In a raw and emotional moment captured in a sneak peek for the upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards opens up about her mental breakdown and how she’s struggling with the toxicity within the cast. The 56-year-old reality star confesses to her longtime friend Erika Jayne that she’s reached a breaking point and no longer has the emotional strength to continue filming the show.
The preview shows Erika Jayne calling Kyle Richards on FaceTime to check in after a heated moment on the latest episode. During a tense conversation about Kyle’s communication with Paul “PK” Kemsley—who is in the midst of a public separation from his wife, Dorit Kemsley—Kyle confesses to Erika that she is feeling overwhelmed by the chaos.
“I’ve had my marriage questioned, my personal life questioned, now my character, my integrity. Now you can f*ck off. That’s where I draw the line.”
Erika Jayne, 53, offers a candid perspective, suggesting that Kyle Richards and Dorit should work out their issues privately, rather than letting the drama escalate any further. “There are too many people involved,” Erika tells her. “This is between the two of you, and the rest of us need to butt out.”
Kyle agrees, explaining that the emotional toll of the situation has become too much. “I am telling you… full-blown mental breakdown,” she admits.
Later, in a confessional, Kyle reflects on the overall state of her relationships with the women. She confesses that she’s never felt more alienated, saying, “I can honestly say in all of these years in this group, this is the worst I have ever felt, and I just don’t have the strength in me to keep doing this.”
As tensions rise, Kyle compares the group dynamics to something far more insidious. When discussing the fallout from her text drama with Dorit and PK, she exclaims, “I’m like, ‘What, are we in a cult?’ This is insane. It’s literally insane.”
Kyle’s frustration is palpable as she continues to explain how everything about her life has been scrutinized. “I’ve had my marriage questioned, my personal life questioned, now my character, my integrity. Now you can f*ck off. That’s where I draw the line.”
Despite her frustration, Kyle makes it clear that she’s not willing to engage in the drama any longer. She reveals that if Dorit is unwilling to move past the situation, she’ll walk away: “I’m gonna say what I have to say to Dorit. I’m not going to continue to discuss this and go down this situation anymore, and if she wants to move forward, great. And if she’s gonna keep doing this, then I’m going to disengage from her and that’s it.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8/7et on Bravo.
