With tonight's big premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, there's a lot of topics that will soon unfold during the show's third season. Kyle Richards finds herself involved in many of them, including both the ongoing recovery of her sister Kim Richards, as well as all the 'Wives dealing with the divorce between Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif.

"It's been very sad to see stuff like this," Kyle said of her pal's divorce while promoting the premiere on Anderson Cooper. "Clearly there's obviously more going on than we realized. We thought their bickering was part of their little banter and kind of funny, ubt obviously they had bigger problems than that."

She went on to say that it all came as a big surprise when the duo announced their split, and that "you'll see that kind of play out this season."

Kyle also said that she and Kim are in a good place -- and that the show has actually helped them confront their issues, whereas in the past things often got stuck in passive-aggressive arguments.

Tune in tonight to watch the big RHOBH premiere at 9/8c!
