Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills heard earlier this week that it's extremely unlikely that Kim Richards will be returning to the show. The fallen reality star seems to have hit her addiction bottom and after being AWOL from a rehab facility while criminal DUI charges were officially filed against her, Bravo seems to be finished with her chaos. Caught in the fallout is Richards sister, Kyle Richards, also a RHOBH cast member. While Kyle is reportedly all but begging to hang on to her job it honestly doesn't seem like she'll have very much to do without her sister in the cast to feud with.
Kyle may be hoping to convince Bravo to allow her to stay with the reality show, but in their eyes this really might be the perfect time for them to part ways and wash their hands of the Richards sisters all together. For the first time in years, RHOBH isn't the only gig that Kyle has. She is currently working on a sitcom deal with TV Land, based on her upbringing.
According to an official press release, "Currently in development, the project is set in the '70s and inspired by Richards' unconventional upbringing by her mom, a single mother who alone raised Richards and her two sisters. Riggi will write the pilot script and executive produce along with John Wells ("Shameless," "ER," "The West Wing") and Andrew Stearn ("Shameless," "Southland," "The West Wing"). The project is a dark comedy about a woman's struggle to raise her family and claim her own brand of independence in a world not ready to give it. Richards will co-executive produce."
Maybe this is actually a blessing in disguise for Kyle, especially if she steps away from the Bravo franchise that has made her a household name. Putting some distance between herself and the dysfunction that anything involving her sister brings might actually be a healthy thing to do. Do you hope that both of the Richards sisters are gone from the RHOBH canvas the next time that it returns? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
