Kyle Richards is not as innocent as some of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans may believe when it comes to contributing to the Sutton Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff argument. The OG housewife has always slid under the radar, but it has been pointed out that Kyle isn’t always the most harmless. While she may try to mend fences, she also often finds herself knee-deep in trouble.
The Halloween star joined RHOBH back in 2010. Best known as the sidekick of RHOBH alum Lisa Vanderpump, fans watched as, over the years, Kyle stepped out of the shadows and started standing up for herself. While she rarely finds herself at the center of the ladies’ drama, Kyle often perches precariously around her circle of friends as they handle their arguments. As RHOBH season 12 started airing, some viewers wondered if Kyle wasn’t to blame for more than one offense taken, leading many to feel that the mother of four enjoys mixing in with the drama.
Kyle may be known for crying in situations that do not concern her, often making her come off as insincere. While the fight between Sutton and Crystal seems to have started to simmer down, Kyle did not help it by butting into the drama. In fact, many RHOBH fans started to point the finger at how Kyle actually fueled the fire when it came to Crystal’s deep-seated emotions. Crystal tried explaining how she felt shut down during RHOBH season 11 when the group was in La Quinta, telling the women, “You guys will never validate someone’s feelings unless you can understand it.” Instead of comforting her friend, Kyle chose to mock Crystal’s feelings blaming them on her being a “millennial.”
Kyle even had the nerve to call Crystal dramatic, which didn’t sit well with viewers. They pointed out how Kyle was overdramatic with her feelings when it came to Dorit Kemsley’s robbery and making it about her. Kyle is no stranger to involving herself in RHOBH’s drama. Whether she is gossiping or throwing friends under the bus, Kyle often comes off as sneaky. Crystal was not Kyle’s first victim. The reality star tried to have the entire group pick on Sutton while at her La Quinta home; ironically, Crystal shut it down. RHOBH fans are tired of Kyle policing the group and blowing up petty drama. Kyle’s passive-aggressive behavior and gaslighting are not going unnoticed, but maybe Kyle acts this way because she is a boomer.
For now, fans of RHOBH will have to keep an eye on Kyle and her wicked ways. The chances are high that she will try to draw a wedge between Crystal and Sutton for her own entertainment and the sake of the show. While Kyle used to be a fan favorite, she is slowly becoming the least favorite amongst viewers.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
