The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards is speaking out about the explosive on camera fight she had with older sister Kim in Thursday's finale.
In a statement, she says, "The events that transpired that evening were quite unfortunate and should never have occurred on or off camera. There are a lot of elements to the story that viewers didn’t see," says the star who accused her sister Kim of being an alcoholic (Kim was later checked into rehab by her family, but checked herself out after only one week.) "This has been difficult for our entire family as we both said and did things that we regret," she continues. "My sister and I love each other very much we want to move forward and put this behind us."
She goes on to write in her blog, "That night never should have happened. It was incredibly difficult to go through in the first place and it's even more difficult to watch and relive it."
Kyle, who not only fought with her sister throughout the entire season, but also with Camille Grammer, goes on to say that she recognizes that her brawls made her come off looking bad.
"Throughout the season I have come across as angry toward my sister. At times, it seemed unwarranted. I know that. I know how bad it looked. The truth is, I was angry," she explains. "There is so much more to it than that. I didn't want to come out and say what it was that was really bothering me because this is a private family matter. It would have saved me a lot of criticism, believe me, but it's not just my story to tell. It's Kim's story too."
Kim goes on to say that the fight left her with "panic attacks" and they didn't speak for a long time. "Next to losing my mother, this was the most difficult time of my life," she says.
The sisters were reunited for a reunion episode which will air next week and promises to be just as juicy and dramatic as the series itself!
