Real Housewives’ Kyle Richards: ‘Anxiety made me want to quit the show’

Kyle, what can we expect 
from the new season of 
Real Housewives?

Where to begin?! We add a new dynamic to the season with a new housewife called Dorit [Kemsley]. At first people 
might be a little confused 
by her, but she’s great for the show. I’m involved in quite 
a lot of the drama.

What happens?

There are lots of accusations about my sister Kim – it becomes explosive. She’s 
sober and happy right now, though. She’s doing great 
and she’s worked hard to get 
where she’s at. Her daughter 
has had a baby, so she’s with them all the time. She’s in 
a peaceful place and I’m 
so happy about that.

Have you ever come close to walking out on the show?

Several times. I’ve thought: 
‘I can’t do this, it’s causing me too much stress and anxiety,’ a number of times. The show can be very difficult – especially when it’s arguments to do with my sister and our relationship.

How do you keep a good balance of being on the show and being a busy mum?

When we’re shooting the 
show there are things that I always 
like to do with my kids. I make 
sure that I’m always around to 
take them to school. And when 
I’m not shooting, that’s all I do. 
I’m a typical mum – I love to 
do the school run. And I find 
that taking time out to exercise 
is really key for that balance
too. I’m in a better mood when 
I exercise, for sure.

What do you do in the gym?

I love cycling – I like to do it 
twice a week. And I’ll go to hot 
yoga classes too.

Do you see your niece Paris Hilton, much? What’s she really like?

I see Paris a lot. I see Nicky 
[Hilton] too – I see all of my nieces quite often. Paris is a lovely 
girl. She’s very eccentric – I don’t know if you’ve noticed!

Do you watch any of the other Real Housewives shows?

I like to dip in and out of 
Orange County and Atlanta.
