Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky, Dorit Kemsley, and Paul "PK" Kemsley were once a fabulous foursome, but now, their roles in one another's lives — and their loyalties to each other — have changed.
During Season 14, Episode 4 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle shared that she and PK maintain a relationship despite his split from Dorit (and Kyle's ongoing drama with her) — a fact that shocked her fellow 'Wives.
While chatting with Garcelle Beauvais, the actresses got into a discussion about how Mauricio and PK’s friendship has maintained itself despite Kyle's feud with Dorit.
“It’s interesting that you said Mau and PK are so connected. And that’s odd, it’s ironic that they are and you [and Dorit] aren’t,” Garcelle said.
“Well, how about that PK reaches out to me?” Kyle responded.
“What?!” said Garcelle. “He does?”
Then, in a confessional, she shared even more of her surprise: “Holy sh-t.”
“Oh yeah,” said Kyle.
Why does Kyle Richards text PK Kemsley?
After Kyle and PK’s texting relationship was hinted at in the RHOBH Season 14 trailer, she discussed the nature of the texts in an interview with E! News. "Of course, from being friends for 10 years I have text messages with PK, but they were referring to DMs of memes, which we’ve always done," she said. "We send each other back and forth, memes always."
Kyle also insisted that Dorit had never been bothered by them texting in the past. As she put it, "She would even say, 'Kyle and I were not even speaking and she and PK will send their memes and I see them laughing, like, there they are, like brother and sister.'"

During the RHOBH Season 14 premiere, Kyle reached out to PK after hearing he and Dorit were separating. Dorit shared her reaction to this on the post-premiere episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "I was surprised in the moment that she had texted him before she ever [texted] me," she said.
