Kyle Richards Previously Reflected On The Infamous Limo Scene With Sister Kim
The infamous limo fight between Kim and Kyle has lived on in “Housewives” history, often referenced on social media and in throwback scenes on the show.
While Kyle’s accusation about Kim eventually gave Kim the chance to speak openly about her struggles, the “Halloween” star previously admitted to regretting her behavior.
“That night should have never happened,” Kyle said, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish. “It was incredibly difficult to go through in the first place and even more difficult to watch and relive it,” she wrote. “There were problems brewing between my sister and me off camera. I’m not good at hiding my feelings as well as others, so I brought my feelings in front of camera.”

Kyle And Kim Richards Begged Bravo To Cut Fight Out Of Show
Kyle echoed those sentiments in the “Real Housewives” tell-all book, “Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It.”
Speaking with the book’s writer about the moment, Kyle explained how dealing with Kim’s drinking negatively impacted her.
“When people drink, they’re not the nicest people in the world, let’s just put it that way,” she said. “And it doesn’t bring out the best in others around them, either.”
Cohen also discussed the moment, revealing Kim and Kyle were “begging Evolution [the show’s production company] and Bravo to take the scene out of the show.”
Needless to say, the sisters didn’t get their way, and, according to Shari Levine, NBCUniversal Executive Vice President, it was to preserve the series’ integrity.

“All of the Housewives series are based on shooting people their lives and documenting their real interactions,” Levine said. “The series really does capture life as it happens. And everyone has moments that they want to keep off the air. The great equalizer for all the franchises is that it’s all out there. If it’s shot, we will edit it in.”

Kyle Has Experienced Major Changes Over Last Few Years
As for the current season of “RHOBH,” Kyle is back in the hot seat with her co-stars, who are pushing to learn more about the reality star’s alleged relationship with country singer Morgan Wade.
Kyle and Morgan first made headlines when the pair appeared to be cozying up to each other, after reports surfaced that Kyle and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, were splitting.
During a season 15 episode, Kyle admitted she was in another relationship after her time with Mauricio concluded; however, she didn’t name her ex-partner.
“It’s just complicated,” she said on the show. “I’ve gone through so much in these past few years, and it really has changed my perspective on life and how I want to live.”
“While I am sad about the relationship, I’m also really grateful. You get lost in being a wife and a mother, and you can kind of forget about who you are. And I learned a lot about myself in that time,” she added.

Kyle Talks About Possibly Leaving ‘RHOBH’
As for her time on the show, Kyle got candid about her possibly saying goodbye to the series.
“Listen, that day obviously will come,” she said, adding that she’s been on the series for a “long time.” She continued, “Fifteen years. It really is. It’s a long time. I don’t know how long this can go on, how long I can go for.”
“I mean, it’s very difficult for your life [to be] out there and have the world weighing in on analyzing things and people not knowing you know the full scope of full details,” she said. “And judging you without being able to explain everything, it’s very difficult. So it depends on what year and what season, whether I can handle it or not.”
