Kyle Richards Apologizes for 'Housewives' Brawl with Sister Kim

Bravo's recent season finale episode of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' wrapped up with a shocking scene: Kyle Richards and her intoxicated sister Kim (both former child actors, and aunts to
Paris Hilton) tore into each other verbally, and just about came to blows inside their limo.
For days, fans of the typically frothy show have been buzzing about the dark episode. Did Kyle (pictured here, wearing pink) really call her sis "insane," "sick," a "liar" and "demented"? Did co-star Adrienne Maloof barely prevent a physical assault?
Now, Kyle is sorry for the blowup with Kim, who has since entered rehab. On her Bravo
blog, Kyle writes candidly about that night, and her bond with her sister.
"The events that transpired that evening were quite unfortunate and should never have occurred on, or off, camera," Kyle says in a statement released to Bravo. "We both said and did things that we regret. My sister and I love each other very much."
On her blog, Kyle says, "You may be thinking, 'You have a funny way of showing it.' And you're not wrong. However, our arguments were never about what was happening at
that moment. My mom used to say, 'They're crying about the apples, but it's really the oranges,' and that's exactly what was happening here."
"After this horrible argument between Kim and I, we didn't speak for a long time. My heart was broken and I suffered an incredible amount of anxiety and panic attacks. Next to losing my mother, this was the most difficult time of my life."
In her blog post, Kyle never indicates whether she's reconciled yet with Kim in person -- although she seems to speak for both when she says, "We want to move forward and put this behind us."
She continues, "It feels so strange to even refer to it as an 'episode.' This is my life. This is Kim's life. I wish we were just characters on television, but this is all too real. That night never should have happened. It was incredibly difficult to go through in the first place and it's even more difficult to watch and relive it."
The Richards sisters will likely relive, or at least address, the controversy on the series' reunion special, hosted by Andy Cohen, airing on Bravo this Thursday, Jan. 27 (9PM EST).

Damn Deelee, why are you yelling!? Calm down. If you were listening you would have also heard that Kim was force to support her entire family when she was a child star, as many child stars were forced to do.
She bought Kyle her first car and home back then. It's really funny how Kyle thought that Camille was being childish when she was ready to cut business ties with her husband after their arguement yet she turns right around and threatens to do the same thing to her own sister.
She was out of line and I'm sure her husband has probably checked her on her behavior because it could effect his business.
I had to wonder if she physically abuses Kim. Kim looked absolutely horrified when Kyle charged her in the limo. The way she cringed behind Adrianna was very disturbing.
First of all Taylor is so unhappy in her own life, she has to drag Kim Richards in to an argument @ her own party. Taylor is trouble. Kim is totally telling the truth! What's this crap w/being intoxicated - that was not evident at all! She was totally being attacked by all except for Adrienne and Lisa! Kyle is an awful sister. I do not know what sister would throw her sister under the bus like she did. She always gangs up on her. Whether or not Kim needs help Kyle, "blood is thicker than water"!! Your mother would be so dissappointed in your behavior!

I agree, Taylor is so unhappy in her life she totally tries to tear Kim down ever chance she gets. I have always like Kyle but I was really disappointed that she took Taylor's side without knowing what was really happening. It makes Taylor feel better about herself to pick on the weaker Kim.. I hope they have all watched these episodes play out on TV and realize who was really at fault for all this "pot stirring" that was going on all season.
Taylor creeps me out, there was an episode where she was trying to eat cotton candy suggestively.....she looked like a grouper.....ick.so not sexy.
Unless you have been in a position where you have had to take care of a family member with an addiction, you will never be able to understand the resentment that builds up trying to help someone who doesn't (or can"t) take care of themself.(before you say anything about Kim's alcoholism. it was established when she went to rehab) The feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. And it tears your heart apart to see a loved one go thru that. Kyle has already appologized for "losing it" so maybe we should give her a break. Until u r in her shoes...
Kim was very drunk,
This is just a stuipd show, with a bunch of women who have more money the sense.
Carol, while I agree with you to some extent I believe that Kyle had several opportunities (during the party and in the limo) to remove herself rather than escalating the drama.
Does not anyone see that this woman has major problems? She cannot even hold a conversation with the guy that Andrean tried to fix her up with, at Taylors party she turned her back and walked away with her friend, he stood there and rolled his eyes. When she should act mature she is afraid of confrontation, and acts like a child, her daughter didnt want her home the night b/4 she left but there she was Kim, dancing with KIDS at her daughters party. Grow up Kim, get the help you really need, it is so obvious.

You seem to be the one who can not see what's going on. First of all Adriene didn't set them up...Lisa did. Secondly, she's not interested in guy...okay! Let the girl find her own guy!
If in fact Kim has a problem with alcohol, it is a DISEASE!!! Would Kyle have done this to Kim if she had CANCER??? No excuse for Kyle's horrific behavior. She is a bully as well as Taylor who always stirs the pot. Kyle needs a shrink big time. She is the WORST one on the show and the way she treated her sister, there is no excuse. You do not treat anyone like that especially your sister who Kyle says she loves. Wonder how she would treat her if she hated her? All I can say is KARMA, it will bite you Kyle and I must say you deserve it.
THANK YOU!
She does not like the guy, can't you see that.
I agree... shes been very hostile and nasty and i think for her own happiness as well as her family she needs to try and work on her anger issues and her need to be controling. SHes got issues that need to be addressed before she ruins her relationship with her sister and God forbid someday with her children or husband.

Kyle is probably apologizing because her husband insist that she does. She (Kyke) portrayed this same bully, abusive, disgusting, insane, controlling, jealous behavior towards Camille, of whom is another case. Lisa, did not have to go there on that night. She should have been trying to enjoy her birthday party that her husband gave her. Again, Lisa is another case. She and Kyle are both heading in the same direction as Camille....DIVORCE COURT.
Kim, on the other hand does need help. She needs to do this on her own. And with the gentle, consoling help from family and friends that really love her. Kyle is jealous of Kim..... I did like Kyle at one point, but now, she is too close to the mirror not to see what others and her husban see.

You mean Taylor not Lisa. Lisa and Adrienne are the smarter ones.
She holds conversations with others. Perhaps she is not ready for a relationship just yet. She did say that the likes to be alone. People need to respect her privacy, you know its just like HIPPA.

Most alcoholics do like to be alone, when they can't admit they are alcoholics
