Kyle Richards Explains Why the RHOBH Season 15 Reunion Was “Rough”

Kyle Richards has some thoughts about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 reunion, after it was filmed on March 13. The RHOBH cast member has sat through so many reunions over the years, and is now sharing how she felt after attending her 15th reunion.

Kyle appeared on an Amazon Live stream on Tuesday, March 17, where she admitted that she couldn’t rate how “bananas” the RHOBH Season 15 reunion was for her. “I think it would depend on the person you would ask,” she explained. “Some people it may have been a seven, some people it was probably a 10.”

“It was rough,” she added, noting that her and Erika Jayne‘s friendship struggles with Dorit Kemsley will be addressed.

“Because, you know, the situation with Dorit, Erika, and myself is hard because we care about each other, and it’s gotten so bad. It’s just very difficult,” she said. “So that part was for me, the most difficult part.”

Kyle was then asked by live stream viewers to describe the RHOBH Season 15 reunion in “three words.” And she did not hold back with her answer.

“Torture, infuriating, and sad,” she explained. “Traumatic, long, I’m adding some words.”
