Kyle Richards is reportedly controlling the storyline on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her alleged “producer” role within the series — and her castmates aren’t happy about it.
As Kyle, 55, attempts to dodge prying questions about her personal life from her co-stars, including inquiries about her marriage to Mauricio Umansky, 54, his potential cheating, and the nature of her relationship with singer Morgan Wade, 30, the other women of the cast have allegedly had enough and want to “take her down.”
“Her and Dorit Kemsley are going at it, and the other women are not holding back — à la Sutton Stracke discussing infidelity and Garcelle Beauvais’ tongue-in-cheek [remark] telling [Kyle] to be a lesbian if it makes her happy,” a source revealed to OK! Magazine on January 15.
Although the cast may not have mentioned the rumors previously, they have reportedly grown tired of Kyle’s supposed refusal to speak candidly about her life on camera.
“The women are truly sick of her always acting like the queen bee and not being completely transparent,” the insider claimed. “Some of them definitely are attempting to take her down this season, however, she’s a producer on the show. Due to her role as a producer, the story always tends to go her way, and she tends to typically get what she wants, regardless of that being unfair to any other cast members on the show.”
Some of the women, including Kim Richards, 60, have even suggested that RHOBH is “Kyle’s show” because of “things being swayed her way.”
“Even her sister Kim felt like it when she was on the show — and why wouldn’t she?” the source wondered. “Kyle outed her for being an alcoholic on TV in a moment where Kyle was able to make herself look better/the victim. Who does that to a sister? Kyle does.”
Adding insult to injury, according to the report, was the fact that the production company gave Kyle a diamond necklace for Christmas while the other women received speakers.
“She was bragging about it at Teddi Mellencamp’s baby shower,” the insider claimed.
“Kyle definitely has had her share of stuff in her closet for years, but again, with her being the producer, a lot tends to get buried or swayed,” they added.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
