I can’t stand Kyle Richards. She’s a nasty, petty, narcissistic piece of work – in other words she’s perfect for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because the drama, backstabbing and catfighting come naturally to her. Yesterday I got an e-mail from the PopSugar network that alerted me to this new self help book by Kyle called Life Is Not a Reality Show: Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All. It’s just so ridiculous I had to share. In the book trailer on Amazon, Kyle calls herself “the quintessential girl’s girl” and says she wants to “share my thoughts on everything, from my personal life to how I dressed at night, to how I put myself together to how I get up and make my kids snacks in the morning.” That’s pretty much why Gwyneth Paltrow started Goop. She thought that the public wanted nothing more than to have her life, and Kyle suffers from the same delusion. Here’s the book description:
In the wild world of Beverly Hills, high-priced glam squads, flashy cars, and off-the-charts drama are the norm. Enter Kyle Richards: born and raised in the nation’s most dazzling neighborhood, she’s practically royalty in the 90210 zip code. And yet her loving family life, lack of pretention (no nannies, stylists, or personal chefs for this diva), and “girls’ girl” attitude make her a breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Now, she’s revealing how she achieves that perfect mix of celebrity and normality. In this collection of the best tips, advice, and strategies she knows, Kyle’s talking friend to friend so you can create that blend of glitz and know-how in your own life:

Kyle spackles on the makeup and she has huge fake hair extensions. She’s cruel to her sister and is a catty, petty person. Of course she considers herself an expert on everything and a “girl’s girl” when she’s anything but. This is going to sound super bitchy, but here goes. Like that evil drunken psychic last season on RHOBH, I get the impression that Kyle’s husband Mauricio is a cheater. He projects this good guy image, but he’s super slick and confident and I just get the cheater vibe from him. Maybe I’m hoping that’s the case because I just so thoroughly dislike Kyle. It’s wrong to wish ill will on people, but there you go.
Also, Lisa Vanderpump has a book out too. It’s called Simply Divine: A Guide to Easy, Elegant, and Affordable Entertaining. At least Lisa has experience in those matters, having owned successful bars and restaurants for decades. She does think it’s perfectly acceptable to have your dog eat at the table with you, though. No matter how cute the dog is, that’s just wrong.

A self-help book on how to be a nasty, high-school bully way into your late thirties! Oh, where can I pick up my copy! Ugh!
oops, replied to wrong person!
Kyle does not have hair extensions. If you watched the show you would know that.
I do watch the show and I think she’s full of crap about not having extensions.
I totally thought Kyle did not have fake hair. However, after the Jennifer Aniston confession, I am doubting my abilities to spot extensions.
don’t be so mad that you don’t have naturally long thick hair like she does. I’m Indian, and guess what? I happen to have long REAL hair, and so do many other women in my family. Not everyone with long hair is sporting extensions. Geez.
oh, please. of course she has hair extensions! look at the chunks of grown out bangs on the sides. the only parts hair extensions can’t completely cover.
Kyle Richards does not have hair extentions. If your going to write a blog at least get your facts straight no matter how lame
LMFAO are the richards trolling this page?
I don’t know what show you are watching, but it obviously is NOT the Housewives of BH. Kyle does NOT have hair extensions. That is her hair, which is why everyone dies for it. Her sister is an impossible, whiney, unfortunate alcoholic who is currently in rehab, and Kyle is very popular and well liked with the Bravo crowd. Last season she got a bad rap after the finale when she got a little bit out of hand with Kim, after Kim arrived at a party TOTALLY smashed and embarrassed herself, and everyone else.
Give me a break. Kyle and Mauricio have a loving marriage that is going on 17 years. I certainly hope you are wrong about him.
Have a good day.
Well I guess Kyle’s publicist told us!
Kyle ganged up on Kim with the others, verbally abused her and then prevented her from leaving the party so she could continue to yell at her and embarrass her when all Kim wanted to do was go home. I don’t see how that was Kim’s fault for being drunk.
I am sorry. I simply did not see it that way. Taylor was the one ganging up on Kim (since that was her only storyline.) Kyle was trying to get her to leave and then Kim started saying all this bizarre stuff about Kyle and Mauricio “stealing” her house. Kyle did not want her trashed sister spouting off lies, and she got angry with her.
We may just have to agree to disagree. I really do not like getting into these online fights, but I am a Kyle fan. Please don’t start yelling at me. Thanks. CG
I appreciate what you’re saying Cleveland and I get that you like Kyle, that’s cool. I don’t think I was yelling at you by telling you my perspective on what went down with that fight. I obviously really dislike her and you like her a lot. Different strokes 😉
-edit- However Kyle was not trying to get Kim to leave. Remember how Kyle called down to the limo service and specifically asked them to stall so that Kyle could go down and confront Kim? Kim wanted to leave and Kyle prevented her from doing that and ran down to see her before she could leave and that’s when that blowout fight happened.
I’m with Celebitchy on Kyle. Why would anyone want to read anything she wrote…that photo is repulsive. She tries to steal every scene, and I’m tired of watching her do the splits. Additionally, I think she has a very mean streak. She’s had something done to her face, because she can’t keep her tongue in her mouth…flicks out like Rachael Ray’s…lizard tongue…drives me nuts. That wasn’t the case last year. Kim is certifiable, so I don’t really have an issue w/ Kyle confronting her on last year’s show…glad she’s in rehab. Taylor is a FRAUD and that’s the nicest thing I can say about her. The only one I’m really crazy about is Camille…and never thought I’d say that, but she’s by far my favorite. In spite of my criticism, it’s the only Real Housewives’ show I watch, and it is addictive.
Kyle did gang up on Kim that time, but I think I hate Kim more than I can’t stand Kyle. Kim is INSANE and painful to watch anymore. On the episode last week she was again completely ridiculous and childish. Kyle has her moments of being likable, and then she ruins it with her petty BS over Brandi or whoever else she decides she doesn’t like for that 5 minutes. Kim on the other hand is never likable, IMO. I don’t get a cheating vibe from Mauricio, but what do I know. To me, he actually makes Kyle more tolerable.
i’m with celebitchy on this one. she so ganged up on her sister at every opportuinity. She always sided with the ohter women. She seems to be a little nicer to Kim this season since there was a backlashed. But, how phony was she this season causing all this Drama with Taylor and Russell at her white party when she couldn’t stand camille last season. I’m not sure about the hair extensions,it does look real.
JudyK..you are right!. Kyle does have a mean streak…she has tried to tone it down this season..To Kyle’s credit, she is an attentive mom and wife..an authentic house-wife..Taylor is as fake as they come in Ho-wood..fake lips…did something horrible to her face and she indulges in self-pity and does seem to have some serious undelying emotional issues. Lisa is a show-off..she is funny and witty, over dresses in almost all events she goes to..dripping in diamonds on a garden party. kim is self destructive and catty..nurses a grudge for a long time..her outbursts against Brandi was a bit juvinile.. she looks wizened/worn and much older than her real age and I think she should heal herself first emotionally and get rid of the demons that torment her before appearing on camera again..it is sad to watch Kim every week. Camille is a sweetheart, she should learn lessons from Adrienne on tact and diplomacy..she menas well but ends up getting herself in tight spots by saying the right things in a wrong manner. She is obviously broken-hearted over her broken marriage..but she is lucky she has friends that care about her. Adrienne is a darling. She is the richest and the kindest lady of the group. She is their front woman and she seems like a person that would be a really good friend to anyone.
Brandi is like a lost child. I don’t quite get why she is in the group and what she does for a living except for being Cibrain’s ex. Brandi is a fire-brand and totally unpredictable.
@Celebitchy … Yes! That’s exactly what I thought when I watched the episode (which was my ‘very’ first “Housewives of Beverly Hills” episode). Kim didn’t initiate the trouble (and I don’t even like kim!). When she tried to explain the situation to her sister, Kyle jumped down her throat. For that reason–and my first impression of Kyle–I’ve never much cared for her. She can go low and nasty in her bitchiness in a very ugly manner.
About the house stealing – that appears to be true according to a later episode. I thought Kyle seemed okay last season and I felt sorry for her after the way that nutjob psychic behaved at the dinner party from hell. But now I think it was just the editing that made her look somewhat likable last year because she’s probably the nastiest bitch on that show.
Case in point, even though I can’t stand Kim, telling her she was giving her a loan for her interest in the house (that was no way near representative of the actual amount of her share) when she was desperate and then shortly thereafter when she wanted to pay her back refusing to give her the share back is just beyond disgusting. It was her own sister who obviously is not very financially or mentally sound and she clearly took advantage of her. Then there is all the petty crap she did this season which like her or not made her look like a complete bully. She even admits on her own Bravo blog how bad she looks.
Completely agree with you! Kyle was a fav last year but this year I believe she was catty enough to make a snark to Camille that started a whole fight last year. Her personality is just like her looks. At first you think she’s a wonderful person and beautiful but the more you know of her and look at her the uglier she gets. When she takes her hair away from her face, you can see how manly her face looks not to mention her man-hands.
Her lips look so fake yet she talks about trying to stay all natural.
I think her and Mauricio are so sleezy considering what they did to Kim. Mauricio is the one in real estate so he definitely had a huge hand in the house pie. Also, I get the feeling he has a wandering eye but he works for Paris Hilton’s dad real estate company so he’s tied to Kyle financially besides the kids. Considering her desperation to always be the center of attention and nastiness to others, I’d say her life isn’t as perfect as it looks. On the other hand, Lisa is a woman who looks very happy in her marriage and life.
If you read the blogs, Kyle denies the house stealing and wrote she payed both sisters the same to buy the property. So if she and Mauricio are so sleazy why hasn’t Kathy Hilton been yelling about Kyle stealing her house, too. Why are Kim’s kids close to Kyle at all if she’s such a mean, house stealing bitch. Kyle wrote 20 grand is what Kim wanted to give them to buy back in and they said no and that is why Kim is pissed.
Sorry Kim doesn’t seem the most reliable historian, have you seen how she rewrote the Brandi fight to be Brandi started everything. Even Kyle admits she and her sister were out of line. But Kim doesn’t and tells Brandi she has a trucker mouth in one breathe and then drops and F bomb the next. But if she’s talking about Kyle,it’s Kim’s hand to God true…i just don’t think so.
@ Pizzazz – I think ur right about the Palm Springs house. I seriously doubt that K&M would buy that house for only $20k from Kathy Hilton, especially since Mauricio works for Kathy’s husband. Nobody thinks that house is worth only $60k ($20k x 3).
If the reason they took that house away from Kim was because of her addiction problems, then they should have given her a fair price. But $20k? That’s probably the value of just the driveway.
@ H6 – Cuz there’s no way in hell that Kathy Hilton would accept only $20k for that Palm Springs house. K&M wouldn’t even consider doing this to Kathy especially since Mauricio works at Kathy’s husband’s real estate company.
Rick Hilton isn’t going to be as easy to manipulate as Kim Richards is.
Kyle didn’t say whether she bought the house from Kathy, but if K&M did, they would have given Kathy way more than $20k.
@Anne
I don’t believe they stole the house from Kim period. It was left to the 3 for them and Kim and Kathy let Kyle buy them out. Mauricio is in Real Estate, it would not be smart for him to “steal a house” I think Kim is FOS and pissed that Kyle wouldn’t let her buy back in.
The difference between Kathy and Kim is that one still has money and the latter doesn’t. Kathy’s husband also has a real estate company that Mauricio works for so I doubt they screwed Kathy with the fair share of the house. But Kim is drunk out of her mind a good amount of time so it would be really easy to take advantage of her and I believe they did.
Wasn’t there a rumor that one of the husbands from RHOB had a child with a maid or nanny? Some help and it’s all hush hush. Don’t recall any more than that but I always assumed it was Mauricio.
And Kyles talk all the time about how GREAT her marriage is, how WONDERFUL her husband is ALL the time tells me… it’s not perfect and he’s not that great all the time.
Good marriages just are, they are not bragged about endlessly like Kyle does.
17 years is a long time doesn’t mean they are happy or he’s not cheating or hasn’t cheated. Proves nothing.
“That is her hair, which is why everyone dies for it.”
They said the same thing about Aniston; nothing was more popular world-wide than The Rachel, and people still love her hair today. And look how that turned out? As for popular with Bravo, she might be popular to the Producers for creating drama, but she is hated amongst the Housewives, and is THE most hated Housewife with the public. Whether it be with Kim (equally dispicable), or with Camille, or with Brandi, Kyle is a nasty and malicious bully who is always the one to cause trouble and drama. Dubois had her pegged right. She is an instigator who starts trouble. She is the most hated for a very good reason and the sooner she is axed from the show (and Brandi installed in her place as a permanent member) the better. I believe the only people who like Kyle are bullies themselves. She only seems to attract that sort of people who find nothing wrong with bullying and hounding a new gal instead of welcoming them. The sooner she is sacked and axed from the show and gone for good the better and if we keep emailing tweeting Bravo to get her sacked and to have Brandi made permanent, we can make it happen.
Did she think that she looked good on that cover?! The lips- oy! I can’t remember where I read it, but it was about how Mauricio wasn’t hot when they first got married- he had money, but was kind of a plain jane and has since grown into his hotness. I get a cheater vibe off him too- L.A. realtors will do pretty much anything to close the sale.
I find her pretentious and vacant. I am surprised she doesnt have a nanny but maybe that’s because she wouldn’t trust one around her husband. As for Lisa I would never buy a book about entertaining from her or eat at her restaurant after her nonsense with Giggy. That was so disgusting. The way she has her dog around her and other people’s food is enough to make me vomit. I wonder if anyone has ever found dog hair in their food at one of her fine establishments.
Obviously nobody ever did or else her restaurants would not continue to be the top restaurants in LA and favorite celebrity hangouts.
Give the woman some credit – she is smart, sassy and business savvy. Do you think she would allow the dog anywhere near where the food is being prepared? Do you honestly think she is dumb enough to hazard public outcry and an f-ing health inspection/suspension is something like that happened?
She loves that dog like her baby, so of course he goes everywhere with her. But she is ovbiously conscious where he can and cannot be, and how to behave with him in public.
And the fact that he eats from her table – big deal. It is she who allows it to happen, at her table or her establishment, and she has full right to do so. You don’t lke people doing that, nobody forces you to hang out with them or join them for food. You have the right not to like what she does, but she has complete right to do it.
And to suggest that the food preparation and handling is somehow unsanitary in her restaurants simply because she carries the dog with her to work, is just ridiculous. He is bald, and wearing pajamas all the time. And she does not work as a cook.
I don’t think Kyle has hair extensions.
Also, she was in Watcher in the Woods, one of my favorite childhood movies. Does this preclude me from ever holding a hostile opinion of her? Perhaps. But does it preclude me from making an educated guess on whether or not the woman has hair extension? Not so much; pretty sure that’s all her hair.
But you’re right about the book cover: ridiculous.
“(Her tips on applying glam-inducing false eyelashes alone are a must read.)”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAA
That is all
I do not see any hotness in Mauricio. There are plenty of hot BH men, and he is certainly not one of them. It’s another delusion of Kyle’s.
Did you watch last episode of rhobh? It was divine. For first time we could see their real faces. They almost ate alive that phony bitch Taylor. It was priceless to watch how people with real money and real power are doing everything to protect themselfs.
I have watched the show and I think it is her hair. Some people have nice hair without the use of extension. She seems to have a good marriage. Not perfect I guess but 17 years is a long time. He seems to love her and their children are adorable. But looking at the episodes you can see that despite money they are not aging well any of them. the close up shots show the age. I have friends older that look way younger. And they are not getting plastic surgery or botox or injections. they are just women that are aging the way nature intended. Beautiful women in fact
Regarding Kyle and Kim. Having gone through the emotional stress of a family member with a serious drinking problem and not getting the help they need. Let me say I saw that episode and understood from experience what Kyle was going through. A part of you wants to scream to the world what they are doing and yes embarrass them hoping it will make them want to get help, and the other part wants to protect the “secret” keep them safe and not let the outside world know the ugliness. And yes sometimes you get so angry that you want to hurt them in some way. To lash out because they are destroying you and the family. And to maybe make them feel what you and the other family members around you are feeling everyday. The staying up late at night because you don’t know if they are going to drive drunk or set the house on fire from cooking and falling asleep. Waiting for some phone call. A drug addict or alcoholic destroys the people that love them. And while I think Kyle was rough I know exactly the place she came from. This is her older sister. She watched her mother worry about her then when the mother died she became the parent to the sibling that should have been “parenting” her. It is a hard thing that you can’t really put into words. But when you are the person trying to help that person in addiction. It changes you. It erases who you were meant to be and you will never be that person again. They damage a family. And I don’t say that as a way of saying it is on purpose. but the results are the same. And Kyle has been doing this for years while trying to have a family of her own.
My family member is sober and healthy now for many years. but I still wait for the phone call and still to this day have that little fear in my heart that it could start over again. That is what I meant by it changing you. You live with that always and again unless you have gone through it.. you just can’t understand that pain and fear of watching some you love do this to themselves
Very elegantly said. I couldn’t agree more.
Everything you said about addiction from the perspective of a family member was spot on. My MIL is an alcoholic (and a raging narcissist). We stopped speaking to her when she drive drunk with my (then) 10 month old son in her car. To this day, she plays the victim and tells people that my husband and I are the cruel and insensitive ones for cutting her off (while we keep her behavior secret, as not to embarrass her). My husband has also been “parenting” his mother (caring for his little sister when his mother was too drunk to do so, paying his mother’s bills, and buying her cars when she crashed them). Having lived through these experiences, I understand why Kyle treats Kim the way she does. It may not be right and it doesn’t make her look good, but I’d imagine there’s a lot more to their story than we’re aware of.
@Morticians – did your MIl own a restaurant? Only asking because my last job was managing a diner, the owner was a raging alcoholic binge-drinker, and would create her own drama so that she would have an excuse to drink. Valentine’s Day, four years ago, we got into the nastiest fight. She told me I was a vindictive bitch who was trying to steal her business and her husband, I went off the rails in the office, said everything I’d been wanting to say for five out of the six years I worked for her. Quit at 3pm on the second busiest day of the year. My point being, if you had just caught bits and pieces of relationship, then cut to this nasty scene of me coming unhinged – I’m a sturdy 5’9″, and my mean face is scary – then you would think my employer was the victim.
But I do have to say – Kyle is a nasty piece of work. I excuse her for her behavior towards her sister, cause who the hell am I to judge what’s really going on, but Kyle does seem mean underneath, and also like an attention whore. I mean, how many times have we seen Kyle do the splits and then mention how happy Mauricio is?
@desertrose, no! My MIL didn’t own a damn thing until she swindled her dying father (who she didn’t talk to for 20 years) out of every penny he had (including the money that was in her siblings trust funds). She worked in the office of a public school, and went to work drunk every day. After YEARS of this her employer told her she had to go to rehab or he’d fire her. She went to a outpatient rehab in FL (where my alcoholic SIL and her alcoholic husband live) and came home claiming she was sober. She even “hosts” AA meetings, even though she still goes to the bar and gets drunk.
I don’t blame you for handling the situation with your boss the way you did. You can only take so much poor treatment before you snap. Unfortunately, as you said, she uses those situations to justify her drinking and reinforce her victim persona. It’s a twisted and manipulative existence, and if you had stayed she would have sucked you into her vortex of misery. I’m glad you got away.
Wow . . .so many similarities in these ladies. My old boss was a school secretary until she married a high-up in the power company,same one my hubby works for, thankfully they left town on a transfer after the restaurant closed. (Exactly 22 days after I quit. Just saying.) She would claim to be sober, and some days she was, go to AA meetings, all the while binge drinking in secret. I loved this woman when I started working for her. Thought she was so great. About a year into it, things got wonky after I saw her PLASTERED when we both happened to be in LA one night. You lie about something that big, people start to question other things. It was a rocky road from there after, and while I know why I exploded that day, it’s definitely not one of my shining moments lol
@Lisa, I know exactly how you feel….no matter how clean and sober your family member is, it’s always there, waiting to sneak up on you. Yes Kyle can be mean to her sister, but, walk a mile in her shoes and the people who do, know exactly what I’m talking about. In my family, we’ve had some “Jerry Springer” moments, not pretty at all and thank god, no television cameras to catch the moment.
‘Kyle and Kim’s mother, the ‘incredible’ woman with her ‘unique lessons on life’ died in 2002. They were all grown up adults with their own families. Kyle was 33, and Kim was 38. It makes me laugh that at that age they still needed ‘mothering’, or that one stepped up after the mother’s death to start mothering the other.
Please. From all indications their mother was a fricking monster with no social graces, no humility and no compassion. She had no clue how to live a normal life – she taught the girls to pretend that someone ‘does not exist’ for crying out loud, if they did not like that person. That is normal? She taught them that NOBODY was ever good enough for them. That’s normal?
She gave them no tools to deal with normal, real life, and they are so brainwashed that they seem to think she was something else, and are pasing on her dumb, ridiculous, narcissistic advice and outlook on life, onto their own kids now.
Just this one phrase from the book ad about her mother – ‘she was an extraordinary mother teaching all the children her unique take on life’ made me laugh at how pathetic the Richards sisters are.
How can she says she doesn’t have any help and does it all herself? Anyone who watches the show sees that she has someone do her hair and makeup for stuff (maybe just big events like her parties but still) and she has her friend decorating her house…..what BS! I can’t stand her either CB!
I don’t care if she has hair extensions or not. She is vile, self-important, awful, petty, mean, and pretentious. And she looks ridiculous on that cover. Well, also in every other picture.
Mauricio is darling and has it all: tall, dark, handsome, successful, and from the few episodes i caught while stateside, very, very kind and apparently very, very patient…i think Kyle is damn lucky.
I cannot STAND this trick. She is a name dropping, pretentious, MEAN and vile person. Did you see the ep last season when her daughter graduated? The Hilton family called in and all Kyle could say “Where’s Paris? Hi Paris, hi nikki!” She wants to be famous so desperately and I guess she got her wish now. She’s a large part of the reason I stopped watching the show. She thinks her shit don’t stink and I’ve got news for her: I can smell it from 3000 miles away.
Not only is she a mean girl, she’s a liar. The episodes featuring Paul Nassif show Kyle all sick over injections, but that girl’s forehead hasn’t moved all season, and if those lips are real – they sure are fug. I would love having her life – if her husband didn’t give me the cheater-vibe, if her friends weren’t backstabbing bitches, if her family weren’t all famewhores. But yeah-the house and that level of money would be great lol
I like Kyle. I do think she keeps it real and yet has fun with what is obviously some ridiculous moments for television viewing pleasure.
And family dynamics are messy. I don’t think she is a bad sister, I just think she’s human and has likely been dealing with a difficult situation for a very long time.
I like Kyle too. I think she’s funny and very entertaining on the show. I think she suffers a little from arrested development. She reminds me a lot of how we all acted in high school, which is snarky/sarcastic and can be mean–but I don’t think she is evil.
I think she is just one of those women who never HAD to grow up. She’s been taken care of her whole life so was never forced to move past the “clique” stage of life.
FINALLY! I’ve gotten so sick of reading how Kyle is the sweet one so it’s refreshing to find someone who can see through her b.s. She’s such a phony and I don’t know who is cattier – her or Lisa. Put them together with Taylor and Kim and they really become mean girls. The only one who seems above that for the most part is Adrienne. Kyle is nothing but a nasty, pot-stirring, egotistical, arrogant snob. It’s ridiculous the way she tries to do damage control for her bad behavior on her bravo blog. Nobody’s buying it sweetheart!
I get the cheating vibe from Mauricio too, alot. I also have read in numerous sites and comments that she does not have hair extensions. Personally I can’t stand her. As far as nannies, I remember in the 1st season her nanny/live-in sitter up and moved out in the middle of the night (Kyle said this in one of her talking heads on the show) and she had no idea what happened,etc. The first thing I thought was the nannie/sitter was doing the nasty with Mauricio and got the boot before it was found out and on the show.
I am going to sound totally naive, but I actually like Kyle. (And Lisa, Camille and Adrienne, who’s got more sense than any of them.) She seems pretty down to earth, and I think she and Mauricio make a cute couple…I hope he wouldn’t be the type to cheat because he seems so….I don’t know, genuine.
Still, Camille is my favorite. She seems like she’d be a lot of fun to hang out with, provided she kept her 90s dancing to a minimum.
But as far as the one who repulses me on that show, it’s Taylor, with her horse mouth, spending 60K on a toddler’s birthday party, and hanging around a guy who beats her. I could throttle her, but I suspect it was done already.
Kim is the very definition of a hot mess. The End.
I agree 100%
‘and she hangs around the guy who beats her’.
Well, actually there is NO PROOF that he ever, EVER TOUCHED HER like that.
You may chose to believe her, but I think she is a pathological liar who accused her husband of horrendous acts of violence just to stay on the show that otherwise would have fired her for not ‘bringing drama’.
On the limo ride after getting kicked out of the white party, it was clear THAT HE HAD NO CLUE what the problem really was, no clue to what lengths Traylor Trash stabbed him in the back, and how little regard she had for him, his ‘business’, his family (i.e. his 3 kids) in her hunt for reality tv fame.
It was clear that he was having his Aha! moment in that limo, realizing what a monster she is, and what she’s done behind his back.
I’m also convinced that if there was any abuse in that marriage, IT WAS TRAYLOR TRASH ABUSING RUSSELL. She is extremely volatile, senslessly aggressive, and thrives on conflict and drama. She’s a drama queen who goes from zero to ‘end of the world’ in a split second, and she never once chose the high road, the conflict avoidance, but each time chose to stir the crap and lash out at anyone in her eyesight.
As to Vyle Kyle – she is as disgusting and nasty as Traylor, she just masks it better. I used to wonder why she’d hang out with Traylor, since on the first season she did seem so nice and definitely the viewers’ favorite. Then after several episodes this season I had an epiphany – she is just as vicious, hatefully, bullying, jealous, stupid, vapid, desperate and juvenile as Tray, that’s why they are such great friends. Vyle can’t stay away from the drama either, making herself the center of attention any chance she gets, sometimes at the most inopportune and inconvenient moments.
That book of hers is a JOKE!!! And anyone who is stupid enough to go and buy it deserves to have their money taken from them.
As to Mauri – there is something about him that makes him come across as sleazy. He never yet gave viewers any reason to hate on him, but his general deportment just seems so ‘used car salesman’ it is revolting to me. And the fact that Vyle can’t accept a single complement on the strenght of her marriage and on Mauri’s dedication to her, without making snide and catty comments on them in private, always crowned with the rabid cat hiss and ‘Stay away from my husband! I’ll claw your eyes out! makes me think that she does not really love him, she loves the idea their marriage presents to the outside. She clearly treats him like her prized posession, and seems to be lacking trust in his honesty and his devotion to her. If you have to keep threatening women away from your husband, obviously there are deeper problems in your marriage than just misplaced complements.
‘Girly girl who does it all’ – now that is the funnies and most off base, unjustified and undeserved remark about Vyle ever uttered.
I love how some people think that Kyle is mean and bullying her sister. LOL. I guess most of you chicks have no idea what it’s like to have a sister. My sister is like that toward me. She can be patronizing sometimes and talks down to me like a mother, which pisses me off. I have to put her in her place and let her know not to talk to me that way and she’d apologize.
Sometimes we fight and bicker a lot, but in the end, we’ve always made up and have always been there for each other. I know she cares about me and I care about her too.
Kyle is NOT a bully toward Kim, Kim is obviously a train wreck mess and Kyle is worried about her safety and well-being and just wants the best for her. Their relationship is actually not unheard of for some families.
You sound you were unlucky enough to get an asshole for a sister like Kim did. Kyle is a bully to everyone, not just Kim.
LOL. Whatever.
I, too, feel sorry for you. It’s clear you had an abusive bully of a sister too and can’t even admit it. Now you’re defending other people’s insanity? you should be ashamed of yourself.
I agree with JM. There is a difference between normal sibling banter and tiffs, and Kyle and Kim’s dynamic. Unfortunately, people who grow up with abuse and have not experienced a normal life without it, think their life is normal, when it is not normal at all. Jazz Fab fits that to me. People like that have no idea that that ‘reality’ is not right and not the reality of people out there who have functional relationships with their siblings. They cannot comprehend that their family situation is disfunctional, because its all they know. They don’t know any different.
She does have nannies, they’re called housekeepers. Remember she said that one of them ran away…er…left without a word in the middle of the night? This caused her a bit of a problem because that particular housekeeper was supposed to watch the kids while K & M were in Napa, irrc?
Also, she does have stylists. I’ve seen a hair stylist with her on numerous occasions. Haven’t I seen a makeup artist with her too? As for a clothes stylist, I can’t remember, but look at her batwings blouses. Maybe she needs a 24/7 clothing stylist.
She’s always calling herself a girl’s girl at the same time as saying her girl-victims aren’t, because she can sense it somehow. Just weird. If you’re a girl’s girl, then the last people you attack just for existing is a girl. Duh.
Kyle is so far up Taylor’s butt that now she thinks duck lips are good too. Just insane.
@ ‘Kyle is so far up Taylor’s butt that now she thinks duck lips are good too. Just insane’
Bwahahahahahahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa
Sorry CB she’s not my fav either but the hair is REAL. Kim is a delusional drug addict in denial and deserves what she gets from her own sister that has probably supported her and her addict BS for years. At least she’s highly protective of her and in her eyes she’s the only one allowed to give Kim a hard time. I do think she’s a sh*t stirrer though and thrives off drama.
I will concede that her hair might be real, I hear you guys on that. If so its just about the only real thing about her.
I’ve pondered it for a while and came to the conclusion her hair is real. Mostly because of the way she is always playing with it. It moves. Most people with extensions barely touch their hair or move it lest they be seen (excluding Britney).
I used to have very long thick hair and was always moving it out of the way and touching it.
Just my $.02
I’m just having a problem finding a correlation between having “real” hair and being real (read: girl’s girl)as a person. BTW if she ever tries to say she doesn’t indulge in injections I’ll die because my head will explode. Her forehead doesn’t move and her lips scream DUCK just as much as Taylor’s.
I agree 100%. Kyle is vile! She is cruel, petty, so very insecure and so NOT a girls girl.
She is totally the girl in high school who befriended you and then talked crap about you behind your back & stole your boyfriend.
I wanted to slap her when she said why cant we all just age naturally? Please!! Between the filler and botox in that face and those ducks lips & that fake hair — there is nothing real about her and i guarantee her husband cheats. I think its kind of known around town that their oh so happy marriage is a total farce.
She is so jealous her sister Kim was more famous in her hey day than she ever was or will be and she tries to take it out on Kim now by putting her down. She is desperate & pathetic.
I think Bravo should start calling these shows The Desperate, Pathetic, Washed Up Housewives of Beverly Hills, OC, NY, etc.
Actually, there is one thing REAL about her appearance. Her love handles, her muffin top, her fat rolls.
She is very stocky, out of shape, just fat. That’s why she keeps dressing in those ‘flowy’ frocks, to cover up the lines and details of her body. That may be one of the reasons why Mauri would have a wondering eye (and who knows what more).
She is blaming it on her pregnancy weight gain, but for crying out loud she had that baby in 2008. 3 years is an exceedingly long time to hang to your baby weight. SO on top of everything else we hate about her she is a liar, and a lazy ass who would not even work out to get back in shape.
And that picture on the cover confirms it – she is so big, so thick in her trunk and butt area that even thoes dresses can’t hide it.
I totally agree about her having cosmetic procedures, and even though she always denies it I believe she is wearing extensions.
Hey, everyone thought Jen Maniston had gorgeous, healthy hair and did not need extenstion. And she just cut it shorter and blamed it on the hair looking ratty because of the extensions,
So you can’t trust anyone in Hollywood and what they insist on regarding their appearance.
Can’t say that the hair is fake, my daughter is 42 and has a full head of georgous thick wavy naturally blonde hair down to her waist…got that thick hair from her daddy not ME…lol .
As for the rest of her will shes as fake as anything thing thats ever come out of that town….Can’t stand to look at her let alone her that voice of hers…This is a completely nasty woman….
Ive seen her in person, very close up, on several occasions and she does have alot of hair/thick but she uses extensions as well. Her hair is pretty frizzy because its so thick. Her hair wouldnt be as glossy or long without the extensions.
“…with her extraordinary mother teaching all the children her unique take on life.”
The art of the beej: extraordinary.
Nasty skanks, the whole family. I love RHOBH, but this book is off-the-charts offensive. And her hair is real. All she’s good for is growing a head of hair.
Thank goodness, finally some others that cannot stand Kyle and her “phoney” B.S..
Her husband can stay, though. Hey there, Officer Mauricio.
I was watching RHOBH once and Kyle was having her make up done by her MUA for an event. When Mauricio walked in the room, he was gushing and staring at the MUA like he was undressing her with his eyes…so, I get that “cheater vibe” off him too. I am friends with him on FB and you should see the women that post message on his page…he gets propositioned all the time. If gorgeous women are continually throwing themselves him, I find it hard to believe that any man would find it easy to stay faithful – especially Mr. Undressmewithyoureyese. As for Kyle…I cannot stand her. Her and her pantene hair commercial hair drive me crazy and the way she obsesses over other women staying away from her husband make her look so needy and pathetic.
I like Kyle. I can’t help it. like her a LOT less this season but i agree with the people who say that she has had a lot to deal with Kim, people are happy to bring up the thing about the house over and over again but no one ever mentions that Mauricio supported Kim!
However she’s an immature, high schoolish bitch. The way she and Kim cackled about Brandi on game night and that whole thing about Brandi’s nipples was out of line. Brandi was her host and Kyle was awful.
But she still makes me laugh, she seems like a great mum, a loving wife and sister. Is she too hard on Kim? yeah! is anybody perfect? no! I can’t judge her on the way she is with Kim cos anyone with eyes can see that Kim is a mess, it must be so frustrating to see your big sister act so self destructive.
That being said i have no interest in her damn book. I don’t know why she even bothered writing one
Was anyone else uncomfortable last week when Kim kept on saying “a pretty girl like you, with a mouth like that” ? It was like she had rehearsed that line, and was just going to keep saying it. And then trying to push her daughter to make her fight her fights for her. I was truly embarrassed for her.
I do like Kyle. I don’t always think she knows that what she is saying to others can be hurtful, but she seems to have her heart in the right place (in most situtions).
Yes. That was totally uncomfortable and awkward.
I have to say that I hate it when women who wear extensions don’t fess up to it cause it just makes them other women with naturally long thick hair look bad =/
You nailed it on the head CB – Kyle is as mean as a snake. Hateful, jealous and unkind to her very core.
She’s never struck me as someone who would ever read a book, let alone write one. “Lack of pretention” indeed.
Kyle and Kim have a dysfuctional family relationship. I’m not going to judge it we all have them.
That said… my sole interest in this book is the make up spackling. I’m hoping someone can finally teach me how to put on false lashes. I will read make up stuff from anyone (who can do it herself) – even the Lardassians. The rest NOT INTERESTED.
Try going on youtube for makeup tips. 🙂
I cancelled cable this year when did she get Taylor lips? ICK I liked her during the first season because she looked the least fake.
Random question – is the Goop site free?
Obviously, I have no interest in any tips from Gwynnie so I’ve never been but if it is it’s an unfair comparison. This book will cost money and become dated. A site is constantly updated and may be free if it’s advertiser supported or the owner can afford to maintain it on her own.
I have not watched any of the “Housewife” shows, just too annoying judging by the commercials. But I own a very similar outfit to the red turtleneck/jacket/jeans/boots she’s wearing..after reading all of the posts, that outfit is no longer on my list of favorite combinations..she sounds nasty just simply nasty.
I love all of you! These comments have been the brightest, cheeriest part of my day. Thanks for the snark!
At least she didn’t do the 80s club hair swing thing at her white party this year. Kim did it instead. I cringe just thinking about it. Does she really say she does everything without help? I’m pretty sure she has someone doing her hair and makeup before all her “events” and I think they’re in her closet when they do it… I am the same as a lot of other posters, I used to like Kyle, but now, she’s got that mean girl thing going. Adrienne Maloof seems to be the only one who hasn’t flip flopped all over the place. Kinda diggin’ Camille now as well. It’s Taylor Armstrong I cannot stand. Am APPALLED that she’s writing a book about her relationship with her deceased husband. Get therapy, spend time with your daughter, work in a shelter to help make a difference. This is one story that doesn’t need to be “told to help all the other women suffering out there.” God, she’s gross.
It’s obvious that’s exactly what happened. Kyle totally took advantage of her sister with the house business. I don’t think she even bothered to deny it in the episode. For me, that was definitely the turning point in thinking there was anything decent about her.
It is not unheard of for siblings to take next to nothing for a share of a house (well below the market value) so that one of them can own it outright but that wasn’t what happened here. Both Kim and Kyle said Kim needed money, unlike the other sister. So she would have taken anything which clearly she did with the understanding that she could buy back in for the same amount. Kim is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed and probably didn’t consult an attorney and then signed whatever Kyle and the hubbie’s attorney gave to her. I don’t doubt that for a second. Okay, so perhaps they thought well, she’d just blow the money or wreck the house if she owned it…something along those lines but that doesn’t justify basically stealing her share of the house from her by deception.
I can’t understand how anyone can defend that sort of behavior between siblings. Crazy mental or addict that she may be she still has four kids most that she supports. It’s just a joke that Kyle claims to ‘love’ her sister and take care of her. She loves to control her and is convinced that it’s okay for her to be this way because it’s for her own good. Sad.
Umm, Kyle didn’t know Kim was saying they stole the house for 20 grand until she saw Kim saying it on the episode. Do you really think the producers tell the housewives what the others are saying in their interviews cause I don’t. Kim also said Brandi started everything at Game Night. So I am not going to believe 2 people are theives based on Kim’s say so.
Kyle and Mauricio say they paided fair market value. It a case of she said, she said really. I hope it gets resolved on the reunion.
I’m not basing it on crazy Kim’s say-so. If you read my post, I said Kyle ADMITTED she did it. Just tried to justify not giving it back. No way was 20k fair market value for that Palm Springs home. Kyle was wrong. And yeah, I agree Kim has it all backwards about Brandi but how you can keep Kyle out of that…makes no sense. Kyle leads Kim around by the nose. Kyle also seems to enjoy it when those around her are fighting and she’s in the middle (such as Lisa and Taylor, Kim and Brandi, Adrienne and Lisa, Kim and Lisa, etc.).
Please tell me why the little girl is pictured with a VACUUM CLEANER??
If that were her son, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be posed w/ a vacuum.
I wish people would quit watching these shallow drama queens, in other words, all the housewives shows. They just make these women that think their s*it don’t stink think it even more.
We also don’t know how much money Kim borrowed against the equity of her portion of the house that was left to all 3 of the girls, Kim hasn’t worked in decades, her money was spent long ago from her films. She may owe both of her sisters loads of money they never plan on asking her to pay back. You can say “I didn’t get my fair share of the house” when in fact you have been being supported financially by your sisters and their husbands for years. Kyle and Kathy would never let Kim or her kids do without and I think Kim’s taken advantage of them for years with her refrain of “my childhood was stolen from me and used to support you both”. They’ve paid dearly having Kim for a sister, not the other way around. I’m okay with Kyle most of the time, she’s pretty routine for the area, and in many ways much nicer than most BH women. Lisa and Adrien are probably really the nicest, but they are truly wealthy women, the other women not so much. Camille married her money and is not nice at all. Brandi married her money and a lout cheater who traded up and now makes his current wife dress and have surgery in order to look like Brandi. Unless your money is your own, you pay one way or another, and even if it is your own like LeeAnn you will trade it away to feel loved even if you are only loved for your money.
I won’t be buying a book to tell me what pharmacy shampoo and makeup I need to buy to look fabulous, that’s never going to happen. Who is her target audience? That’s what I’m really interested to find out.
Actually, Eddie was not an actor or successful in any way when Brandi married him, but SHE was a successful model who travelled all over the world modelling and she gave that up to have his kids. And he traded DOWN with LeAnn, not ‘up’.
Kyle is so immature and I don’t think she has will ever grow up. She has little self worth as she does nothing-unlike the others who are business women, except Taylor who is also a wanna-be woman. There is so much sibling rivalry with Kim-the goody, goody who calls others potty mouth yet lets a woman feel her up at a party in front of her boy friend and others. OMG, I’d rather be potty mouth than that tacky, and Kim was so pleased to discuss her boobs and offered them up to be felt. Gross. I’d be smacking someone.
I don’t think there is anything to be learned from any of the Hilton clan.
Mauricio looks like an able SWAT and Kyle is the fly!
Looking at this thread, its easy to see why those who like kyle are in the minority and more people don’t approve of bullies than approve of them. This thread shows how deeply unpopular and hated Kyle is.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. No doubt she is related to Paris Hilton. Everyone in that family seems to be vile.
I don’t watch any of the RH shows because all I see are women tweaked enough to make it a plastic surgery show. It doesn’t matter how rich they claim to be, they do not enough money to buy class..
Anyway, this woman has a horrible neck, she looks like a linebacker
I can’t stand Kyle such a hypocrite..saying she has never had plasticesurgury she is full on it!! Seen old photos she got a nose job the same nose Paris Hilton and her mom have ontop of that Kyle lips are soo fake they are not natural!! Just admit u had work done what is the big f’ING deal..allot of ppl get plastic surgery
Kyle is evil, self centered and anyone really watching will see when she gets upset that others are liking each others like Tyler and Lisa, she says negative things about them. She wants to be the center of attention. How many splits can someone do on TV, please don’t do them any,more, I don’t want to see them again. Kyle go away, you are not a good person and no matter how many blogs you create afterwards to pretend to apologize or to make yourself look better, it is not working. Example when you called to Andys show when Brandi was there to apologize, that was pathetic. At least if someone is bad, they own it. Kyle you are bad.
New reality show- Survivor: Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.Done in the style of Survivor Man. Take them all to a remote location, drop them off and see who makes it back after a week. I would pay to see that film footage.You think there is drama now. WHOOWHEE, no limos,no credit cards,no personal chefs,and no parties. Welcome to the real world ladies.Maybe they would have better lives after they learned a LITTLE appreciation for having one
