One Day at a Time

Kyle thanks the fans for supporting her and her sister during this trying season.

February 16, 2012

The end has come. It has been such a difficult year. I can't say I'm sad that it's over. Having the husbands come in after hearing Taylor discuss her rocky marriage was a welcome break. I love all these guys -- especially Mauricio, of course -- but all of them are kind, fun, and just overall great guys. Adrienne, Lisa, and I are so fortunate.

I was absolutely shocked when they showed my husband's butt!!! We were having massages in Hawaii when we shot that part. I remember that I saw his towel slip down and said "Oops, oh well, they won't use that." HAHA! It was so funny to see his face too! Later he said to me, "I am never going to hear the end of this from the guys on the golf course." I have to say, it did look cute.

Like Andy said, my sister Kim had been in rehab during the shooting of the reunion. Although it was technically only a day before she completed her rehabilitation, she would not leave early. I was so proud of her, not only because she went to rehab, but she went during the holidays which I know was so difficult. We all knew it would be our first Christmas apart from her and it was sad for all of us.

Hi Kyle,
You are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE HOUSEWIFE OF ALL TIME! You are so pretty, and youre book was amazing! I love that you dont let people take advantage of you, and walk all over you! You call it like you see it, and that is AWESOME! I cant wait for season 3!

Love, Matt

PS: All the H8Rs are JEALOUS!!!

Hi Kyle. I think you are the prettiest and most fashionable house wife. Camille also dresses beautiful. I loved you glasses in Hiawaii with the figure eight shape they were gold frames. Who makes those? I want a pair. I bless you and your family. Love your style.

I still think that Brandy needs an attitude adjustment. She comes across very arrogant and condescending.
Kyle and Kim..by best wishes to both of you.

I've heard this theory more than once, several times in fact, and I just hope it is only a theory and not the truth. Here goes:
The reason you have your sister on the show is so that you can double your camera time. You appear, or are mentioned, in many of her segments. Being that she is in such a fragile emotional state, and has made a poor-to-disastrous televised showing of her life and self, I have to believe this is not the case. To believe otherwise would make you a self-absorbed attention monger without bounds or conscience. Does this sound like you, to you? We can be blind to our own short comings, so take another look before you answer. Take a good, long look.
And, what do you see?
Hopefully it's someone you can live with for the next 40 years. Fame is fleeting, but family is forever.
Your sister needs you "off" camera. Out of the lights and subtly scripted fireworks of what's made her a pathetic mess to viewers. She can't handle another season of RHOBH. You have to see this. PLEASE see this. You may find the validation and drama a fit for you at this point in your life, but dragging Kim along is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for Taylor, but she's not your responsibility and no one else seems to care enough to step up and put the breaks on that media train wreck. Not your problem.
Your sister, like it or not, is. Yours. In part, your responsibility. At least, where it counts. This reality show merry-go-round cannot end well for her. Get her help, lend her a shoulder to cry on and...encourage her to put her life's obstacles and improvements (fingers crossed) down on paper. She's an interesting woman with a story to tell. A book? Maybe. Or, essays in print or on a website citing her unique experiences with showbiz and all that life throws at you when you're up, down, and in-between. She communicates well verbally, which indicates that she may, if she put applies some elbow grease, actually be able to write. If that's the case, I'd buy in. Maybe a "behind the scenes" writin' gig is a middle ground she can softly land on between taking her life "TV" public, or disappearing completely.
You are her sister. Take care of Kim.

kyle,

I am very hopeful that Lisa Vanderpump will never trust you again. Knowing Lisa, she would be a kind person and will work with you in the show. Lisa is classy, educated and a very nice person. I just know that Lisa would never open her heart to you.

Good luck with Adrienne and Taylor.

Kyle,

You're clearly a budding leader with a lot of positive qualities, so let's see more of them, dear - use your powers for good, not evil :)

I have to be honest, I don't like Reality TV in general, because it glorifies backstabbing alliances and bullying, so I stopped watching the show last year because I thought you got away with the Mean Girl routine last year, to be honest, towards Camille. Worse, you tried to make people choose sides between you - sorry, but it's true.

I advise getting in touch with why you REALLY went after Brandi, without even knowing her yet, and stop justifying your treatment of her in reverse order.

I don't condone the threat she made, nor her handling of it, it WAS a little scary - but that's the can of worms you CHOOSE to open when you pick at someone until they blow, dear, that's the result of bullying - and you don't get to cry victim later, sorry.

Sure, Brandi has issues - but then Brandi's point was, not so nicely put, but true - so do you and your sister (and we all can see that).

I don't think you're a bad person, you have a lot of gifts - but let this be a learning experience for you - time to grow up, Mean Girls:)

Follow Camille's lead and try to give the benefit of the doubt to others that you clearly expect us to give yourself and your sister.

Wishing the best for you and your sister and lessons learned for everyone,

Don't let Hollywood steal your joy!

~ Peace

Please meet with your PR person and get that apology train going for the new season. You threw the wrong people under the bus. Watch ALL the episodes and you'll see who really had your back.

Its hard to watch you. You show more love and compassion for Taylor than your sister which is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. Taylor has done nothing but cause trouble on this show and treat your sister with disrespect.

Communication skills are needed by you!!!! Its not cute to attack others. Were you the mean girl in high school.

Kyle,
You're a mean-spirited MEAN GIRL
Your jealousy and attention seeking ego are out of control
People who feel good about themselves do not bully and put down others
Shame on you
Very sad

Taylor and Kim back? Many, many viewers won't be. Too disburbing and pathetic.

You are best. I want to buy your book.

Kyle, I agree with others that you were my favorite the first season, but you were really mean to Brandi, your sister had an excuse she was under the influence but you don't. Kim had said that she would never forgive Brandi it hurt her children and how wrong it was to call out her out while attacked. I hope she learned in rehab to take responsibility, she attacked Brandi and Brandi responded much like anyone being bullied by a gang would do.

I am shocked that Kim is back on the show after last year if she really is thinking of her kids, I can't help but think they were hurt by what they saw their mother doing on TV than Brandi stating the obvious. Denial is a sign Kim hasn't recovered, but I hope she gets the help she needs, not sure what will help your mean streak however.

Kyle and Kym really are the toxic sisters. Nothing good, decent, friendly or honest about this pair. Picking on Brandi because she didn't fit in and hiding her crutches. Come on girls, you prove that money doesn't buy manners, class or grace. I enjoy the show ecept when the two of you are on.

Its a pity Camille has decided to leave the show.... It should have been you and your sister...But I know thats not going to happen, as both of you are talentless fame seeking wannabies....You are so full of yourselves, you even think it is 'Your' show.....

hi Kyle im watching the show in Ireland so id say we're a few episodes behind, i think its the best thing on telly at the min i really love it, at the moment urself and kim are fighting with Brandi over her Meth comment but u guys were really mean to her I actually think she is a nice girl and maybe it wasnt meth but kim defo has some kind of problem, reading ur blog now i can see it was alcohol and id say prescribed meds also, ive really liked u since season one but i didnt like u the past few weeks but last night i seen u accept Brandis apology and that redeemed u in my book, i like all the girls but dana omg she has no style at all and the way she names the designer and the price its so tacky we call that new rich and she is such a stirrer not liking her at all also Lisa i fast forward her bits she is soooo boring, her poor husband, anyway just had to write to say ur so pretty and stylish and im really glad Kim is sorted now im dying to see what happens nxt, just read camelle is leaving well thats no big loss she guards her words so well there's no fun in watching her, u gotta love Kim for the way she says what she thinks anyway have a lovely day and ill keep watching xxxxxx

Kyle,

really wanted to like you this season. What is with the mean girl attitude? Can't handle your nasty side at all..... Love Lisa and her very clever wit. You need to understand clever humor

Kyle,
I liked you in the first season, however now we have got to see more of you and your behaviour, unfortunately, you are the Mean Girl. For some reason, you always have to be the centre of attention, and you are very comfortable being openly mean to people and bagging your so called friends. Ugghhh! You really need to reassess your values and ways Girlfriend.

From the Aussie Down Under

Kyle, you have a very handsome hubby, who wouldnt want to see his butt??? Very cute. You also have very beautiful and respectful kids. I can see that you are a wonderful mom!! As far as your sister goes, I think you should let her sink. As long as she knows that you are there to pick her up, she will conrinue with her alcohol and pills. My only sister was killed over drugs, and I ofter wonder if I hadn't been there to protect her, her whole life, maybe she would have straightened out and she would be alive today. Kim knows how much you care about her, and all she has is bad things to say about you and your husband, even after you helped her with her bills etc. She needs to leave the show, and leave your life alone. Concentrate on your hubby and your kids, and maybe she will get off the pills and alcohol. Please be careful what you do, whatever your decision is, you will have to live with it for the rest of your life. Stop paying her bills, don't give her money, don't let her guilt you into anything!!!!

Bravo, please do what you can to keep Kim Richards on the show. Regardless of how many people have called her "crazy" or put her down for her addiction, she is funny, entertaining, and because she is open about her problems,probably the most real of all the housewives.
Not all of us feel that Brandi was right talking about Kim's issues either. It was flat out none of her business. The comments on Brandi being refreshing because of her supposed "honesty" take a backseat to the fact that if she was so perceptive and educated on addictive personalities, as she claimed,why didnt she reach out and help them (the Richards) find a solution instead of adding fuel to what was an obviously burning fire?

Kyle,

I think you are a good influence on Kim, but is there any way you can be less emotional? I see you as a strong woman and when you cry, which you did quite a bit of the last season, it sorts of make people wonder if you are being rationale or just simply emotional.

You're such a beautiful woman. I think you have the perfect balance of beauty, intelligence, and common sense. Some of the other wives are just plain wacky. Won't name names but the one I see who lives a real life is you, with your beautiful childrem and gorgeous husband...ahem.

I would like to bravo some of your charitable work because I know that Beverly Hills wives is probably 90 about being rich, fortunate, but it would be nice to see you all blend with the rest of us, especially in this very tough economy when some of us don't even have jobs. I know we can't blame you for the blessings you have because it was a result of hard work, but some of us also work just as hard but just not fortunate enough to have the same opportunities as you all have.

I have two young adult daughters and sometimes I truly dream about living the life of one of the Beverly Hills wives even for a day.

More power to you and family!

AnnaBelle

So, you try and get your sister kicked off the show by telling Andy that Kim doesn't even care about the show, doesn't blog and doesn't want to be on the show. Do you really think that if you get your sister off the show people will start to like you? I don't think so. Kim has said that she DOES want to be on the show next year so mind your own business and quit trying to be a pupeteer. You are terrible at it.

Too be honest, i don't have any favorite housewife on this show. Adrienne use to be someone that I liked, except for when she was being unnecessarily mean to Paul. But i think she could've been more sympathetic/ less judgemental to Taylor during that time in Colorado and several instances with other members.

Paul is by far my favorite husband, when he isn't pointing out what people need to do in terms of surgery on their face and when he isn't name dropping. He handled Russell perfectly at Kyle's white party.

Although, Brandi annoys me, I have long noticed that Kyle and Kim have avoided responsibility and therefore agree with Brandi on this. Even Camille pointed out in an earlier season, about Kyle's comment about "how their are woman who would die to be pregnant (on the airplance), and yet when Camille brought it up at the next reunion, Kyle lied or denied by saying , "I didn't say that" (maybe out of guilt after finding out that Camile tried to get pregnant) that she said anything like that, despite it being in the show. Camille excepted and maybe possible believed Kyle's lie. Nobody other then Camile, bothered to acknowlege the truth that Camile was saying.

Kim is wrong to be blaming Kyle for her comments about going in the bathroom and maybe someday (but probably not) possible admit that Brandi helped her get Kim help. Brandi could've had a better delivery and seems a bit immature in other ways, but to fault her on this, is not right. And I know that Kyle already tried to help her sister, but I think having Brandi agree public. helped even more.

You are not as special as your mother lead you to believe you are. Be a little humble. This season you really showed a very unflattering side of you and that is loyalty to those who are wrong. I'm not saying you shouldn't be a friend. I'm just saying that when you stand up for people who do such foolish things as they do on this show, you should confront them rather than enable them to continue. Actually, that is more loyal to a friend than just agreeing with them all the time. It doesn't seem you exercise very good judgment. Do you have any education above highschool?

Kyle, you're beautiful and you have a lovely family don't let arguements wear you away x

I have an older sister called Rebecca and she always tries to control me (not saying thats what you do to Kim) And I always complain give me some freedom you're not my mother but honestly what would I do without her, I have a brilliant mother and I thought I didn't need help but I do. My sister always stands by me and maybe I don't need it always but when I do I know she'll be there and one time Kim will relise that.

You are such a role model to me because you are so honest and sometimes it can hurt the girls feeling, obviously from their reaction but would they rather you were not being yourself? You are a brilliant person and people pleasing is nice but I prefer your honest-opinion side xxxxxxxxxxxx

Kyle, I absolutely love your jaw line. Is there anything you do, like laser treatments or anything? I've noticed most of the housewives have a very defined jaw line. I'm 34 and no way that it's time for a neck surgery. I'm a petite person, but could stand to lose 10 lbs to get that "Brandi body"..lol thanks

kyle
I was just trying to see if I could like you again.. I can't....
Shannon

Sorry but I just re-watched this season and NONE of your excuses at the reunion make any sense! Your splits were a cry for attention, game night and your participation in seeking the location of the crutches a secret was pathetic, every encounter with Brandi was mean spirited, constantly bringing negative attention to Kim's behavior was cruel, the comment to Taylor about Lisa preying on the weak was incredibly two-faced. Other than being cute with Portia there was nothing nice about you at all and I am amazed that after watching these episodes you didn't see that for yourself as well. Instead all we got was yet more mean girl attitude a pathetic excuses! Please... We all watched the same episodes!

Kyle:
I think you are a very beautiful person. I have admired some of the clothing you have worn throught out your this season but in particular I would like to know where you bought the summer dress outfit you were in Hawaii on the first social night event with the group it was brown & white.

Sincerely,
Reina G.

Not that this will be printed or that you will read it, but how dare you treat Lisa like that! With friends like you who needs enemies? That literally disgusted me. Your relationship with your sister will never be healed unless you resolve the house situation. You stole the house from beneath Kim. You have become a bitch and a condescending bully.

"Submitted by IndyJan on March 3, 2012..I have another comment for you. Until you give Kim back her house, things
between you, Mauricio and Kim will never be the same. She is holding a
grudge against him for stealing her house. Get it."

DITTO DITTO DITTO up there by "IndyJan" Clappin' clappin'. I could not have said it better!! coughcoughIhopeshereadsitcough lol

You outed your sister earlier, and it was one of the few good things you have done. Now both of you need to admit it is more than alcohol. Weight loss, going into the bath room repeatedly, pulling little baggies out of thin air, (it looked similar to episodes of "Cops") crazy behavior, nervous twitching all the time (still to this day) she looks like she is still on something. She will never quit if people enable her, just so they can look good!

I have another comment for you. Until you give Kim back her house, things
between you, Mauricio and Kim will never be the same. She is holding a
grudge against him for stealing her house. Get it.

Each time you kept pointing your finger and going for Brandi, you really believed she was starting with you. Go back and watch... During the Reunion, Brandi was answering Andy's question and somehow Taylor believed Brandi was attacking her. And you joined forces with Taylor against Brandi. Go back and watch. How dare Brandi share her Russell Armstrong story because Andy wanted to know what she and Lisa were discussing where Lisa defends Taylor. The way Taylor reacted - like no one but her could share a Russell story. The both of you wanting to silence Brandi. So wrong...

Kyle
You are a tribute to all working mothers and wives. It is so lovely to see a couple who are in love and perfect together (much like myself and my husband) and such a dedicated mother to your lovely children. Keep up the good work.
Best wishes
Corrina

Kyle,

Kim was very much on something in her last interview. It is very difficult to llisten to her because she is still obviously on something. FYI, unless she finds another way for releasing her anxiety, eg. the gym for hours if it takes that, she will continue to be addicted.

I don't think this is news to you though.

Just saw that Kim was in rehab and she has given me the strength to try for myself.
Thank you both and God Bless you both :).

Kyle, last night we watched "Lost Footage" and I remembered that i wanted to write to you. I think it's great that Brandi brought Kim's addiction out in the open. All of you were not willing to do that so that "intervention" at the horrible party couldn't have come at a better time for Kim and your family and "The Girls." It's obvious that Brandi has experience in addiction and her making it surface probably saved your sister's life. I've been in recovery for years and am very familiar with all of it. The next step is to get you and your family into Alanon. It really completes the circle and you'll all grow from it. Right now you're in a circular "cluster.....". I watched Kim with Andy and I don't think she's really taking responsibility for herself and she seemed groggy. Rather than wake up one day and find her dead please take appropriate action and get into Alanon. That will help save her life too. Enabling is as addictive as the alcoholism/prescription drug addiction. Good luck!

i love the way you dress!

I don't understand how you and your sister continue to blame everyone else for everything you do and say.
You should learn to take responsibility for your own actions and words and try to find some self awareness.
When you're mean and demeaning, it's not being real - it's just mean.

Kyle,
I am so happy your sister had the courage to go to rehab! I haven't spoken to my little sister in a few years, she has an alcohol and prescription drug addiction. It has torn my family apart, very sad! I finally had to walk away and not be a part of the drama. I am looking forward to seeing more of you next season and reading your book! I enjoyed Taylor's book, as a survivor of teen relationship abuse, I could really relate to what she went through. Take care!

You and your husband has shown yourselves to be ungrateful and unworthy of the benefits that come with friendship. I've read allot of posts about what a wonderful husband you have; but I've always questioned that considering he is married to someone like you. No matter how wealthy you are, you will never be happy. I can only imagine what type of mother and wife you really are behind the scenes. I pity you and your family. However on second thought you deserve everything you get. What a great example you are to your daughters. Thank God you don't have sons.

I think you kind of showed your own proverbial butt this season I was suprised.
Your attack on Lisa at the reunion was so self centered and uncalled for .

Kyle,

Last season you were extremely popular and easy to relate to, even if you did live in a zipcode most of the country can't afford to live in. But on the second season, you came off a little too judgemental, and dare I say a bit snooty at times.

Just yesterday, I attended a neighbors backyard barbecue, and literally watched the same thing happen in my neighbors yard, that we saw happen at Adrienne's, when Brandi's son relieved himself.

The only difference is, while we also live in California, our neighborhood is middle class, and it was my neighbor's son, that relieved himself on her lawn...(the one who hosted the party)

She was carrying a tray of food, when the incident took place. And while she looked a little flustered, all of us laughed it off. We didn't expect her to drop everything, and go ball him out. Just as I would not have expected Brandi, to grab her crutches, and hobble over there, in an attempt to get at her son in time.

When it comes to little boys, especially toddlers, this is not the sort of thing to get all worked up over, and it's definitely not right to accuse another woman of bad parenting skills over. I don't think that this has a thing to do with income or class, because in cases like this, it's better manners, to not take another Mother to task over, and I would have felt the same way were it in my own backyard.

Brandi is not a bad person, just a little more earthy. She is also fun loving, and honest. I feel the same way about Lisa, and still can't understand why you seemed to have so many issues with her lately. Try and ease up, and not be so quick to judge or condemn others.

Wow, just read a couple of the comments people left you this season. I finally caught up and just watched the last reunion. Kyle, I don't know if you read these or care. I know it must be hard to put your life out there in front of a camera for all to see and judge. I couldn't do it myself. I'm just going to leave you with a pice of advice...no one is perfect we all make mistakes however all of your messages have a commond theme so take responsibility for your actions, change and learn from it. You'll be a better person for it.
As for everyone's comments, duh people can't act like a caddy girl and bully and expect someone to change the very actions you are portraying yourself. Let's see some of you put your life in front of a camera for us to judge. Get a clue idiots!!!!

You say all the ladies were kind to your sister and her problems? Not true. Taylor was mean to her. She belittled her. She physically threatened her first season. She threatened to expose her during the first Reunion show. You have a very short memory when you choose. Or is it a selective memory? It's funny that you thank the public for supporting you and your sister. SOMEONE has to support her, because you surely do not. All of those accusations you hurled at her in Hawaii? Is that you being supportive? You saw that she was struggling and you kept coming after her in front of everyone.

To tell the truth, I wasn´t sure of what to think about you at first...I thought you were overreacting in many ways (but then, who wasn´t at times in this show?) But after the last episodes, I think I see that you do have a good heart, especially towards your sister... Anyway, thank you for letting us share a bit of your life, it has been so great watching the show!!! All the best!

i just watched season 1's reunion. After this season, I had a whole new perspective while viewing. Camille called you out first--you are a bully...Kim even admitted you are. I feel so bad that the viewers (including myself) attacked Camille last season. You were acting caddy towards Camille from the beginning and this season was Brandi's turn.

Kyle, I would just like to say that I took your side on the first season of HOBH when you had all the fights with Camille. I felt sorry for you and you didn't deserve how you were being treated. However, after seeing you on the second season I feel almost embarrassed about how you acted in many of the episodes.

You obviously care a lot for your sister (who definitely has drug problems by the way, that much is obvious to any normal human being and denying it isn't going to make the problem go away) But the way you treated Brandi was absolutely horrible. You, Kyle are a horrible stuck up person who will do anything to be the centre of attention, even if it means putting other people down (even your own sister in some cases).

I understand some of the stuff you say is only joking around. But you are so bitchy to other women that you don't know who are only trying to be nice to you i.e Brandi. That game night you and Kim both attacked her and it was completely unprovoked. You both, in my opinion, that night showed your true colours and I'm sure I won't be the only one that says this, but you also lost a fan (Not like you care anyway)

I think you need to take a step back and give people a chance and stop being so uptight and defensive all the time. Also, Lisa has been your friend for years and years and I think she's wonderful. Don't talk behind her back. I believe that's one friend you don't want to end up losing.

Kyle,

I wish the best for your sister as she battles her addiction and works on recovery.

I must say, however, that her attitude towards Brandi shows how much of an addict she is and what a long way she has to go.

She says that Brandi made it hard for her kids and family.

What about her own behavior? As a viewer, Kim's behavior was FAR MORE detrimental to her image than anything Brandi ever said. Kim needs to own up to what she's done and not try to blame Brandi. Kim's own bad behavior caused her problems (and the problems/embarrassment for her kids) and not Brandi.

You two need to stop using Brandi as your scapegoat and stop being so mean to her. It is trashy and unbecoming.
