Kyle Richards once reflected on the infamous limo scene with Sister Kim
The infamous limo fight between Kim and Kyle has lived on in “Housewives” history, often brought up on social media and in throwback scenes from the show.
Although Kyle’s accusation of Kim finally gave Kim the opportunity to speak openly about her struggles, the “Halloween” star previously admitted to regretting her behavior.
“That night should never have happened,” Kyle said, according to Bravo’s Daily Dish. “It was incredibly difficult to experience at first and even more difficult to watch and relive,” she wrote. “There were issues between my sister and I off camera. I’m not good at hiding my feelings as well as others, so I exposed my feelings on camera.”

Kyle and Kim Richards begged Bravo to end the fight
Kyle echoed these sentiments in the tell-all “Real Housewives” book, “Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It.”
When speaking about the moment with the book’s author, Kyle explained how Kim’s drinking negatively affected her.
“When people drink, they’re not the nicest people in the world, let’s put it that way,” she said. “And it doesn’t bring out the best in others around them either.”
Cohen also discussed that moment, revealing that Kim and Kyle were “begging Evolution [the show’s production company] and Bravo for removing the stage from the show.”
Needless to say, the sisters didn’t get what they wanted and, according to NBCUniversal Executive Vice President Shari Levine, it was to preserve the integrity of the series.

“All of the Housewives series are based on filming people’s lives and documenting their real-life interactions,” Levine said. “The show really captures life as it happens. And everyone has moments they want to keep off the air. The great equalizer for all franchises is that it’s all out there. If it’s shot, we’ll edit it.”

During a season 15 episode, Kyle admitted that she was in another relationship after her time with Mauricio ended; however, she did not name her ex-partner.
“It’s just complicated,” she said on the show. “I’ve been through so much in the last few years, and it’s really changed my outlook on life and the way I want to live.”
“Even though I’m sad about this relationship, I’m also very grateful. You lose yourself as a wife and a mother, and you can kind of forget who you are. And I learned a lot about myself during that time,” she added.
