How Does the ‘RHOBH’ Premiere Handle Kyle Richards’ Marriage Drama?

No Real Housewives are in greater need of some superficial healing than the cast of Beverly Hills right now. Last season, which feels like it aired a lifetime ago, was maybe the most toxic season I’ve ever witnessed from these routinely low-down women.

Lisa Rinna facilitated another schism between Kyle Richards and her sister, Kathy Hilton. Hilton may have called a DJ in Colorado a gay slur. Erika Jayne cursed at a literal child and doubled-down on being the victim in her ex-husband’s embezzlement case. And Diana Jenkins spent her one-season flop stint terrorizing Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke (and the rest of the audience with her lip-licking). That’s not to mention the racist bot attacks against Garcelle’s’s teenage son, Jax, that sprung from her conflict with Diana.

Given all of that, Season 12 may have been the most unpleasant season to consume in RHOBH history—and this show has covered a lot of dark and boring territory. Presumably, Season 13 is arriving in the fall instead of its usual premiere date in the spring to make us all forget. But these women still need to recalibrate from last season’s yuckiness. Apparently, exorcising Rinna’s menacing spirit from the group isn’t enough. They have to go on a spiritual retreat in the mountains with a indigenous healer named Eaglewoman.
