Erika Jayne Denies Rumors She’s ‘Afraid’ of Kyle Richards 

Erika Jayne might be defending Kyle Richards, but she’s certainly not afraid of her. 

Following “textgate,” Dorit Kemsley questioned Erika’s loyalty to her over the reigning queen, Kyle Richards. 

If you’re not caught up on the current Real Housewives of Beverly Hills drama, here’s a sparknotes version: 

Dorit and Kyle’s friendship has hit a bump in the road. Their feud amplified when Kyle revealed she and PK text. Kyle assured her casemates that she and PK have a surface level friendship — sending each other jokes and memes. 

However, Kyle kept it coy and didn’t fully reveal the extent of her and Dorit’s estranged husband’s text convos.

While on the Housewives Nightcap podcast, host Emily Orozco asked the Pretty Mess how she’s dealing with being stuck between a rock (Kyle) and a hard place (Dorit.) 

 “I’m just trying to be a good friend to both,” Erika said. 

That’s Not Ice, That’s Indifference

“There’s only one thing I’m afraid of and it ain’t over there,” the Beverly Hills star joked. 

Dorit felt that Erika continuing to defend Kyle’s texting relationship with her husband is indefensible. 

“I do what I feel is right. If someone doesn’t like it, let them feel that way.” 

Erika teased that we’ll see her take on the infamous text play out. 

Though, she doesn’t like the other women in the group “filling in the blanks” for hidden subtext in Kyle’s text to PK. 

“For me, when a couple separates, I think it’s best hands off. And you got to go with the girl.” 

Do you think Erika is scared of Kyle?
