Kathy Hilton Blasts Kyle Richards for ‘Crying’ at the Reunion!

The war between sisters and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars, Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton, spilled over on Instagram Friday as fans reacted to Bravo’s dropped Season 12 reunion trailer.  

Bravo producer, Alex Baskin, shared the reunion preview on his Instagram account, and Kathy responded to a comment expressing concern for her sister’s emotional state, revealed in the clip. 

“Why is she upset and crying? I’m the one who [was] bullied and percacuted [sic] for 10 months,” Kathy asked. 

The reunion teaser highlights Kyle weeping and trying to dodge the traditional closing cast toast. 

“I’m really not OK right now. I don’t want to sit here for a toast. Can I leave?” the Bravo veteran tearfully asks host, Andy Cohen, in the footage. 

Kyle was quick to respond to Kathy’s social media shade—writing in the same comment section—“Why? You know exactly why.”  

She added—“I don’t think you want me to explain why.” 

Fans know that the cast trip to Aspen exploded in controversy after Lisa Rinna accused Kathy of having an “absolute meltdown” after leaving a private club. Rinna alleged that the popular cast “friend” went off during their shared drive home and continued inside Kyle’s house. Strangely, production did not capture any of Kathy’s alleged tirades. 

Leaked rumors swirled about the drama during filming season, accusing  Kathy of spewing homophobic and racial slurs during the trip. Kyle debunked one such rumor during a recent appearance on the RHOBH: After Show.

“I started reading lies in the tabloids,” she said, on the September 28 episode. “The things online that said what my sister said were not said. It was directed towards me. Some people were saying she said something about Sutton’s assistant. It said something about when he was moving Sutton’s luggage… he wasn’t even in Aspen.” 

She added—“It’s one thing to say what really happened, and another thing for people to be creating and inventing things that my sister said that could be very damaging that actually weren’t true.”

Rinna’s story has been a hard sell for most fans. Many have dissed the former soap opera actress as a less-than-credible source and others have pointed to Rinna’s past pattern of spreading gossip about her co-stars. Viewers also noted Rinna’s tendency toward exaggeration and raised eyebrows at Bravo producers for not filming the supposedly explosive incident.  

Kathy spoke out about the incident in an interview with Us Weekly, in July.

“I can’t go through exactly what happened. … I said some things because I was just venting in a personal conversation with someone and it was not filmed,” she explained at the time. “I was frustrated. There’s not an excuse for it. I was doing all the press for Paris in Love. … Then I had to get up at 4 a.m. and get to the airport [for] a flight to L.A., then wait around for three hours to get a flight to Aspen. I felt like I was overtired, high altitude, and a little sensitive.”

“I thought it was a private conversation and I just wanted somebody to say to me, ‘Look, you two love each other. Everything will be fine. You’re just overtired,’” she added. “I just wanted someone to vent to. And I guess that what I’ve learned is — I love both my sisters [Kyle and Kim Richards]. I love them. They’re my blood, and I never should have said anything to anybody.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion series kicks off Wednesday, at 8 pm, ET, on Bravo.
