Kathy Hilton got emotional as she recounted how she and Kyle Richards managed to reconcile after their explosive argument on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
After not speaking to each other for months following their series’ tense reunion and Hilton’s meltdown during a season 12 cast trip to Aspen last year, the socialite, 64, revealed to Page Six how they mended their relationship ahead of their niece Whitney Davis’ wedding in June.
While the sisters were both getting ready for Davis’ big day on June 24, they fatefully ran into each other at a ‘very quiet’ salon in Aspen.
Upon seeing her older sibling walk in, Hilton said Richards let out a joyful shriek and excitedly informed the woman washing her hair that her sister had just arrived.

‘She goes, ‘Oh, there’s my sister!’ Hilton remembering. ‘And I was literally like … it made me feel so good… I hadn’t seen her yet. But she was so excited telling the person, so it made me feel good.’
Upon recalling the moment they buried the hatchet, the mother-of-four got teary-eyed and choked up.
The revelation was made at DIRECTV Celebrates Christmas at Kathy’s party at her $55M Bel-Air mansion on Tuesday.
Kathy and Kyle stopped speaking after Hilton allegedly told former costar, Lisa Rinna, that she would ‘f***ing ruin Kyle’ during an off-camera meltdown in February 2022.
During a cast trip to Aspen, Hilton got angry at fellow castmate Lisa Rinna when she ordered Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila instead of her own Casa Del Sol brand.
Hilton’s agitation only seemed to get worse after the group decided to go to a different club later that night, for which Rinna alleged sent the Paris In Love alum into an ‘absolute meltdown’ away from the cameras, where she griped about her ups and downs with Richards.
But the former I Want To Be A Hilton star has since disputed the claims.
By the time the cast returned home to Southern California, Hilton made an attempt to apologize to Rinna as the cameras were rolling. But, in the end, nothing was resolved and they left the reunion, which was broadcast in October 2022, still at odds.

By July, the ladies have mended their differences and even participated in a karaoke night to sing Sister Sledge’s classic hit We Are Family together.
While Richards has starred in all 13 seasons of RHOBH, which premiered back in 2010, Hilton recently left the show after serving as a guest star for six of the first 10 seasons.
She most appeared as a ‘friend’ of the cast for seasons 11 and 12.
Their sister Kim, who left RHOBH after the show’s fifth season in 2015, and Kyle have also had a contentious relationship over the years, but they’re on friendly terms as well, now.
