Andy Cohen frankly discusses Kyle Richards' "mental breakdown" and the turmoil in RHOBH season 14

   

Andy Cohen is sharing his thoughts after Kyle Richards revealed that she had a "meltdown" while filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14. 

ICYMI, during a recent chat with Us Weekly, Kyle admitted that she "had a meltdown" that was her "first in 14 years."

"I was like, 'I don’t think I can physically do this anymore.' I walked off the set and didn’t shoot the next day. I was at my breaking point," she told the outlet. "I have so much on my plate, and some of the women just push."

Fans will have to stay tuned to find out what causes Kyle to reach her breaking point, but Season 14 marks the first full season that Kyle has been separated from Mauricio Umansky. 

During his own chat with the same outlet, Andy said that he "always hope[s] that she'll stay" on the show. 

"I think she lets people in. I think she translates the world of Beverly Hills to the viewer and has for a long time," Andy said about the diamond holder, who is the only remaining original cast member. "She’s been aspirational and relatable, yet her life is totally glamorous."

"We laugh with her, and we cry with her, and we look at her as a mom and a sister and a friend," the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host continued about Kyle. "We can identify with her in all those roles."A split of Andy Cohen and Kyle Richards.

Kyle Richards teases RHOBH Season 14
Elsewhere in her chat with the outlet, Kyle confirmed that viewers will get to see Mauricio on the upcoming season, even though she is currently estranged from the real estate broker.

She also previously teased her friendship dynamics with a few of the other ladies (the Season 14 also cast includes Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, new 'Wife Bozoma Saint John, and friends Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly).

Back in August, Kyle shared that she's in a really good place with Sutton.

"Sutton and I are good currently," Kyle said on an Amazon Live stream. "I hope to keep it that way."

The same can't necessarily be said for her friendship with Dorit, which really hit the rocks on Season 13.

"It's been up and down a lot, which you know, was not fun obviously when we're both already going through stuff," she explained on the same Amazon Live stream, referring to Dorit's separation from Paul "PK" Kemsley. "But we'll see how it all pans out."
