Kyle Richards is coming clean about her recent eye raising comments on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
On last Wednesday’s episode of RHOBH, Kyle turned heads when she admitted that she’d be open to dating women.
The RHOBH OG caused quite the stir when she revealed to her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives that she would be open to dating women during a lunch in Ojai to celebrate Annemarie Wiley’s birthday.
Kyle Richards‘ confession came about as Bravo’s first ladies of Beverly Hills played a raunchy card game during lunch. During the game Kyle asked: “Would you ever date a woman?”
The question shocked everyone, with Dorit Kemsley quipping: “Where the hell did that come from?” Sutton Stracke, on the other hand, noted, “That’s a weird question to ask randomly.”
While Sutton says she’d never, Garcelle Beauvais admits she’s definitely considered it.
“You know, there are times I think about it. If I’m going to be honest,” Garcelle confessed.
Crystal Minkoff then turns the tables and asks the RHOBH OG, “Would you?”
“Yeah, maybe,” Kyle Richards replied, which further shocked the ladies of RHOBH, specifically Dorit and Garcelle.
Garcelle noted that just a few years ago, Kyle told the ladies of RHOBH that she had “never done the girl thing,” so it was surprising to hear changing her tune all of the sudden.
“Kyle, a few years ago, was like shocked we that we would have threesomes or talk about making out with women,” Garcelle explained in her confessional. “And now she’s open to a relationship with a woman? I don’t know much, but I think there’s a country song somewhere in there.”
Kyle’s admission shocked the women of RHOBH and Bravo fans due her “friendship” with country singer Morgan Wade. In recent months, there has been speculation that Kyle and Morgan are more than friends amid Kyle’s separation from her husband Maurico Umansky.
Now, Kyle explains that she made those comments to rattle and poke fun at the preconceived notions her cast mates have had about her in the past.
“You know what, two reasons I said that,” she explained on the RHOBH After Show. “A, for shock value. B, because I’m at a place in my life where, I don’t know. I have zero judgment. Do you think I would ever get a tattoo before? So I was like, ‘Who am I to say? I don’t know!’ I’m not judging anything. Like, who knows? Whatever!”
The RHOBH OG explains that these days she’s more “open-minded.” In fact, Kyle shares that she wants to wipe “everything clean” and start fresh when it comes to everything in her life, including her beliefs on things.
The 55-year-old also admits that she regrets putting the spotlight on Morgan yet again with her comment.
“[Morgan] just wants to make music and all of a sudden she was thrust into this world of gossip and tabloids and traveling and having paparazzi take pictures of her,” Kyle said during on Amazon Live.
“She just doesn’t like any of that,” Kyle continued. “She just wants to make music and all of a sudden I had a lot of guilt, you know, that I put her in this position.”
“Of course I feel bad because it gave her anxiety, you know? See these headlines, and like I said, just thrust into the spotlight brought her anxiety.”
She concluded, “Like myself, she suffers from anxiety so I felt terrible to have put her in that position.”
Kyle and Morgan sparked dating rumors over the summer as the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was spotted spending more and more time with the country singer and less time with her husband, Mauricio Umansky.
Morgan’s debut appearance on season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills only sparked more questions about her relationship with Kyle as the RHOBH OG tattooed a “K” on her arm.
The two have continued to deny that they are dating but are inseparable and have matching tattoos and rings.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
