Kyle Richards Wants Lisa Rinna To Take Responsibility For Her Words

We’re getting down the end of this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and it pains me to say it, but I’m not that sad to see it go this time. I’m not giving up hope on the show itself, but this season was hijacked by Yolanda Foster’s “journey” and it’s a ride I didn’t enjoy. She should’ve sat this one out and focused on healing so we could’ve been more focused on the fabulous lives of the wealthy and witty housewives of Beverly Hills. And before you say “if it wasn’t for Yolanda, there would’ve been no storyline!,” realize that they shoot thousands of hours before it reaches the editing room and there would have been PLENTY of fun things to string together to take the season in a different direction. In any event, this is what we have to deal with and let’s see it out til the end and hope that next season finds a new focus (but please do not let it be the return of you-know-who)!

This week Kyle Richards gives her side of things on what Lisa Rinna had to say/accuse in Dubai. Needless to say, Kyle is not in agreement with Rinna.

Kyle shares, “We flashback to the scene on the beach with Lisa Rinna and Eileen. I want to address that since I have yet to. I was totally taken aback by that conversation. It was obvious that Lisa Rinna was trying to pass the blame on Lisa Vanderpump and me for the Munchausen conversation.” 

She continues, “First of all, I didn’t know what Munchausen’s was until Lisa Rinna said that word to me. I thought it was something that had to do with children. She explained what it was, and I was surprised she said that and put it out there for everyone to hear. I have been forthcoming about the fact that I did, indeed, comment on Yolanda’s excessive and dramatic Instagram posts. However, I did NOT start NOR encourage Rinna to discuss Munchausen’s and have zero knowledge about a conversation between Rinna and LVP discussing bringing up the Munchausen topic prior to that day at LVP’s house. So WHY was my name brought up that day on the beach? Because I had made comments about the Instagram posts? Why wouldn’t Rinna take responsibility for the words that came out of HER mouth? If we are going to discuss things that were actually discussed in private (i.e. the Instagram posts) then I will tell you that I ran into Lisa Rinna the day after that aired, and she apologized to me for saying that and said she explained in her blog. It will also be addressed at the reunion.”

Kyle says that everyone was talking about Yolanda’s illness but Rinna was responsible in the Munchausen situation. “I am thoroughly confused by Rinna’s comments. In her interviews she says that LVP and I had been talking about Yolanda’s illness (everyone was) and that when SHE brought up Munchausen we were happy that she did because we didn’t want to “get dirty” and wanted her to take the fall. SHE brought up Munchausen, not US. And while we had discussed what else could be contributing to her Lyme disease and commented on her selfies, we had never used or heard anyone else use the word Munchausen until Lisa Rinna brought it up. She admits herself that came from her hairdresser. So why is she saying that we didn’t want to get dirty? Why can’t she just own that she said that? It seems she wanted to put that out there and then when she got heat for it decided she would drag us into it as well. I even tried to defend her with Yolanda saying Rinna said she had participated in a conversation and felt bad about it.” I think Rinna’s main issue is everyone backing away and acting like they never questioned Yolanda’s illness – not just the Munchausen conversation piece of it.

Kyle then tries to explain that scene about the conversations with LVP and Rinna and LVP and Kyle and let’s not rehash it because it gives me a headache.  She does say that she’s not sure why Lisa R. waited so many months to bring it up, “I just don’t know why Lisa Rinna waited all this time to bring it up and why she wanted me to be upset along with her. I don’t feel the need to explain myself or my friendship with LVP. Things aren’t always perfect but we care about each other and have more fun together than anyone else. She’s important to me and this issue just wasn’t. I am not up LVP’s ass like Rinna said. Why would I be? She doesn’t pay my bills. I don’t like to have problems with ANY friend I care about. That’s not kissing ass. Maybe that’s how Rinna operates. I don’t.”

Kyle addresses what Lisa said, “Rinna said in her interview that I let her “take the fall” and that is not a good friend. SHE is the one that partook in the Munchausen conversation with her hairdresser, and SHE chose to bring it up. What did she want me to do? I defended her with Yolanda as best I could, even though I didn’t agree with her choice to bring that up. And why does she say in her interviews that LVP and I were happy that she brought up Yolanda and backed off as soon as she brought it up? It is one thing to discuss something amongst friends privately and a completely different thing to bring it up in this forum where we know it will become a very big issue and damaging to Yolanda.”

She ends with, “Lisa Rinna needs to own what SHE said and put out there, not point fingers hoping to diffuse what SHE did.”

Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The ladies will be saying goodbye to Dubai, but not before yet another tense dinner.  Oh yeah, and Yolanda goes on that picnic with Kim and Brandi.

“The women continue their vacation in Dubai and enjoy some retail therapy at an over-the-top mall. Lisa Vanderpump attempts a new apology to Eileen on top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Erika gives Kathryn a birthday makeover compliments of her glam squad and all the ladies experience an extravagant yet tense dinner on a yacht in Dubai harbor. Back in Beverly Hills, Yolanda has a picnic with Kim and Brandi.”

TELL US – ARE YOU SICK OF THE LYME STORYLINE TAKING OVER THE SHOW THIS SEASON? OR AM I JUST BEING A CRAB-ASS? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE AND LESS OF NEXT SEASON?
