Lisa Vanderpump Supports Friend Kathy Hilton Amid Kyle Richards’ Betrayal

Lisa Vanderpump is supporting her friend, Kathy Hilton, amid her battle with sister Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna.

Lisa Vanderpump Speaks

The heated Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 reunion may be over but the discussion is still going on social media, and when a fan inquired about Lisa Vanderpump and Kathy Hilton’s friendship, the RHOBH alum responded.

“Hey @LisaVanderpump did you let @KathyHilton know that you absolutely understand what she feels since you have experienced the same thing as she did?” A fan tweeted.

“Yes we are friends,” Lisa Vanderpump replied.

Kathy Hilton Doubles Down

As AllAboutTheTea.com readers know, Kathy Hilton laid into Lisa Rinna at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion — calling out the cast villain’s long history of bullying women. 

“You are the biggest bully in Hollywood and everyone knows it,” the socialite, 63, tells the former soap actress, 59 — whom she’s known for decades.

Kathy Hilton has no regrets calling Lisa Rinna a “bully” for exploiting her Aspen “meltdown” for ratings and a storyline.

The famous mom of Paris Hilton doubled down on her “bully” claims — saying she “certainly didn’t say” the nasty remarks Rinna claims she did. Cameras weren’t rolling during the alleged “psychotic break.” 

“She is a bully. She bullied everybody, and I think that is just the worst,” Kathy Hilton restated to Extra at BravoCon, adding that she “will not let that go.”

“I never, ever, ever should have apologized [to sister Kyle Richards],” she continued.

How Lisa Rinna Bullied Lisa Vanderpump

During season 9, Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump’s feud exploded. Before RHOBH season 9 began production, Lisa Vanderpump’s brother, Mark Vanderpump passed away and her co-stars showed her no sympathy. And throughout Season 9, drama with Dorit Kemsley’s adopted (then returned) dog, Lucy, from LVP’s foundation, Vanderpump Dogs, was used to taunt and drive Lisa off the show. 

After adopting the dog, Dorit gave Lucy away instead of returning her to Vanderpump’s shelter. Lisa Vanderpump was accused of  leaking the story to Radar Online — the scandal was dubbed “Puppygate.”

Kyle Richards sided with Lisa Rinna and Teddi Mellencamp, who led the charge to bully and expose Vanderpump throughout Puppygate. The drama ended Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump’s once-close friendship. As a result, Vanderpump skipped the season 9 reunion, and ultimately quit the Bravo reality series.

Lisa Vanderpump & Garcelle Beauvais’ Friendship

Garcelle Beauvais joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in season 10, after Vanderpump’s exit but the ladies have forged a friendship.

Garcelle attended Vanderpump’s grand opening of her new Las Vegas eatery, Vanderpump à Paris. Garcelle and Vanderpump became friends after meeting at an event at Vanderpump’s restaurant TomTom last year. Vanderpump held a fundraiser for Haiti and invited Garcelle, who is a Haitian immigrant.

Garcelle shared with Vanderpump that her son, Oliver Saunders, was looking for a job and the former RHOBH star offered him a position at Vanderpump à Paris. Additionally, Garcelle was spotted filming a scene with Vanderpump for the upcoming season of Vanderpump Rules. 

Will Lisa Vanderpump Return To RHOBH

The restauranteur described The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a “nightmare,” to Page Six. Vanderpump made it clear that she has no desire to return to the series with women that drove her off the show.

“I’m happy I left. I tried to leave three or four times,” she told the outlet. “I would never go back. That’s a hot mess that I could do without.”

Kyle Richards’ Betrayal

As reported, Kyle Richards is now speaking out against her sister Kathy — making some bold claims and painting her sibling in a bad light. Kyle alleges that Kathy said worse things about her than what Lisa Rinna initially revealed.

“It was the way she spoke to me and everyone saw that. But nobody spoke up at the reunion. I don’t know why. I think they don’t wanna deal with it. But everyone saw,” Kyle said on Two Ts in a Pod on October 28.

“I knew there was more and I didn’t want to know anymore and Kathy had said, ‘I said really bad things and I should not have.’ And I just didn’t want to know anymore,” Kyle claims, adding that Lisa Rinna “never said all the things” she heard.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently on hiatus.
