Kyle Richards says RHOBH reunion was even worse than she expected amid feud with sister Kathy Hilton – and she struggled to ‘recover’ after filming wrapped
As the only remaining original cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards has endured numerous reunions.
But the Halloween Ends actress said the upcoming Season 12 reunion might be her worst yet, likely due to her ongoing feud with her sister Kathy Hilton.
Speaking to Studio 10 on Wednesday, the 53-year-old admitted: “I knew the reunion was going to be tough, but I had no idea it was going to be this bad.”

The star then revealed that it “took him a while to recover from that day”.
“I feel better now, but that’s the downside of reality TV. That’s why I prefer acting, because it’s a character and you can leave it behind,” she added.
Kyle is currently promoting his new movie Halloween Ends with Jamie-Lee Curtis.
Kathy Hilton joined the series as a regular cast member ahead of season 12.
“I knew it was going to be a tough reunion, but I didn’t know it was going to be this bad,” she said.
The sisters had grown apart somewhat before filming for the series began, and Richards hoped that working together might bring them closer.
“It was my idea to bring my sister Kathy on the show and people kept saying, ‘Do you think that’s a good idea?
“We got along great and in a great place and I just wanted to have fun and hang out and be able to bond with her, and she’s funny and she makes me laugh.”
