Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, 55, revealed that she recently ran into former best friend Lisa Vanderpump, 64 - and it took a surprising turn.
Richards, 55, used to be extremely close to Vanderpump when the two starred together on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
They were a dynamic duo, but that all changed during season nine, when the ladies fought over 'Puppygate' - a scandal that erupted when cast member Dorit Kemsley gave away her recently adopted dog, Lucy Lucy Apple Juice.
Richards and Vanderpump's friendship was left extremely fractured from the ensuing fallout, especially after Richards confronted Vanderpump about potentially selling the story about the dog.
After their fight, Vanderpump quit the show, and didn't even make an appearance on the season nine reunion.

Since then, the two friends have been estranged from each other - but Richards divulged that she recently ran into her former friend and her husband, Ken Vanderpump.
'I did see her recently, actually,' Richards, who is currently separating from longtime husband Mauricio Umansky, said during her November 5 Amazon Live, per Bravo's Daily Dish.
'And I said, "Hi," and she was with Ken,' the Halloween star divulged. 'This was not that long ago, maybe a month ago or so, and she was actually friendly.'
While the star didn't share more about where exactly she ran into the two of them, she admitted that Vanderpump's husband, Ken, was a bit warmer to her than Vanderpump herself during the interaction.
'Ken's always — he gives a kiss or whatever, she's a little colder but it was [an] interesting encounter,' Richards shared.
'Anyway, it was not bad, [it] did not go badly, I will say that.'
Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that the former stars have ran into each other in recent years.
In 2021, the two were coincidentally dining at the same restaurant - Japanese spot Shu in Beverly Hills - when Vanderpump sent her $132 dinner bill over to Richards' table as a joke.

Vanderpump was a member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since its first season, but left during season nine in 2019
Richards happened to be dining with a Real Housewives producer.
Lisa, who was eating out with her husband, reportedly had a playful friendship with the executive producer and 'jokingly felt he owed her a dinner,' according to TMZ.
However, it looks like things backfired - majorly.
The reality star said both Richards and the producer refused to pick up the tab and she left the waiter a cash tip and an imprint of her credit card in case they didn't pay.
Things got messy afterwards, as Vanderpump fought back at Richards' claims that she dined-and-dashed, even showing her paid bill to DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘I didn’t think I’d have to produce it, but here is the proof I paid the restaurant bill. Ken and I also gave the wonderful server a $40 tip in cash and the delightful hostess $15 for seating us so quickly,' Vanderpump told DailyMail.com at the time.
‘This once again reinforces why I left the show as Kyle can’t be trusted to tell the truth and she most certainly can’t take a joke.’
