Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards defended her texts with PK Kemsley amid his separation from Dorit Kemsley.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy asked Kyle about her instantly infamous text conversation with PK.

Let’s talk about the text:

Andy asked Kyle if her saying, “I’ve never repeated anything you’ve said to me and I never would” in a text to PK might seem suspicious to Dorit.

Kyle admitted, “I can see how that would sound suspicious.”

“I was having a hard time explaining [this] on camera,” she began. “We had just started shooting the season. So, when you do what we do, people get scared to talk and say things – especially when cameras have just come up.”

Andy clarified who Kyle was speaking about when she said she wouldn’t repeat anything she said in the text with PK. “So you meant with production,” asked Andy.

Kyle stated, “I meant we just started shooting. I’m not going to talk about this on camera.”

Record scratch:

Before we move on, we have to talk about Kyle beating around the bush (pun intended) …

Three paragraphs prior, Kyle said, “When you do what we do, people get scared to talk and say things – especially when cameras have just come up.”

Translation … “*I* get scared to talk and say things – especially when cameras have just come up.”

Kyle is still on defense:

“I do want to say something really quickly …”

“That text that I read. Everyone was like, ‘Kyle said she was only sending memes.’ I told EVERYBODY that I sent PK a text AND Dorit when they announced their separation.”

“No one seems to mention that.”
