Kyle Richards Says Lisa Vanderpump Is "Not Being Bullied Or Excluded"

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Kyle Richards is optimistic that her long-time friendship with co-star Lisa Vanderpump can withstand all the crazy drama taking place on Season 9 of the show. Their friendship has been a staple on the series and is one of my favorite relationship on Beverly Hills.

There have been reports that Lisa has stopped speaking with all the other Housewives, including Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, and Teddi Mellencamp. The one exception? Newbie Housewife Denise Richards. It seems that Lisa and Denise have maintained a relationship and continued to film together.

Kyle told US Weekly, “I love her, I really do. We have fun together, so we shall see.” There have been no solid spoilers, but apparently the other Housewives caught Lisa V. in a lie, and that is another source of the drama and frosty relations. There are also reports that Kyle engaged in a screaming match with Lisa’s husband, Ken Todd, during a party at the couple’s home. The argument was so intense that Ken decided that Kyle was no longer welcome in their home. Yikes! That must have been some fight. I wonder if the cameras were filming? Let’s hope so.

Bravo has not announced the start date for Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but it sounds like it is going to be fantastic! Still, Kyle wants fans to know that Lisa is not being excluded from any of the Beverly Hills Housewives’ events.

She told Us Weekly, “There has not been any event that she’s not been invited to. So, if she’s not there, it’s because it’s her choice. So, I mean, I love Lisa and I have to respect that it’s her choice.”
