'RHOBH' star Kyle Richards turns to Lisa Rinna and Morgan Wade for support amid Dorit Kemsley fallout
The drama between Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley on the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' just took a new twist! On Tuesday, December 10, Kyle was spotted out with her best friend, Lisa Rinna, and country singer Morgan Wade. The trio appeared to be enjoying a cheerful breakfast together, joined by Lisa’s husband, Harry Hamlin. While the sighting sparked romance rumors between Morgan and Kyle, the timing of their hangout is what’s catching attention.
This outing comes amid the ongoing tension between Kyle and Dorit, who have been clashing on the show. The two former best friends are now caught in heated arguments, and it seems Kyle may have been seeking support during these challenging times. With 'RHOBH' Season 14 showcasing Kyle being cornered by Dorit's fiery remarks, the timing of the meetup could signal that Kyle is leaning on her friends. It might even suggest that Kyle wants Lisa back on the show to help navigate these turbulent waters. While the purpose of the gathering remains unclear, fans will likely see the full story unfold soon.

The actress shared with USA Today that her mother appeared to her in a dream, asking her to follow her happiness and pursue her dreams.
Lisa recalled her mother advising her that it was time to leave the drama of 'RHOBH' behind. Additionally, Lisa pointed out that the onscreen drama and the show’s editing style contributed to her choice to step away.
