Getty Kathy Hilton
Kyle Richards and her sister Kathy Hilton had a falling out while filming the 12th season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but are things any better nearly one year later?
Hilton had a reported meltdown during a cast trip to Aspen, Colorado, that took place in January 2022 and was filmed for the Bravo reality show. On the season 12 RHOBH episode “We Need to Talk About Kathy,” co-star Lisa Rinna claimed that Hilton threatened to “destroy” Richards and her family and “take down” Bravo during a tirade that took place off-camera. While Hilton did apologize to her sister for talking about her behind her back, the damage was done.
The RHOBH reunion did nothing to repair Hilton and Richards’ relationship, and Richards left the studio in tears. She told Page Six that the “painful” reunion was “emotionally draining” for her.
