Lisa Vanderpump recently opened up about her past friendship with Kyle Richards, offering a glimpse into the bond they once shared during their time together on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In a heartfelt conversation on the Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast on April 1, Vanderpump discussed the turbulent end of her friendship with Richards, which occurred during the 9th season of RHOBH in 2019. Despite their fallout, Vanderpump admitted that she misses the unique connection they once had.
“I don’t need that person in my life at all,” Vanderpump said, reflecting on the fractured relationship. “But I miss what we had because I think we had this unique friendship. And that’s what I enjoyed.” She went on to reminisce about the special moments they shared, including the late-night phone calls and the joy they found in each other’s company.
“I loved the kind of late night phone calls and how we would giggle and laugh together, and how I was always there for her because she had a very tumultuous relationship with her sisters [Kim Richards and Kathy Hilton] as we’ve seen,” Vanderpump shared. “I was always a sounding board for her, an advocate of them, kind of always trying to keep that relationship on solid ground.”
Vanderpump also fondly recalled some of the more playful memories of their friendship, including some of their cheeky adventures while filming RHOBH.
“Kyle and I could laugh together climbing over walls, breaking in people’s hotel rooms, you know, while the cast or the cast members and getting stuck in the wall — my butt getting stuck in the wall or pushing her down the hall on the hotel trolley,” Vanderpump laughed. “I mean, we had a lot of fun.”
