Kyle Richards is looking back on the moment she was kicked out of Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd‘s home amid the ninth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which featured their “Puppy Gate” falling out.
While also reflecting on psychic Allison Dubois‘ prediction about her marriage to now-estranged husband Mauricio Umansky, 54, who she split from in 2023 amid rumors of a romance with 30-year-old female country singer Morgan Wade, Kyle, 56, admitted to finding fans’ many impersonations of the moment “funny.”
“It’s so funny to me that of all people, it’s Ken Todd being quoted. People love to say, ‘Goodbye, Kyle.’ I’m walking down the street, people yell it out of a taxi. It is funny. I love that. It makes me laugh,” she shared during a March 31 interview with PEOPLE.
As the scene in question was played for the cast, Dorit Kemsley, 48, wondered why someone could call someone else a “a lying b*tch” but didn’t allow someone to say that they were lying as Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, seemingly signaled Lisa’s “double standards.”
Then, after Lisa, 64, said in the scene that she would’ve believed Kyle if she’d sworn on her kids’ lives, as Lisa did about “Puppy Gate,” Kyle said, “I don’t swear on my kids’ lives.”
While the cast gave their best renditions of Ken’s demand that Kyle leave his and Lisa’s home, with Dorit delivering what Boz described as an “aggressive” reenactment, Erika Jayne, 53, recalled making a video with her crew.
Then, after her own, “Goodbye, Kyle,” Kye revealed there were “T-shirts” with the phrase and shared something “interesting about this scene.”
“If I’m going to say something to someone’s face, I’m gonna be consistent in my interviews and speaking with the other women. I’m going to be consistent,” she explained. “I’m not going to say, ‘I’m so sorry I haven’t been a good friend to you. I love you. I adore you.’ And then in my interview or another scene, say something completely different, which is exactly why I had to go to Lisa and say, ‘This is what I said because this conversation [has been happening] for a long time and I want you to know because I’m not going to say this behind your back and then not say it to your face.’ I did not want to be two-faced, but that’s how that went. Maybe next time I’ll keep it to myself.”
Then turning to Allison, who told Kyle that Mauricio would “never emotionally fulfill you” in season one, Kyle described the dinner as “so crazy” and confessed to being taken by surprise.
“I was shocked. My blood was also boiling,” she recalled. “When she said, ‘I know when this person will live and die and I love that about me,’ I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ it was just, it was nasty.”
“[But] looking back at that, I would’ve been the exact same way I was then. I don’t think I would’ve done anything differently,” she added.
