According to a new report, Kyle Richards and her sister Kathy Hilton are butting heads while filming the upcoming new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“There’s definitely been a clash of egos while filming,” an insider noted in the latest print issue of Life & Style magazine, according to Reality Blurb. “Kathy is a big personality and Kyle is petrified she’ll try to steal her thunder. The sibling rivalry is already intense and it’s bound to get worse!”
“Kyle adores her nieces, but she feels like Paris and Nicky can help increase Kathy’s popularity, especially if they make a lot of appearances on the show,” the insider added. “She’s scared that the Hiltons will push her out of the spotlight.”
Apparently, Kathy is considering becoming a full-time cast member, which reportedly is upsetting Kyle.
“Kyle is controlling and when she senses she’s losing power, she freaks out,” the source added. “But Kathy won’t tolerate anyone bossing her around, especially her younger sister. She does what she wants, when she wants.”
The insider continued about how Kyle is reportedly calling in reinforcements via the ladies’ middle sister Kim, hoping to gain some support.
“Kim is expected to make an appearance or two on season 11, just like she has on other seasons,” the source stated. “All three sisters constantly argue and will go for months without speaking, but Kyle and Kim are getting along at the moment and Kyle expects Kim to take her side with the Kathy situation. The producers are ready for it. The bigger the family drama, the higher the ratings!”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently filming season 11 which will see the return of Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, and Garcelle Beauvais. They will be joined by new cast member, Crystal Kung Minkoff, who is making history as the first Asian cast member.
Meanwhile, Kathy Hilton is also joining the series as the ‘friend’ for season eleven along with returning ‘friend’ Sutton Stracke.
