For 13 drama-filled years, Kyle Richards has been a voice of reason onThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Safe to say, there were plenty of fights and tears.
You know when they do a split screen with your sister, its not good, Richards tells Bustle.
The two most difficult reunions were Season 5 with my sister Kim and Season 12 with my sister Kathy.
They were really emotional.
Below, she talks hot mic moments, her beauty secrets, and theHousewivessong she listens to the most.
Youve always had the best hair on TV.
How have you kept it so long and luscious?
I always make my hair care a priority, like my skin.
Thats why I was excited to partner withNexxus because I had to work on reversing damage.
Because there was always such a focus on my hair, I panicked.
What am I going to do?
What other hair care products do you use besides shampoo and conditioner?
As far as skin, what are your thoughts on injectables?
Well,Botoxis great.
When I first started the show, no one talked about it like [they do now].
I remember my husband didnt even know I had done Botox.
He was like, What?
It was a whole big drama.
Im not a fan of filler in the face.
I have a very square jaw and a fuller face, so I dont feel like I need it.
For some people, its probably great.
I just think people get really carried away with it.
What was something that surprised you early on about filming the show?
That happened to us in Season 1 on the Dinner Party From Hell.
It was new for me.
What do you think was the most staged storyline?
I can only think of one, and that was thedog story with Lucy whatever it was.
WhichHousewivessong do you listen to the most?
Oh, Its Expensive to Be Me, by Erika.
Her music is fun.
Every time it comes on, I cant help but sing along to it.
What do you remember about your Bravo casting tape?
It was so embarrassing.
I sound like the biggest nerd ever.
My executive producer, who Im good friends with, loves to make fun [of it].
They asked, What is something that would surprise us about you?
and I said, I read the newspaper from front to back every day.
When I hear that, Im so embarrassed.
Whats your favorite part about filming?
I like when we do the girls trips.
[Every time] Im very naive, thinking, Maybe this time were just going to have fun.
Thats fun for me.
So, what was your favorite trip?
It was just a disastrous trip.
I think everybody quit that night.
The producers were freaking out we were like, Were all done now.
