Kyle Richards reacted to Dorit Kemsley and Sutton Stracke‘s plastic surgery feud while attending Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in Miami over the weekend.
After her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates sparred publicly over their appearances, Kyle, 55, slammed their back and forth as “ugly” and “below-the-belt” while also explaining her decision to return for season 14, addressing season 15, and reacting to the return of her sister, Kathy Hilton, 65.
“I do not like when anybody talks about people’s looks or their financial situations. It’s ugly,” Kyle said on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast at Bravo’s Fan Fest in Miami on November 23. “Listen, I’ve had my arguments. We disagree on the show, but I don’t do ugly. I don’t hit below the belt. I don’t like that.”
As RHOBH fans may have seen, Sutton, 53, played a game of “Who Am I Even?” on MTV UK with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Lisa Barlow, 49. During the game, she held up a photo of Dorit, 48, as Lisa gave her clues, including, “she holds grudges,” and, “she lives way above her means.”
“She’s pretty, though,” Lisa added, prompting Sutton to get shady with her response.
“When you’ve had enough surgery anybody can be pretty,” Sutton noted.
A short while later, while appearing on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, Dorit clapped back.
“Why hasn’t Sutton done it then?” she wondered. “She has the money, right? She can afford … plastic surgery, so why hasn’t she done it if it is that easy? I’m just curious.”
In other Kyle Richards news, the longtime reality star was seen on stage at Bravo Fan Fest, where she answered questions from audience members, one of whom asked her about her future on the show.
“That’s a very big question. I almost didn’t come back this season, but then I honestly, it’s a very big part of my life,” she admitted, via Bravo on Instagram. “I started the show when Portia was in diapers and sleeping in a crib. You saw season one, I was laying in a crib with her trying to get her to sleep, and now we’re gonna be touring colleges in the spring. So it’s a big part of my life, and we really are a family, so it would’ve been another loss for me, and I was scared to have things be so quiet for me, especially with [Mauricio Umansky] and [Alexia Umansky] out of the house.”
“I thought, ‘Wow, my life is gonna get real quiet, and I don’t think I can handle that right now,’” she continued, signaling her 2023 separation from Mauricio, 54.
As for season 15, she added, “I don’t know the future right now, but listen, I’m very grateful to Bravo and the people I work with because it’s done amazing things for me and opened a lot of doors for me. It’s been obviously very emotional at times and very, very difficult, but overall, it’s been a great experience.”
Also, during the convention, Kyle was asked about Kathy returning to RHOBH in a “friend” role.
“It was great to have my sister back,” she revealed. “I really appreciated having her support this season. She spent the entire season trying to make me laugh, which I did appreciate. Sometimes I wasn’t in the mood to laugh, but she was a great source of support, and, as always, makes everybody laugh and is always a good time.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
