Kyle Richards’ text messages with PK Kemsley didn’t start her feud with Dorit Kemsley, but it surely’s not helping the ladies mend fences.
The January 7 episode of RHOBH ended with the 2 women screaming at one another after it was revealed that Kyle had texted with PK following his separation from Dorit. The fight bled into the start of the Tuesday, January 14 episode, with Kyle addressing her texts PK multiple times — but never to Dorit directly.
At one point during Tuesday’s episode, Kyle read Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais the precise text she sent PK after his separation statement went public.
“I do know you could have numerous friends but I’m also one and here in case you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you could have ever shared with me and never would. (Meaning you’ll be able to trust me all the time),” the text read. “Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.”
Kyle Richards is hopeful that she and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Dorit Kemsley can repair their friendship. “I feel that in case you’ve ever cared about any individual that much, I feel there’s all the time room for repair, assuming they haven’t done something horrendous to one another,” Kyle, 55, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting RHOBH […]
The opposite woman weighed during their respective confessionals.
“Wait a minute, this just isn’t nearly memes and jokes. That is serious talk,” Sutton said.
“So that they have shared things about Dorit or relationship[s] or whatever that nobody else knows about,” Garcelle added. “All this time, Kyle is basically defending that it’s just memes. It’s not all true.”
Garcelle eventually paraphrased Kyle’s text to newcomer Bozeman St. John and the preview for next week’s episode showed Bozeman asking Kyle to “please” read the text she sent to PK.
“And that’s all I f—ing said. Now I’m done. I’m not going to be made to feel like I’ve done something fallacious,” Kyle said through tears within the clip, before talking to Dorit directly. “I’ve loved you and your loved ones. F— everybody, I’m done with this s—. I’m not doing this anymore.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is weighing in on costar Dorit Kemsley’s marriage to PK Kemsley. During a Wednesday, February 21, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Kyle, 55, was asked whether she thinks the pair’s marriage will survive. “I do know that they’re in place now […]
Kyle previously told Us Weekly exclusively in November 2024 about walking off the RHOBH set — which was teased within the season 14 trailer.
“That scene specifically, walking off. I just don’t feel like I used to be myself, and I don’t feel like I used to be strong enough,” she shared. “Truthfully, to be shooting the show at the moment, I just really needed the girl to form of be there for me and support me. And clearly I didn’t feel that in any respect, so it just magnified my situation.”

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, Kyle further explained her regrets about that moment.
“I regretted how I handled it, but not leaving. I just didn’t have it in me anymore. I used to be at some extent where I used to be so depressed, frankly. I’m not someone who gets depressed,” Kyle explained. “I’ve had anxiety my entire life but never depression, and I actually felt like I used to be scuffling with depression and I expressed that. And I just felt like I couldn’t go into scenarios on a regular basis and just have everyone coming at me.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
