Watch: Kyle Richards Shares Dating Update 2 Years After Mauricio Umansky Separation
Kyle Richards is being honest about her biggest low on Bravo.
The Real Housewife of Beverly Hills (who is the last OG standing among the current cast) confessed that one of the moments that made the show famous is also the one she regrets the most because of how it impacted her sister Kim Richards.
“In season one, in the back of the limo with my sister [Kim], the world saw a traumatic family dynamic,” Kyle told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Aug. 3. “I stilI get teary watching it.”
The 57-year-old referenced an infamous scene—during a limo ride with castmate Adrienne Maloof—in which Kyle and Kim got into a clash that ultimately led the Halloween actress to disclose on camera that her sister was an alcoholic, which Kim later confirmed during season two.
At the time, amid the argument, Kyle called Kim “sick” and “an alcoholic,” adding that, “I’ve said it now, and everybody knows.”
When looking back on the admittedly painful interaction now, Kyle remarked that she “would never handle it that way today.”
Indeed, the exchange that began as a verbal back and forth escalated into an altercation after Kyle took issue with Kim’s claim that her younger sister and her husband Mauricio Umansky were taking advantage of a family vacation home, a point of contention that remained active for several seasons.
Still, Kyle has been able to gain perspective on the situation, allowing her to see where she wishes her approach would’ve been different.
“I wouldn’t lunge at Kim in the limo,” Kyle explained. “I also understand alcoholism differently now. And I’ve learned to confront people constructively.”

And the Bravolebrity—who joins Porsha Williams, Vicki Gunvalson, Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow and Luann de Lesseps for Ultimate Girls Trip season five, timed with the Real Housewives’ 20th anniversary—said the lesson about life in front of the camera took time to learn, even after growing up in a Hollywood family including sister Kathy Richards.
As Kyle put it, “It took me 15 years on the show, with everyone watching.”
