Every family has their issues, but not every family has to confront said issues on national television.
Such is the case for Kyle Richards, who admitted in a new interview that filming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her sisters—Kim Richards throughout seasons one through five, and Kathy Hilton during the past two—is "difficult," to say the least.
"When my sister Kim was on, it was great, and then it was awful," Kyle said during an appearance on The Morning Show on July 19. "It was one of the worst times on the show for me, ever."
The Beverly Hills O.G. didn't go into detail during her visit to the Australian talk show, but one of RHOBH's most jaw-dropping moments can be traced back to season one when Kyle, mid-fight with Kim, outed her as an alcoholic. So when The Morning Show host Larry Emdur asked if Kyle's ever regretted showing "too much" of her life, she naturally answered yes. "Absolutely," Kyle said. "But they're following us around, they know what's going on in our lives behind the cameras. And inevitably it always comes out, but that is what it is. That's part of the downside."
The hard times didn't end when Kim left the show in 2015, though. "With Kathy, I was like, 'It's gonna be great, we're gonna have fun,' and we really did last season," Kyle explained. "And of course, something happened this season but we are sisters, we're blood, so we'll always come back together again at the end of the day."
Kyle and Kathy have both admitted that they had a falling out while filming RHOBH season 12—some of which was teased in the season's trailer—but when Kyle's childhood friend Lorene Shea passed away in May, they were able to set aside their differences.
"This whole situation of losing my best friend Lorene, my sisters and I are speaking again because they've also known Lorene since she was seven," Kyle said on Watch What Happens Live. "So life works in funny ways."
Kathy is set to make her season 12 debut on the upcoming July 20 episode of RHOBH.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
