The drama about Kyle Richards texting with Paul “PK” Kemsley is far from over, and in the above preview for Season 14, Episode 8 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle breaks the fourth wall in order to shed new light on the situation. 

When the subject of Kyle’s communication with Dorit Kemsley‘s estranged husband is once again brought up in the video above, Kyle gathers her friends and tells them she’s going to say something and then leave.

“I don’t know how this all went so wrong … ” she starts before Dorit asks her to sit down.

“I don’t want to,” responds Kyle. “I really don’t. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do this anymore. I really can’t. I’m trying to be in a good place in my life. I want to say one thing, and then I’m leaving.”

When she’s met with more resistance, she stays firm. And then, facing Dorit, she gives a big statement.

“I love you, and PK, and your kids. You know that,” she says. “I know that you know that. I’ve been made to feel like I did something wrong, you know, sending a text to PK. So I said, ‘I’m going to read this once and that is it.’ And then [Bozoma Saint John] said something today that made it seem like maybe it was something weird, so obviously I’m showing that I have nothing to hide. I’m going to read it to you guys now.”

Kyle goes on to read her buzzed-about text to PK, which she sent when he and Dorit announced their separation.

“I said: ‘I know you have a lot of friends. I’m also one. If you need me, I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me and wouldn’t,’” Kyle says, repeating the text she had previously read aloud to Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais in Episode 7. Motioning to Dorit, she explains, “I don’t mean regarding you. I think that’s what you’re taking it as. I’m not talking about that.”

Then, gesturing to the cameras filming the women, Kyle states, “I’m talking about this, OK? Which I can’t say because we’re filming and in production.”

In a confessional, Garcelle announces her confusion with Kyle’s reveal.

“I don’t get what her talking to PK has to do with production,” Garcelle says. “So, if you’re having a private conversation with someone, and you want to say ‘I will never share what we talked about with production, you would write ‘with production.’ And she didn’t do that.”

“Either way it doesn’t look good, because obviously that means it was more than memes and jokes,” Garcelle adds. “Because if it’s memes and jokes, share them. Production likes to laugh too.”

Kyle’s texts to PK have been a hot topic throughout this Season of RHOBH. While Kyle has maintained that the messages are friendly and consist of memes and jokes (with the exception of the one she read aloud in the clip above), many of the women have taken issue that she continues to communicate with Dorit’s estranged husband. 

When Kyle first read the text aloud during Episode 7, Sutton was taken aback. “Wait a minute,” she said in a confessional. “This is not just about memes and jokes. This is serious talk.”

During The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Garcelle reflected on the moment as well.

“It didn’t dawn on me until I laid in the bed that night and I ran that through my head and I go, ‘Wait, did she say, ‘I’ve never said anything you’ve said to me and I never will?’ Which made it seem like they talked about things that maybe Dorit doesn’t know,’” Garcelle said. “No one asked her to read that, by the way. She volunteered to read that.”

Erika, meanwhile, explained that situations like this are the reason she hates text messages.

“You can take it like a script,” she said. “You can take it and make it anything you want. Give me a line read on this. I can make what you text him sound any f–king way I want, and if you don’t understand that, you’re not creative. But you and I both know I know what you meant in that moment.”
