Here's What Kyle Richards Was Really Trying to Get out of Erika Girardi in Provence, According to Lisa Rinna
Kyle Richards sees The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills moment differently.
If you thought the drama over Lisa Rinna's Erika Jayne costume was confusing in last week's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, well, it didn't seem to get much clearer for anyone when the subject came up again at dinner during the girls' trip to Provence in Tuesday night's episode.
Luckily, Lisa was on hand as the guest on Tuesday night's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to try to provide some clarity on the situation (clip above). When one caller asked if she thought Kyle Richards was "trying so hard to get Erika riled up" because she didn't like how she called out her sister Kim Richards at the Farrahween party earlier this season, Lisa replied, "No, she wanted Erika to be mad at me for being Erika."
But Kyle confirmed that her conversations with Erika were always about Kim. "Nooo, it wasn’t that," Kyle responded to Lisa's WWHL comments on Twitter Tuesday night. "It was being dressed as @erikajayne and using the C word re Kim and the bunny. Just the costume was cool. But I hadn’t seen the make up convo with Kim. That would have changed things."
Kyle also admitted that she was wrong for being relentless with her questioning of Erika. "But I beat that to death and and [sic] apologize to both @lisarinna @erikajayne," she tweeted.
When Kyle appeared on WWHL on June 11, she agreed that she and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave went too far with Erika during those moments in Provence. "No, we were really annoying. Like I said, I think I was still thinking about the whole Rinna and my sister Kim thing. And I did think it was a little weird that she was being a little aggressive and Erika's not like that," she explained. "But I get that didn't offend Erika, and watching that, I see what they mean 100 percent. I'm like, 'Shut up, Kyle and Teddi.'"
As for Erika, she said she still doesn't really understand what the whole thing was about while reflecting on the moment during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 After Show. "I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now," she said. "I thought it was great Lisa dressed up as Erika Jayne for Halloween. It was hilarious. We laughed our asses off. I'm not responsible for anyone's costume or how they act. So it was a little silly."
