♪♪ >>> ASK ANY DIE HARD HOUSEWIVES FAN AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT KYLE RICHARDS IS THE O.G. OF BEVERLY HILLS. TONIGHT SHE WRAPS UP THE 13th SEASON AS A REAL HOUSEWIFE. NOT EASY TO SAY. CONSTANT HEADLINES ABOUT HER PERSONAL LIFE, YOU CAN COUNT ON KYLE TO KEEP IT REAL. >> SINCE THAT ARTICLE CAME OUT, IT'S LIKE I'M SEEING, YOU KNOW, ALL, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S BECAUSE MO CHEATED OR NOW KYLE HAS CHEATED. WHAT IS THE TRUTH WITH THAT? >> THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYBODY ELSE. >> THIS IS JUST ABOUT MO AND ME. IT'S NOT ABOUT FAMILY, EXTERNAL FAMILY, ANOTHER PERSON. ON HIS SIDE OR MY SIDE, THIS IS JUST ABOUT MO AND ME. >> OKAY. KYLE, WELCOME IN. THAT WAS A VERY VULNERABLE, REAL MOMENT ABOUT LIFE. AND ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN A LONG-TERM MARRIAGE, THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THIS POINT COMES. WHAT WAS IT, WHAT DID HAPPEN, WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN? >> OH, MY GOSH. YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG QUESTION. I THINK THERE WERE CERTAIN THINGS THAT WERE THERE AND THEN WE HAD KIND OF BEEN PUTTING IT ON THE BACK BURNER FOR LONG TIME. YOU'RE PREGNANT AND YOU ARE BREASTFEEDING AND THEN IT WAS WORKING AND JUGGLING THE KIDS AND YOU KIND OF FORGET ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, RESURFACES AGAIN. AND I THINK IT JUST -- I KIND OF CAME TO A I WOULD SAY BREAKING POINT. I HAD GONE THROUGH A LOT. I LOST MY BEST FRIEND. I THINK THAT DOES CHANGE YOU AND MAKES YOU LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY. >> THAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSCORE. YOU HAD A FRIEND WHO DIED. >> YEAH, BY SUICIDE. >> BY SUICIDE. AND SOMETIMES THAT DOES MAKE YOU SAY -- YOU RE-EVALUATE YOUR WHOLE LIFE. >> YES. >> LIKE, WAIT, WHAT AM I DOING? LIKE, LIFE IS SHORT. THIS JUST HAPPENED. SO HOW DID YOU REASSESS IN THAT MOMENT? >> I THINK THAT HAD A BIG PART OF IT, DEFINITELY. BUT JUST WHAT, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT AND NOT ACCEPT. IT'S HARD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID IN THE CLIP, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE WAS ONE BIG THING, YOU KNOW, WE LOVE EACH OTHER VERY MUCH AND HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. THAT MAKES IT HARDER TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THAT. >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW? >> AND Y'ALL HAVE A LOT OF KIDS. >> A BIG FAMILY. >> YOU HAVE A BIG FAMILY. YOU HAVE 20 PLUS YEARS OF HISTORY OF SHARING -- >> 28 YEARS BEING MARRIED. >> 28. ALMOST 30. SO WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY? WHAT'S THE CURRENT STATUS. >> THE CURRENT STATUS IS WE LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF. IT FEELS SO FUNNY TO TALK ABOUT THIS. HE FEEL LIKE I'M IN A THERAPIST OFFICE. >> WE TRY. >> WE LIVE UNDER THE SAME ROOF IN DIFFERENT ROOMS. WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH, WE HAVE OTHER HOMES. HE COMES AND GOES. WHEN WE ARE ALL THERE, IT'S SORT OF LIKE IF HE IS THERE FOR DINNER, GREAT. >> SO IT'S FRIENDLY? >> IT'S FRIENDLY, IT IS. >> DO YOU FEEL LIKE -- >> WE NEVER FIGHT. >> WE HAD YOUR HUSBAND ON WHEN, I THINK IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS, AND HE WAS LOVELY THE WAY HE SPOKE ABOUT YOU. >> YOU. HE MAINLY TALKED ABOUT YOU THE ENTIRE TIME. >> YEAH. >> EVEN THOUGH WE KNEW THERE WAS SOME TURMOIL THERE. THERE IS A MUTUAL RESPECT, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE REASON THAT YOU ARE BOTH GOING TO BE OKAY. >> I THINK SO. IT'S REALLY HARD. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO SHOOT THIS SEASON BECAUSE WHEN THE CAMERAS WENT UP, WE HAD NOT EVEN SHARED THIS WITH OUR DAUGHTERS. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A JOB TO, YOU KNOW, SHARE MY LIFE AND TO BE HONEST, AND I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. AND HE WASN'T REALLY READY TO SHARE THAT. THAT WAS, LIKE, VERY CHALLENGING FOR ME TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF BALANCE THAT. THEN I THOUGHT THIS IS PRETTY APPARENT, SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THIS OUT THERE THAT THINGS ARE NOT GREAT RIGHT NOW. >> IS THERE A CHANCE THAT YOU GUYS CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS? >> I MEAN, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT MY FUTURE HOLDS RIGHT NOW, TO BE HONEST, WHICH IS THE WEIRDEST PART OF ALL OF THIS. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH STABILITY MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND TO FEEL LIKE, I DON'T REALLY KNOW -- >> FEELS WEIRD. >> WHERE MY FUTURE IS, YOU KNOW, NEXT WEEK. >> RIGHT. >> SO, AND WATCHING THIS CLIP, TOO, I MEAN, THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE THIS PUBLICLY, ESPECIALLY AS A MOTHER, AS A HUMAN, WHO HAS, YOU KNOW, AN OPEN BEAUTIFUL HEART, IT MUST BE HARD? >> IT IS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE PEOPLE, EVEN PEOPLE WHO MEAN WELL, THEY ARE LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU KNOW, GO HOME. YOU DON'T LIVE IN OUR HOME. YOU THINK I WANTED TO BE IN THIS POSITION AFTER BEING MARRIED ALL THIS TIME? I MEAN, MY DREAM WAS TO, YOU KNOW, BE MARRIED FOREVER AND GROW OLD WITH THIS PERSON. I DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THIS POSITION. TRUST ME. SO, YOU KNOW, IT IS HARD BEING OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE. >> I THINK PEOPLE WEIGHING IN AND BLURTING OUT THEIR OWN OPINIONS TO YOU, DOES THAT GET TO YOU WHEN PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THAT? >> WELL, IT'S ALSO, IT'S THEIR FANTASY, YOU KNOW. PEOPLE SAY, YOU WERE MY INSPIRATION AND I GET THAT I'M RUINING THEIR FANTASY. I EVEN HAD CLOSE FRIENDS WHO WERE UPSET ABOUT IT AT FIRST, YOU KNOW, THAT I HADN'T SHARED CERTAIN THINGS WITH. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT. THERE IS ALSO SO MANY SWEET MESSAGES AND PEOPLE SAYING I ADMIRE YOUR STRENGTH AND, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE INSPIRING TO ME. THIS IS NOT A MESSAGE EVERYONE GO OUT AND LEAVE THEIR HUSBANDS, OKAY? BUT I GET A LOT OF THAT. SO MUCH SUPPORT. >> SO, SEASON 13, DOES IT FEEL LIKE THAT'S -- YOU WANT TO KEEP COMING BACK? >> IT FEELS LIKE SEASON 300 RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, THIS IS A DECISION I MAKE, YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR AFTER. THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER, OF COURSE, I THOUGHT, DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS? I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY LIFE'S GOING TO BE. IT WAS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THE SEASON FOR SURE. AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE CAST. THAT WAS DIFFICULT. >> WHO WAS THERE FOR YOU ON THE CAST? >> THE MOST ON THE CAST, ERIKA. >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW? HONESTLY. AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE LIKE THAT AND EVERYTHING. BUT IT WAS HARD BECAUSE I AM THINKING, YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE AND, LIKE, THIS IS REALLY HARD TO PUT MYSELF OUT THERE RIGHT NOW NOT EVEN JUST THE STUFF WITH MY HUSBAND, EVERYTHING. >> YEAH. YOU NEEDED SUPPORT. >> EXACTLY. AND I KNOW THE NATURE OF THE SHOW, MY GOSH, YOU KNOW. >> AND BUT YOUR SISTERS, WE HAVE THIS GREAT PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR SISTERS. WE KNOW YOU HAVE HAD SOME UPS AND DOWNS. >> YEAH. >> BUT -- >> ALL THREE TOGETHER. >> BEEN THERE FOR YOU? >> 100% THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME SO MUCH. I'LL GET TEXT MESSAGES ALL THE TIME. OH, WE LOVE YOU, BABY SISTER. WE CARE FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE AND IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE THEM. I DO NOT NEED THAT PROBLEM IN MY LIFE, TOO. >> I GET ENOUGH. >> I GOT ENOUGH ON MY PLATE. >> KYLE, THANK YOU. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> AND JUSTIN, OUR FAVORITE AND YOUR FAVORITE -- >> I AM HAPPY TO SHARE HIM WITH YOU. >> HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH. >> HE TALKS ABOUT YOU -- >> HE IS MY FAMILY. HE IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLY -- I SAY THIS -- MY DAUGHTER -- HE IS SUCH A BRIGHT LIGHT. HE IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT AND I'M SO FORTUNATE TO -- >> DO YOU EVER GET USED TO HIS HUMOR? DO YOU LAV HYSTERICALLY. >> I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO SURPRISE ME AND BE HERE TODAY. >> AND JUSTIN! >> I KNOW HE IS GOING SURPRISE ME. I WAS LIKE, OH. >> HE TEXTED, LIKE, A PICTURE. WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT. NEXT TIME. >> NEXT TIME. >> WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. SEASON 13 FINALE OF THE REALITY
