I don't get it either.

Okay thank you. I tried so hard to see it but I always liked Kyle. I think Kim is awful and Kyle has no obligation to defend her.

I completely agree!  I was only a few episodes into season 5 when the interview aired, so I assumed Kyle did something terrible later on in the season.  When I finished I was a little confused because my opinion of Kyle hadn't changed, but my opinion of Kim did.  I don't know if Kim didn't want to admit certain things on camera, or she really believes it, but she is most certainly an addict.  She will be for the rest of her life, whether or not she is sober.  I feel like Lisa R. and Eileen were genuinely trying to help her, but Kim isn't ready to be held accountable for her actions.  Becoming friends with Brandi did not help anything either.  It made it worse, actually.

I have one reunion episode left to watch, but I couldn't believe it when Kim said she didn't think she'd had a relapse or slip when she took that pain pill!

No one else I know watches this show, so I can't talk about it with anyone!

Right?! I kept waiting for Kyle to do something really nasty and mean but nothing. I think she is just over Kim's shit and can't deal anymore. And brandi is a total nut job! I used to like her but can't stand her now.
 

Has anyone listened to Heather Dubrow's podcast about how someone stole almost 2 Million dollars from her!?! here is a recap incase you haven't listened:
  they sold their house, had tons of cash on hand, listened to their financial advisor (of 20 years, went to his sons wedding) and did various things with the money, and had money to "play with" and decided to "invest" in a lady who was buying blocks of room for the world cup then renting them out for more money (if that's not sketchy, IDK what is).  The Financial Advisor did a personal guarantee on the loan, so they assumed it was safe.  The whole thing was a scam, the FA was not even a certified accountant, just a tax prep person.  Also, the Personal Guarantee wasn't backed by anything, the Dubrow's never had their attorney look over the document.  

How crazy is all of that!? maybe i'm cynical, but rule number one for me in investing, if something is guaranteed 100% fail safe, it's sketchy.  Also, maybe 2 mil is nothing for them, obviously, but why wouldn't you let your attorney look over the documents first?? On another note, i understand doctors can be rich, but how does he have that much money!!??? 

Have you guys listened to reality checked on bravo Andy? It's hilarious and gives you your housewives fix! At least for me!

I agree, it's disgusting that anyone would even comment on something so superficial when Yolanda is that  ill. Not to mention that I think Yolanda has  other reasons besides feeling too sick and exhausted to wear makeup, she is trying to eliminate all toxins from her body/environment, and makeup is full of chemicals.
I loved Taylor's passion on the subject!

There have been rumors for years as to why Kim is the way she is, things her mother encouraged her to do to get parts as a child etc. I'm guessing that's part of the reason Kathy disagrees with Kim being on reality tv. Also I can't believe media didn't pick up that Mauricio worked for kathys husband then started his own co doing the same business in the same area until recently. Every family has their stuff but Kyle and Kim's is being half broadcasted because two sisters are on a show where normally most of the family gossip doesn't come up if it were only one sister. For Kyle it makes sense, she used the show to promote her clothing store and her husband's new business, I think she's getting scripted roles again but I'm not sure what Kim gets out of it other than something to do during the day, some press and some money.

Having said that dealing with an addict is hard at some point you just want to be like eff you I don't care what you went through you are exhausting. I say that from experience of dealing w a family member who is, not to drugs but still...

thanks kicked off.  was wondering how to get a h/w fix without actually watching the show.  I agree with u, if u r that ill, step down.  otherwise, set an example for your child(ren) and others with the disease as to how to be brave and keep it moving while living with the disease, that is unless the producers won't let you.  gotta remember, those who bring the drama on RH have better chance of being brought back next season
