Really? I'm disgusted by Brandi, not Kyle. If anything, I feel bad for Kyle for what she is dealing with with her sister, and then the evil troll Brandi on top of it. I used to like Brandi but I feel like she is having a mental break- throwing wine on Eileen, and now getting so physical with Kyle. Its honestly concerning

Kyle grabbed Brandi first. I watched it after reading about it here and was surprised at all the Brandi hate. I don't blame Brandi for stepping in if what she says is true (that Kyle only cares about her sister when the cameras roll) which I can easily believe.

No. Brandi put her arm, shushing Kyle back, to block Kyle from getting near Kim. I don't like Kyle, but it is obvious you don't know anyone with a drug problem. You should feel very fortunate in not having to endure that burden.

^Agreed. Also, the Richards sisters have different ways of relating than Brandi does. Just because Brandi doesnt have a close relationship with her sisters, doesnt mean Kim and Kyle have to be distant. From what we've seen over the course of the show, both of them ALWAYS have each other's back.

If Kyle was "acting" just to try to make Kim look bad, then- well, she must be a damn good actress. She looked so distressed that my heart broke for her. And even when Lisa tried to bring up the drinking Kyle would not go there.

I dealt with an alcoholic father and I can tell you that the last thing an alcoholic wants to do is admit that they have a drinking problem. They will fight tooth and nail. Thats what I saw with Brandi, as well as Kim.

It was sick to me to watch because I think Brandi was just trying to stir up trouble, and using Kim by whatever means necessary. Proof of that is when she declared she was the best actress there and insisted on giving that long and bizarre speech announcing it- she was just hoping someone would say something and she eventually got it, because it was a rough night for Kim/Kyle.

Blocking Kyle from speaking to Kim? Ludicrous. If anything, Kim needed to hear from someone who cared for her who would hold her responsible for her fall from sobriety. Not be enabled and told that there was nothing wrong with popping a pill.

Brandi disgusts me now. I used to like her, but no more. It will be interesting to see what happens now that nearly everyone other than Kim and Yolanda see her as a total piece of shit.

Would you want your drug dependent sister hanging out with another drug dependent who happened to be loaded that night. Just asking.

I initially loved Brandi - I even bought and read her first book (yes, I do know how pathetic that sounds) BUT I hated her last season.

However, she is somewhat normal and actually, smarter than I thought, on CA. She sticks up for herself and actually has good ideas. She is, dare I say, likeable on CA.

Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else thought the same thing.

Totally agree! Without alcohol, she's very likable on celebrity apprentice. Especially now that Kenya is looking like the pot stirrer, Brandi comes off quite normal and (I can't believe I'm about to use this word in the same sentence as Brandi...), respectable.

I felt bad when Eileen confronted her at the jewelry party. I felt some sympathy for Brandi always being reprimanded and scolded for being "bad" and I think it has a self-fulfilling prophesy effect. Yes, she's outrageous and a drunk, but did she really need to be scolded days later for a poorly made joke about Eileen's interior?

I was actually incredibly impressed that Eileen had the chutzpah to be so honest and upfront with Brandi. People really need to start putting her in her place and not taking any more of her shit. She's gotten away with it for so long, that she feels entitled to hurt people whenever it's convenient for her and then blow it off as her just "being herself". I think it's high time she learns how to behave in the real world and that there will be consequences for her bad behavior. She's a grown woman, not a teenager.

Yeah. I am waiting for Brandi to turn on Yolanda. She almost went there last night. Brandi is never called on her crap and they coddle her. Good for Eileen and good for Lisa V. for saying she will never trust her again. Remember she treated Brandi like a daughter and Brandi said she was going to take Lisa V. down. She tried and failed.

There is way too much crazy on this thread.

Anonymous wrote:I can't help but wonder if anyone hating on Kyle has a sister and, in particular, a sister with an alcohol problem. I have experience with both. Kyle's behavior seems like the behavior of a sober sibling who has been dealing with her sister's alcoholism for years. Kyle looked like she was panicking to me. She whispered very softly to Kim in the bathroom and, remember, Kim followed her. Kyle was trying to be protective. Things seemed fine then suddenly Kim is leaving but not before she makes a sarcastic "Thanks, Kyle" jab at Kyle. I see why Kyle was confused and wanted to see why Kim was suddenly pissed at her. I have had my sister that gets nasty when she drinks do that to me. One minute she's nice then suddenly she's nasty as can be. Those of you who are picking on Kyle and siding with Brandy, I would love to know how you would deal with your sibling getting drunk and calling you at 2 am. I have gotten that phone call on more than one occasion. Or, go to a party where your sibling is clearly on something and acting inappropriately. If you think you wouldn't feel embarrassed for your sister and yourself, you are crazy. You also feel protective and desperately want to make sure they'll be okay but you are also pissed that they did this again. What I saw from Kyle was panic--a panic I know well. Brandy was throwing gas on a fire and she needs rehab badly.

Brandy is full of sh** when she says she has Kim's back. She enables Kim and Kim enables her. I have two sisters with drinking problems--they cover for one another and enable each other's drinking. If you surround yourself with other active alcoholics you can convince yourself your not that bad. I would be genuinely surprised if they had not been drunk around their children at times. Not because I think they are horrible mothers but that is what the disease of alcoholism does. It hijacks your brain and you make stupid decisions, lie to yourself, and lie to others.

Brandy clearly has a drinking problem. I think she likes hanging out with Kim because she can feel like--well, at least I'm not that bad. It is Brandy who brought up the 2 am phone call, not Kyle. Brandy who wanted to put a spotlight on Kim's apparent fall from sobriety--not Kyle.

Lisa R. said that she her husband watched his 2 brothers die of alcoholism within six months of each other. I think that is why she spoke up about the fact that there was "addiction going on here and no one wants to talk about it." I appreciate that she is willing to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

As for Eileen telling Brandy that she didn't appreciate her comments, good for Eileen. The only way people like Brandy change is when people stop putting up with their sh**. I know hang up on my drunk dialer of a sister. She is not allowed to get drunk around me or my kids. If we are having a conversation and she gets nasty, I walk away. Our relationship has improved and she is finally getting help. She has even asked me to help her find help. Putting up with bad behavior from adults is no different than letting kids behave badly with no consequence. It rewards the bad behavior. Brandy should stop being defensive and grow up. She still acts like a rebellious, spoiled, adolescent.

EXACTLY. Thank you, PP - you are spot on.

I agree and this makes me mad. I don't like Kyle and Brandi's action(s)is making me defend Kyle. I think people who excuse Brandi and Kim's behavior have never dealt with a loved one who is an addict. Kyle is exhausted with the repeated cycle. I truly understood both her embarrassment for Kim and herself. And then the protective mode which kicked in later. Brandi is vile. I think she likes that Kim has become co-dependent on her. It makes Brandi feel wanted.

I also noticed that when Kim and Kyle were in the bathroom together, Kyle was trying to speak only in a whisper so the microphones wouldn't pick up their conversation. It was clear she did NOT want the cameras to record any decline in Kim's behavior or sobriety. I really felt for her - she could see during the poker game that Kim was not herself at all, and in fact, was acting very obnoxious. Right along with Brandi, by the way, who was most definitely egging her (Kim) on. I agree that Brandi is disgusting in encouraging Kim's co-dependency. She likes the idea that she has a little buddy who is clearly vulnerable and needs help. And Brandi is absolutely not the one who Kim should be leaning on.

Check out this extended scene from the infamous poker night. Brandi is utterly despicable. I really feel for Kyle and think Kim should have done more to stand up for her to Brandi.

That doesn't have anything to do with it. You're letting your personal history overpower everything else. I wasn't asking why Kyle didn't want Kim around Brandi. I was asking why, in that particular moment, Kyle was forcing Kim to talk to her and making a big scene.

NP. No, I think you are letting your hatred/bias for Kyle to overcome a rational consideration of this situation.

No, because I don't hate Kyle. I find her annoying and vapid. I don't believe the caring sister act. But I don't hate her. I never said Brandi was the picture of innocence in all this, but I don't think Kyle is little miss perfect by a long shot.

I don't have a personal history, but I noticed you did not answer the question. The question asked, but not answered was, " would up you want your drug dependent sister hanging out with another drug dependent". If you can answer no, then you might be capable of empathy and understanding why Kyle did not want Kim leaving with a drunk that now when Kim herself was flying high on someone else's pain meds. If you answer yes, well, . . .

Also, if you watched closely, when Kim and Kyle exited the bathroom together everything was okay. However, after Brandi cornered Kim in the kitchen and began talking to her, Kim was suddenly in a hurry to leave the party. As she walked past Kyle, Kim said "thanks Kyle" in a an accusatory tone. Kyle was puzzled and wanted to know what had changed from the time they left the bathroom to that point. If it was my sister, I too would at least try to find out what the hell just happened, alcohol dependent or not. But that's just me, well, and apparently Kyle Richards too. It was just weird.

Totally agree.

It's impossible to know if what you saw actually followed the true sequence of events. They edit the heck out of these shows and trust me, they want to make it look as controversial as possible.
