Heavy/Bravo Kyle Richards reacts to Lisa Vanderpump's comments.
Kyle Richards said she “appreciated” the kind things that her former best friend, Lisa Vanderpump, said about her at BravoCon 2023.
“I really appreciated her words. That was very, very kind of her,” Richards told Page Six. “Lisa also has a long marriage and a successful marriage,” she continued. “I still consider Mauricio’s and my marriage a successful marriage. And even the way we’re handling it now, I feel like we’re doing it the right way as best as we possibly can,” she added.
Richards’ comments come after Vanderpump was asked about Richards’ separation from Mauricio Umansky.
“I know there was a lot of love between them. There really was, and there probably still is,” Vanderpump said. “So I think it saddens me to see anybody that’s been together that long [break up] because marriage is hard. And I hope they can kind of get through this and facilitate some kind of [solution], you know,” she added.

“I’ve gone through a lot this last year that does change you. Losing my best friend to suicide changed me. Going through my divorce, all that has made me stronger but it definitely changes you as a person. I feel good,” she told Too Fab. Richards didn’t correct herself or

On the November 4, 2023, episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, Richards said that she’s not one to hold a grudge. She said that she’d be willing to mend her feud with Vanderpump — if Vanderpump made the first move.
When Richards was asked who she wasn’t looking forward to seeing at BravoCon, she said Vanderpump. “We don’t see each other and obviously we don’t speak,” Richards told Mellencamp.
Mellencamp then asked Richards if there was “ever a chance of reconciliation” between her and Vanderpump. “If she were to come up and say something nice and give me a hug or something, I’m the type that would just be like, ‘forgotten,'” Richards responded.
She admitted that Vanderpump is “not that type” so that situation would be unlikely to happen.
