Kyle Richards Hopes She And Lisa Vanderpump Can Be Friends Despite RHOBH Drama And Addresses Season 9 Rumors!

Kyle Richards is sharing new details about the upcoming ninth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “I always say, when it's crazy TV, it's really bad for us,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “'Cause that means a lot of stress for the cast, but hey, hopefully you guys will like it.”

Multiple outlets have reported that Lisa Vanderpump has gone MIA and is refusing to film with her co-stars. So what does Kyle has to say about the rumors?

“I mean, well... that's a question you have to ask her!” Richards says when asked what went down. “All l I know is, I love Lisa. We've been friends for many years. We started the show together. We're the two last originals left from the cast, and I love her. If she needs to take her time to, you know, step away for whatever reason, you know, all I know is, we've all reached out to her. We've all included her. We've all wanted her to be there and included. The ball's in her court, I guess, you know? It's up to her.”

She continued: “Because everything's wrong!” Richards says about the rumors of the RHOBH ladies not inviting LVP to cast events including Camille Grammer's wedding. “And there's stories about, that we haven't invited her, that we haven't included her. That's not true! She's been included, invited to everything. So, we're like, no. No, that's not what's happening here. So, you feel the need to defend yourself when you see stories like that, or comments. People, I'm like, where are they getting this from?! That's not true. That didn't happen. Sometimes we can't resist clapping back, what can I say?”



“I'd like her to be around,” Kyle told Entertainment Tonight. “You know, selfishly, I like being with Lisa. We have fun and we laugh together. So, yeah. I'd like her to be there, you know? I always, I've always wanted to do the show with Lisa.”

Kyle hopes that her friendship with LVP can survive the drama of the Bravo hit reality series. “You know? I love her, I really do. She’s a good friend of mine for many years and I love doing the show with her and I hope so. We have fun together, laugh together, so we shall see,” she told Us Weekly.

Kyle insists that it's LVP's choice not to attend events. “I keep seeing stories out there that she’s not been invited and excluded. She’s invited to every single thing that we’re … everyone’s been invited to everything,” Richards told the publication. “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.”

She added: “People speculating or people saying, ‘Oh, she’s being bullied or excluded’ is not true. That’s not the case at all. So they’re going to have to watch this season and see themselves, but, you know, she’s always included, and I guess if she wants to come around and show up, she will.”
