Peace reigns yet again as Kyle Richards ends feuds with Lisa Rinna and Dorit Kemsley. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has mended fences with her former co-star Lisa Rinna and current co-star Dorit Kemsley by inviting them over for her daughter Alexia Umansky’s engagement party.
Richards, 56, was a proud mom as she celebrated her daughter’s engagement party. On Sunday, May 18, she posted a photo on Instagram from Umansky’s special occasion, which featured a reunion with some of her closest circle from the Bravo reality show.
In the picture were Kyle Richards, the bride-to-be Alexia Umansky, RHOBH costar Dorit Kemsley, and alumni Teddi Mellencamp and Lisa Rinna. The current and former Housewives all glammed up in sequins and fur for the special occasion. While Umansky took center stage in the photo in an ethereal white gown.
They were all smiles in the photo, which indicated that the Housewives had called a truce. But what caused the feud between Kyle and Rinna?
Why Were Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna Feuding?
Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna were feuding for quite a while before they finally buried the hatchet. Apparently. Rinna’s last RHOBH reunion was an unpleasant experience for Richards, who was beefing with her half-sister Kathy Hilton, who makes an appearance on the show as a “friend of.”
At the time, Rinna and Jayne together accused Hilton of using homophobic slurs during a Season 12 cast trip meltdown. Rinna went to great lengths to expose all of the damaging and incriminating things Hilton, 66, had said during the meltdown, which she called a “psychotic break.”
Richards began to feel like Rinna, 61, was finding pleasure in the feud between her and her sister, so she distanced herself from the former Bravolebrity.
What Caused the Fallout Between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley?
Richards and Kemsley used to get along so well as friends and colleagues; however, their relationship began to sour toward the end of Season 13. During that reunion, Kemsley accused Richards of sending her a “manipulative” text asking her to resolve their issues in private rather than on the reunion stage. Richards then got upset because Kemsley shared a screenshot of their private conversation on the show, and they stopped speaking to each other for months.
When Season 14 began, Kemsley, 48, accused Richards of downplaying their friendship and accused her of trying to “silence” her ahead of the Season 13 reunion. She also mentioned that Richards’ failure to support her after her separation from her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, affected their bond.
In fact, Kemsley felt Richards was more loyal to PK. The drama escalated when Richards confirmed she was still texting PK. Although Richards insisted her communication with PK was cordial, the discovery that the two parties were in contact led to a number of heated arguments.
How Did Kyle Richards Reconcile With Lisa Rinna and Dorit Kemsley?
Many fans have reacted as Kyle Richards ends the feuds with Lisa Rinna and Dorit Kemsley by inviting them to her daughter, Umansky’s, engagement party. The event gathering served as a platform for reconciliation towards a more positive and amicable relationship between the cast members.
Richards has also acknowledged burying the hatchet with Kemsley.
“Dorit and I are good, I’m happy to say,” she said during an April Amazon Live stream. “We worked things out during the season and then, of course, had to go over things again at the reunion, which is always tricky, but I’m happy to say we’re in a better place.”
From the Instagram photo shared on Sunday by Richards, she posed with Umansky, Rinna, Kemsley, and RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp. She captioned, “Our beautiful bride-to-be @alexiaumansky was feeling the love last night 🤍.”
“Also, someone here didn’t know their jacket was on upside down 🙃 #dejavu,” she added, referring to alum Denise Richards’ viral jacket moment from her Season 13 debut.
Rinna then commented on the post, “😍,” while Kemsley wrote, “So happy to be there to celebrate the first of many beautiful moments for our stunning @alexiaumansky and her love, Jake! Such a fun night! 🥂.”
These comments reveal that the feuds have ended, and all parties are now on good terms.
