Kyle Richards is making it very clear that the new season of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip” is not going to be calm, peaceful, or remotely relaxing.
While filming is currently underway, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star hinted that things have already gotten intense — and the women aren’t even deep into the trip yet. During an appearance on Amazon Live earlier this week, Kyle admitted that the drama level is already high.
“I had an ’80s-themed event last night … Oh my gosh, it was um, a lot. A lot. That’s all I’m gonna tell you. And right out of the gate, this is a lot going on over here,” Kyle shared.
And if anyone thought she was exaggerating for effect, she doubled down with a little panic.
“I don’t know how I’m gonna get through these next two weeks,” she added.

According to Kyle, part of what makes this particular “Ultimate Girls Trip” messy is that the cast is made up of powerhouse women from different franchises. She explained that the overall vibe has felt unusual compared to the drama she’s used to seeing within one group.
“It’s just so funny, I mean, when like, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say. I know I’m really not supposed to say, but when there’s weird dynamics with the other franchises mixing, I’m like … And yeah, I’m just so used to seeing, you know, like, stuff within the groups,” she teased. “But [it’s] interesting, I will say.”
Kyle is filming alongside “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams, “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Vicki Gunvalson, “Real Housewives of Potomac” favorite Gizelle Bryant, “Real Housewives of New York City” legend Luann de Lesseps, “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice, and “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast member Lisa Barlow.
Porsha Williams Appears to Send a Message During Filming
Around the same time Kyle was hinting at behind-the-scenes tension, Porsha posted what looked like a warning on Instagram — and it immediately got fans talking.
“Before you f*ck with me, remember you call people to handle things. People call me to handle things. We are not the same,” the message read.
Porsha added her own caption for extra impact: “Don’t make me call Porshaaaaaa.”
The timing of the post had Bravo fans assuming something went down, or that something is about to.
The upcoming season is expected to celebrate 20 years of the “Real Housewives” universe, with the cast traveling to multiple well-known Housewives cities and crossing paths with familiar faces along the way.
“We are celebrating 20 years of housewives with seven iconic women visiting legendary housewives cities and meeting up with dozens of familiar Bravo faces along the way,” an announcement teased.







Not shocking. Kyle is the queen bee and feels in control of her group. She’s now on a level playing field of personalities and egos.
