We start this episode with Andy asking a stupid question. Raise your hand if you are shocked. I see no hands. He asks Eileen why such an awarding winning actress would do RHOBH. Um, Andy, you pay these hyenas way more than actual trained actors make. Which by the way is the whole OPPOSITE of the point of doing reality TV shows. They are supposed to work for peanuts.
They play a montage that is heavy on the fact that Eileen has an Emmy. Both Kim and Brandi are throwing up a little bit in their mouths. THIS is what jealousy looks like. A viewer ask, “You were a fan of Eileen before the show, what do you think of her without a script.” Brandi says, “I don’t really think of her.” You know except for every waking moment. Eileen was said she thought Brandi was funny when they first met and then the wine toss just put a kink in things. Eileen says that there were many ramifications about Brandi’s comments about her being a homewrecker. People started calling Vince’s ex-wife trying to get tabloid stories. She had to have unpleasant conversations with her children. Brandi seems incredulous that her behavior had ramifications for Eileen. Brandi says it was always already on the Internet. Eileen says that she is great friends with Vince’s ex-wife. Eileen tells Brandi to shut the fuck up. They exchange several rounds of fuck yous! Eileen is on the verge of tears. Brandi looks awful and not just on the exterior. Brandi goes in on LVP about being friends with Kyle. Lisa Rinna and Brandi are arguing at a decibel only dogs can hear. Rinna freaks out and says that Brandi needs to be shut down. Brandi says Rinna needs to change her Depends because she is so full of shit. This is too much to give you all the blow by blows but it is bang away on Brandi time and not in the way she is used to. Rinna says fuck you (that is two housewives to tell her that within five minutes.) Brandi makes another Depends jab and Rinna responds with, “Where is your tampon endorsement!” I die.

I can’t ABIDE listening to Brandi’s defensive voice. It is so high-pitched it hurts to listen. Kyle points out that Brandi has had a problem with everyone on the show and tons of housewives from other franchises. Kim keeps defending Brandi even after being reminded of the crystal meth incident. A viewer points out that Eileen has everything Brandi wants and she is just jealous.
(omitted the kids stuff)
Time to talk about Kim. Rinna says that when Kim came to her house on poker night she knew she was high. Kim tells the bronchitis and pneumonia story. Then she tells a very odd version about what happened at the poker party. She argues with everyone about it despite admitting to being “accidentally” on something. Kim says it was not a slip and it was not a relapse. Apparently, it was not a relapse because “she had a reason.” Rinna brings up the lunch with Brandi. Brandi says that she did not bring up Kim first at the lunch. They show the clip where she does exactly that. Unfortunately, during the reunion, the ladies don’t see that. Kim says she saw the scene. I don’t believe her. Kim launches into how hard she has worked for the last three years on her sobriety and she is not going to let Rinna destroy that. Kim says she doesn’t feel like she owes Rinna or Eileen and apology. Kim is pissed that everyone wanted Kim to eat some pizza before she left the poker party. Kim thinks that means they wanted her to be on camera longer to embarrass her. Another verbal barrage of fuck yous and shutups is exchanged between Rinna and Kim.

It’s time to talk about Kim going after Harry. What did Harry do? Rinna says that Kim is welcome to tell the world what Harry did. Kim won’t say what Harry did because there is nothing to say.
We move on to the battle of the wine tossings. Which was worse. Brandi is losing her mind. She clearly did not take enough Xanax for this. Brandi is furious with everyone telling Rinna that she committed assault and battery. Brandi is insane. Has she been drinking? Kim is pissed about everyone comforting each other about the glass breaking incident instead of her. Kim actually apologized to Eileen for calling her a beast.
So many commercials tonight. There are six minutes left and I am all caught up still. Four minutes left and commericals still going. Are we done with this episode?
Final scene and Kim says that Kathy is on her side about the dinner in Amsterdam. Kyle says that Kim never defends her from Brandi and points out she just stands there and watches it. Kyle tells Brandi that she deliberately caused problems between Kim and Kyle. Kim and Kyle decide they don’t want to reconcile. Kyle says she can disinvite her from her daughter’s wedding. She is very emotional about Kim trying to take Kim’s kids away from Kyle.
Next week: It looks like Rinna sent a threatening tweet to Kim. And Kim makes light of the dog bite as if it were nothing.
Wow, that was hard to watch. This is what addiction does to people. Text book example. Lack of accountability. Lack of insight. Projection. Deflection. I mean, did I miss anything? And Kyle at the end hyperventilating…..I thought she was going to pass out. While Kim just sits there calmly watching the reaction. Kinda like she did in Amsterdam after the big dinner fight.
I so agree that it was difficult to watch what addiction does to people in this case to Kim and perhaps to Brandi. And it was encouraging to see that people like Eileen and Lisa R didn’t let Kim get away with her behavior. They calmly called her out when she mis-remembered.
I swear watching this gave me an anxiety attack. So much dysfunction and hatred…so tough to look at. I seldom really “hate” anyone on or off television but I can honestly say that I am hating Brandi and especially Kim. I should probably be feeling compassion for these two messed up women but I can’t. They are just cruel. Addictions or not…cruelty is their M.O. and it hurts to watch it. I never wanted to punch people so badly before. Kyle is a whiner, yes and a fake but, she was genuinely hurting last night and her sister could have cared less. I don’t believe that Kyle has been THAT horrible to Kim and I don’t think that she deserved what Kim dished out. Rinna is annoying and I don’t like her either. OMG…I don’t like any of them and that makes me wonder what the hell I’m doing watching this. Made me realize that my life consists of trying to overcome my own reality (loneliness) with these women and their fake drama.. This left me feeling depressed. Anyone else feel that way? Hatred, disgust, anger…wow…I ran the gambit. I think that I need an intervention to stop watching this crap and torturing myself. Hashtag #Merilynneedshelp.
Oh sweet Merilyn: give up RHOBH for awhile. Your sweet soul needs a break from the manufactured traumas on that show.
Awww, Sending you hugs Merilyn. I have to say I felt drained after watching this episode too. You have to shrug it off. Kyle has lots of love and support from friends and family. Try to find humor in this nonsense. Kim and Brandi will go on and be deluded another day.
Spring is right around the corner. Start thinking of ways to get more human companionship in your life. With the warm weather you will most likely get out there more than you would in the winter. Hope you feel better. Pura is right. Take a break if you need to. XOXO
Merilyn! You aren’t alone! We all need to get together far far away from a television.
Shit. I was scanning today and missed so many things.
MZU, I am often BONE CHILLINGLY LONELY. I get it and I am sorry you feel it too. But we have this place. I know it isn’t much but it is something. I think everyone gets lonely from time to time. I think the way we react has a lot to do with where we are in our cycles as women. This too shall pass.
I’d like to suggest that you try to do something to make it possible to travel. Where you can. I don’t suggest going into debt much but I suggest you do anything you can to travel to another country. BY YOURSELF. It’s not so hard or weird as people make it seem. You may think that will make you more lonely but it won’t. You will be out, and meet people and have fun.
Remember fun? Go have some. It helps me a lot. I didn’t go anywhere last year and I am paying in emotional strife now. GO ON VACATION. And pay someone to come clean your house. Two things that fix loneliness. You can trust me. I am an expert. I’ve been lonely all my life.
xoxo
feel better.
P.S. Doing nice things for others helps too.
Merilyn…what a pretty name! Tamara’s exactly right. When you’re lonely and miserable, do something for someone else. I volunteer with foster children as a Guardian Ad Litem, but the most fun thing I do is volunteer with German Shepherd Rescue and Adoption. I can’t foster dogs anymore, but I do home visits, transports, and evaluations. And consider adopting a German Shepherd. Find yourself a nice well-trained, grown-up…instant new BFF and obsession. It’s amazing how many wonderful adult dogs need homes. I feel terrible if I don’t take my girl for a walk every day, so no matter how I feel, we’re up and out. I don’t watch the Real Housewives of Anywhere; instead I read TT. And everything else. I lose my lonely in books. Friends…I have standing monthly “playdates” with two close friends. Sometimes we have wine and snacks; sometimes we go to a favorite restaurant; sometimes we sit on my porch and drink champagne. Plan little trips if big vacations aren’t in the budget. It helps me to remember that lonely, unhappy, depressed, sad are just feelings; they come and they’ll go. Sometimes I just accept that “This is how I feel right now, but I won’t feel this way forever, or even tomorrow.” TT helps too when I’m feeling lonely…always funny, bright people with something to share. Live and be well.
I find these shows give me intense anxiety when I am watching them. Perhaps it helps me get out the anxiety I feel in my own life that I put on the back burner and suppress. Or maybe it makes my problems seem smaller (they are mainly money related and seeing rich people with problems may make my having little money seem beneficial) I think I continue to watch this show because I get to come here and talk about it. It is true that many people commenting are peri-menopausal or menopausal or mid life crisising, so it is comforting. I like to come here for everyone’s wit and insight while being able to share an intelligent thought freely without being interrupted or judged.
I agree with you. I suffer from anxiety period. Yes, this episode truly had my nerves on edge. You are correct about the loneliness. You are human and very brave to admit it on cyberspace. We all have bouts of loneliness — it’s what we try to do that counts. My apologies if I sound CLICHÉ. Maybe you can help at a local soup kitchen, food drive, join a yoga class at your ymca. Whenever I felt lonely in the past I would hop on the NJ transit bus and go to NYC museums by myself and walk through Central Park. It might sound cheesy but it lifted my spirits and made me feel good about myself.
So well said! I am in total agreement with you – it’s like you read my mind. (I also think feeling anxious after watching some of these episodes and especially the reunions makes us normal!)
I recognized the other night while watching one of these shows, can’t remember which, that it is pure escapism for me, too. Channeling anger and frustration into the tv is better than losing it on a stranger in the grocery store parking lot. 🙂
This is a tough time of life for women, all of us, including the housewives. Your body’s crapping out; your skin’s drying up, and everything starts to sag. You start to examine your life and tally up the good, the bad and the ugly and always sell yourself short in the accomplishment department. Kids leave and parents die. Friends move on or away and relationships get stale.
But I tell myself, I least I don’t have the pressure these women put on themselves. To be on constant alert for the newest and best treatment, surgery, outfit, elixir is a losing game.
Vacations are good. Volunteering is good. Creative projects and friendships and small blessings are still out there for us. I appreciate all of you and the glimpses of the struggles you share with us. It breaks my heart to think that so many are so lonely. Thanks, TT, for this watering hole you’ve created.
Katherine, so well said!! I think many of us share your views. And, yes, big thanks to TT!
Y’all are awesome. I have a small band of Internet friends who have listened to me whine for over a decade. I think they are even more grateful for you guys than I am. 🙂

I suffer with anxiety, depression and chronic pain. My world started to fall apart in 2011. I found this site and it has helped me a lot. I’m married, but I spend 90% of the time alone. When the phone rings I panic because I don’t know what to say. What do I have to talk about that anyone wants to hear, it’s mostly family that wants to spread rumors. I’ve found that I would rather be in a room full of people I don’t know, rather than people I do know. Isn’t that wierd? I’m sorry I should have kept this to myself. I just feel very low today. Thank You Tamara for sharing your awesome talent.
Hey, if I am going to overshare here, we might as well all do it.
That said, when I first started this blog there was another HW blog that had tons and tons of comments. But they were all basically just talking about their day rather than the housewives. A guy was helping me get started and he said something along the lines of “you don’t want a site like that” and I agreed.
But it seems inevitable that we all get to know each other a bit. So we shall have to find a balance somehow. 🙂 Maybe we can have a daily chat post just for what Wendy Williams calls. “Kitchen Table Talk” I suggest this because many of my favorite posters here are gay males, and from my experience, they’s rather not listen to a bunch of women talk about their women’s problems when they just want to talk about the show. 🙂

Kyle has so much going for her thats positive, that I sorta dont understand this obsession with trying to fix or figure out Kim. Its admirable of her, but but such a losing one sided concern. I thought it was obvious that Kyle was relievd and delighted when Kim was sober and doing well. Now Kim acts like Kyle has only malevolent intentions twords her. What the hell? Most sisters would have said fuck it long ago.
Had to go back and rewind Kim’s version of what happened Poker night. It just shows her level of delusion that what she was saying never happened and she kept arguing her point with Brandi backing her up. Hate arguing in Kyle’s favor but she is right when she says that Kim is mean. Seeing the previews for next week it looks like she’s going in for the kill on Kyle about the dog bite.
Oh im sooo excited what shes gonna say about Kingsley now. Cant believe she said that dog only bit Alexia’s finger. LOL. I bet that will be her argument in her upcoming lawsuit with the family friend.
Brandi also killed talking about assault and battery during the dinner from he and Kyle played her ass good. “Didnt you say you were going to knock my teeth out?” Brandi seconds later “Have I done it yet?” Yet she says LMFAOOO.
I think Kim is a sociopath and therefore Kyle will never have a good genuine relationship with her, with or without active addiction. Kim is only concerned with her wants and needs (thats why she has no regard for peoples safety from Kingsley). I actually even think Kim enjoys having that type of dog go after people. The dog is doing her dirty work for her.
Mmm hmmm. Much like Brandi.
The dog, I mean.
i saw kims eyes and her evil smirk when she was saying her usual..you want me to go there? she totally enjoys this behavior of trying to intentionally hurt people…she is mental, no wonder her kid was in a mental hospital, no telling what kim did to her…..she is mentally crazy and is soo not sober……….watch her eyes and you will see the crazy
I agree .. Kim is delusional.. I have so many questions.. The dynamic of this family is fascinating. Kim is so sick and yet the oldest sister, mother hen Kathy, sides with her… I wonder what we don’t know??
It does make me curious about Kathy and what shes like as a person. The times shes been on she came across as bitchy and hyper critical. Not very warm or soft. I dont see how she could be on Kims side and be normal. Some familes are just weird.
I used to really like this show. *sigh* I’m so not interested in the Kim Richards’ hour. A minute is too much.
Ooops, apostrophe run amuck! 🙂
Actually, the apostrophe is fine!
I hear you but Bravo has her on this franchise and she is classic with her deflections and threats of revealing secrets, and I find Lisa R and Eileen calling her out as newbies shows sanity. Kim’s calling Lisa a “mouse” and h Lisa’s response was appropriate. Kim uses name calling as normal yet watching it demands response. Andy tried to shut that down, but I liked that Lisa R said NO.
For those who still don’t think Kim is an asshole, next week (to Kyle) (paraphrasing) → “You shut up or I’m gonna tell them. Is that what you want? You want me to tell them?” Just like when people ask her “how are you doing?” where she thinks they’re questioning her sobriety. She acts like a lunatic & scares them off or threatens them.
yep, you want me to go there, want me to say the truth…the bitch is crazy…lisa rinna called her on it and she had no answer, she is loco
She called her a mouth.
I thought the winner of the night (and the whole season for that matter) was Eileen. She doesn’t take shit from nobody, especially Brandi. Loved when she quickly shot back “what do you bring to the show?!” after Brandi said Eileen was boring.
I am amazed how Eileen remembers exactly what people have said and sets the record straight right away with such calm.
Lisa R. seems to also have the same ability. I think it comes from memorizing scrips as an actress. Where ever it came from, I am grateful. I am loving it!
Eileen and Lisa are amazing! Good point about memorizing scripts….
Love, love Eileen! Hearing that low-pitched, refined voice respond so calmly to Brandi’s screeching gutter mouth was such a contrast. She made Kim and Brandi look ridiculous.
Having Eileen there is like having Lauren Bacall or Katherine Hepburn join the cast. She has that kind of old time smart, classic movie star quality.
I do too. I also love how every time she shoots someone down for misremembering they play the tape as well and it’s almost verbatim. It brings back my love for the housewives franchise, that kind of sanity seems to have been lost in the past few years.
I have that type of recall as well, so for me it seems normal. I can tell you some people hate that, as bad behaviour wants to be forgotten. I allways analyze my own behaviour too, so I think that tends to make you remember everything that went down. Eileen seems to be very mindful of being fair and decent to others.
Janet – I’ve got the same recall & it can be a blessing but also a curse. I often remember the precise day, year & time (within minutes) – which is fine for the positive moments in my life, but not so much for the negative (which I’d like to forget). And like you I also always analyze my behavior. It infuriates me when people do / say despicable things & within hours/days forget or deny. Like Eileen, I prefer to just get it out, forgive & move on.
ETA: It used to really piss me off when my mother would say “don’t dwell in the past” (even if it happened 5 minutes ago) but as I’ve gotten older, in a way I wish I had her ultra-positive attitude → “It is what it is, let it go / forget about it” (but then again she has a tendency to be a doormat & people take advantage of her & she still says those things)! I’ve never considered myself to be oversensitive (& most would say I’m not), but I’ve always been very cognizant of people’s feelings & a fixer but unfortunately its bit me in the ass more times than not. You’d think I’d learn? ☺
Eileen, both Lisas and Kyle are able to remember exactly what happened because they’re not f’d up out of their minds like Kim and Brandi. Also, memorizing scripts for a living (Eileen and Lisa R) certainly helps. Liars have to remember all of their b.s. to try to keep their stories straight; someone who tells the truth doesn’t have that problem.
Eileen is the best thing to happen to this show. Time for Kim and Brandi to go.
I completely agree. I absolutely love her and would rather watch her watering her lawn for an hour than hear Brandi and Kim for 2 minutes.
Totally agree.
I would watch Eileen watching her tomatoes grow 🙂
I was thinking watching her garden would be something I would totally tune in for.

Eileen gardening show would be a spin off I would definitely watch! Lisa V can come on as a guest and see the Flex!
I so agree.. they brought class.. esp Eileen.. she’s the best.. I hope she comes back.. but Kim should have never returned 3 years ago and Brandi is a joke..
I agree! Eileen may be my favorite housewife EVER. It’s so nice to have a sane, intelligent and relatable voice on the show. As a bonus, she’s someone you can really get behind and root for as she calmly and elegantly points out every inconsistency the “sober” girls make. These bitches don’t know what just hit them. More Eileen please!
And she drives a Flex. Nothing like keeping it real.
I just googled the Ford Flex. They are kind of adorable and great for a mother with lots of kids. I bet she sold a bunch of them.

Adorable, yes. Befitting a Beverly Hills, Emmy award winning actress, I don’t know? In my travels and for work I’ve visited BH, Bel Air, Mailibu, etc a number of times. Don’t kill me, but these folks don’t really do Flexes. The BH version of, lets say, a VW Jetta or any affordable sedan, is a fully loaded, shiny as bulls balls Mercedes convertible. They cost a much as a fucking house! Kyle is a hippie compared to Lisa V in that department. So when I say that Eileen is keeping it real, I mean it. Most women like her, living in BH or any pricey burn would have at least a Lexus SUV. I’m serious. In her neighborhood, she’s a really good example of someone who does not give a shit. The average BH-er is really a lot more like on of the Shahs, just much less bling and crazy drama. Persian people are really quite friendly and sweet. Anyway, I’m running off at the mouth again. Toodles.
*pricey burg. Sheez!
I love when Eileen said ” yeah and you keep being an asshole.” Lolol
Eileen is so healthy emotionally. I find it refreshing and inspiring. I actually think the sickest ones are boring and predictable. I mean ive seen women be like that all too often. Very common. Its nice to see someone comfortable in thier own skin, honest and . Above the fray.
I am normally so tough on Kyle, but she could water board Kim at this point and I would not blame her. This woman is vile, mean, twisted and cold-hearted… No one deserves to have that creature in their life.
Your so right when you refer to her like a creature.. I think she’s possessed.. for real 🙂
I feel Mauricio should get an award for putting up with Kim, supporting and having his wife made miserable from. Talk about sister in law from hell! Now is the time to be happy and let it go and focus on your own family Kyle. Kims kids wont forget aunt Kyle who was there for them. My mom did alot for my cousins ,whose mom (her sister), was alcoholic and bipolar, when they were growing up. They never forgot and have a special spot for my mom as a second mother
Some people call him the space cowboy
Some call him the gangster of love
But Kim calls him Maurice
Which is indicative o—of . . . ٩(̃-̮̮̃-)۶
The viewer nailed it with the “Brandi’s jealous because Eileen has everything she wants.” Brandi and Kim both were green with envy during the Emmy footage. Bravo (pun intended) to Eileen, the Lisa’s and Kyle.
Both Brandi & Kim are so jealous of the other women it’s seeping out of their pores. And poor Kim. She would’ve dressed in costume & played the part of what came out of Lisa Rinna’s Depends (but unfortunately for her they didn’t cast that part).
And if Kim doesn’t want to be “talked about” she needs to quit the damn show. How stupid can you get to sign up with an ensemble cast on a reality show & not expect people to mention your name!! ⊙.☉
It is a curse sometimes, to be able to remember the details of when someone was really awful to you. Its like reliving it again, over and over till you think your head will burst. Ive found it doesnt pay, to be too forgiving or too much of a fixer these days. Too many people see that as weakness and go in for the kill ,so to speak. I have to find some redeeming qualities in a person and some remorse to be able to forgive. Otherwise no, I just avoid and focus on good people and those who truely care about me. I find crappy people tend to get whats coming to them naturally anyway, and thats good enough for me to let go.
Yes and Brandi and Kim are the only ones without a steady, caring and reliable partner in their lives to look after them.
dont forget brandi has her hair dresser and kim has kinglsey lol, no one else wants the trash
I think both women would like a steady partner, but they lack the qualities it takes to sustain it. It is really hard to r nd that now though, I’ll give them that. It seems like men just want booty calls and not a long term relatinship. In other words they dont need us anymore. Its very sad. If somethng happened to my husband I doubt that I would be willing to put myself out there again. In that regaurd I do feel for Brandi and Kim. But theyre not nice people so its hard to care.
TT, I don’t know how you manage Tuesday night. There is just too much going on. Hell’s Kitchen, RHOBH, RHONY, Dance Moms…I can’t keep up, and all I ‘m doing is watching! You must be exhausted!
It’s a lot on Tuesdays.

I’m worn out just watching. And it’s going to take me all night to catch up (no DVR).
I really admire your stamina.
This episode literally gave me a stomach ache 🙁 I feel so bad for Kyle! I know first hand what it’s like dealing with an immediate family member who is an addict. Bravo needs to not have Kim back next season… Instead send in her clips to “intervention”
I really hurt for Kyle. Kim has some serious balls to want to uninvite Kyle to Brooke’s second wedding do-over. If Im Brooke Im still inviting Kyle. Kim can kick rocks. But I get it. These two cant even be in the same room as one another because Kim is so foul and comes at Kyle left.
Kyle does need to toughen her back bone dealing with Kim. I know she loves her and wants to be her savior but Kim loves her drugs and her pride too much to see this. Kyle needs to “focus on her own shit” with her family and her business because shes has “worked too hard” to allow her addict sister to come between or ruin it. Let her hit rock bottom. If Kathy has something to say tell her to take care Kim since both she and Kim are airtight!
Brooke is having a second wedding?? What the hell???!
Janshell-yes, I too was confused by that? I thought she already got married at the beginning of the season??
I know. Do-over?! Maybe the one we saw on the show was precisely that. Just for show. Kim’s a bitch with a capital “B”. Something tells me that Kathy and the Hilton clan would toss her out on ear at the first sign of trouble. Sorry, Kathy seems like a heartless b herself. Kim appears to be treating Kyle like an unruly teenager would treat an overly indulgent stage mom. Hmmm? Where might she have learned that sort of behavior?
How absurd is it to have a second wedding more elaborate than the first! Especially since Kim is reputed to be having constant money issues. I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the entitled self-absorbed tree!
I would find it hard to love Kim period, sister or not. At her age you’d think you’d know who she is, but it appears that shes none of things Kyle has claimed, like loving or kind. Shes turned her back on Kyle and become beasties with her enemy. That wouldnt work for me with a friend too well, with a sister forget it! If your friends with my enemy youre my enemy as well. Its one thing if you dont care much for someone, and quite another if the person has tried to wreak havoc on you or betrayed you.
I hate hate hate Kim Richards. Everytime she spoke tonight and tried lyingabout poker night and Amsterdam I wanted to pull my hair out. There has been several housewives that have worn my patience thin but Kim is the worse. Brandi is awful and needs to be let go but Kim oh my god, she needs to leave this show badly. I cant stand her lies, her junkiness, her lack of accountability and her being “too good” to apologize. I think she is now the worst housewife ever for me.
As for Lisa R sending out threatening tweets -I dont care! At this point with all of Kim’s bullshit, lies and rumors I dont feel the least bet bad that Lisa R issued her a warning or threat. Kim has lost her mind and needs to be checked!
And I agree Lisa R redeemed herself greatly in this part of the reunion. Eileen also verbally molly wopped Brandi. I enjoyed it immensely!
I agree with all of this 100%. And re: the threatening tweets- good for her. That woman (Kim) thinks she can do and say whatever she wants, whenever she wants. There needs to be someone who will put her in her place.
I found it amusing during WWHL that Christina Ricci’s answer to how she liked Kim during Witch Mountain filming was, “I only filmed with her for about 3 days.” lollollol That just about says it all about Kim Richards then and now.
LMFAO Peach.
I’m with you! Lisa R. Could choke Kim and have that broken wine glass hit her and I would be happy. Kim and Brandi get under my skin like no other. Oh and where’s that vindication Brandi spoke of? All I saw was her getting her ass served to her on a silver platter and I loved it.
Oh someone said in outlet she felt bullied with this reunion. LOL!!! I can’t. Brandi is probably the biggest bully ever on Bravo besides Tamra and Nene and she has the nerve to crywolf!
Yet another word Brandi is clueless about.
“Hypocrisy”, “Abuse”, Analogy”, & “Bully”.
You forgot, “joke.”

The girl, Brandi #getoffmytv, needs a dictionary – doesn’t know what it means, but hey, sounds educated. What I am looking for is some redemption and there is none. Whatever comes Brandi’s way – she deserves it and then some. What is her excuse for the vile, vulgar behavior, all the innuendos? A joke to ruin somebody’s reputation?
Kim, she is one sick (…whatever you put in here…), #team Kyle.
Those two women (Brandi and Kim), are going to push someone over the edge one of these days and it wont be pretty. They act like alls fair and its ok to go for the jugular vein verbally, and that as long as its not physical its harmless. Bullshit! Everyone has a breaking point mentally, and if you gaslight someone past that point, even the kindest sweetest person might snap and go after them in a big way.
I’ve thought of that & if anyone would go over the edge I’m afraid it would be Kim. That’s one of the reasons I believe Kyle’s so against their friendship. Not if, but when Brandi turns on her I hate to say it, but I can see her snapping.
Brandi’s proven herself; she has no boundaries, no moral compass whatsoever. Kim’s totally unstable as it is & Brandi would annihilate her. Whether it drives her further into her addiction or worse! It would not be pretty.
hey @laws I liked that shit talk towards the end of the episode between LVP/Kyle.
I 100% agree with both of your comments.
All season Kim’s been saying she’s sober but has she ever once said she’s “CLEAN”?? Like a baby she’s hiding behind a blanket & thinks we can’t see her.
Addie, you better not question Kim’s sobriety. She will tell you to focus on your own shit and then makeup rumors about your family.
If Kim ever came after my family there’d be a reason for her to be confused about her hospital stay. It would take 5/7/8 days for her to wake up. ツ
LOL!!! For sure. She better be happy all she got was some texts from Lisa R. Lisa could definitely do some damage based off of what we saw in Amsterdam.
Seriously, what did Kim expect when she signed up for a reality tv show? For everyone to look the other way when they are having to deal with her crap? She’s been late to just about every event they ever had, shit her pants, which BRANDI her bestest friend in the whole world, TOLD the whole world. We’ve seen her on all fours, evidently messed up, looking for matching shoes while her guy friend, that her bestest friend in the whole world, said looked like a mastiff dog, (maybe even a gay mastiff dog) and we are supposed to believe that Brandi and Kim are bonded through pure love and affection. I call bull on that. They both have the partners in crime mentality and that’s what they have in common…well, except for being cold, vindictive bitches.
Sorry, but I’m feeling a bit pissed at the moment 🙂
With all that crap talk (& crap stained pillow) you’d think Kim was sending a message to the Depends Company. (Plus I’m sure she’d do it for a fraction of what Lisa R. got paid.)
The way she described the poker night incident, basically putting the blame on Monty like she had no say in the matter and he forced the pill down her throat; acting like she had no idea that taking a pain pill might be risky for her recovery or alter her mood. No one is that dumb, not even her. She really seems to think that her excuses (lies) should make perfect sense to everyone and that she’s the VICTIM. That woman’s denial is THICK. I agree with you guys. I would have had her in a choke hold long ago. Poor Kyle
It’s pretty obvious she’s been pulling shit like this for years. I believe she said this was her 3rd time in recovery. Kyle knows all the signs & no doubt that’s why Kim doesn’t want her around. Brandi on the other hand could give a shit. She’s only there to piss off Kyle & get dirt on her anyways.
Kim is NOT Sober. An addict or alcoholic that takes prescription medication that is not prescribed to them has slipped/relapsed. PERIOD. She can try to explain it away, but she knows better.
Kyle has a nice family and a husband who loves her. She needs to about face, walk away from Kim and never look back. I am glad Kyle and Lisa are getting along, may take some of the sting out of the Kim problem
I agree 100%. Kim is definitely NOT sober. Instead of working on her sobriety, she’s developed a strategy where if anyone dares question or implies she’s not sober (even “How ya doing?”) she intimidates & if they don’t get the hint, she attacks. I believe she’s been spending too much time with Kingsley → someone (some dog) dares sniff around & he’ll give a warning growl, sniff some more & he’ll attack. ๏̯͡๏
She said if she wanted pills, she would have them stashed in her back pocket ( and stood up to pat her bottom, acting it out). That didn’t strike me as a comment made by someone with just a drinking problem.
I couldn’t get over how Kim said the “accidental” medicine on Poker Night caused her to not realize/remember her own atrocious behavior, yet she otherwise remembered the exact sequence of events and dialogue, enough to argue against ALL the rest of them (except Brandi) about what happened! I used to feel somewhat bad for Kim but she is evil and seems to wallow in it with no desire to improve herself or how she treats people. Shows how dangerous it is when a narcissistic sociopath has someone to feed into all their craziest delusions and perceived wrongs.
There was a moment with Kim that scared the heck out of me. If you watch Kim’s eyes carefully when Lisa Rinna asks her how many days she was in the hospital, something happens in those eyes. They become foggy/change color, something scary happens right there at that moment.
Yes and when the friendship goes south Kim will be the one to go bat shit crazy I think. Brandi is goofy too, but its Kim who has put all her eggs in one basket. Brandi has other friends, a more active love life and young kids. Brandi will just move on, but Kim will fall apart when this friendship shows itself not to be genuine or there is a betrayl of some kind.
I always felt from the beginning whenever she spoke she seemed to me to have a mental problem and so flighty.. she probably has a form of mental illness..
CB – That’s the same vibe I’ve gotten from Kim since S1. Could be a combination of mental illness + addiction or maybe one triggers the other. Who knows? – but she’s definitely “off”.
Kim seems bipolar or histronic personailty to me. Her drama with the mysterious hospital stay seems histronic to me. The behaviour in the limo ride seemed like an intoxicated bipolar ranting and raving. Kim is isolated and alone because shes scary and dangerous. Im so glad her kids are grown.
What is with all the armchair diagnoses lately? Kim is an alcoholic/addict. She may or may not have other issues, but what you are seeing is all related to her dependency.

Yes I am with you.. I can’t stand Kim. I believe she is a drug addict not just an alcoholic and kyle knows .. So she distances herself from kyle.
Early this morning Bravo aired S1 of the BH Reunion. It was quite surprising how all the women have aged but Kim Richards more so than the others. Between her looks & demeanor it was like watching a different person – her twin maybe?! She was actually caring / kind / loving towards Kyle. This new Kim is not only a bad look but it’s aged her terribly.
I forgot to add . . . Now that we’ve seen Kim’s demeanor when she lies — When Andy asked her what’s the problem — the way she said “I’m an alcoholic” you just knew she wasn’t being totally truthful. Like you I believe there’s more.
Yeah Ill give Lisa R a pass on any threatening texts or tweets. Shes probably got PSTD from dealing with Kim on this show. Kim has a way f making a person go all stalker crazy. Some people are so mean and fight so dirty that they can make you lose your mind. I also despise Kim too much to care.
Ugh Brandi’s high pitched shrill was just too much. I had to walk away from the TV for a moment. All she does is deflect deflect deflect. When she has nothing else to say, she’ll just repeat back what you said to her.
“Brandi you have issues”
B: “No you have issues!”
“Brandi you have a drinking problem”
B: “You have a drinking problem bitch!”
“Brandi you never take responsibility”
B: “You never take responsibility either”
Kyle: “Brandi, you have issues with everyone on this show and others”
B: “B-B-But ou’ve had problems with Lisa! Now you’re friends. Is she selling her house?”
And so on and so forth. It’s exhausting.
BK Sweetheart:
You really nailed Brandi here… Queen of deflection. It is so childish this “I know you are but what am I?” bullshit. It’s bizarre… This woman doesn’t have a microgram of self-awareness.
And I so agree about Brandi’s high pitched squeal… Nails on a chalkboard. I remember a specific fight a few seasons back between Brandi and Kim at one of Kyles white parties. “Are you KIDDING ME”?! Like five times in a row. Painful on the ears.
And Kim saying “Well, that’s just Brandi”… Constantly making excuses and trying to justify Brandi’s BS. Jesus… If I were Kyle, I really wonder if I could have held back and restrained myself from pulling a Porsha on her.
Eileen is the consummate professional. Classic, cool, calm and collected. I am so impressed with her.
By the way… I loved it when Eileen was talking about her humble roots…
Eileen: “I mean, I drive a Flex”!
LVP: “What’s a tribal flex”?
Eileen: “A Ford”
Lisa: “huh”?
Thanks for the speedy recap, Tamara! It’s nice to be able to post thoughts so quickly while they are still fresh in my brain.
Yes Brandi is a total spaz. And Andy was downright giddy all the venom being spewed back and forth. And yes love Eileen! Not only is she a class act, she is one no nonsense gal. So many HW could learn a thing or two from her!
I mentioned on tweeter, a couple years ago she needs a voice coach. – she blocked me. It is painful really to listen to her. The “unfiltered” podcast – I never listened to – I don’t like the introductions, like: you are a whore, you did porn, there are other gems, I am sure. What gives you the right? Do you think it is funny, Brandi #getoffmytv? -you are getting it back at the reunion and it seems you don’t like it.
That was so funny!
So, I’m accepting nominations for Queen Cunt Satchel of the season…justify you reason and show your work.
Obviously it’s Kim Richards. There are many reasons, but for me what puts her over Brandi is that she throws her own family under the bus. Look how she is treating Kyle. Icing her out. When she thaws enough to speak to her, it’s about how she is horrible “you stole my house”. I’m sure Kyle has been there for her and her kids financially and emotionally for years while Kim was pickling her brain. Why is Brooke having a wedding ‘re-do? Is it because they had a rush service b/ c of Monty’s condition or because Kim needed a story line? Why are we seeing so much of Monty while he’s so ill? We never saw him before. Because Kim needed a story line? Disgusting. And now she is going to have a go, indirectly, at Alexia by saying she only had a bite to her finger and disobeyed her instructions. Bite was Alexia’s fault. I bet if had been Paris, Kingsley would of been gone by now!
I’m also confused by Brooke’s second wedding.
I was confused too. I thought, wow, is Whitney getting married too? I remember Kim on the show saying they pushed up the wedding to make sure Monty could walk Brooke down the aisle. But I’m sceptical. I wonder if it wasn’t done for the show. It would explained why Brooke didn’t seem as thrilled as one would think. I’m guessing they are doing the original big do on the original date now.
Agreed. Brandi is disgusting and really annoying, but Kim is truly evil. Poor Kyle.
I find it interesting that Monty is on his deathbed with Nurse Ratchet assisting with his needs, meds, etc…. Fast forward to the finale and he’s with JR drinking (JR’s words). So Monty is drinking Kim’s booze, and Kim is taking Monty’s drugs! They’re both in a symbiotic bottom feeder heaven.
My daughter had two weddings although I will say one was at the courthouse because her fiancé was being deployed for a year overseas. So when he came back the next year I asked her if she would rather just have a big reception and she said ‘Mom, it’s walking down the aisle in white to meet Brent at the altar I’ve always dreamed of, not the reception.’ I will say the second wedding was beautiful and we still had a big reception bash afterwards. Loved it.
I was a quarter to a panic attack this entire hour. I don’t know why I watch these reunions. Great recap TT.
Kim’s face makes me want to punch a hole in my wall. She is just vile.
LOVE your name Mrs Beaverhauser
Kim is such a vile, bitter, jealous individual and she is an embarrassment to this show, to her family and to women in general. She and Brandi both seem almost illiterate compared to the other women on the show.
And to think Beverly Hills was supposed to bring us class & sophistication. Andy’s loving this. Joke’s on us!
Kim is hateful and cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Go Eileen go….love her!
I felt sorry for Kyle. I hope Kim’s adult kids don’t cut Kyle out of their life. Kim will come crawling back to Kyle at some point in her life when she needs something. Kim takes no responsibility for any of her actions from poker night. When lisa R talked about the Kim’s weird behavior she smiled. It was weird. Brandi looks gross and is gross.
Kim is disgusting. I love how she stuttered liked she wasn’t expecting Kyle to mention that wedding plans to not invite her. Brooke probably told Kyle what Kim said. Kyle said she was fine going to the first one but she clearly wasn’t because she still fell into tears. 🙁
I just realized why Kim was so upset with Kyle while leaving the pizza party! Looking back at the clips it IS obvious that Kyle WAS reaching and biting her nails nervously. It looks to me like shread trying to keep her there to film that scene. In that case, I can see why Brandi was trying to keep Kyle away from her. Whether I like Brandi or Kim or not, that was a sh**** thing for a sister to do. And it’s right there to see. Kyle would totally throw Kin under the bus. And why the hell does Lisa R think it’s any of her business?! I don’t get it! Why did she talk about it so much? Why does Kim owe her an explanation ?
I realize that I’m the ONLY person here who sees Kim’s side of it but I just don’t think that the entire season should have revolved around whether or not Kim fell off the wagon or not! Why is everyone taking it so personally as of Kim personally offended them by acting loopy that night? Yes, she took sonething! And? Let’s say for arguments sake that she is still an alcoholic.. So is half of Hollywood , I’m sure. Why does these people feel it’s any of their business? And why do these women or the viewers, for that matter, think they have any reason to care so much. It is a disease after all.
It becomes your business when someone shows up to your home on drugs and acts out of control. Also, when that moment is being filmed for tv.
@tp: Florida is full of pedophiles. Does that make child molestation OK?
I think Kim gave Lisa R the “right” to ask questions, worry, and talk about her when Kim was in the car acting high, erratic, and aggressive. We only saw a few minutes. That ride was probably an hour plus. I bet Bravo could make an entire 3 episodes of “car ride from hell”, “poker party from hell”, “kim richards secrets revealed.”
I’m pissed at Kim because she acted crazy and then tried to brush it under the rug with lies and deflection. People don’t like being lied too on TV or in person. If she just owned her ish instead of playing “nothing is my fault for my 50 year old body” we’d have sympathy instead of “stop lying to me. I saw you clearly high now you’re just full of lies”. Go away. Had I seen that behavior and Kim died if an overdose 2 weeks later I would feel regretful like I should’ve said something.
NOW after I tried and she dies, I’d feel at peace that at least I tried.
^^Brandiloon alert^^ Here you go, it was not that difficult to deflect the seasons story line that turned out to be. It was enough for Kim to say, I am a recovering addict, and we all know that is the case. Instead she goes bat shit crazy anytime somebody calls her an addict. Once an addict – always an addict. The question is are they trying to fix it, are they in the recovery or in the relapse. There is no other way with the addicts: you are in recovery or in the relapse.
@Cat—–I’m guessing you are not the President of The Florida Tourism Association. Or will be anytime soon. lol.
I would answer all of those questions for you, Tp, but your perception of the poker party events is so skewed, I really don’t think you would understand.

Kyle was nervous because Kim was acting batshit crazy. Lisa was nervous because Kim acted barshit crazy at her home and in the limo. Kyle wanted Kim to eat to soak up alcohol before getting back in the limo with cameras.
Kim said “Thank you” to Kyle like she was mad so Kyle wanted to talk to her. Yes, Kim IS an an alcoholic so if she seems high it is cause for CONCERN. You dont shrug and say oh well, Kim relapsed and hollywood is full of addicts and keep eating hors d’oeuvres.
How does Kyle bring her nails make it obvious that she was trying to keep Kim there to film?
“Biting” not “bring”.
I don’t think it does, at all. That’s a regress behavior. Kyle was taken decades back, when Kim imposed her crazy on the family, stems from Kyles childhood no less.
Ahh ya think maybe she was biting her nails because she’s dealt with a doped up sister for the majority of her adult life & she’s worried sick about her leaving with a drunk?! Guaranteed the last thing on Kyle’s mind was the effin’ cameras! Also sounds like you missed some pertinent information. Lisa R lost her sister to drug addiction (as in she’s d-e-a-d) which would make her extremely sensitive & caring re this issue.
@addie2u, you have some great comments!
Thanks Meredo. Unfortunately I’ve dealt with lots of addicts (& nut-jobs) in my life, putting up with their lies & slimy antics + the fallout. They don’t surprise me anymore – I know what’s coming (but it doesn’t stop them from trying).
Sorry to hear that addie2u. Stay strong!
@Tp, I hope you thoroughly enjoy “Sharknado 3”!

You might want to legally changed that. 🙂

I can’t stand Kim or Brandi but I agree with you 100%!
I thought id died laughing over Eileen and LVP convo about a Ford Flex! It was a real moment.
Kim Richards is a typical child actress, addicted and entitled has beens. Kathy is airtight with Kim because of Mauricio’s new Agency. Not only is it direct competition but Mauricio was 3rd top real estate agent in the US last year. Thus, the Hiltons lost their top moneymaker.
Please Bravo bring Lisa R and Eileen back and dump Kim and Brandi. Id even like to see Camille, no more newbies.
RHOBH really isn’t that interesting to watch anymore. I did flip through tonight just to take a peek, and I must say Kyle and Brandi have had too much plastic surgery done. They look horrid, Kyle can barely move her face. And I think the Richards sisters need to retire. Sibling dysfunction happens in a lot of families, but their drama should not unfold on tv. I fear they may never recover.
I think Kyle looks beautiful. Whatever she has had done, (the eyes) she looks refreshed. Kyle & Yolanda are the prettiest amongst the BH’s wife’s. Lisa V…should change her hairstyle, it does age her. Yolanda’s shorter hair looks awesome, Lisa V should take note.
Now your right on with Brandi. I seen a pic recently of what she looked life before all her, lets say…enhancements, compared to now, and YIKES!!!, she has done a Pricilla Presley! I wonder, can they ever go back? Is this Brandi’s permanent look?
Team Kim here. Sorry, but Rinna making Kim’s sobriety her entire storyline was evident this season. It’s a shame. After the plane ride, Rinna should have never brought it up again. Also, the girls did give Rinna a pass for her trying to choke Kim and smashing the wine glass on the ground.
No one reacts like that to a silly rumor that Kim is purporting. I mean, Kim of all people. She can be nasty when provoked, but in every fight she’s been in (except for Game Night at Pam’s and when she called Lisa out on her lies about skipping an event) she has never started a fight with anyone.
@JD, I don’t know about that. Kim wasn’t even talking to me and if I could have jumped through my TV and choked her, I think I would have. There’s something about how vile and vicious Kim becomes that it almost turns into a no holds barred situation against anything you do to her!
Oh hell, Kim is the one that hid Brandi’s crutches to begin with, back when this story all began. Sure she can act like it was all a joke, but Brandi wasn’t laughing then. Kim has a mean, vindictive streak a mile wide.
Well now I know not to invite you over for tea. For as much as Kim and Brandi deflect upon their issues, Brandi is right about the double standards that exist in this group of women. There’s very few reasons why you should EVER lunge at someone’s throat to choke them. Kim insinuating something about your partner during a heated argument is not one of those reasons.
Thanks for reiterating what I already said Ginger. Yeah, Kim and Kyle were really mean to Brandi back then. Funny how things change. Goes to show that ALL of these ladies have the capabilities to be really mean and backstabbing.
Look at the things Lisa have said about Kyle. Kyle only being friends with people whose house her husband is selling. Or the whole ordeal with bringing Mauricio’s alleged cheating onto the show. I could go on…
Aw, JD, don’t completely count me out for tea…it would probably be a lot of fun. I agree that all these ladies have the capabilities of being mean and backstabbing, but Kim and Brandi have a certain viciousness that can’t be denied…at least by me. I never thought Lisa R reaction to Kim’s ‘insinuation’ was a cool thing to do, I never even commented on it. The difference is, she really felt bad about it and knew she was wrong and actually admitted it. Kim and Brandi simply deflect and like Lisa R said never ‘own it’. That’s the difference.
I like spice tea, if you please 🙂
Psst Ginger, what JD lacks in real housewives analysis he more than makes up for in cuteness.

Kim keeps talking about her sobriety and the few times it had been brought up. Kim’s storyline was Rinna!
Agreed.
You’re not alone J.D. Sadly, those here who hate the experiences they have had with alcoholics or addicts in their lives have stripped them of the compassion they had before those experiences.
Pura, maybe it’s a little too much reality for reality tv. Too much darkness and this escape vessel no longer serves its purpose. I think everyone wants to see Kim truly succeed, and maybe she is and we are being overly manipulated. We can only react to what they are showing us.
And let’s be honest.. Kyle totally created that at the end with her daughter’s wedding and being disinvited. Kim was telling her that’s not what she wanted. I just don’t buy Kyle’s story. There’s a reason that Kathy takes Kim’s side instead of Kyle’s.
This is the same Kim from seasons past who didn’t want Kyle to be mother to her kids! I wonder why maybe because Kyle did help care for her kids when Kim was out getting drunk and high regularly. Even one of Kim’s daughters can cosign that Kyle was there for them more because one of them eventually lived with their dad. I don’t buy addict Kim. She has lied, manipulated and gaslit everyone each season of housewives with her addiction. She’s not trustworthy at all!
Coco, well said! Kyle helped raise those kids. Kim has only been “sober” three years.
YOU don’t know that Kathy actually takes Kims side. I mean Kim said it, but that does not make it true….. as far as Kyle “creating” the Kim’s daughter story, I think Kyle was genuinely upset about the situation. Kim & Kyle have not spoken in 4 months, given the way that Kim 1. lies and 2. distorts reality, I totally believe it is possible that it may have happened just the way Kyle said it did.Kyle did not say she was dis-invited, what she actually said was that she learned that Kim wanted to dis-invite her ans she was going to not go because of that.
I think Kyle was once again trying to gain some sympathy points in her attempt to remain relevant. What was the purpose of bringing up Kim’s GROWN daughter’s wedding at the reunion (on camera)? I mean really! One would think that Kyle and her family would still be invited to the wedding. As we’ve seen for the past five seasons, mistreating, bad-mouthing, arguing, manipulating and emotionally hurting each other, then coming together as if nothing ever happened, seems to be pattern for Kim and Kyle.
These ladies are disfunction all sisters to the tenth degree! Sadly, it’s all been caught on camera. Even if some of their behavior is generated purely for reality television, why would any sisters voluntarily exploit their caustic, volatile, unhealthy relationship on camera. I don’t think any money or fame is worth that! Kyle and Kim some toxic, effed-up, co-dependent, resentful, siblings.
So true! What were two sisters who consented to have their personal battle filmed thinking when stupid ole Kyle mentioned that her active addict sister who had just put her CHILD IN THE HOSPITAL thinking when she mentioned that she was being vindictive by not inviting her to a second wedding, the original one paid for by the grooms family .
That must have been a ploy for sympathy and not a true moment. Kyle needs an Academy award for her breakdown and panic attack. Even Merle Streep could not conjure an actual panic attack and such pain on her face. Bravo, Kyle. Clearly you are an uncaring robot who has not been dealing with Kim’s addiction for years. You just want everything to be about you, the decent person with the lovely family and the only way you could do that is to be jealous of your addict sister who is always the center of attention.
Yep that makes perfect sense to me.
Idiot.

Thank you, TT. Exactly.
Im not buying so solely Kathy sides with Kim. It’s Kim speaking. And there is a 99% chance Kim is lying to make herself look good as if she has some huge support system. I think Kathy looks at both sides and says what both are doing wrong and Kim twists and flips it and throws it in Kyle’s face that Kathy is the “the good sister who backs her.”
If Kathy and Kyle have problems it sure as hell dont have anything to do with Kim. It has more to do with their husbands going head to head in business. I truly believe Rick was dangling Mauricio around for years and Mauricio got fed up of waiting on Rick to put him up in the company. When word got back to Lilttle Kathy she probably tried to convince Kyle to talk Mauricio out of leaving. When that didnt work their sisterly relationship took a hit. Now Mauricio is getting A-list clients that would had normally went to Rick.
If Kathy is taking Kim’s side it is because Mauricio left Hilton & Hyland to start his own agency and in the process became the #3 selling agent in the entire country and the #1 realtor in CA. Kim rewrites history to suit herself, in past seasons it was thank god for Kyle as Kathy was never around. Now Kathy is the hero.
I do not know if that pisses Kathy off or not (knowing Kathy it probably does), but Mauricio (plus partners) have done magnificently well since starting “The Agency.” When Forbes magazine did an article on the luxury real estate market, they interviewed Mauricio, as did Nightline. He is considered an expert in the luxury real estate market in Los Angeles. When Lisa and Kyle were not getting along last year and LVP made those remarks about him selling her house, I never really got them. Listing LVP’s house would not make or break The Agency, if you look at their web site, one can see what each agent has in listings. Mauricio has 30+ multi-million dollar listings. So really, he does not need to kiss up to Ken/LVP in order to sell their house. Again, I am happy to see Kyle & LVP getting along again. They have a nice friendship. It has been one of few bright spots this season.
We don’t know Kathy takes Kim’s side because that information came from Kim, and she’s a junkie liar who can’t be trusted.
Besides, Kathy has been way too busy grooming her “peasant”-hating spawn for eventual world domination.
Just because Kim said on camera that she didn’t want to un-invite Kyle, it doesn’t make it true. Kim made a lot of claims during the reunion that were shown to be untrue. There can be dozens of reasons why Kathy MAY be taking Kim’s side, none of which we have been shown
The only time I believe Kathy and Kyle had issue about Kim was the limo scene in season 1. Their family is built upon secrets and Kim’s drinking (apparent drug use) is one of them.
That’s my second comment tonight that ended up in the wrong place. Now it makes as much sense as Kim
Totally agree here. Kyle’s storyline is that she will always be biting her lip and wringing her shmata over something. Kim’s storyline was a tremendous bore. I don’t care about her issues, or Brandi’s. They will both I feel, die unfortunate deaths, sooner rather than later. Rinna, LVP, and Eileen will remain relevant, this is just another gig for them. Yo is not a favorite of mine, but I certainly wish her the best in regaining her health.
Kim said disinviting Kyle wasn’t what she wanted. She didn’t say she WASN’T disinviting Her. She is manipulative enough to word play that one. She preceeded her comment saying that she needed to think things thru and make some decisions with some big events coming up. I think Kyle knew exactly what Kim meant.
I’m curious — if Brandi thinks Eileen’s “antiques & figurines are creepy” does that mean her cheap plastic Dollar Store drawers (in her bedroom) are “CHIC”? ⊙.☉
Why is no one mentioning Kim’s face??? OMGosh, there is something really wrong going on between her eyes. I feel like J.D. and I have been watching 2 different shows. I think Kyle’s work is almost perfect and she has looked really beautiful all season. And, is it possible for Brandi get any skankier? She wants everyone to think she is this great earth mother and her children are completely unaware she is being carried out of parties b/c she’s too drunk to walk and shagging random guys on TV. Yet she tries to slay all of the other women with zero care that what she says is hurting their children.
I love Eileen and Lisa R. Both are so attractive and I think they have increased the fun quotient at least 10 fold, not to mention their witty repartee.
There is really something MORE wrong going on between her ears 🙂
I think both Kim and Kyle treat each other poorly at times. In terms of Kim’s issues with the other women, I’m totally on her side. Brandi is despicable though.
Kim does not provoke others unless attacked first. And when she’s provoked, she turns into a vile nasty being as we’ve seen countless times. You can tell that the Richards sisters have some intense anxiety issues.
The thing is, no one attacked Kim.
The problem with Kim is she assumes every conversation is an attack. She is so busy trying to “prove” she is sober she is always in attack mode. So when any of the women ask her how she is doing she perceives it as they are questioning my sobriety.
Exactly. Instead of Kim working the program she’s worked on her strategy & upped her game to hurt & alienate those who question her or know damn well she’s not sober. Like we saw at Eileen’s in answer to a question – she starts out mild → “blah, blah, blah” (that’s warning style #1). Continue questioning → she’ll nip a little (warning #2). Keep prying → she’ll bark louder (warning #3). Persist → she’ll threaten to bite (ex. “What did Harry do?” & giving fuel to Brandi as per her current blog “What did Kyle do?”)
It’s odd that Brandi thinks that discussing/bragging about her fucking the Amsterdam guy on TV is “OK.” She has just passed that shame to her children, not to mention what Eddie & Lee Ann will do with that info. She is such a hypocrite, chastising everyone about “going after” her kids. Brandi is their biggest poison.
Yes, the children. I think Brandi and Tamra from RHOOC do not put their children before themselves. Good mothers try very hard to never embarrass their children. If either one of these women were my mom I would be livid with the way she behaves on tv for the world to watch. Does Brandi think that her children will ever have to hear “your mom is a whore” ? You bet they will if they haven’t already. Would not surprise me to find out that they have heard about and maybe seen her tampon picture. I feel super sorry for those boys. They more than likely love their mom. But don’t think for one moment they haven’t been embarrassed by her. If you love those kids Brandi…then put them first…ahead of your partying and sleeping around. And being on tv helps to make damn certain they will see and or hear all about it.
I find myself thinking after nearly episode “I wonder what kind of crap her kids are going to hear at school tomorrow.” I’m not sure I want to know the details of her story about her one son asking what that “thing” was (her tampon string) when she was in the bathroom. She is just horrifying.
It makes me wonder about Eddie, apart from the divorce, why on earth he does not attempt to gain custody of his sons. Brandi can’t care take her dogs, let alone her children.
Kims face?=crypt keeper.
That remark was @peachteachrs’ question….
I agree. I think Kyle looks great, and love the red lipstick. I wish I could wear red lipstick, but I cant carry it off, it ends up on my teeth, lol.
Now Kim…she looks old & weathered. She has the “look”. The look of an alcoholic. She has beautiful hair. Must be something with the Richards sisters and long hair. Back in the 70s, Kim’s hair was down to her butt. Glorious thick hair, I’m so jealous!!! That’s where it stops, Kim’s face, looks worn, and tired. She has crows feet and is not pretty at all. She looks older than Lisa. Kim is the one who could use some plastic surgery, I recall she did her nose. But I don’t think it made difference.
I kind of loved how Andy was getting such a kick out of these fucked up exchanges…his glee was so obvious it made me smile. It was really the only fun part of the reunion for me. I guess he doesn’t do the ‘best shoe’ gig anymore either. SIGH.
I agree with everyone that said that Kim is vile…she really is. She hits below the belt and that’s the kind of person I would like to take to the wood shed. I have an issue with anyone that has the ‘entitled’ attitude and it sticks out like a sore thumb on Kim. She is a spoiled rotten bitch. Period. I am glad for Kyle’s sake that public opinion has finally turned in her favor.
Oh, and Brandi does have crooked nostrils and NOW that’s all I seem to see when I look at her, and it was already hard because of her inflated balloon face. Bitch is crooked all the way around, even her nostrils, which for some reason I find ironic as hell and very fitting.
Same here, all I could look at were those nostrils. They’re gross, just like Brandi.
Oh great…now Brandi’s nostrils are all I can look at, too. I guess it’s better than looking at her gross over-inflated Joker face. She used to have such an interesting beauty and she’s destroying it.
She’s always making cracks re: “Depends” and “Kyle not getting her period any more”.. etc. etc.. But seriously look at what this girl has done to her face? No one looks as bad as Brandi and she has the nerve to make fun indirectly or directly to the other womens age groups? she’s is SUCH A NUT CASE…
P.S. she sure is running to plastic surgeons a lot to defy the aging process for a woman making fun of the group…
Brandi’s nostrils, Kim’s eyebrows. It’s all too much.
I can’t stop staring at Kyle’s Nicole Kidman forehead. What did she do to herself? She looked so good during the season.
I’ve never noticed either. Then again a teacher I worked with every day and liked and chatted with frequently bought herself some huge knockers one summer. HUGE. I didn’t notice for two years.

Your correct, Andy didn’t hide his glee . He was laughing at them. When BG called Kyle a “cun#”, Andy just said “OK” I thought he should of said something. Kim should of said something. I noticed he cut of Lisa R, a couple of times. Andy loves the conflict, even BG stated that’s what she brings to the show when Eileen asked her.
Lisa Rinna was a busy body that needed to stay out of Kim’s business but her intentions were good so Kim’s hateful cruel vicious behavior was not justified in any way. She acted like Lisa was out to destroy her. That’s some twisted paranoid crap. The truth is if Kim was clean then NOTHING Lisa Rinna could say would matter. Kim would be above reproach. Give the self-righteousness a rest Kim.
I guess the big “smoking gun” is Lisa Rinna sending threatening tweets or texts to Kim? Pfft. Call me a Lisa Rinna apologist but after the way Kim has acted I honestly don’t care. My sympathy is still with Lisa. (Kim mocking Lisa’s tears during next week’s episode do nothing to warm me up to her.) I’m embarrassed for Lisa that she lost her head, not once (the glass throwing) but twice (the threatening texts/tweets). But there’s a touch of “There but for the grace of God go I” I can see myself being pushed that far. Particularly if someone implied crap about my family (I’m borderline white trash like Rinna so I totally get it). It’s also shocking and hurtful to have someone attack you when all you meant was well.
I also feel bad for Kyle. Particularly when she said she loved Kim’s children as her own and was afraid of Kim taking them away from her. I believe her. Kim’s behavior this season has made me reassess some cast interactions in past seasons – like the times Taylor got angry with Kim or the times Lisa was annoyed and dismissive of Kim’s flakiness. I was fooled. I really thought Kim was a goofy gentle vulnerable eccentric. She’s not. She’s a a toxic sick addict with a capacity for cruel behavior.
Lastly I felt AWFUL for Eileen. This woman is too good for this show IMO. She’s too rational. She’s too classy. She has too much common sense. I wanted to slap Brandi when Brandi laughed at Eileen saying “My husband told me I’m not a home wrecker. I’m a home maker” There was something so vulnerable about the way Eileen said it. I could imagine Vince saying it to her to reassure her she wasn’t a bad person. She wasn’t a home wrecker. It just made me incredibly sad.
Brandi and Kim must have alot of pain inside that is making them lash out so cruelly.
Sorry for the long comment
As someone who is close with a recovering addict who has been clean for a decade, I have to say, Kim won me over this season when she spoke to Yoladna/Brandi after the Amsterdam dinner showdown. She said something very powerful that a lot of recovering addicts feel as well and it was something to the effect of:
“Calling my sobriety into question and making it the topic of discussion among these ladies is an attack on my family, because if for one second my children thought I was back in that place, they would leave me for good.”
That speaks volumes. Whether she wants to admit it or not, Kim made a mistake taking Monty’s pills. She still has a LONG way to go towards being accountable for her actions and her mistakes. Outside of that, we have no proof of her slipping up before or afterwards, and it was extremely unfair for Rinna to continuously harp on this issue, ESPECIALLY after Kim told her on the plane not to bring it up again. Kim’s vile behavior towards Rinna after the plane ride isn’t justified but understandable.
This logic or reasoning only works if Kim had never acted like this before. And she has, season 1, prior to and in the limo, directed at Kyle. But then, don’t you think Kim kind of lost some of her rights to privacy when she dragged her family and friends thru her addiction, on national tv? Who knows what the earlier years looked like.
I don’t know, I see Lisa R and Eileen as having ample justification to talk about addiction and loss, given their own family histories. Of course there are lines to be considered but frankly, I haven’t seen Kim toe any lines of reasonableness EVER.
The worst part, it’s hard to know where the scripted part of all this ends and the reality begins.
Hi JD – I felt for Kim when she mentioned her kids would leave if they thought she was using again – but I guess she didn’t stop to consider her behavior on the show speaks volumes as to whether or not she still uses. I don’t believe her issue is limited to alcohol and going back over the seasons, I have always felt her issues were drugs. Her kids are now grown and it’s a shame she did not find sobriety before now. Personally I think she is very mean and full of threats. There comes a time in life when we have to put our big girl pants on and grow the fuck up. She hasn’t done that so far and I don’t expect her to…she constantly talks about her three years of sobriety but I don’t believe they exist. She is a nasty piece of work and I don’t care whether she is an addict or not. She has chances in life that so many of us do not have…and she just pisses on everyone and everything. If she were really trying to work her program, she would not continue on this show…period, and Brandi would not be her “go to” person. She would be thankful to Kyle for being there and putting up with her over the years, stepping in to help with her children, etc. She is so very nasty and vile with the things she says to the other women – and the threats she makes, like threatening to expose secrets that others don’t want out, what the fuck is that? Pure nastiness is all that is. I’m all for compassion where it is deserved…she doesn’t deserve my compassion. If she could be honest, perhaps I could be compassionate…perhaps I;m a bitch but at least I own it.
@gapeachinsc, I so hope both Kim and Kyle read your comment. You are spot on in your assessment of their tragic situation.
@JD, Kim has obvi had these issues/behaviors for years. At this point she should expect to be questioned until she has been clean/shown behavioral changes for a very long time. She doesn’t take accountability for shit. I doubt, sadly, she will ever achieve ten years like your friend. I respectfully & completely disagree with your perspective & reasoning re: Kim. Just saying.
@gapeach-
I get what you’re saying, and can understand her fears regarding her children’s reactions. But, I don’t think Lisa R. was being malicious in bringing it up again at dinner. I think she was trying to explain to Kim why she had been so concerned and to apologize again.
I thought Kim was on something when she was riding in the car to the gay party ,as well. Watch that, and you’ll see her swinging her head side to side, and talking in a sing song manner. My guess is, meth or coke, with maybe a few glasses of wine. Also, Brandis lunch with Lisa R hinted at a deeper problem than people even suspect. Dont think Kim slipped up just one night , and she shows no signs at all that shes doing what she needs to be and stay sober . Shes acting out and hanging out with a nasty drunk all the time. Shes angry and hiding somethng. Her kids are in for more of the same.
Your longass comment was better than my blog. That’s my only issue with it. 🙂 Well said.

This is super late but “Thank you” 🙂
Perfectly said! Bravo!!
Thanks Evaree 🙂
Well, I think if Kims kids as adults; can be swayed by their whacked out mom, to shun Kyle, they’ve got some serious issues. After what their mom has put them through, I would think they would have minds of their own , and not be puppets for Kim. If I were one if her kids I’d tell her leave me out of it, you know how you get. If she didnt like it, tough.
Maybe because they momma is a psycho drug user maybe Kim’s children dont want to push her buttons. We’ve all seen much of a viper she can be when shes around others. Imagine the shit she would say to her kids. Kim is fucking insane, mean, vile and gross.
This whole wedding thing and if Kyle should be invited or not reminds me of season 4’s reunion of RHONJ when Melissa (eyerolls) said she was going to move her family to be away from Teresa and her kids because she claimed Teresa’s kids “bullied” her kids. Which was complete and utter bull shit. It was just Melissa trying to get sympathy points. Same can be said for Kim in this situation.
That was pretty dastardly of Kim. It’s unfortunate how family can cut each other so deep. It sucks watching the Richard Sisters fight like this.
WOW! Very HARD to watch!! I have a sister 3 yrs age difference so I know all about fighting, ect. My sister & I don’t talk now (and have not on 6 months) because she basically did the same stuff Kim has to Kyle. Only difference is mine claims to be a christian, we both live in a small town where everyone knows us, our kids & she said some terrible things to my school age kids. I want/need my sister because I was diagnosed with an incurable Liver Cancer but not if it means I loose all self respect & dignity.
If your sister is in anyway a decent person she’ll contact you & apologize & because you’re the better person you’ll forgive her — but be on guard & tread lightly / move slowly & back away at any signs of toxicity. My sister (10yrs older) trashed me when I married my husband. She thought he was an amazing guy but didn’t like the color of his skin. She refused to talk to me but did many cruel things & trashed me to anyone that would listen — until we almost lost my father. She called, apologized, I accepted, we cried — but I’ll never be able to forget the hell she put me through for 9+ years. I’ve come to learn it was all due to jealousy & I’ve learned how to deal with her. I can’t share as much as I’d like because she has a tendency to take my words & distort them to make me look bad (but at least we’re able to share some laughs). Life’s too short & you need to surround yourself by people who love you & respect you. You’re in my prayers.
Mama – I’m so very sorry to hear of your illness. I have similar troubles with my sister and can sympathize on that front, I really hope your sister gets some clarity and supports you. Praying for you.
After watching the season, I haven’t watched the reunion part 2 yet, I have to say I really like ED. She is an awesome actress and I think she was real about who she is. Does it realky matter how she and her husband got together? The thing to me is they are still together and seem very happy and their kids are happy. I wish LR had taken a que from ED and made her storyline about her fabulous life, married to a well known actor and her own acting career, but instead her whole story line was Kim and an intervention. To me that’s a shame, but maybe next season she will reflect on thus season and go the way of ED. The Richards sisters turn my stomach! Who fights with their sister like that and especially on TV! I blame them both. I do not want to watch another freaking second much less an entire season season of their problems, enough already nothing is going to change between them. I say Bravo should keep LVP, ED and LR and get rid of the rest.
I adore “ED” but I see those initials and think erectile dysfunction 😀
I was thinking the same thing. It took me a minute to figure out who she was referring to.

Sadly Kyle is probably better off w/o Kim. My sister has done some of the same crap & at some point I had to draw a line. I have cancer in my liver & lungs that has no cure, a husband and kids to raise & the last thing I need is playing games & drama with my sister who takes her insecurities out on me. I have NEVER seen anyone be jealous like she is to me because I have cancer!! When she finally admitted that to me it all made sense. Kim will fall FLAT on her face & Brandi will screw her over.
I think the best thing about this season Kyle can look at this season and honestly decide to keep herself away from Kim. She did say she only wants to work things out because of the kids not Kim. That must had punched Kim in her egotistical gut when Kyle said that!
After Kim says she’s at a good place & is fine without Kyle in her life – Kyle says they need to talk only when Kim’s “ready to have an honest & real conversation”. The look on Kim’s face says it all – she’s pissed. Most people would’ve agreed, “yes – let’s work on our relationship, let’s be honest & real” — but Kim’s not ready to give up her addiction so she certainly doesn’t want to be honest about it.
It’s like Kim had been screwing around for years with a guy that was abusive. She loved him – but to shut everyone up she told them she’s not seeing him anymore. She’s been seeing him on the sly & as the relationship progressed she got sloppy (not covering her bruises well) — But this time around she rather distance herself from anyone that even remotely mentions them (him) than break it off again.
Bottom line: Kyle knows Kim’s using again & Kim knows she knows (if that makes sense ☺) – which is the #1 reason Kim doesn’t want her around.
addie2u I didn’t really follow or relate the abusive relationship analogy, but I think you hit it dead on in your bottom line. I saw your comment earlier and it’s been in my head ever since… “bingo!”
I imagine Kyle and Kim were communicating off camera during the season, Kyle even alluded to it (“I told her to talk to Lisa R privately”). And maybe the circumstances surrounding the dog bite was the last straw for Kyle to call Kim out, and Kim’s avoiding dealing with her relapse by avoiding Kyle. It seems to me Kyle is trying very hard to keep Kim’s issues private while still calling her out publicly (“I am only interested in honest conversations”). I have loved Kyle this season and I love how strong she has seemed throughout the fallout (showing emotion is not a weakness). LOVED what she had to say about the reunion. She seems to have become stronger and less codependent by distancing from her sister. It looks great on her.
Re abusive boyfriend analogy → Kim’s greatest love is her DOC (drug of choice) which she’s had an on again / off again relationship with for years. Though she knows she shouldn’t be with him, she can’t help herself. She’s comfortable / feels secure with him, they’ve been together through good times & bad + he’s THAT good! No one wants them together & when questioned about him, she denies it – but eventually she can’t hide it anymore & reluctantly admits “Yes, I’ve been seeing him”. She enters rehab (this last time I believe just to shut everyone up) where she (once again) gets the tools to free herself from the relationship . . . but unfortunately she always ends up going back to the prick. Wash, rinse, repeat.
This is going to end in 1 of 2 ways: 1) Kim kicks this SOB to the curb once & for all & gets serious about her recovery. She puts as much time & effort into living without him as she did keeping him hidden. OR 2) She continues being with this asshole until he kills her. 🙁
And I just realized I may have broken a commenting rule with my above comment. Sincere apologies, Tamara!
I understood your reference, I just don’t really think that comparison applies. Kim isn’t a victim of her addictions. Her loved ones are though.
I do, however, agree with your conclusion that Kim is avoiding Kyle because she knows that Kyle knows she isn’t sober/clean.
I agree totally.. Kim loves her new life without kyle BC no one is watching her get high.. And I think Kim snowed the world. I don’t believe she was ever JUST an alcoholic.. I believe the has a drug problem and that season when she was with the fat gay man.. They were both taking drugs.
Kim is LOVING all of this attention. You can see the sick joy on her scrunched up little face. She wants this shit, but she also wants to be totally in control of it. And right on Lisa R! I would’ve unleashed the beast if I were Lisa R or Eileen. Kyle, again, very poised. The shit’s gonna hit the fan with her though I think Kim’s threats are getting to be a bit too much for her. Especially after all she’s endured. Kim’s behavior is beyond reprehensible. It’s only a matter of time before she pisses off the wrong bitch. Probably her fair weather drinking buddy Brandi.
Great recap, thanks TT. Lisa Rinna taking no prisoners. How many days were you in the hospital, Kim? OMG. My favorite moment was Lisa V asking what’s a Flex and then asking what’s a Ford.
Round 1 goes to Lisa Rinna. Round 2 goes to Eileen and Lisa Rinna.
I put no stock in anything Kim says. Beyond being an addict, she is vicious and a liar. Pneumonia, baloney! Smoking cigars, no real idea how long she was hospitalized. Her emotional growth stopped at about 11 years old. Kim’s expression was amazing while Eileen’s acting was being discussed. I think she wanted to shout out “but it was daytime tv”. She’d be lucky to have such regular work and not live off her x’s and sister’s husbands, except I doubt she could hack it.
Brandi is just so crotchety in so many ways.
Funny, now I know why Brandi put LR in her alleged flight prayer with Eileen saying Brandi needs to stop her homewreckers witch hunt for her children’s sake. Nice try, Brandi, but now it’s highly transparent.
@fpf1, I caught that too and thought the exact same thing!
Lets face it … Having a pic taken of your drunk self with a tampon string hanging out is as low as it gets…good call Lisa Rinna on brandi getting a tampon endorsement… LOL … Im dying!
Eddie must look at his new wife every day and think himself very lucky.
It looks like the Brandi and Kim apologists are out in force. Katherine, is that you?
Josie: here’s some math. Imagine how dumb the average person is. Now, think about how 49% of the population are even DUMBER than that.
Hahaha yes, very scary!
As much as everyone say they can’t stand Brandi and Kim the reality of the situation is that their type of crazy is what these Housewife shows are all about. Without all this crazy the show would die a slow death from boredom. Bravo knows that this is what most people are talking about so I wouldn’t hang my hat on either Brandi or Kim being fired.
@Teresa darienzo (@popems42) I agree, Bravo will bring the misfits known as Kim, Brandi and Nene (and co.) back, because they know that they are ratings gold. I don’t know what it says about us, cause we watch them. I think I need an…..INTERVENTION!! LOL!
Kim & Brandi may not be “ratings gold” anymore. I have looked at a couple of other boards and everyone is pretty much done with that duo. It would seem that at some point people would stop watching??? I guess we will see when contracts come up. TT does a nice job of outlining that for us….
Brandi and Kim do give some conflict to the show. I would say dump one and keep one. They could then add one new girl and the dynamic could change for the better. Both of them on the show is too much.
I second that! The two of them combined is more than the sum of their craziness.
are more…
I think Kim will stay and Brandi will go (even though 2 for price of 1 wouldn’t be bad)!
What does Kim Richards bring to show? I don’t care for Brandi but realize you have to have a witch ,I guess. But Kim brings nothing except hatred. Love love Lisa Rinna & Eileen such a good suprised to see them come on ..Thanks. My reason for writing: why does Andy give Kim so much time? Makes everyone be quiet for her??? Yuck!!
If we’re gonna have a witch I’d rather have Carlton.
I hope Kim and Brandi are off the show next season. Kim’s statement that “we talked about it on the plane” – she yelled at her like the angry addict she is and was still angry, as evidenced by her rude comments after the plane ride and before the glass smash (e.g., when they saw the streaker). And the BS that she’s too nice to say what she knows about Harry, and Brandie backing her up. What a couple of clowns.
Brandi looked sad – maybe because it’s hard for her to move any muscles in her face. When Eileen asked her what she brings to the show and after a pause all she could say was “conflict”. No Brandie zinger there.
Remember Daryl Hannah’s mermaid character in Splash? Remember that high-pitched squeal sound she used to make?
Yeah, Brandi.
For someone like Kim who must have such an extremely high tolerance after years of addiction, I find it very hard to believe that a pain pill could make her that messed up. Maybe if she was sucking on one of Monty’s pain patches, but no way in hell did she accidentally take a pain pill and act in the way that she did. B
And who takes a pain pill for bronchitis (while sucking down a cigar)?????? That makes no sense whatsoever…
Kim hasnt met a lie she wouldn’t tell, gape.
I have never, ever, taken any type of pain pill for bronchitis or pneumonia. With bronchitis, they gave me a this gadget that sprayed a mist to loosen up the congestion in my chest. I had double pneumonia, and felt so horrible, they admitted me to the hospital. With that, I was given breathing treatments. They never gave me anything for pain!
I’m really confused how Kim attended a party. Even with something for pain, she still would have a hard time breathing, and would be coughing, I seen no signs of her being ill at all. As a cancer patient, ONE pain pill would not fuck you up like that. Kim knows what she took, she’s an addict, and will do it again.
I’ve thought the same thing. There’s NO way a person with her tolerance got that wasted on 1 pill! Even if she had abstained for 3yrs (unless of course, it was made to knock out an elephant)! Plus for her to say she had “no idea” she was that wasted. Yeah, right. Even my 86yr old mother says “wow, this sip of wine is making me loopy”! ☺
I know!! She is delusional to think everyone buys her stories. Anyone with a history of dealing with drug abuse knows the difference. And for some reason, these housewives want to act like her abuse was of alcohol – doesn’t really do Kim any favors, does it? (we all know when we’ve had too much of anything!!)
Maybe she ate one of Monty’s patches?
Lolol!! These comments are killing me today.
I don’t understand the people who think that Kim is justified. Look, if Kim didn’t want her sobriety to be a story line after her “mishap” at poker night, she could have stopped it. It’s called being an adult and apologizing to everyone at the party. All she had to say is she has been sober for 3 years and made a stupid mistake. She appreciates everyone’s concern and is glad they care enough about her to offer support, but she has talked to her sponsor and they are working together. FINISHED! But she acted like a child instead and it makes me wonder if she really didn’t want everyone talking about her all season. Sure made her relevant didn’t?.
You nailed it! Kim knows that she has to stay revelent on the show, and she is an actress….she could have nipped it all in the bud, but didn’t…..its all about choices. I think she is laughing all the way to the bank!
I think it has more to do with Kim not actually being in a program. It’s obvious that she’s not and hasn’t been. She probably went to a counselor a half dozen times, did detox/Dr. Drew two week rehab, which just isn’t enough time to get sober. There’s no way she even knows the steps to sobriety. She takes no accountability. Doesn’t admit she’s an addict. Doesn’t admit that taking someone’s cancer pills that are highly addictive is a relapse. I bet her ex was on some time of morphine or delaudid. As someone here said, if she wanted this to die down, she would have faced the accusations head on and apologized. Her deflection made her look guilty. That’s not Lisa’s fault. And I don’t blame Lisa R for bringing it up. I’m sure the producers were in her ear to bring it up as often as possible (and Kim knows that).
So Kim can just f-off for all I care. I can’t believe I felt bad for her in season one.
And I actually felt really bad for Kyle. And I hated Kyle for years! She was definitely having a panic attack, poor thing. 🙁
Kim strikes me as the type who doesnt like to follow any direction , and thinks that the rules dont apply to her. That mentality, has probably undermined her attempts at sobriety; more than anything else. Its also doomed her marriages and her ability to be a stable parent. Shes too stupid to realize this about herself, and instead just lies and makes poor choices time after time.
I forgot to say…Andy…I hated him the most. He was awful.
I think I am the only person here who LOVES Andy Cohen. I think he’s awesome!
I wrote Andy a love letter three years ago.

I think your letter was beautifully written (clearly, you are a writer… and a good one). I think most Bravo viewers see it like you do. But I just don’t see him as exploiting women. I think he genuinely enjoys women and their company. I also think he is running a network and doing his job… very well. We are all watching and commenting.
I think if you sign on to do a reality show, you better be prepared to have your “skeletons” exposed. It’s common sense. Eileen didn’t come off as exploited, because she has her shit together.
I don’t know… I think they exploit themselves.
Just my opinion.
Andy has done a shitty job mentoring this reunion. However hes getting the best of several worlds: ratings, money and women fighting. Fuck yea!
I’m curious what “work” Kim has put into her sobriety the past 3 years. Does she go to meetings, have a sponsor, acknowledge her flaws and mistakes? Does she talk to a therapist or seek comfort in nature? WHAT?? I’m legitimately curious. She always talks about it. I’d love for her to share her methods so maybe others could benefit.
Unsure about the other steps but Kim’s much too busy hurling out cruel & vicious comments to work Step 9 → “Making amends must involve sincere efforts to apologize”. Or she said “fuck it, there’s too many people I’d need to apologize to” / “too much work”!
I finally watched this at about 2am, and I agree with someone who said earlier, this one was hard to watch. Kim was vicious, Brandi was her usual vile toxic self. But when it ended, even I was tense so I can imagine how they felt. After this reunion and the Atl reunion, these are two of the HW shows that I have plans to eliminate from my viewing line-up.
Poor Kyle, to have a sister who is trying her level best to destroy you has got to be the worst. “Those who know you best are the ones who can hurt you the most.”
You got that right! And to truly love that person & only want the best for them – makes it hurt tenfold.
Please Kim, quit going to the Spkr. John Boehner tanning salon. You glow in the dark. Brandi, you dress looks like the same material used for orthopedic garments. Thick, shiny, and ugly.Please send those 2 back to Jr. High.
Andy sure seems to get his vicarious thrills watching the women say fuck you over and over to each other. I think Andy is the master shit stirrer.
TT, “I see no hands” a reference to jodi arias trial? Lol. Love it!!
heh. It’s just my way of saying hi to the trial watchers from time to time. Glad you got the message.

Am I the only one who cant stop looking at Kyle’s face? Something seems “off”. Is it the makeup? The hair? Too much botox? WHAT IS IT…. Is that what Harry did, did he do whatever is going on with Kyle’s face?
I don’t think she looks good in matte lipstick., Makes her look older. But the alternative is her smacking her lips and reapplying lip gloss every 3 minutes. It’s a toss up!
Kim should not wear shocking pink when she herself is shocking orange. Not a good look.
No one has mentioned the best line of the night; “What did Harry do? Did he fuck the dog?” So funny!
So Kim had bronchitis and pneumonia for 7-8 weeks and did not go to the doctor and instead she takes a cancer pain pill. Not to mention that anyone sick for that long with either or both of those ailments would either have been hospitalized or dead by that point. Maybe that is why we got the BS story of Kim being hospitalized for 5, 7, 6, 8 days. She realized that her story sounded ridiculous without some sort of hospitalization.
@Josie .. Exactly! (Re the hospital stay 4, 5, 7, 8, 6 days) If you are going to be a liar.. Be a good one. Kim also needs to improve her acting chops … Blind Freddy could see she had nothing on Harry .. It was pathertic.
I agree, that it was difficult to watch. Thankfully, I recorded it, so I was able fast-forward through most of it!
…While I am NOT a fan of Kim Richards and her antics, but I do think that Lisa Rinna seemed to spend too much of the season discussing Kim; perhaps due to poor editing. Given that Lisa R. was friends with Kyle prior to the show, it is reasonable to assume that she had already formed an opinion of Kim. Although Lisa R. had previously apologized to Kim for talking to multiple housewives about her, she didn’t seem very apologetic during the reunion. Quite frankly, I think she seemed “loonier” than Kim! I couldn’t believe all the “f-bombs” she dropped. Brandi would have been chastised and demonized had she done the same. (By the way, I can’t stand Brandi!)
I thought it was interesting that there seemed to be an expectation that Kim owed Eileen an apology for calling Eileen a “beast”. However, Kim did so after Eileen called her a “nasty, vicious person”. Seems like Eileen could/should have acknowledging that she began name calling first. Again, I have no love lost for Kim or Brandi, but it seems like there is a double standard among the RHOBH on what is acceptable behavior (by some women and not others).
As much as I like LVP, she seems to have forgotten how she used to take up for Brandi, just as phony -tear-dropping-it-must-always-be-about-me Kyle seems to have conveniently forgotten how close/cool she was with Brandi at the beginning of the season; a relationship that seemed to burgeon towards the end of last season when it was Brandi, Yolanda & Kyle (sometimes Kim) v. LVP. Ridiculous!
…Looney Lisa R. told Brandi to “own it baby”, or something similar, several times throughout Part 2 of the Reunion. It would be ideal if all of the women were expected to do the same.
THIS!!! You said EVERYTHING I was thinking!!! Such a double standard…
Thank you TT for your awesome recap! I agree, This episode was hard to watch. All I have to say is if Kim doesn’t want Anyone to talk about her and her behavior/relapse, she should NOT be on a televised reality show. Everyone who watches RHOBH saw Kim relapse in front of our eyes and we’re ALL talking about it. Lisa R and Eileen aren’t the only people talking about this, so Kim………SHUT THE FUCK UP! AND GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP!
There is no excuse for Brandi…..she’s an alcoholic and she enables Kim IMO. Plus she’s NOT a nice person. I’d like to see Brandi go. There is something very wrong with her. I don’t know if she was such a loose cannon before Leeanne stole Eddie from her, but Brandi needs to own what she says and does and change that behavior! It’s just not a healthy lifestyle! It’s not a pretty look on her either! Brandi needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DISSAPPEAR.
@Kate: I agree… Brandi is definitely an alcoholic. The person who deflects and defends as viciously and she does when someone calls them on their drinking behavior is most definitely an alcoholic. The person who is not an alcoholic would simply laugh at the accusation, because they know it to not be true.
My dad was in recovery for many years. He had this saying… If one person tells you that you have a tail growing out of your back, your going to laugh and think nothing of it. But if several people are telling you that you have a tail growing out of your back, you are going to turn around and take a look. She knows… She’s just not ready to face it.
As a person who is in recovery herself, and has plenty of first hand experience with addict behavior- Kim is in serious trouble. Everything everyone has commented so far is true- she deflects, takes no responsibility, intimidates and seems to be under the insane impression that you can take pain meds if you have a “reason”. It’s infuriating and sad. I can’t stand her, but at the same time I guess I should have compassion for someone so sick- just hard with her being so utterly insufferable.
I almost had to turn the show off because of Brandi’s screeching. I don’t think I can watch next season if they don’t get rid of her. Why didn’t Andy show the full clip about her talking in detail about Kim’s use and her concerns? Frustrating.
Re: BG’s face & all the plastic surgery/injections these chicks have had…. I have debilitating migraines which have increased due to my “hormonal changes” so I finally took my Dr.’s advice & recently went to specialist that gave me botox injections in head & neck muscles for FDA approved treatment for migraines….. HOLY SHIT! It hurt like hell!!! I cannot fathom the pain of those needles being put in my face for vanity reasons, especially to come out looking like BG’s puffy uneven disgusting “botched” look. Wtf? Also, I was asking my Dr about ppl who do it in face w botox & fillers out of curiosity & Doc said if fillers end up too puffy there is antidote injections to dissolve the fillers. (The more you know ⭐️
This episode did not give me anxiety….. it just pissed the hell outta me. I’m so sick of Kim’s claim to being sober. As many have stated, she may be sober but she is NOT clean. It pisses me off because it takes away from those who truly do the work and who truly are fighting for their sobriety. My mom was one of those. She was sober AND clean the last ten years of her life and her first year of being so she did two meetings a day for an entire year. My childhood (or rather lack of) was horrible and when my brother started using it was hell. One thing an addict or alcoholic does not like is being called out on their bull crap. It took me several years in Al Anon to finally realize, come to terms with and accept that there was My Mom and My Mom the alcoholic and my brother and my brother the addict. Kim is despicable and Brandi needs to come on down south and try throwing her height and hand gestures around down here. She thinks that lil ole scratch from Kyle’s bracelet hurt? Mwwwwhahahahahaha she hasn’t felt nothin’ yet. Sadly, I so recognized the look on Kyle’s face. Part fear, part shame and a whole heapin’ of hurt. When someone helped hold your family together as you in your disease was ripping it apart, when you finally reach SOBER, you’re appreciative and humble. She’s evil. That eye changing look ppl have spoke about. Yup I saw it too. Personally, I’d rather be a “homewrecker” (which I’m not 32 yrs married) than the mother and persons that Brandi and Kim are.
They lost me (even further if that was possible) when they started taking the piss out of Lisa R for doing reality tv…. on a reality tv show…..
Do they want to discuss dignity and pride? Hows about not turning up on TV bombed just to get your pay cheque? These two, Kim and Brandi particularly, perpetuated the storyline as much as Lisa R – I do believe she went a bit far but what was Brandi’s storyline this season apart from hitting people about the head? I think she’s jelly of Kyle – the one with the supposedly good looking “Latin” husband, her fabulous friend Lisa V, connections with the uber wealthy via Kathy and some coin in the bank. Sure Brandi was a pretty girl back in the 90’s but didn’t she meet Eddie when she was a beer model – hardly apart of the Trinity!!!!!
Please recap Brandi’s Blog!!!!! I’d love to see your take on Brandi’s claims of single handedly making Vanderpump Rules what it is today by delivering the audience……
After this reunion show, I am STILL TEAM KIM….. Kyle was crying because of her loss of the old Kim that let Kyle say and do whatever while Kim remained quiet. Lisa Rinna is the biggest PHONY of all the real house wives franchises right now…. Lisa Rinna was totally wrong to keep picking at Kim in Amsterdam after she was asked not to….. So If Kim wants to let her know what’s up so that Lisa Rinna will back off, so be it…. KIM HAS THE RIGHT TO PROTECT HERSELF if any one comes for her and Lisa Rinna definitely came for her….with her FAKE ass disposition. TEAM KIM all the way!!!
I don’t think anyone mentioned, and perhaps it was part 1… but I really think Kim almost broke when Lisa R said that, prior to the limo, she had only known Kim to be lovely and sweet. Maybe it was editing, but they cut to Kim’s face and I think it shook her for a moment.
What I thought interesting was Andy really likes Kim and somewhat protective. Tamara did you pick up on that or did I misread it?
I think that Andy is not above taking advantage of an addict for ratings but on the reunion he wishes to give the appearance of compassion.

That makes sense because he gave her a lot of leeway at least in my view
Uhg! Lisa R is going totally overboard with the “don’t shut me down” she’s interjecting at the wrong times and getting on Andy’s nerves all night. Why does everyone think that Kim was being soon mean to Kyle at the end ? She never said that she was gonna take her kids away or that she was disinvited from the wedding! Kyle kept putting those words in her mouth and she worked herself up all by herself! Then, saw where someone said Kim was awful again for saying to Kyle.. ” do you wanna go there, let’s lay it all out!” She said that in response to Kyle saying to her .. “Do you wanna have an honest conversation ? do you ? ” Kyle was very threatening and she said it first to Kim! I interpreted that exchange to mean that they both have dirt because they’re sisters and they obviously know one another’s darkest secrets. So they were both saying ok , you wanna go there? Cause I’ll go there too! How do you all see this so one sided? Brandi is intolerable and Kim can be an idiot but damn ! They’re not wrong in every instance. Especially Kim. Lisa R really worked my nerves on both the reunions . She’s such an attention whore.
