"I think she's worse than Camille."
I've been thinking that for a number of weeks now. She is coming off as an entitled bully, able to get away with it her whole life because she is pretty. And to call her sister an alcoholic in front of others and the camera was unforgivable. Kyle just had to have an audience for her performance.
I feel very disappointed in Kyle. I liked her in the beginning, but I agree that last night she went way over the line.
Does anyone know how I can get a hold of Cedric and let him know that although I don't have a mansion, he can come and live with me?!?
LOL, Sally! He's a hottie that's for sure!
Having dealt with a situation in my own family very similar to what Kyle and Kim are going through, I wouldn't be so quick to call her disloyal. Kim appears to essentially be a 45-year-old child who can barely hold it together, let alone take care of four children. Add a drinking problem to that and you have one ugly mess. Kyle and Mauricio have apparently been supporting Kim for years; according to something I read online, they send her money every month and probably pay some of her bills. Demanding that Kim be checked into rehab doesn't seem to be a rash or heartless move. And there usually does come a point when you have to get someone the help they need and if they don't accept it, you have to cut them out of your life. I don't mean to sound harsh, but until you've been in such a situation you cannot really understand.
Apparently, Kim checked herself out of rehab a week after being checked in. I wonder if she has remained sober.
I think it's a bit harsh to judge a forty plus year relationship on a few hours of edited footage. Kim alluded to the fact that she was the bread winner for the entire family when she was a kid and Kyle did say that they were helping to support her now. I hope they work it out. The wrap up should be interesting next week.
I understand exactly what you are saying, but to call her out like that on national television was what I felt was going over the line.

My opinion of Kyle was formed prior to last night's episode. I know someone who is identical to Kyle. She can be charming, fun, etc. But she can also be a pitbull. She has to be right. She has to have the last word. Kyle stuck a fork in Kim. This wasn't a one-off for Kyle, imo.
I was the lone voice from day one who disliked Kyle. She is rotten and fronts like she is Miss Perfect, but she has an ugly heart. The minute someone disagrees with her, she is venomous and she has been abusive to Kim from day one-extending her hand to her one day and shaming her the next.
Kim made me sad. It is very possible Kim supported that family and like most child stars never learned to cope or mature properly. She may self medicate with alcohol. Kyle was rotten to call her sister an alcoholic on camera, even if she is one.
To be honest, I also always had a soft spot for Camille. Yes, she appears vapid, but she honestly stood by Kelsey through his many relapses and took care of business when he was ill and in rehab and recovery. She isn't some arm candy. She is intelligent and committed to her family. Kelsey is a pig. He treated her so coldly and poorly when he was on the show.
So I have to say at this point my most liked wife is Adrienne and Camille is second. Kim I just feel badly for. I hope she heals.
I was right there with you about Kyle.
From my first post I have disliked her and her feeling of superiority.
I thought Camille was too full of herself in the beginning, but watching her suffer has brought me absolutely no joy. In fact, I don't care to continue watching the Housewives franchise...
I just don't like to see the levels of crazy and suffering. I think I've had my fill.
Bettyboy: What do you think about Lisa? She's the only one I enjoy.
I dislike Kyle, and think she is a fame whore and kinda unattractive...I like her husband though. LOL!
But I think her and her sister have a horrible addiction of having children when they are not ready mentally for it.
I think they are related to the Hiltons, so I doubt that Kim supported the family when she was a working child actor.
But I haven't watched every episode, I think these ladies are trash and they all look like they've had too much (bad) plastic surgery.
They are only related to the Hiltons through Kathy's marriage. When they were growing up they were not related to the Hiltons.
Oh, I had no idea. I barely watched a few episodes, I just watched that Camille dinner party and I feel that her and her medium friend were very inappropriate. These women are trash! All of them, except for Lisa and Taylor. Those two are ok. LOL!
I will always have a soft spot for Kim. She was "my" Disney star when I was growing up. Sounds like she had a hard life after growing out of show business. She doesn't come across like a gold digger like Camille or Taylor though. Lisa is my favorite- she's the classiest and she's gorgeous. I did not watch the reunion because I didn't want to see all the drama.

Psh, I still love Kyle! And Lisa.
Everyone else can just choke. (I didn't mean that)
Lisa is another woman I don't care for. She falls into the same category as Kyle for me. A little too pretty and perfect and polished for my taste. She rings inauthentic. I think she is very judging and only acts nice to get information.
I think we got a taste of this when Lisa wanted Kyle to drop Taylor and Kyle was having none of it. Lisa was so irritated that someone wasn't taking her orders.
I've read many negative reviews of her restaurant and several where she was seen on the floor screaming at employees. I think that is the true Lisa.
I sense she is a tyrant and a bitch behind closed doors.
Yes, muscle, Kathy Hilton is their sister (Paris and Nicki's mom). She married whatever Hilton (I don't know his first name). And in reading my previous post to you about it I realize it sounded sort of snotty. Sorry, I didn't mean it to.
Don't worry!
To clear things up regarding the Richards sisters:
Kathy Avanzino now Kathy Hilton is the eldest daughter of Laurence K. Avanzino and Kathleen Dugan. Avanzino and Dugan divorced and Dugan married Kenneth E. Richards and then gave birth to Kim (1964) and then Kyle (1969). Kathy then took her step-father's last name when she went into acting. Kim entered the business later and then Kyle followed with Kim enjoying the most success of the three sisters.
Kathy later married her childhood sweetheart, Hilton hotel heir Richard Hilton in 1979. She is the mother of Paris Hilton, Nicholai "Nicky" Hilton, Barron Hilton II and Conrad Hughes Hilton III.

I watched this particular "Housewives" franchise mainly because I had a crush on Kim Richards when I was a kid. What went down at the very end between her and her sister Kyle was truly ugly, sad and pathetic.
You can tell those two sisters have some deep, dark secrets between them. Kim yelling "You stole my house!" out to Kyle during the argument leads me to believe this.
It was totally sad to watch her sitting alone in that limo in tears.

I guess I watched a different show. Although none of these women are saints, the only thing Kyle did wrong was call her sister an alcoholic in public...especially since she believed Kim was drinking. You NEVER confront a drunk when they are under the influence. Clearly she's had to take care of Kim, who seems like a handful. It seems to me that Kyle has held it together alot for Kim emotionally...and the dam burst.
The "You stole my house!" line made it clear to me...that Kim is still a child and that these two have a whole lifetime of crapola that should be addressed by a therapist.
The only one I was truly mad at was Taylor. Why the eff did she go over and attack Kim like that at her own damn party? I suspect it was a nudge from the producers, and they got their blowup. Lisa was right, she's an instigator. I suspect it makes her feel better about her crappy marriage....nice toast for her, huh?
As for Camille, I dont feel so sorry for her because she's shown so much ugliness that I cant trust what she's saying. She claims that Kelsey kept her prisoner, but I just am not seeing it. I go back to that awkward pillow fight when she and the kids visited Kelsey...dont tell me she didnt see it coming.
Of course, cheating with a flight attendant makes him a pig...but what drove that? I dont know, but with Camille, I kind of dont care either.
I heard on the news (I can't remember where it was) that they are banning smoking electronic cigarettes in restaurants. Why? It's steam.
I thought Kyle was a stone cold b*tch on the reunion show last night. Quite frankly, I'm at the point I want to kick every one of them in the ass. Except old Tinsel Hair. I like her.
