Kyle Richards is in the hot seat via text with Dorit’s husband
Richards and her co-star, Dorit Kemsleyargued in last week’s episode titled “What Kind of Chuck?”
The women were fighting over Richard texting Kemsley’s late husband, PK. The 56-year-old reality star claimed the texts were just “memes and jokes”.
“My friendship with PK is all memes and jokes,” Richards claimed. “You know, he doesn’t share anything about your relationship or what’s going on. We don’t talk like that. It’s literally like memes and jokes and stuff like that and that’s it.”
“It’s not even that Kyle communicated with PK after we broke up,” Kemsley said. “The thing is, you text my husband when we’re not on speaking terms, when we’re not on good terms. It’s just not okay.”

Richards reads the text to his co-stars

The women were dining at Chuck E. Cheese, and Richards was upset that her character was being questioned.
“I know you have a lot of friends but I’m alone and here when you need me,” Richards said in the text. “I have never repeated what you shared with me and I never will. I’ll keep sending memes and I won’t forget the laughing emoji.”
“The fact that she’s trying to make it seem like I’m (doing) something inappropriate is disgusting. And I’m not going to get to a point in my life where I’m going to have to pull out my phone and screw it because I’m an adult and it’s a fucking joke.”

Kyle Richards breaks down in The Perfect Storm
After Richards read PK’s text out loud, her colleagues noted in their confessionals that the texts between Richards and PK weren’t just memes.
During a spa day at Sant John’s, Richards comes across her texts in PK, per Well done.
“I want to say something and then I’m going to leave,” Richards said through tears. “I don’t know how it all went so wrong… I can’t do it anymore. I can’t anymore. I really can’t.’
“I try to be in a good place in my life,” she added. “I love you PK and your kids and you know it, I know you know it. I was made to feel like I’d done something wrong, you know, sent the PK text, so I said I’ll read it once and that’s it.’

“He’s playing April Fools,” she continued. “The next message won’t come until the day you break up. I said, ‘I know you have a lot of friends, I’m also alone.’ If you need me, I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me, and I won’t.’ That means that’s not what I’m talking about.
Richards then gestured to the crew, noting that she would not be sharing details with production.
Garcel Beauvais does not accept Richards’ excuse

After Richards snaps out of the spa day, Beauvais is shown in a confessional breaking down a text message that Richards reads aloud.
“I don’t see what her conversation with PK has to do with the production,” Bovet said. “So if you’re having a private conversation with someone and you want to say, ‘I’m never going to share what we talked about with production,’ you’d write ‘with production,’ and she didn’t.”
“It doesn’t look good either way,” Beauvais added. “Because obviously that means it was more than memes and jokes. Because if it’s memes and jokes, share them! Production also likes to laugh.”

Richards noted the behavior of Dorit Kemsley of Maurizio

In last week’s episode, Richards recalled that Kemsley was too “nice” with her husband, Maurizio Umansky.
She showed Boz footage from 2022 of Kemsley kissing Umansky on the shoulder as he hugged PK, for PEOPLE.
“Let me show you something funny,” Richards said. “It was a stupid rumor, but I’ll just show you. There was a whole rumor because they said, “Dorit is too easy on Maw.”
“There was a whole rumor going around that Dorit had a crush on Mau, and it was all over the internet. She had to go and protect this and that and that. So don’t send me crazy memes, okay?”
