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).

i could tell first time looking at kim, she was an alcoholic. Watching her just confirmed it. Think of what brought kyle to this point, unless all of you live lucky lives that have never been touched by dealing with an alcoholic family member. My mother hates all HW shows but i made her look at kim without saying why and she immediately called it. You are far gone for it to affect your looks and kim is well on her irreversible way.

Kyle is seeking approval from the other ladies at the expense of of her sister Kim. Throughout the
show, Kyle has never stood up for Kim. Kim called you a phony and that hit a very sore spot, Kyle
does the truth hurt. In the limo Kyle was trying to over talk Kim, as Kim was venting her anger.
Kyle did you steal Kim's home as Kim lamented in the limo before you attacked her? Is this the reason Paris's mother appears to love you from a distance, I would!!!!

With Kyle, its always easier to ask for forgiveness instead of asking for permission. She does it, then says she's sorry. When will she learn?

What these people won't do for ratings, yes of course their back for next season.

I think Kim has a hard time with confrontation. Taylor is a trouble maker. Lisa is right when she says Taylor is not who she appears to be. However, it was Lisa's idea to confront Kim at the party. She said she did it to put the whole NY mess to rest. I think she had other motives. I think she wants Taylor to make trouble and be thrown out of the group. Lisa manipulated that whole incident and then tried to act like she was sorry it ever happened. Kyle should never have said any of that stuff she said to Kim. She was way out of line and throwing her mom's death in Kim's face was cruel.

I really felt bad for Kim when Kyle basically read her the riot act. Why is Kim on that show? She seems to be the only sincere housewife on the series. When Kim said to Kyle she took care of her and mother when she was a child star, Kyle did not want to hear it. The truth hurts I guess. The scene in the limo really got me anxious, very real...

Kim called out all the other women and voiced what the viewing audience feels like when they watch this. You can't stand these women - Kim is a real person and the other housewives, especially Kyle, don't want anyone to burst their self innvolved bubbles. Kim and Camille, of all people, showed the most humanity on the show. Kim, you're right, I wouldn't want to hang around Kyle, Taylor, Lisa or evern Adrienne - they just stir up trouble in people's lives because their own lives are so darn useless.

kim left the party after they all gained up on her. kyle had someone stop her, so she could go after her, and keep the drama
going.
taylor stirred the pot, and kyle hit the boiling point. and, frankly, if i had to spend the evening with those 2, i'd be drinking too.

AMEN!
I saw the love and resentment these sisters have for each other and I could relate. A glance and you know when your sister is drunk and it probably brought up bad memories for Kyle and made her say those awful things. We all say them when we're angry. It's easy to judge and call them trash and pretend you don't have this in your life. Really? They're the worst of America. Where have you been? Don't get out much? Then stop watching.

Kim has serious problems that need addressing by a therapist. She acts wierdly all the time. And now all of a sudden she was the breadwinner for the family and the rest of them did nothing. I don't think so. It's obvious she is a drinker by her very demeanor and the things she does. For someone who was such a "star" she has no self esteem at all and the booze does that do you.

Amen!!!
well then, now I know where Paris gets her nose from...the Richards side of the family.
Nasty, trashy show. Kyle is just like Paris...she thinks her crap doesn't stink.

Curious as to how Mauricio is taking all this. Mauricio has spent many years building a charming and serious reputation and within 2 months Kyle has managed to make him look like a fool for being married to her. My suggestion to Kyle is...think before you explode on someone. Remember, potential business may be taken from Mauricio because they don't want YOUR drama entering their business deals. Kyle, the world DOES NOT revolve around your every moment. PS You have 4 daughters watching you!!!

it seems to me that kim and kyle have some issues from childhood that needs to be address. they both need to go to therapy.

Thank you!!!
Lisa seems jealous of Kim and Taylor. Kim and Adrienne seem to be the only ones that aren't out for just themselves.

Lisa jealous???? of what????? Fake lips!!!! I don't think so.
Here's my prediction. Now that Camille is divorcing Kelsey, Maurico will leave Kyle for Camille. From what I have observed, he's attracted to Camille and was just looking for an excuse to leave Kyle..and now has one..(Kyle's bad behavior with her sister Kim on this last episode was the straw that broke the camel's back). I don't think it was his business relationship with the Grammers he was upset with Kyle about when she an Camille had their arguments..I think it was his attraction to Camille. Now that Camille stands to inherit mostly all of Kelsey Grammer's real estate investments, the attraction will be even greater!

Camille is having an affair with her little friend that she always has hanging around. Its SOOOOOOOO obvious. Not Mauricio. You should watch the shows again, so you can see what I mean. Its pretty obvious. Mauricio may not be loyal, but hes not fooling around with Camille. I can bet on that one.
