Kyle Richards reveals some of the RHOBH cast ‘were praying to get COVID’ so they wouldn’t have to take part in ‘brutal’ 11th season reunion

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards revealed that some of her castmates ‘were praying to get COVID’ in order to avoid taping the ‘brutal’ 11th season reunion last fall.

Appearing on Monday’s episode of This Morning, the 53-year-old former child star confessed: ‘We have to [tape them]. I mean, we sign up for this you know? You’ve got to carry it out until the very end.’

‘And for all of us, just the night before, the amount of stress, the amount of excuses – I think some were praying to get COVID or something so they don’t have to show up.’

‘I treat it like a boxing match. Like, I’m going into the ring, so I will have a massage, I will go to bed early, I literally have to meditate – anything I can to get through that day.’

Adding: ‘Because we are on a sofa for 12 hours and it’s brutal, so awkward, and sometimes you don’t speak to each other after.’

Kyle – who’s attended all 12 reunions since 2010 – told co-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby that despite the drama: ‘We’re sisters, it’s complicated but we’re blood, and we always come back together.’

‘None of our show is set up or scripted – producers chat with you and ask what’s going on in your life and things happen from there,’ Richards explained.

‘I had never intended to do a soap opera or reality show and here I am now.’

The Bravo-lebrity noted: ‘We film for four months and promote the rest of the year and have one month off.’

Kyle has been trying to convince executive producer Andy Cohen to allow the cast to film some of the 13th season in London.

‘This is my number one request to get to film in London. If I survive this series I want to do that,’ Richards said.

The Hollywood-born socialite still ‘can’t believe’ her eldest daughters – Alexia Simone Umansky, 26; and Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, 33 – will star in Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills with her second husband Mauricio Umansky and father-in-law Eduardo Umansky.

‘I had my daughter coming to me and saying, “This person made me cry. They were asking in my interviews,”‘ Kyle said.

Richards said: ‘I had my daughter coming to me and saying, “This person made me cry. They were asking in my interviews.” And I said, “Never, ever say something that you don’t want to say. Never forget that.” Because [producers] will ask things that will kind of… I say, “Always stay true to yourself. If you’re not comfortable just say, I will not ever say or do anything that is not true to who I am”‘

When Holly asked Richards if she learned that lesson the hard way, she replied: ‘I did.’

‘In the first seasons, you know, I would get provoked or I would look back and think, “I don’t like the way I reacted, that’s not who I am,”‘ The Housewives of the North Pole actress recalled.

‘In the very beginning, and you learn real quickly to just always be yourself – the good, the bad, and the ugly.’
