For years, fans of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have felt like Kyle Richards has often gotten off easy when it comes to being held accountable. When she and Kim Richards or Kathy Hilton were on the outs, Kyle usually refused to talk about their main issues. When Kyle had a falling out with Lisa Vanderpump, again, she remained quiet. But the rumors around her possible love connection with Morgan Wade were too much for some fans to bear. Finally, Kyle is being forced to take some responsibility for purposefully leaving viewers in the dark.
Kyle Richards refuses to talk about Morgan Wade on RHOBH
I would think it goes without saying, but if you sign up to be on a reality TV show, especially a Bravo one, you probably know you are going to have to let the skeletons out of the closet at some point. But not Kyle. While she has talked a bit about her separation from Mauricio Umansky, she has yet to open up about where she stands with Mau and, more importantly, what she categorizes her relationship with Morgan as.
For the last two seasons of RHOBH, fans have watched Kyle slowly pull away from the idea of reconciling with her husband. In Season 13, viewers watched with anticipation as Kyle tattooed her initial on Morgan. The two women shared a bond beyond friendship. It didn’t help that they released a music video with a steamy kiss in it, too. Yet, two years later, we know nothing new. Now, she who must not be named, refuses to be a part of the series, and Kyle refuses to talk about her. Thank goodness Andy Cohen pointed out the hypocrisy of it all during the reunion.
Kyle Richards doubled down on PK Kemsley’s friendship at the RHOBH reunion
Personally, I don’t understand how Kyle didn’t know she would upset Dorit Kemsley by keeping up a friendship consisting of memes with PK Kemsley. The Halloween actor isn’t dumb. So I have to assume it was out of pure pettiness, which works when you’re on Real Housewives. Kyle lost her cool when confronted during the season. She and her forehead vein quickly stormed out after being asked to share her private messages. Luckily, Andy had every exit metaphorically blocked to prevent an escape. However, as the season continued, Kyle still dodged any responsibility when it came to hurting Dorit’s feelings.
But Kyle was finally put in the hot seat during the reunion. After a quick poll of the ladies, she quickly learned she didn’t have a leg to stand on. Or an ally. Not one diamond holder thought she was right to continue to text PK. It says a lot that these women agreed on anything. Usually, there are one or two who would have Kyle’s back. Erika Jayne, who has always been in the OG’s corner, noted that while she didn’t believe Kyle was flirting. In fact, she thought her actions were inappropriate.
Kyle Richards didn’t ask Mauricio Umansky the hard questions during RHOBH Season 14
You better believe if I were on national TV and my husband was snapped kissing a young 20-something-year-old in a Greek airport, I’d have questions to ask. Yet when this occurred for Kyle, she kept eerily silent. She played off the incident as if she didn’t care. And even though it very much felt like Mau was trying to exact some sort of public revenge for the constant photos with Morgan, the mother of four, acted as if she couldn’t be less bothered. Make it make sense. During a scene together after The Agency owner returned, she beat around the bush and refused to ask him the hard questions.
Granted, Kyle has shared a lot over the years. She’s raised her family on RHOBH and showcased her interpersonal relationships with her siblings. But something has gone terribly wrong. Kyle has now been given a little too much control over her narrative; just like the others, she is expected to share details about her life. It’s the deal she made when she agreed to become a reality star. But now everything has become a bit too behind the scenes, and it’s shady. If she can’t fulfill her requirement, she is going to need to be dethroned. And I doubt she will appreciate that.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
