Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley are still not on speaking terms. Kyle blames PK for everything, Dorit blames PK for certain things and Sutton’s Mom thinks PK is unattractive.

Speaking of Sutton, she is happy as can be these days and a blooming friendship with Erika is in full effect. Last, but not least, several RHOSLC cast members have spoken out with a desire to kick Meredith to the curb as rumors, and nastiness, surrounding next season’s cast grow louder. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
