Kyle Richards is still under fire despite The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star's response to Sutton and Garcelle. Kyle has been facing backlash for her behavior during and after Garcelle's birthday party. Fans were instantly offended by Kyle aggressively shaking Sutton and questioning her miscarriage claims. Things only got worse when she decided to laugh about Erika Jayne cussing at Garcelle's teenage son during a sitdown with Dorit Kemsley and their husbands.
A number of fans were already expressing their frustrations with Kyle over how long she's been cast on the show despite bringing very little to the show's standout storylines. Many have called for the OG housewife to get demoted to a friend or removed from the show entirely. But Kyle has a way of interjecting herself into feuds she's not involved in and many think it's her way of keeping her diamond. The latest episode saw Kyle jump in the middle of Sutton and Diana Jenkins spat and question Sutton's reveal of having two past miscarriages. Elsewhere, after she laughed about Garcelle's 14-year-old son being verbally assaulted by Erika, Kyle proceeded to defend Erika when Garcelle called her out in a group meeting.
Fans have grown extremely tired of Kyle's onscreen antics and didn't care for the lengthy statement she posted to her Instagram Story amid all the backlash. Reddit user u/firegirl110 reposted screenshots of Kyle's IG Story post to express their distaste for the OG housewife. "We see right through you and your PR team Kyle," the Redditor quipped. "Get her off my screen Bravo!" Others joined the discussion to dig into the parts of Kyle's statement they found the most offensive. Kyle noted how she, her husband Mauricio Umansky, and PK and Dorit Kemsley "minimalized" Jax getting attacked by Erika by making light of the encounter and instead focusing on Erika being drunk and finally "loosening up." Many onlookers felt like Kyle's brief mention of her poor behavior towards Garcelle and her son was another form of "minimalizing" their victimization.
Fans also felt like Kyle only posted the statement since Mauricio was catching heat along with his wife. Many think Kyle "wasn't about to ruin ANOTHER financial opportunity for him," as one Redditor put it. Others blasted Kyle for sharing the statement on her Instagram Story and said she only used that medium to avoid fans calling her out in the comments. While Kyle offered up a sincere apology to Sutton, her statement failed to issue one to Garcelle. Kyle excused her behavior by claiming she didn't witness Erika berate Garcelle's son firsthand, she only heard about it the next day and found it funny. But Dorit was present for the attack and still gave Erika "a major pass" since she was being more "loose and free." Critics called out Kyle's defense of her behavior saying "she had the context of it all and is just trying to gaslight us in broad daylight," one fan quipped while noting how "Mauricio didn't get enough heat for his 'it's great she did that,'" remark.
It's clear it'll take a lot more than an IG Story post to get Kyle out of the hot water she's in. She's not the only one. Kyle is joined by Dorit, their husbands, Lisa Rinna, and Diana Jenkins as show stars that fans would like to see go. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers are a lot different than they were when the show first started. The ladies will have to get with the times and understand how important it is to be mindful of others and their personal traumas, especially when it comes to a child. Kyle claims she didn't find Erika cussing at Jax funny. But the cameras captured the good laugh she, Mauricio, Dorit, and PK got out of it.
