Boz Saint John is known for speaking her truth, and the extended cut of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion proves it. In a candid exchange that didn’t make the final airing, Boz Saint John was incredibly straightforward with Kyle Richards about their complicated relationship — or, as she sees it, the lack of one.
During their tense conversation, Kyle Richards claimed she had made a sincere effort to bond with Boz. She brought up a heart-to-heart conversation she thought they had at Boz’s Oceanside hotel room. But Boz wasn’t buying it — in fact, she didn’t even remember the conversation taking place.
“Girl, you did not come into my room at Oceanside,” Boz fired back, leaving Kyle a bit taken aback. Kyle, however, insisted that Boz must be “forgetting what we’re talking about,” and went on to describe the encounter where she asked a producer to bring her to Boz’s room for a chat. According to Kyle, she shared her admiration for Boz, saying, “I just think that you’re amazing. I get such a great vibe from you… You’re so open and you’re funny and you’re smart.”
But Boz wasn’t convinced. “I don’t recall that at all, actually,” she replied with no hesitation.
Kyle was clearly frustrated, reiterating her attempts to connect, but Boz wasn’t having it. “Girl, the conversations were not memorable, Kyle! That’s what it is,” she responded bluntly.
The tension between the two was palpable, and it didn’t end there. In a confessional segment, Boz had some sharp words for Kyle, describing her as “cold” and “not very welcoming.” She didn’t back down on this sentiment during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show either. When talking to Dorit Kemsley, Boz asserted, “My opinion on how Kyle is behaving is my opinion, and no one can tell me that that’s wrong… I think that Kyle was cold to me. I don’t take that back at all. She was.”
Kyle, understandably hurt by Boz’s assessment, expressed her disappointment. “It genuinely just hurt my feelings because I was having a completely different experience,” she explained. “So, you had lunch with my sister [Kathy Hilton] and then you felt comfortable enough to say that to my sister? That’s weird, and it doesn’t even feel true.”
As tensions over their relationship continued to build, Boz also addressed another point of contention during the reunion: the claim that she was Dorit’s “spokesperson.” When Garcelle Beauvais made the comment, Boz had no qualms about owning the label. But she wasn’t happy with the implication that Dorit had been manipulating her. “This is the thing that rubbed me the wrong way,” she told host Andy Cohen, making it clear that while she didn’t mind the title, the insinuation of manipulation was where she drew the line.
In the end, it’s clear that while Bozoma Saint John is unafraid to speak her mind, her candidness has made her relationship with some of the other Housewives more complicated.
