Kyle Richards’ text messages with PK Kemsley didn’t start her feud with Dorit Kemsley, but it’s not helping the women mend fences.
The January 7 episode of RHOBH ended with the two women screaming at each other after it was revealed that Kyle had texted with PK following his separation from Dorit. The fight bled into the beginning 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 exact text she sent PK after his separation statement went public.
“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 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 think that if you’ve ever cared about somebody that much, I think there’s always room for repair, assuming they haven’t done something horrendous to each other,” Kyle, 55, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting RHOBH […]
The other woman weighed during their respective confessionals.
“Wait a minute, this is not just about memes and jokes. This is serious talk,” Sutton said.
“So they have shared things about Dorit or relationship[s] or whatever that no one else knows about,” Garcelle added. “All this time, Kyle is really 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 is all I f—ing said. Now I am done. I’m not going to be made to feel like I’ve done something wrong,” Kyle said through tears in the clip, before speaking to Dorit directly. “I’ve loved you and your family. 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 know that they’re in a good place now […]
Kyle previously told Us Weekly exclusively in November 2024 about walking off the RHOBH set — which was teased in the season 14 trailer.
“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,” she shared. “Honestly, to be shooting the show at that time, I just really needed the woman to kind of be there for me and support me. And obviously I didn’t feel that at all, 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 was at a point where I was so depressed, frankly. I’m not someone who gets depressed,” Kyle explained. “I’ve had anxiety my entire life but never depression, and I really felt like I was struggling with depression and I expressed that. And I just felt like I could not go into scenarios all the time 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.
