RHOBH OG Kyle Richards appears on WWHL following the season 13 premiere

Kyle Richards is opening up about how the death of her best friend from suicide led to the dramatic changes fans are seeing in her life on RHOBH.

RHOBH OG Kyle Richards is finally opening up about what led to the dramatic changes currently going on in her life.

During last week’s episode of RHOBH, Kyle confessed to her co-stars that she can’t afford to be depressed, which is why she ultimately stopped drinking and started focusing on exercise to help ease her anxiety.

The Instagram account @yourbishtherapist shared insight into what she believes Kyle Richards is going through following the sudden and shocking death of her best friend, Lorene Shea, who passed away in May 2022 of suicide, ensuing struggles with mental health. Lorene and Kyle had been friends since they were seven years old.

According to @yourbishtherapist, Kyle experienced “severe depression and anxiety” as well as “survivors guilt and blame/shame” following the “significant” loss of her childhood best friend.

To cope with the “intensely painful” loss, Kyle “realized she needed to do something…to avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms due to her family history of addiction.”

“Kyle’s commitment to addressing her emotions in a healthy manner led to her [stepping] away from alcohol” and “channeling unwanted urges into a productive outlet,” i.e., working out.

The account also noted that Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage issues probably occurred because Kyle “expected emotional support from Mau that he was incapable/unwilling to provide,” which “left Kyle feeling disappointed, resentful, and betrayed.”

Kyle shared the post from @yourbishtherapist on her Instagram Story and encouraged RHOBH fans to swipe through them. She also added her comments on the therapist’s findings.

“Please click on this & swipe through these posts…Everyone knew I was dealing with this. For whatever reason, it wasn’t shown on camera YET. This will be addressed very soon.

However, I do believe Moe tried to be there for me. Although, I’m not sure anyone knew exactly how to be.”

She is really trying so hard to develop a story line. Even dragging the memory of her departed friend to do so.

So that makes sense and that kind of loss is more common than people who haven't experienced it realize! So is this supposed to be the first step to do what she set out to do a year and a half ago? ---"I will do whatever it takes to try & help change the laws that are in place that prevent people from getting the help they need."----- ?? Is that what she's been doing instead of hanging out with her young girlfriend while married and with a kid still at home? Was that what the music video was supposed to be about?!! I must have missed it!! Based on her performance all these years, she seems to be using this to play victim and make excuses. What she doesn't get is she can't make excuses for her selfish, manipulative behavior all these years. It appears she is exploiting her friend's death for some kind of sick personal gain, IMO. Too bad she didn't do something to try change the laws regarding suicidal family members who are adults starting when she said she would... She has the money and the time for sure but is far too self absorbed to care enough ,IMO.

While this all sounds very good isn't she doing EXACTLY what she accused Sutton of doing? Why didn't she say any of this when pressed? She only said she and her husband were going through a tough time. I find that Kyle looks for people to give her space, compassion, and mercy yet she can't give that to others. She's done it in the past and she's currently doing it now. Losing a friend to suicide is traumatic and it leaves you so confused as I can attest. The thing is you must be willing to get help and ask for it else you drown. Based on Kyle's patterns of behavior in the past she sucks at asking for what she wants and expects everyone to read her mind and magically know what she needs and means. I doubt she had honest conversations with her husband about what she was going through. I mean she told different versions of her change in lifestyles. Now they could all be true yet this she never even hinted at. She told us she wanted to get healthier, she was ashamed of her nastiness last year, she needs clarity, and last week she can't afford to drink because she gets depressed. You can't blame people for trying to understand you when they know the superficial answers are superficial. And you can't get mad at people when they see how heartless you are to others grieving (LVP) or dealing with marriage challenges (Brandi, Yolanda, and Denise) or health issues (Yolanda & Sassoon) and you never admit to your lack of compassion. Two wrongs don't make a right and Kyle you made your bed now you must deal with the consequences of your behavior.

Nothing new here; "the system" which Kyle speaks of is indeed full of nutjob therapists who are often sicker than those they treat. Here's a thought; perhaps all of these people should stop relying on false prophets, soothsayers, and psychics, and start accepting Jesus into their lives. Just a thought, end of sermon.

I think it is more about feeling helpless when a family member or friend is suicidal yet because they are an adult you can't force them to do anything. However with Kyle, she just talks and wants attention so who knows what she was talking about. Good or not good therapists cannot "fix" someone who becomes hell bent on self destruction if the patient doesn't keep appointments or do the work to keep trying to deal with the issues. Even the "turn to Jesus" approach has to be something the person has to want to try.
Snarky Enigma December 4, 2023 - 8:12 pm
Technically you may be right, but I've never subscribed to the notion that "there's nothing anyone can really do". I believe there is a LOT true loved ones can do.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 8:41 pm
Oh there is plenty. Then no matter what they do, like every day perhaps for many months, they can't force them to try to deal with and get help for their issues long enough stay alive. What I'm talking about and what I think people mean about the "system" can be talking about having help to force an adult child who is a threat to themselves due to severe depression to be more or less locked up in an attempt to try to help deal with it. It just isn't an option but it is with teenagers and it can work.
Snarky Enigma December 5, 2023 - 3:04 pm
ITA that if a person is genuinely hellbent on self-destruction, they will find a way to succeed. I don't mean to sound anti-psycho therapy, because sometimes a mentally ill person needs the non-biased involvement and skill of a doctor, and there are some genuinely good doctors out there. But as with all medical care, it's a matter of finding the right one. Through personal experiences in my life, I admittedly have become very cynical towards the health industry in general. Rarely do I respect ANY doctor's opinion, because that's all it is ... an "opinion".
675309 December 5, 2023 - 3:39 pm
It is much harder when the ailment is mental and is less likely to be successful. It is hard enough when it is something physical and not easy to figure out. I too learned to become cynical or at least not expect too much and realize it can be a lot of work. I remember the good old days when I was young with no old parents or kids and if I had some respiratory bacterial infection, I just went to the doctor and said, " I have..... and need an antibiotic prescription". Things changed!
Snarky Enigma December 5, 2023 - 4:46 pm
I prefer a doctor (especially a GP) who is willing to prescribe over the phone (permitting they have physically seen me fairly recently). Also, I do have a tendency to gather information, assess the possibilities, perform a process of elimination, and then diagnose ... and 9 times out of 10, I'm correct. My primary loves it because I literally do his job for him. Other doctors' egos can't take it.
675309 December 5, 2023 - 4:58 pm
Ha! I told an arrogant cardiologist what my dad had wrong regarding his heart by name and he kind of fumbled and told me why I was wrong or tried to. (I had never done anything like that before but I did lots of searching and thought if we had a name for his weirdo problem then the next step is treatment or maybe cure!.) The next time I took him, he mentioned the name of the condition (that I told him!) and made a point to make eye contact with me for a few seconds when he said it. Not that it changed the treatment so much, since he had written him off because he was old, I think, but at least it was a diagnosis. I did end up taking him somewhere else.
Snarky Enigma December 5, 2023 - 5:31 pm
i think Cardiologists are arrogant by nature (the old "God complex" and all that). I considered dumping my Card when she pressured me to get jabbed, but then when she finally got Covid (and wasn't even symptomatic) she changed her tune (although she STILL won't admit she was wrong). Aside from that, I do like her.
sbud December 4, 2023 - 1:16 pm
I would be horrified if someone did that to my family. Kyle has crossed a big line.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 1:18 pm
If I read it right and SHE just posted all this on social media, then for once we agree!
Zap It December 4, 2023 - 10:10 am
OMG her friend died 19 months ago. Although extremely sad and even disturbing, it's just another example of Kyle using people. And now she's using her poor friend's death as a story line.
marlin December 4, 2023 - 11:30 am
I have experienced much grief in my life and would never judge anyone on whether I think they should be over it.
ScrappieONE December 4, 2023 - 12:41 pm
Exactly, someone should never, ever be judged when losing someone. In all honesty, I still grieve over losing several of my dogs over the years and there is nothing wrong with that. Just shows how much they were loved.
sbud December 4, 2023 - 1:20 pm
her friend has a family that probably doesnt want this on a reality show. Kyle is sooooooo gross
Zap It December 5, 2023 - 12:43 pm
I really am sorry for your grief. It's a terrible thing. But remember Kyle had no problems judging LVP and running her off the show. She's hoping to take advantage of those like yourself who genuinely experience grief and carry it with you for a long time.
lhanson38 December 4, 2023 - 11:56 am
My mom died 15 years ago and it still makes me sad and if I let it I can go to some real dark places at Christmas time. While I dont care foe Kyle no one has the right to judge how and when a person can feel that kind of pain.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 1:02 pm
If she is judged, it is because due to her behavior for years, it appears she is using this for sympathy as if it is something "bad that happened to HER" and to make excuses for her behavior.
Italia December 4, 2023 - 5:26 pm
Right? And she's talking about survivors guilt? Again,....... back to her.
Italia December 4, 2023 - 4:35 pm
This is not her mom! This is a friend and this brings her friend's family into it. On TV. Selfish Kyle.
SU December 4, 2023 - 5:23 pm
I hope you get through the holidays okay and smile when you think of your beloved mother.
Zap It December 5, 2023 - 12:42 pm
I hope too that the holidays are okay for you. It's so hard to lose someone you love. But I still think Kyle is exploiting this as a story line. Remember, she had zero empathy for LVP when she lost her brother to suicide.
Italia December 4, 2023 - 9:49 am
She's so full of it. She "quit drinking" because she is trying to keep up the lie that she lost weight due to cutting out alcohol. It was Ozempic obviously. Her carrying on with a super annoying, much younger singer, is disgusting. What a crappy thing to do to your kids.
SU December 4, 2023 - 12:45 pm
I have always been around 100 pounds. After cutting out alcohol, I lost 18 pounds in 3 months, so yes it can have a huge impact on health, change in attitude and social environments. Maybe you should try cutting back, it may make you less negative for once.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 1:03 pm
It sure didn't work for you based on your comments at times to strangers and about strangers, unless you were really bad before. Ha! You did walk into that one. :)
SU December 4, 2023 - 3:28 pm
Yeah and you rolled, I couldn't say walked because the amount of time you spend on the computer, I have no doubt you are overweight, unattractive and severely suffering from multiple disorders. How many times do I need to tell you to not engage with me stalker. Go away you over opinionated moron. And to quote you...HA!
Italia December 4, 2023 - 4:38 pm
Get help for your other obvious problems, but glad you're no longer an alcoholic. That's progress I guess.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 6:47 pm
Rolled? What? No sense of humor for sure. I tried. You were negative about Italia personally while telling her she is negative. It was so funny I thought maybe you were joking around like I was. Not a chance of course. What a fricking hypocrite. By the way, you stalked me on another site earlier this year and I know because you made zero comments but downvoted every one of mine. Idiot. FYI, I'll comment on your hypocritical comments every time you disparage another commenter for no reason. I have no respect for people like you. So get used to it or simply block me. (Since you like to criticize looks of strangers when you have no idea, I picture you as a skinny chain smoking old woman.)
SU December 4, 2023 - 6:55 pm
I would have downvoted you for the stupid things you say and the number of times you say them. How hard is it for you to comprehend? I am not negative, I just have a zero tolerance for f'wits. So bye bye f'wit, and let me repeat myself for the at least 100th time - don't engage with me either from this account or your Que Sera profile, whichever one you are acting as today.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 7:17 pm
Nope. It was on another site where there might be 100's of comments and 10 to 25 times more commenters than here. You pretend not to remember and maybe you don't because nasty and so petty is normal with you but it was so obvious to me. I was on this site commenting about these people and you got personally nasty. Next thing I know you tracked me down to another site and downvoted everything (which was a lot and very noticeable). Meanwhile I'll comment when I want to anytime you disparage another commenter for their opinion on these trash TV people. If you don't reply to me with nasty dumb crap or personal attacks then that ends it but you can't help yourself, apparently because you just did it two times so you want to "engage". So restrain yourself and end it.
SU December 5, 2023 - 3:31 pm
Haha...don't smoke and run 20+kms a day instead of sitting on my a$$ in front of a device making repetitive over opinionated moronic comments on multiple blogs and basically considering ones self as a know-it-all. On top of all that, then creating multiple accounts when you get banned from commenting...loser. And how many times you a$$hat do you need to be told, don't engage with me. And FYI I could careless for respect from a sad overweight moron like yourself...BYE
675309 December 5, 2023 - 4:38 pm
You just can't stop, can you.
SU December 6, 2023 - 2:09 pm
Okay porky...are you illiterate as well as unfortunate? Can you not read the many comments I have made telling you to not engage with me. Try stepping outside for once, you may actually meet real people instead of obsessing about housewives you think you actually know personally and annoying the f)ck out of me, by injecting yourself into comments you weren't welcome to partake in. Same goes for your other profiles (who knows how many you have, probably the same amount of personalities you have...there is medication you can take for that), don't engage with me you obsessed freak. BYE!!!
675309 December 6, 2023 - 2:27 pm
Bye! (Hopefully finally!)You just can't stop. "Porky" and "illiterate"...... You seem to be the freak here. You just won't shut up even though you keep saying you don't want to communicate. Instead of being normal and ignoring, you keep talking to me, four times so far. Weird. PS --And I told YOU I will comment whenever I feel like it when you disparage other commenters for no reason, like you keep doing to me now with the childish name calling based on nothing. I don't need or want to "engage" but I can comment!
SU December 6, 2023 - 3:35 pm
Okay Large One...Bye Big Girl.
675309 December 6, 2023 - 4:14 pm
Wow. You really can't stop. Pitiful.
SU December 6, 2023 - 3:37 pm
Go eat something, its been a minute, you seem unhinged an angry...like the elephants at the zoo when they don't get their regular feeds.
675309 December 6, 2023 - 4:13 pm
Just can't stop, can you...
Italia December 4, 2023 - 4:39 pm
Careful or you will send this person back on the sauce. Christmas season is hard for addicts.
Italia December 4, 2023 - 4:37 pm
I'm good. Been 118-120 since high school. You sound anorexic. Glad you got help with your alcohol problem. Again, she didn't cut alcohol. Probably just getting wasted behind the scenes with her much younger lesbian girlfriend.
675309 December 4, 2023 - 1:36 pm
She is. She is exploiting someone's death a year and a half ago who was not part of the show for her pathological need for attention and to make excuses for stuff nobody cares about. It doesn't have anything to do with her reprehensible behavior toward others recently or in the past.
Italia December 4, 2023 - 4:41 pm
ikr. I'm sure this poor "friends" family is excited to have their family members name and death brought up on a reality show many months later. Thanks Kyle!
