I cannot help wondering if Bravo is paying Kim Richards for being the constant story line during this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season. Kim isn’t even a cast member anymore and has only made a couple appearances, but it seems like Lisa Rinna and Eden Sassoon cannot keep her name out of their mouths.
This puts Rinna‘s bestie, Eileen Davidson, in a tough spot when it comes to Kim. Not only that, but Eileen had issues of her own with Kim two seasons ago. Rinna wasn’t the only cast member Kim was yelling at when the group took that trip to Amsterdam. Now, Eileen is over the Kim talk, and she’s not automatically taking Lisa’s side when it comes to this never-ending feud. Still, Eileen insists her friend is “really trying” to not talk about Kim, which I find extremely tough to believe.

To be honest, I don’t get why Lisa Rinna is a Housewife. She barely hosts any events and she has no story lines of her own other than stirring the pot. I don’t blame Kyle Richards for wanting her to “sew her lips shut.”
Eileen opened up about being in an awkward place when it comes to Rinna and Kim’s interaction during a recent interview with The Daily Dish. Eileen explained that time really does seem to heal old wounds when it comes to her previous beef with Kim, “I felt like whatever happened two years ago, I had a reason for saying what I said, which really wasn’t that much of a big deal.” Tell that to Rinna.
Rinna and Eden will not stop talking about Kim and questioning her sobriety even though neither of them are at all close with her and she’s not even a cast member on RHOBH. I wish they would follow Eileen’s lead on this one and just stop talking shit about Kim. Eileen admitted, “I’m not seeing any problems. She seems happy and healthy, and I celebrate that. I’m happy for her. I’m ready to move on from that. I don’t want to drag this woman down. She’s been through Hell. She’s doing great, I want to applaud that. So to be talking about it, I’m just like, ew.” Exactly. Rinna and Eden using Kim‘s life for their own screen time is the epitome of “ew.”

The part where I find it hard to agree with Eileen is when she tries to group Lisa in with her as someone who has moved on from talking about Kim. It is not just Eden who won’t drop the Kim sobriety topic. It is Rinna too. And it can be argued that Rinna is the one that instigated Eden’s curiosity when it comes to this.
Eileen insists, “[Lisa] goes, ‘I just don’t want to be involved in this. I’m walking away.’ We both kind of felt like, you know what, Eden’s going too far with this.” RIGHT. It’s the perfect time for Lisa to “walk away” now that she has completely set up Eden to attack her enemy. Lisa can just run over to Kyle to console her over the Kim gossip and let Eden do all of the dirty work while Lisa “forgets” what she said in conversations with Eden.
Eileen continued, “Lisa said some things I didn’t even know she said until later, and that was unfortunate, because it kind of brought all the Kim stuff up again, but I think she’s really trying to move on.” Yeah, I don’t know about that. I feel like it isn’t too difficult to stop talking about someone, especially when there are reality TV cameras and angry social media users to keep you in check.

I know Eileen is trying to be a good friend to Rinna here, but Rinna needs to dig herself out of this one and live up to her own personal mantra and “own it” when it comes to all of the trash talking and pot stirring she did about Kim.
Maybe Kyle is not enabling Kim’s sobriety, but Eileen is enabling Rinna’s pot stirring and desperation? That sounds like a logical argument to me.
At the very least, Eileen isn’t just blindly supporting Rinna’s point of view when it comes to Kim. Eileen said, “Lisa makes her own choices. I don’t agree with everything she does. I can sometimes understand why she does it, but I am not Lisa, and Lisa’s not me. So, if she had a differing opinion of what I did or said, I would completely understand and never expect her to back me up on it.”
Again, I just want to know if Kim is getting paid for providing so much content for RHOBH this season because she is the center of attention even when she’s not in the scenes.
