Kyle Richards has not been tuning into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14.
“I’m going to be honest, I have not watched three episodes now,” Kyle, 56, admitted during her Amazon Live on Tuesday, January 21. “It’s not good for my anxiety, and it’s been really frustrating and hard to watch when I felt like every time I went into the group, I was ambushed.”
Kyle said that “right out of the gate” she was dealing with feuds — referring to the ongoing tension with Dorit Kemsley on the show.
“I started feeling like even people who I thought were my friends, I had to question, and I was honestly depressed at that time,” Kyle continued. “I wasn’t used to being depressed, and I probably should’ve taken the season off, to be honest, but I didn’t.”
The Bravo star said she was “not equipped” to deal with feeling like she was being “ambushed” when walking settings for the show.
Kyle’s livestream on Tuesday came hours before this week’s RHOBH episode, which showed her having a breakdown and walking off set during a gathering with all the women.

“I’m not going to be made to feel like I’ve done something wrong,” Kyle said through tears during the episode, directing her ire toward Dorit. “I’ve loved you and your family. F— everybody, I’m done with this s—. I’m not doing this anymore.”
Kyle’s anger came after she was asked, once again, to read a specific text message that she previously sent to Dorit’s estranged husband, PK Kemsley.
“I know you have a lot of friends but I am also one and here if you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you have ever shared with me and never would. (Meaning you can trust me always),” the message read. “Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.”
Kyle Richards is opening up about having a very tough time while filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14. “That scene in particular, walking off. I just don’t feel like I was myself, and I don’t feel like I was strong enough,” Richards, 55, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the RHOBH premiere […]
During Tuesday’s episode, Kyle claimed that certain parts of the message (namely the “I’ve never repeated anything” line) was not about Dorit.
“I’m not proud of how I handled [walking off set], but I don’t regret walking out because I was not capable of dealing with that in my life at that point,” Kyle said during Tuesday’s livestream. “I honestly was at a breaking point, and that was it. When you’re going through a lot in your life, you go and you hang out with your friends to feel better.”
She continued, “Our lives are being followed so it’s a different circumstance. I get that, but I still thought I would feel supported in some way and I was just hurt.”
