Amid a wave of personal and professional changes shaking up the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, Kyle Richards is opening up about the recent headlines surrounding her co-stars. Attending a charity event with longtime friend Teddi Mellencamp on Monday night, Kyle reflected on the show’s drama, the challenges her castmates are facing off-screen, and what truly matters most.

Following Dorit Kemsley’s recent divorce filing from husband Paul “PK” Kemsley, Kyle shared where she stands with her former close friend.
“I haven’t spoken with [Dorit],” Kyle Richards revealed to Extra TV on April 28. “I sent her a text, and that’s all you can do is reach out, and when she’s ready … I know it’s a very difficult time. It’s always sad to see a family broken up, always.”
While Kyle Richards and Dorit were once tight-knit, season 14 of RHOBH put a strain on their relationship, and things have not returned to what they once were. Reflecting on how the season ended, Kyle didn’t hold back.
“I felt horrible,” she admitted, adding that her focus has shifted dramatically in recent months due to Teddi’s health battle.
“That feels like nothing now compared to what’s been going on these last couple months. It was a difficult season for sure, but things like this really put things into perspective,” she explained.
In a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Kyle opened up about Garcelle Beauvais’ departure from the show, expressing disappointment over their stalled communication.
“I have not heard from her. I felt bad that she was not coming back. I was excited that our friendship was blossoming and going to a deeper level, and now she’s gone. It’s sad. I hope to reconnect, off camera or on camera. But she’s gonna do great. She’ll be great no matter what,” Kyle shared.
The night also brought a more uplifting note as Kyle Richards celebrated her bond with Teddi, who recently received positive news in her battle with melanoma.
“She’s definitely the best thing that ever came out of doing Real Housewives for me by far, and I’m so grateful for her,”Kyle gushed. “And having something like this happen, it felt very surreal, obviously, and I’m just so happy to see her. We got great news the other day, so that made us all very happy and very excited, and very emotional. I was actually in Target on FaceTime with her and the doctors, sobbing in Target while we’re ringing up all the things.”
“It gives us a lot of hope now, and hopefully it gives many people hope out there,” she added, referencing the incredible update that all of Teddi’s tumors have “shrunk or disappeared.”
In the midst of heartbreak and farewells, Kyle continues to find strength in friendship and clarity in the bigger picture—both on and off screen.

She is not upset over anyone ever other then herself .
Kyle. . .U were never "friends"with Garcelle; BE REAL and if you are "friends" with Dorit, then go to her HOME. See her and be there for her, like you are with TeddiBORE. Next season should be the Fox Five (can't believe I wrote this) and Bozo and a new Bozo "friend" Good Bye Sutton, Bye Jennifer. Kathy & Kim back as "friends" Keep a core going and they all have stories (maybe not Bozo) and move FORWARD.
I thought this article said she talked about what is really important.
The only thing that is really important to Kyle is publicity — good, bad or otherwise — that keeps her name as a d-list celebrity in the small corner of social media in which she resides.
This broad is delusional. Garcelle hated her ass from the jump. There was nothing to ‘blossom’ there except a sh*t blossom. ? Normally I’d say, ‘no way Kyle even believes the bs she’s saying’ and that could still very well be the case. HOWEVER, this one ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer… which I’m sure burned Garcie’s butter all the more when Kyle, nonetheless, checkmated her ass!?? That’s gotta sting a lil’ bit cuz while I’m not a Garcelle fan, she’s pretty smart imo. So, yeah….that’s a mighty generous portion of humble pie to have to eat when it’s served up by a dummy.? I wouldn’t want to talk to Kyle either if I were Garcelle on that score alone.?
You mean that Kyle got rid of Garcelle because of the Sutton worship? Maybe. But I think Boz had the final checkmate. Now, that really burned Garcelle's butt.
No, I’m not sure it’s so much about Sutton as it is Garcelle herself coming in hot from the jump with bitchy passive-aggressive digs at Kyle ripped from gossip blogs solely to pander for popularity points. THEN having the nerve to more than imply Kyle is…wait for it, wait for it…RACIST ? cuz Kyle called her out on trying to stiff her charity which Kyle had every right to do imo. (tho it should have happened off camera for both grace AND race card abuse reasons). ?
THEN the final straw: the betrayal of Garcie trying to out Kyle’s ass (at least from Kyle’s perspective)? ? As Queen Bee of the show, a (former?) producer and rumors of connections that go above Andy’s head? You bet Kyle low key, behind the scenes and otherwise checkmated Garcelle’s ass. So would anyone in Kyle’s position tbh. That said, Garcie didn’t see it coming and was so full of herself, she didn’t think a dimwit like Kyle could (or rather would ) cuz that race card was her insurance policy. Garcie didn’t check that card for an expiration date tho. So, ?? Buh-bye. ?
There's something about Kyle with these interviews that I can't quite put my finger on. She's always polite and answers the questions, but it's like her answers are always canned and predictable which makes me feel like she's leaving lots of stuff out.
Kyle is VERY media trained.
That's a good way of putting it…very rehearsed.
Yes Zap, she says a lot with a lot of squirting around on the questions asked. Problem is, she gets away with it as no one pushes with the hard questions. Is she, isn't she, does she, dosent she? Who knows & really, who cares?
VERY!!! ??
Yes, I think you nailed it.
Yes, Kyle, I'm sure you're devastated that Garcelle is gone. :sarcasm:
Kyle shops at Target?
Target of course … but I doubt she frequents Walmart (unless she's like me; traveling and it can't be avoided).
Wow, I didn't take Kyle for a Target person. I would have thought that was beneath her now. BTW, I shop at Walmart all the time. I don't see anything wrong with that. Or Target. But I like a deal and I hate to be overcharged for something I can get cheaper next door.
Hell, I’m a Dollar Tree gal. Y’all two all FANCY with your Walmart and Target ???
LOL CH, good one.
I’ve discovered that it totally depends on the Walmart. I’ve been to some in other cities which were very nice … but it’s certainly not the norm. I own the fact that I just don’t have the tolerance. It’s enough of a struggle to just run in to pick up my meds, but then I’m outta there.
