Kyle Richards believes her former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-stars Camille Grammer and Lisa Vanderpump are working together to make her look bad and create a wedge between her and Erika Girardi.

“This is so contrived ? ,” Richards, 52, said of Grammer’s claims that Richards talked about Tom Girardi’s financial troubles at Andy Cohen’s baby shower in 2019. “These two [are] talking about RHOBH more than the ACTUAL cast does #thankyou.”
The current “Housewife” left her remark under a fan page’s post about Grammer, 53, setting the record “straight” on the allegations that Richards had been gossiping about her pal Erika Jayne’s then-husband behind her back.
“To set the record straight it was Kyle who told me Tom was in trouble during @Andy baby shower,” Grammer wrote. “I was surprised that Kyle was acting chummy chummy with Erika,” she added. “Erika even when [sic] on to call Kyle the Queen of #RHOBH Crazy rt [sic]?!?!”
Vanderpump, 61, who left “RHOBH” in 2019 after nine seasons following a feud involving Richards dubbed “Puppygate,” added, “Truth always comes out lol.”
Grammer was first to spark the rumor that a certain “Housewife” had mentioned Giradi’s money issues nearly two years ago to her fellow reality stars. She did not mention Richards by name at the time, but many fans speculated it was Kathy Hilton’s younger sister.
In an interview with DailyMailTV in late September, Vanderpump reluctantly confirmed that Richards was behind the gossiping.
“It didn’t surprise me when Camille told me that it was Kyle that had told her the gossip about her supposed friend Erika Jayne,” the restauranteur said. “That’s how Kyle works.”
Days later, Richards appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” and attempted to clear her name.
Mocking Vanderpump’s British accent, she told Cohen, 53, “I mean, Andy, I mean, I would never say something like this, ever.”
“But one could argue perhaps that maybe her memory is fading along with her relevance,” she added in jest. “Because she wasn’t even at the baby shower.”
Vanderpump then responded on Twitter, “Doesn’t the saying go that people who are good liars use jokes to deflect? Good job Kyle we believe you did start the rumors.”
Girardi’s now-disgraced law firm, Girardi Keese, owes over $101 million in debt, while Jayne, 50, is also being sued for $25 million by the trustee handling the Girardi Keese bankruptcy case. She has been accused of spending the firm’s millions on her American Express bill, assistants and a glam squad, among other expenses.
We don’t know who’s telling the truth — but it’s clear that someone’s lying.
