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 think Kim was provoked by all the women. But I agree, they are crying over apples and it's really about oranges. I think Kim and Kyle should put it behind them. It's obvious they are close and love each other. Don't forget, they know exactly how to edit things to make it look like they really had a troubled relationship. I don't believe that. I think they really care for one another. Move on girls!

I agree! Dysfunctional family at its best...
Anyway, Kyle is no worse than the rest of um. .. They just hide it better!
Kyle you actions were dispicable! Yelling and berating your sister for her problems, then you came at her menacingly and spewed more horrible things you may be sorry for now) that have no doubt formed a wound that will probably turn into a scar on her heart! To add injury to insult you let Duck Lips Taylor jump all over poor Kim -- she's just as pathetic as you! PS -- I think that the Psychic had it right -- "the blocks will be tumbling down on you" pretty soon -- no doubt "your own karma".

It seems that Kyle and her husband bought a home from a "Kathleen Richards" that was a "Richards Tr" in 2004. But do not live in it.
If so, then Kim wasn't lying but it also could mean they saved the house after their mother died as "Kathleen Richards" bought it in 1996 and maybe it was left to Kyle because the mom knew Kim was struggling.
Either way, there is a breaking point between these two and of course add in cameras and it is major toxicity waiting to happen as it did.
It is sad but this type of fighting happens everyday between siblings.

Aunts to Paris Hilton? Hmmmmm, that explains EVERYTHING, including their dysfunctionality.

Kyle, you should be apologizing to your sister first and foremost. Secondly, you better let your housewife sidekicks know that bullying Kim is no longer going to be tolerated, PERIOD.
I hope you've learned your lesson with the last episode. The public will turn against you immediately if you show cause.
Didn't use to like Camille... I think I've changed my mind.

Kyle is the sister from hell; agressive, manipulative, abusive.
From the beginning, she put her sister down, critising her at every turn, abusing her mentally, verbally, and I believe physically, as the scene in the limo shown-launching over Martin to start grabbing Kim, which was interrupted by Adrienne.
Kim was useful to Kyle while she had money, now - not so much anymore. Kyle should be ashamed, whether Kim has issues or not is the worlds right to know. Kim was not drunk arriving at the party, simply bubbly just once, knowing she looked pretty that night.
Kyle is a wannebee, trying to climb the socialite ladder, and uses Kim to bash when it suits her. Taylor or Shana her real name- don't me starter with this fishlip face. Her mouth, never mind.

could not have said it better!!!!!
I would like to know why the third sister doesn't help with Kim. The is Kathy Hilton, Kyle and Kim. Why should it all be on Kyle shoulders?
I still like Kim and I hope she gets the help she needs. Why to me do people want to get on National TV and air their dirty laundry is beyond me. Party, Plastic and Prada are these women. Sad when a dress means more to someone then a family.

I am so tired of Kyle. She really has an insecurity and anger issue. Kim has been consistent and genuine on the show. Why is Kim in rehab?? The one that needs rehab is Kyle...and they can leave her there. Shes an instigator and not healthy for the show. At least Adrienne is trying to keep the peace. Kyle u should take a step back and re-evaluate your life....the world does not evolve around u.

Please it is a T.V.Show, do any of you really take this seriously! Why would anyone put this stuff out there. Narcistic, Rich, Boring People! Camille is a gold digger and is f=doing what gold diggers do. No substance just fluff! Kelsie is good to get ride of the old and bring in the new! Really 4 nannies , she needs a reality check! Its all so superficial. Sorry for all of them, they need to know what reality is. And P.S. it is not their show!

I thought this Real Housewives show would be interesting & fun to watch. Had no idea it would turn into one fight after another! All the "fights" seem to occur when the "ladies" are drinking alcohol. 4 out of 6 of them appear to be alcoholics or at least have some kind of drinking problem. (My husband insists at least two of them appear to be drug users but I've never seen anything of that nature on the show. Just lots & lots of boozing.)

Kyle is not a bully. She is just a strong, confident woman. Kim is in pain. It's obvious. There's more to the story I am sure than what the cameras show. I thought Kim said to Kyle, "You stole my house." It sounds like in earlier times Kim supported Kyle. Then it sounds like in later times Kyle supported Kim. They both need to work it out. But a lot of families have disagreements, but they usually don't get put on film. The fakest person on the show is Camille. I think the rest of them aren't that bad.

It looks to me like Kim was ganged up on a bit, but not really by Kyle. Kim should have defended Kyle. However, the whole issue was between Camille and Kyle. And, Kim was right about what was said in the airport. Taylor was wrong. The film footage showed that. All of this big fight stems from Camille, and why everyone else gives a crap about what is going on with Camille is beyond me. She wasn't even missed at that party.

Did you notice that they were all arguing about Camille who wasn't even at the party! Camille is the problem. Not Kyle (who is confident) and Kim (who seems to have some low self esteem). Kim and Kyle are not bad people. They just need to work it out. Don't fight about Camille. She's not worth all the arguing!

ID DO BOTH OF THEM. THEY ARE BOTH HOT. AND KNOCK OF THE CRAP THAT THE OTHER LADY IN THE LIMO SHOULD OF STOPPED THE FIGHT. THATS BLOOD FEUDING AND ITS NO ONES BUSINESS. THATS ENTERTAINMENT

Why should we care at all what happens to any of these people? They're all part of a reality show! There's nothing worse on TV to waste viewing time than reality shows like this. A good example of just how far our viewing standards have lowered over the past couple of decades.
