The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills housewives are being accused of bullying other cast members, and Kyle Richards is here to deny the claims. It is no secret that the last few seasons have been consumed by childish drama and mean-girl bullying. While the women are being accused of ganging up on others on the show, Kyle says it is just not true.
Now called the “Fox Force Five,” Kyle, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Dorit Kemsley, and former housewife Teddi Mellencamp have all become close over the last few seasons. Some fans would claim they have become too close to the point where they do not want anyone else included in their mean-girl group. The ganging up from this particular housewife group really started when they set out to take Lisa Vanderpump down over Puppygate, and they were successful because Lisa could not take the bullying anymore and did not even show up for the reunion show. The RHOBH housewives then moved on to Denise Richards, who joined the cast the season after Lisa quit. They bullied her about rumors that she hooked up with former cast member Brandi Glanville to the point where Denise also quit the show.
Kyle spoke with Entertainment Tonight and seemed completely shocked by the accusation that her group of friends was ganging up on people. She said, “First of all, there’s never ever a plot to take anybody down. Things unfold, and then we go with whatever is unfolding, what’s happening in people’s lives at the time.” She went on to claim that the rumors are just stemming from fans who do not like that the group of women are so close and have such a connection with one another. Kyle thinks the issues all started when the women went to Provence, and not all of the castmates were able to attend the trip, which led this group of five women to form a bond.
It is odd that Kyle does not think the issues started until the women went to Provence. The bullying started way before then and really escalated when they ran Lisa Vanderpump off the show. Things have only gotten worse since then, and perhaps the trip to Provence gave the girls time to get even closer, which has led to even more ganging up on other women. Kyle claims it just looks like the women are ganging up on people, but that is not actually happening. Actions speak louder than words, and it is pretty clear that these five women are the issue.
While fans have loved The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for years because of the ridiculous drama these women stir up, it becomes a little hard to watch when the drama turns into bullying and dragging other women down. It will be interesting to see how the women handle the drama of Erika’s divorce and her legal issues on season 11. Will the “Fox Force Five” gang up on one of their own? Fans will have to wait and see.
