Kyle Richards seemingly responded to rumors of alcoholism with an Instagram Story message about “rock bottom” on Saturday.
After sharing her thoughts on Kathy Hilton, 64, potentially returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for a future season and revealing if she’s met Paris Hilton‘s new daughter, London, Kyle, 54, appeared to fire back at claims of alcoholism being the driving force in her decision to get sober in July 2022.
“You can just ‘outgrow’ alcohol you know,” read an image posted to Kyle’s Instagram Story on December 16, via Page Six. “You don’t have to be an ‘alcoholic’ or ‘hit rock bottom.’ You are allowed to just wake up & decide to carve out a different path, any time you like.”
While attending a live taping of Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast at BravoCon last month, Kyle confirmed she’s “not an alcoholic” and said she quit drinking for “fitness and health reasons.”
“I’ve suffered from anxiety for my entire life,” she explained. “So to all of a sudden have my anxiety be so minimized at a time that it should be at its worst. I was really surprised by that. I don’t even take Lexapro anymore!”
During another interview, Kyle was asked about her older sister’s potential return to RHOBH, which Kathy recently said was up to Kyle.
“Of course I am [interested],” Kyle told The Messenger on December 13. “Obviously, with us being in a better place, that makes sense. It wouldn’t make sense if we weren’t speaking. It’s hard enough. I just want to make sure that it’s something that won’t damage our relationship. Of course, I’m open to that. She’s amazing on the show and she makes me laugh.”
That said, Kyle is “definitely trying very hard” to stay on good terms with Kathy and made an effort to give her a heads up about comments she made about their relationship amid filming on season 13.
“I made a point to talk to my family and just saying, ‘Listen, you’re gonna see the show when things come up, because we hadn’t healed yet. If you remember, it was seven months ago and we were in a different place. Please remember that, and what we have now — what it feels like to have each other,’” she revealed.
As for Paris’ new baby, Kyle said she looks forward to meeting her soon.
“I’m supposed to be leaving town, so I’ve got to go when I come back,” Kyle shared. “Carter, Paris’ husband, has been texting me saying, ‘Please come over to see the baby,’ and I have to bring her [a] little gift I got her.”
