Denise Richards Reacts To Kyle Richards’ ‘Ragamuffin’ Comment; Says “I Thought It Was Funny”

Denise Richards reveals what came across her mind when she saw Kyle Richards calling her a “ragamuffin” during last week's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The Wild Things actress has a sense of humor about her co-star's shady comments.

“It's funny, because when we do film the show, we're not always aware of what else is being filmed and what everyone has said,” said Denise told EXTRA. “I saw it watching the show that she had said that, I laughed, I thought it was funny.”

If you recall, on the May 6 episode of the Bravo hit reality series, Kyle got into it with many of her co-stars. When Denise tried to come to their defense, Kyle made some mean comments under her breath. “This one, who’s never worn anything but a f–king mop top ponytail her whole life,” she whispered to Sutton Stracke, before referring to Denise as a “ragamuffin.”

After the episode aired, the Starship Troopers actress took to Instagram to share a series of old magazine covers she has appeared on. “Going down memory lane with this #ragamuffin,” she wrote. “Just a few covers to share for #tbt.”

However, Kyle has since taken it back and publicly apologized to Denise in the comment section of her Instagram post. “Denise, you are absolutely beautiful. There is no doubt about that,” she wrote, explaining herself. “I was exhausted, emotional & felt everyone was coming at me. I got upset because I thought you of all people would get what I was saying because you yourself say you don’t get the glam thing and just wear a messy top knot. So I didn’t get the sudden change. With that said, I still regret that comment and was not the best version of myself that night. My apologies.”

Kyle also took to Twitter earlier in the week to explain herself as to why she called Denise a ragamuffin, writing, “My Mom used to call me that when I looked messy. She would say don’t run around like a ragamuffin. Doesn’t make it right that I said that. Not nice. Denise is beautiful no doubt. The margaritas, exhaustion & emotions not bringing out the best in me.”

Kyle added, “It's not a mean word but it wasn't said in a nice way. I was upset and the margaritas and exhaustion didn't help.”
