Philip Faraone/Getty Images; FilmMagicKyle Richards” text messages with P. K. Kemsley did not start her feud with Dorit Kemsleybut it doesn’t help women mend fences.
January 7 episode RHOBA ended with both women yelling after it was revealed that Kyle had texted with PK after his breakup with Dorit. The battle bleeds into the beginning of Tuesday, Jan. 14’s episode, with Kyle repeatedly addressing her PK text messages — but never directly to Dorit.
At one point in Tuesday’s episode, Kyle read Erica Jane, Sutton Strake and Garcelle Beauvais the exact text she sent PK after his breakup statement went public.
“I know you have a lot of friends, but I’m one too and I’m here if you need me. I have never repeated anything you have shared with me and I never would. (Which means you can always trust me),” the text read. “Will keep sending memes and won’t forget the laughing emoticons.”
The other woman draws during their respective confessions.
“Wait a minute, this isn’t just about memes and jokes. These are serious conversations,” Sutton said.

“So they’ve shared things about Dorit or relationship(s) or whatever that no one else knows about,” Garcell added. “All this time, Kyle really defends that these are just memes. Not everything is true.”
Garcelle eventually paraphrased Kyle’s text to the newcomer Bozeman St. John and the preview for next week’s episode showed Boseman asking Kyle to “please” read the text she sent PK.
“And that’s all I said. I’m ready now. They’re not going to make me feel like I’ve done something wrong,” a tearful Kyle said in the clip before speaking directly to Dorit. “I loved you and your family. F— everyone, I’m done with this s—. I won’t do that anymore.”
Kyle said before Us Weekly exclusively in November 2024 about departure on RHOBA set – which was teased in the season 14 trailer.
“Especially that scene, the departure. I just don’t feel like myself and I don’t feel strong enough,” she says. “Honestly, to shoot the show at the time, I just really needed the woman to be there for me and support me. And obviously I didn’t feel that at all, so that just added to my situation.

“I regretted how I did it, but I didn’t leave. I just didn’t have it in me anymore. I was at a point where I was so depressed, to be honest. I’m not one to get depressed,” explained Kyle. “I’ve had anxiety all my life, but never depression, and I really felt like I was struggling with depression and expressed that. And I just felt like I couldn’t go into scenarios all the time and just have everyone jump on me.
