going to get to a point in my life where I am having to pull out my phone and s—, because I’m an adult, and that’s a f—ing joke.”

Despite Kyle’s attempt to clarify the nature of her relationship with PK, her co-stars remain unconvinced. After Kyle reads the text messages aloud, Sutton Stracke and Garcelle are quick to point out that the messages seemed to suggest more than just “memes and jokes.” “Wait a minute, this is not just about memes and jokes,” Sutton observes, while Garcelle adds, “So they have shared things about Dorit or [their] relationship… So it’s not all true.”

As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that Kyle’s friendship with PK, and the texts she has exchanged with him, have caused a rift in her relationships with the other Housewives. With emotions running high and suspicions lingering, it remains to be seen how Kyle will navigate the fallout from this drama in the upcoming episodes of RHOBH.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Kyle has fake-cried so often over the years, the local CVS must be running out of bottled tear drops.

The real pot stirrer backstabbing bitch here is Garcon'. I would love to see each of the cast members reveal everything she's ever told them in confidence.

Well honestly this is the side eyeing she deserves . She broke girl code , friend code all the codes that she holds others to so suck it up buttercup ! The audacity she has every week to gaslight Dorit and make Dorit feel like she owes her something - unreal ! Dorit never did anything to hurt her or humiliate or OR , ice her out . Big fracking deal ; she read your one text out loud that , during that time , you had begun being a dick to her so ya she was off guard literally at reunion that you sent her your manipulation… grow up Kyle and stop being spiteful. It makes you look cringe

"I've been made to feel like I did something wrong". I have to remember that line. Good one to use. Moving on, this is a jealousy issue with Kyle. She stopped being friends with Dorit when that "rumour" hit the internet in 2022 about Dorit being too "touchy-feely" with Mo. Kyle still has it on her phone? Even if completely untrue, that was the end of the friendship with Dorit because as we all know, Kyle is extremely jealous and possessive of Mo. And Dorit didn't defend it. She DENIED it. But not good enough for vindictive, jealous Kyle. She's been going after Dorit ever since and now Dorit is calling her on her BS.

But isn't a married women expected to be "extremely jealous and possessive" of their husbands?

NO!!! ? Well at least not the ones who don't screw around ?

Kyle is such an idiot! All she had to do is say, ‘whatever a friend tells me in confidence, I keep In confidence’, then apologize for any misunderstanding, concede that what she did might be perceived as something she never intended under the circumstances, take accountability for any lack of discernment and be willing and able to negotiate concessions that will restore trust. Yes, while things are messy some of those concessions might be a pain in the ass, but for a true friend struggling with misfortune you endure some ass pain here and there. Thing is, I don’t think Kyle really ever considered Dorit a true friend, she pretty much came out and publicly said just that. So…?

Kyle is raging because she got called out and can't turn those ladies on Dorit like she planned. I think the vein pop is going to be around for the rest of this season anyway. ?
Champagne Hangover January 21, 2025 - 10:22 am
Yep, she underestimated Dorit and assumed Dorit would just continue to be be a cloying minion, desperate to be a member of Kyle’s mean girl clique and she WAS…until she wasn’t anymore. ? Once Dorit said ‘eff that’ and started asserting herself, Kyle just wasn’t having it. So, Dorit was all like, ‘Oh eff yes, you will have it, b*tch…and I’ll show you just how you’re gonna have it’ and GOOD for her! But of course butt hurt Kyle has to play the victim card and garner attention by being a freakin’ drama queen… ?? Team Dorit.

Yep!
