Kyle Richards confirmed on Amazon Live on Tuesday that she still hasn’t officially returned to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
While addressing a number of Bravo-related rumors, including an ultimatum she allegedly was dealt, and sharing her thoughts on her past and present co-stars, Kyle, 55, confirmed if she is in contact with Dorit Kemsley, 47, and revealed which one-season wonders she felt deserved a second season.
During an April 30 appearance on Amazon Live, after being asked about her potential return for season 14, Kyle stated, “I can’t confirm that right now.”
As for claims of Chelsea Handler, 49, joining the show, which the comedian has denied, Kyle added, “There’s always so many rumors. I really don’t believe that one at all. I would not hold your breath for that one.”
Last month, with the season 14 cast remaining up in the air, it was alleged by the Daily Mail that Kyle had been dealt with an ultimatum from producers: Either showcase what’s really going on with Morgan Wade, 29, or be fired.
“I don’t even know what I’m doing yet, guys, so that can’t be true,” Kyle said of the report.
Looking back at her past and present castmates, Kyle said longtime family friend Faye Resnick, 66, has been asked to return.
“Faye was a cast member, and then I think they asked her again, and she said no,” she shared.
For Kyle, it’s hard to say which season had the best cast. However, she did give a nod to the group from season one, which included Lisa Vanderpump, 63, Adrienne Maloof, 62, Kim Richards, 59, Camille Grammer, 55, and Taylor Armstrong, 52.
“The original cast was amazing … we’ve had so many great people,” she stated.
At the conclusion of RHOBH season 13 earlier this year, Kyle and Dorit’s friendship was strained. And still, months later, they remain estranged.
“I haven’t seen her or spoken to her actually,” Kyle confirmed.
As for who she’s had the most contact with since filming wrapped, Kyle said, “I would say [Sutton Stracke] and [Erika Jayne].”
On the heels of the exits of Annemarie Wiley, 41, and Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41, Kyle was asked who was most deserving of a second season.
“[Diana Jenkins] and Annemarie,” she replied. “I really liked [Kathyrn Edwards], Diana, and Annemarie. I don’t know, I would’ve liked to see more of them.”
She then addressed her acting career, saying she’s been “taking a break.”
“You know what’s funny, I just had a movie come out recently, and I never even watched it,” she added.
