I Am Happy This Season Is Over
Kyle defends Mauricio and her relationship with her sister and reflects on this difficult season.
Apr 3Just in case one Reunion wasn't enough torture, here we go again. . .
I was still in absolute shock that Yolanda went out of her way to be so mean to me. We had never had ANY issues. It felt to me that there was a planned "attack" on me and she was sticking to the plan.
The thing that bothers me the most in life is a lie. I am not perfect and do make mistakes. But lying is something you will never see me do. I lost any respect I had for Yolanda when she wasn't able to tell truth.
Talking about Adrienne and Paul is complicated. Like I said at the Reunion, Adrienne and I were never "best friends," but we had gotten to know each other over these past few years. Adrienne was always nice to me. However, we had actually become closer to Paul. Mainly because Paul reached out to us more than Adrienne and Paul is my mother-in-law's doctor.
There have been a lot of accusations against Paul by Adrienne and stories "leaked" by Adrienne's chef Bernie. Andy asked about Bernie posting pictures of Paul's alleged "abuse" and asked if I believed it was true or not and I answered honestly. No, I don't. That is my opinion. I knew the moment I said that that I would be the next victim of Bernie.
Sure enough, the moment it was known that I had said that, false stories started popping up about me on the Internet. Although predictable, it was disappointing and hurtful, considering I had tried to support Adrienne. I had to be honest about how I felt regarding those accusations. It should also be noted that when Andy asked me that question, Mauricio was working with Adrienne. So much for Lisa's theory that I nurture my friendship's for business.
Kyle,
You may want to consider attending AL-ANON if you aren't already doing so. It would help you make some sense of your sister's alcohol problems and help you find healthier boundarie with her and others. You are a great caretaker but that overresponsibility is a burnout proposition for you and this type of codependence may hurt you and Kim. Second, alchoholism doesn't occur in a vacuum and everyone in the family is impacted: the family's adaptation to the family member's recovery is going to be difficult. Also, you may want to join Kim for some family sessions.
i agree get off Mauricio he is entitled to voice his opinion this is America.
@wonetah.einfeldt I always welcome some additional sanity on this board. Well said.
wonetah.einfeldt Being that is is America, people have right to voice their opinion on Mauricio's behavior. Why would you want to censor someone's voice, just because you disagree?
could someone please explain y Kyle gets ripped apart for saying whats on her mind. But alot of people look the other way when brandi talks Sh88? DOES ANYONE WATCH THE LOOKS ON BRANDI'S face with that shiT** smirk on her face when she drops a bomb like at the reniun. she'd sit there and let everyone come to defend her!!!PLEASE tired of Brandi
carriet
I'd be happy to explain it. Kyle DOESN'T say what's on her mind. She trash talks people (Brandi) to lizard face Faye, and Faye parrots back Kyle's sentiments. Brandi may speak her mind, but rather have a friend/aquantiance like her, any day. She even trash talks about her sister!!! Please!
carriet
I'm tired of Brandi too. Love Kyle (though she is not blameless) but she loves her family and likes to have fun and is a good friend (except when you're being a 5th grader, like Lisa is)...
Kyle I also lost both parents and know how hard it can be. Parents keep family together without them you feel lost. Me and my sister have the same relationship as you and Kim we love each other so much but it can be hard sometimes. Your a great person and have a great family see you next season :)
Kyle I love u :)
kyle,
I always thought your family was the most sincere. Isn't it amazing what a few seasons have revealed?? I've noticed that your husband Mauricio has been turning into a real housewife, hanging around the women, gossiping. And now he's getting into cat fights with other cast members?! That was such a huge turnoff, and forever changed my view of Mauricio. Small wonder that Ken, who is a gentleman, feels like he must defend Brandi.
Does your husband normally pick on vulnerable single mothers, or does he only do this when he stands to make a few cool millions? Either way, it was truly sad indeed.
I wish you and your family would leave the show. I think things could only look up if you bowed out gracefully.
winterbluebella With all due respect, I haven't seen Mauricio around the HW's any more than we see Ken or we saw Paul with the HW's. I also haven't seen him "gossip" any more about them then the other men. Ken has certainly given his 2 cents about Kyle, Taylor, Kim and Adrienne in various scenes when talking with Lisa. If this is something that troubles you, I believe you would want to take it up with Bravo, since they are the ones who decide which edited scenes to show to us.
Motorcitywife winterbluebella
Motor, apparently this is something that bothers you, to allow a different opinion. Maybe you should talk to Bravo. I mean didn't you just praise somebody for thinking Mauricio has a right to an opinion? You just seem to blow with the wind. Winter also has a right to an opinion and frankly it is nice to have some sanity on this board because I wholeheartedly agree with Bella.
From what I have seen, reality shows such as this one can be very hard on a marriage...on a family! Out of everybody on this show I feel as though you have the most to lose! If I were you I would cut these ruthless bitches loose and enjoy my life with my children and husband! Life is too precioues and too short to waste anymore time on these people!
it is interesting that Mauricio was so abusive and offensive to skanky brandi that cusses everyone but when adriennes husband doctor paul called her a bitch noone was horrified. get over it he just checked her and it wasn't all that uncommon, what is uncommon is watching men Mauricio and Ken constantly hanging out with a bunch of catty bitchy old rich women GO TO A GAME GUYS!
wonetah.einfeldt You call Brandi a name for using cuss words, yet you justify what Adrienne, Paul or Mauricio's actions were towards Brandi?! WOW, I think you fit in with them very well.
After all, Adrienne and Paul's demise speaks for itself! Mauricio has still more clients to slithers upon.
Upfront wonetah.einfeldt
Mauricio didn't do a DARNED thing to Brandi.. He didn't "YELL" at her he expressed his opinion as to how Brandi can fix it and I think have gave some darned good advice. Brandi is the one that wigged out.
Caligirl77 Upfront wonetah.einfeldt
What show did you watch? Mauricio WAS yelling at everyone. He was so loud people were looking at him and his Advice sucked. He never asked her if she had called and no one asked for his advice. No one asked for his advice. Then he says "you did it too be mean", is that damned good advice? Then he turned on Ken and ran him under by not letting Ken say anything. The he yells at Lisa "who cares? Nobody cares about selling stories to a magazine" This man who was probably drinking had no business giving unwanted advice and taking over the whole dinner. He needs to wash his face. It always looks dirty. And Brandi had already hired a lawyer to respond to Adrienne so his unwanted advice was pointless. Big man on campus syndrome
wonetah.einfeldt It was fun during the lost footage episode to see Mauricio and Ken playing tennis. I would also like to see them doing more "guy" stuff (whatever that means in this day and age). The reality is, typically when we seem them with the woman they are at events that couples typically attend together, so I don't really think it is that strange that they are interacting with the HW's. I certainly always have my hubby with me at most couple type events.
I have a mentally ill brother. I identified with you so much. It is not easy! I am glad your sweet sis is doing well. I must say I loved her as a child actress and her disney movies.
@diane.down Blessing and wellness to you and yours. Double blessings to your brother.
I think my biggest problem with Kyle (who, remember, puts herself out there TO been seen and therefore, judged) is she never quite got what Lisa had been saying about her not having Lisa's back.
She got it when she felt like Kim didn't have her back in the first season with Camille.
In other words, Kyle: OPEN YOUR MOUTH to defend your friend. You had NO problem defending the likes of Faye. Every. Single. Time. without exception, you had an excuse for Faye being the vicious viper that she is.
Yeah, Lisa is very capable of defending herself (just like Faye) but it's always a great feeling to hear your friends open their mouth and say something to support you.
Just sayin'...
RealiTeaBytes Not to mention Kyle calling Lisa calculating and manipulative.... Lisa doesn't need or deserve Vile Kyle's friendship!
@RealiTeaBytes totally agree with you! At this point, Kyle is too caught up with Adrienne's drama that she see how she has hurt Lisa. And in her last blog, she touched very briefly about an argument that she and Lisa had in between seasons one and two. I think she knew Adrienne was going after Lisa in the reunion and she did nothing to defend her. That was sad to see how hurt Lisa was when those girls went after her. Kyle did serious damage to their friendship. It will never be the same. The trust is gone for Lisa of Kyle.
Kyle, you are probably my favorite character on this show but I really wish you hadn't pushed to bring Taylor back... I know she is your friend but nobody can stand watching her!
@AnnTurta I CAN stand watching Taylor. I like her and always have. May not have liked the way she reacted at times, but there is more to her than we have seen. She's coming out of 'hiding' and I am glad to watch her do it. Peace Taylor.
ccwriter AnnTurta
ccwriter, I too, like Taylor. Still grasping all what she has gone through and it's only been 2 yrs. now? I've noticed her also coming out and blossoming, instead of her abused reactions. Seems like a good sign!
Oh please! The couple people below bashing Yolanda for "lying". Yolanda said that they misconstrued her words and intent--Hmm,Kyle and Kim exaggerating and lying about intent to have the viewers follow THEIR storyline..seems we've seen that before. Are you kidding me/? We already saw Yolanda ON CAMERA defend Kim and criticize Lisa during the trip, she owned up..Of course Kyle and Kim teamed up to give us Yolanda's SECOND version and scene that happened behind closed doors...shocking that this story put Yolanda in a bad light. Yolanda was trying to help Kim before she realized what Kim's made of--she sure learned fast. Yolanda has more class and integrity in her little finger than the Richards sisters combined...uhg.
MomLeader
Double uhg.
I think you are a wonderful mother and wife, but as a friend, I think I would shy away. During the first season, I really enjoyed you. This season was a tad different for me. Please don't think you fooled anyone by having Faye speak for you, frankly it was a little insulting to the general public's intelligence for you to so vehemently deny this. When your caught, your caught, people would have respected you more if you would have just admitted it. Faye did not have an iron in that Brandi/Adrienne fire so for her to have such an opinion on it, she was clearly getting information from someone.
You also seemed to stir the pot this season. Instead of just enjoying the company of those who were there, you seemed to poke the bear by asking Brandi of the status of her and Adrienne's relationship. Then when the fighting started you stood back and watched the firework show you created. If you are glad the drama of this season is over, please remember that there is karmic debt that we all pay for our actions, you seemed to have had to pay yours on the reunion show. I hope for you it is over and you have learned your lesson.
You and your sister are great but I know you have it in you to throw down if need b. Do not let LISA and her skin tag B talk to you disrespectful or accusingly again. As for YOLANDA she appears to b doing whatever it takes to stay on the show which of course means becoming a monster . That works for awhile but in the end she will doom herself .
I cannot stand Yolanda from the begging she had this I'm better than everyone attitude. One episode she says to Brandy who is Adrienne Maloof in this world when really she should be asking herself who she is without her ex and current husbands money a has been model. I am sick of Brandy trying to get a team of mean girls together. I think your the realest person on the show and have an amazing family. Don't take crap from those women.
Tash628
I agreeeeeee!
Tash628
I totally get why Yolanda said that. Sometimes our perception of things gets skewed and our mind over exaggerates things. Kind of like a feeling of Panic. When I used to feel that way I'd tell myself 'you have all your fingers all your toes and you can walk, so get over it. Sometimes I'd tell myself 'remember what was driving you crazy last year'?(nothing that mattered) and I'd think 'don't even bother worrying over something that, in the long run, is pointless. In that context who is Adrianne Maloof, nobody, puts it back into the correct frame of mind. Yolanda did not try to pump her self up but trying to get Brandi on a level playing field as Adrienne. I thought it was brilliant strategy. Adrienne cannot take her kids away or cut her legs off or take her car away. Adrienne has power, but it is limited.
Nightengale Tash628
Nightengale, You're like Florence! You say all the right things! BRAVO to you!! Keep stating your comments, I think we are all getting wiser!!
@Tash628 ....what are you talking about? Yolanda was just telling Brandi ....in the big picture, who is Adrienne Maloof in Brandi's life.....she's nobody and Yolanda was right! You missed the point, but it looks like you've missed a lot of things this season! The team of mean girls are Kyle and Faye!
I totally agree with you on Yolanda. I think she got caught lying and had no defense so decided to lie so that Lisa would not be mad at her. I totally get that ...but a lie is a lie and she should have come clean.
Yolanda just seemed so "above" everyone at the reunion. She totally rubbed me the wrong way. Brandi appears to be riding Lisa's shirttails....very tasteless. Stay true to yourself Kyle. Would love to see you and Lisa find your real friendship again. Rooting for Kim.
I think there was a planned attack on Kyle but it came from Bernie the chef and not the other women - unless you count Adrienne in on the attack. She must have been so steamed when Kyle took Paul's side in the photo gate saga.
Sillymilly I think that Kyle was tag teamed by two warring factions. First, Bernie for Kyle not supporting Adrienne's assertions of violence by Paul and then by Lisa, Yolanda and Brandi because they are classless beasts.
I was quite shocked myselfj that Yolanda did not admit what she clearly said about Lisa . You could totally tell she was lying,I can't believe lisa actually believed her. I am a Lisa fan but totally disappointed in her actions recently . I like you and Lisa's friendship it makes more sense.
Kyle, I love you! I think you are real and honest but also try to keep the peace. I think Lisa is crazy(and I used to love her) for thinking Brandi is a good friend WTF! You and you husband are fantastic. I know things with your sister aren't easy but don't give up on her. She loves you. I want to come shop in your new store, so excited for you! Xo
i totally agree mauricio did not intimidate brandi the only thing a guy can do to intimidate that is to say"no i am not interested"!
wonetah.einfeldt Huh?
thelmadickinson wonetah.einfeldt double "huh"??
wonetah.einfeldt
So totally out of context.
wonetah.einfeldt
He shouted over a table full of people, he questioned Brandi in very abusive way! he has no manners or educations also, a gentlemen would never ever talk to a woman like that....no matter who that woman is......particularly that Brandi has not done or say anything anything to him it was very evident to all of us he is just money hungry
Artemisa Where it is written that a man cannot get into a debate with a woman? That was pretty much what this was. They were both debating the issues with regard to Brandi, what she said, and A&P's reaction to it. What year are we living in that a man cannot be a gentleman if he and a woman get into a disagreement?
Motorcitywife Artemisa
Motorcitywife, Really? Do you always stick your half wit into every statement you find wrong?
Can you comprehend where this You-called "debate" happened? It has NOTHING to do with what "year" we are in. It's about how, why, where and what Mauricio's slimy, slithering berating comment to Brandi was!
Mauricio wasn't a "gentleman," of course if he is like your husband.... maybe it's how you like to be treated! Otherwise STFU!!
@Upfront @Motorcitywife @Artemisa Good Lord, what kind of a grown-up calls another grown-up a half wit? You are simply overwhelming me with your intellect. Your complete and total inability to ever actually articulate your point continues to amaze me. As is typically the case with folks who cannot articulate an adult argument you result to tactics such as poking fun at a marriage and a husband you know nothing about or calling people names like half wit. What kind of a person would insult the marriage of someone that they do not know? See, that is the difference between you and I: regardless of how many hurtful things you say, I would never want, hope, or assume anything less than the best for a fellow HW fan, with their marriage or otherwise.
I adore you! I think you make the most sense of all the housewives. Not only that your husband is FINE!
I'm either marrying Ryan Gosling or Mauricio, and Mauricio is already married so I guess I'll have to take the Gosel-hawk.
