Kyle Richards is weighing in on the drama, and it sounds like the newest diamond holder is already feeling the heat.
During a recent Amazon Live, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills veteran was asked why Dorit, Boz, and Rachel appear to be “so mean” to this season’s newest cast member, Amanda Frances. And while Kyle didn’t fully co-sign the “mean girl” label, she didn’t exactly shut it down either.
As viewers are seeing play out on this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Amanda Frances hasn’t had the smoothest introduction to the group. Beverly Hills has a long history of putting newbies through the wringer, and it seems Amanda walked straight into tension.
Kyle admitted she didn’t know much about Amanda when filming began.
“I only met her briefly for a second when we started this so, I was just giving her the benefit of the doubt and I dont know, they clashed with her and they really weren’t a fan,” Kyle explained.
So while some of the women formed opinions quickly, Kyle says she tried to take a different approach.
“And I think I felt bad that that was happening so I made more of an effort to give her a chance,” she continued.
That’s notable coming from Kyle, who over the years has often been accused of siding with the majority. This time, however, she suggests she stepped in — at least socially — when she saw Amanda struggling to connect.
Still, Kyle wasn’t about to spill the entire season’s storyline.
“And I dont know, I think you guys have to tune in and keep watching to see how it pans out.”
Classic Housewives tease.
While Kyle avoided directly criticizing Dorit, Boz, or Rachel, her comments confirm what fans are already noticing: Amanda Frances’ arrival has shaken up the dynamic. Whether it’s personality clashes, loyalty lines being drawn, or simple growing pains, the tension is very real.
And if Kyle Richards is admitting she “felt bad” enough to make an effort, it sounds like Beverly Hills may be dividing faster than we thought.
