The Season 14 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion has gifted fans with plenty of drama, some answers, and even more questions. And host Andy Cohen wasn’t afraid to get in the mix. While Garcelle Beauvais felt the unpleasant sizzle of being in the hot seat, she wasn’t alone. Dorit Kemsley also received her fair share of grilling, as did Kyle Richards.
Of course, while fans wondered if Kyle and Dorit would mend their fractured friendship, one name repeatedly came up at the RHOBH reunion: Morgan Wade. Let me give you a quick download. As Kyle and her husband, Mauricio Umansky’s, marriage fell apart, rumors started about Kyle and her good friend, singer Morgan. Speculation swirled that they were romantically involved, while Kyle insisted that they were friends. Morgan even appeared in Season 13 of RHOBH, but she was missing from this season.
Well, with Morgan’s name on Garcelle and Dorit’s lips, Andy decided to get some details out of Kyle. So, how did Andy confront Kyle about Morgan at the RHOBH reunion?
Andy Cohen reminded Kyle Richards at the RHOBH reunions that viewers want more
It is no secret that RHOBH viewers were disappointed that Kyle didn’t share more about her separation from Mauricio during Season 13 of the show. Cameras picked up to film Kyle and Mauricio talking to their four daughters about their split. However, viewers were still in the dark about what happened and why.
Fast forward to Season 14 of RHOBH, and Kyle was more forthcoming during some awkward interactions with Mauricio. Plus, when photos dropped of him kissing a woman in an airport in Greece, Kyle was shocked. Spoiler alert: She was the only one. Kyle even filmed a therapy session and confided in Garcelle that she might be interested in dating women. I am here for Kyle growing and exploring, and it is great to see her opening up.
Still, at the RHOBH reunion, Andy told Kyle that fans felt that she could share more of her life. And Kyle got spicy. “I am not going to, for example, say something that is going to affect my daughters’ lives for a TV show, for a network, for fans,” Kyle stated, “for ratings ever.”
However, one person that Kyle refused to mention on camera was Morgan. She insisted that she wasn’t even going to mention her name during Season 14. This frustrated Garcelle, who felt like everyone else had to be open about their lives, but no one could question Kyle about Morgan. When Garcelle tried in Saint Lucia, Kyle shut her down by insisting that there was nothing to share.
Dorit Kemsley blames Kyle Richards’ friendship with Morgan Wade for their fractured relationship
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live last season, Dorit was asked how Kyle’s friendship with Morgan affected her relationship with Kyle. “I mean, she’ll kill me, but I feel like the closer she got with Morgan, the further she got from me,” Dorit stated at the time.
“But I don’t think I’m the only one. Sorry, Kyle. I love you.” She added, “It’s the truth; that’s how I feel.” Of course, it was obvious that Dorit was also jealous of Kyle’s closeness with the singer.
At the Season 14 reunion, Dorit stated that she felt that Morgan was angry with Kyle because of Dorit’s comments. And that contributed to their friendship falling apart. According to Kyle, she was distressed by Dorit’s comments on WWHL.
Plus, Kyle noted that Morgan wasn’t the reason that she pulled back from Dorit. However, she didn’t share why she felt the need to distance herself from her former bestie. Shocker. And Kyle insisted that the singer wasn’t furious at her. In the end, Kyle apologized to Dorit.
During the second part of the reunion, Dorit and Kyle decided to try and talk everything out off-camera. Wow. That’s no fun for the viewers! After a tumultuous season, it was probably the most that we could have hoped for.
Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade’s music video was brought up by Andy Cohen at the RHOBH reunion
Well, Andy wasn’t about to let Kyle off the hook when it came to Morgan. Kyle admitted that she felt “guilty” about involving her in the reality show. The experience gave Morgan “anxiety, and she doesn’t want to be a part of that.”
So, Andy mentioned that she is a successful country music singer who “performs publicly.” However, Kyle stated that the “Housewives fandom” is “a very different vibe.”
Still, Andy didn’t give in. “With singing and performing comes speculation about your life. You know, you put music videos out there,” Andy said. “She’s also experienced, I would think, greater publicity and greater attraction and interest as a result of this.”
Of course, Dorit chimed in, remarking that Morgan became a “household name” after being on RHOBH. “Guys, listen,” Kyle said, “everyone has a different perspective.” Meanwhile, Andy’s facial expressions did all the talking for him.
Andy stated, “I do just want to point out, putting out a music video that is like the two of you as lovers. It contributed so mightily to a conversation that was already a runaway train, and that was totally in her hands, I have to say,” he added. But Kyle said that the decision was also hers.
“It’s like, at some point, you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” Andy said. Awkward! Plus, in one of my favorite moments from Part 2 of the reunion, Sutton Stracke whispered, “Was there cake involved in that video?”
The music video, Fall in Love with Me, showed the duo acting like lovers. It was certainly steamy, so the pair had to know that a tidal wave of headlines was coming their way.
In the end, Andy held Kyle’s feet to the fire and tried to get some details about Morgan. I’m sure Kyle wasn’t thrilled. Recently, Morgan and Kyle were spotted in Scotland, where Morgan was playing some shows. Interesting…
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
