Kathy Hilton is clarifying comments she made calling her sister, Kyle Richards, “cruel” and “disgusting.”
“I’m the one for ten months that has been bullied and persecuted,” Richards told Fox News Digital at the 36th Carousel of Hope Ball in Los Angeles, held at The Beverly Hilton. “And I said, ‘That is cruel and disgusting.'”
Hilton’s statement comes on the heels of an explosive “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion special, which led to ongoing drama between the two sisters.
When asked about their relationship today, Hilton responded: “Look, she’s my sister, I love and I adore her, and I just wanted a little back-up. That’s all. And finally she did.”
A rep for Richards did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Hilton opened up to Fox News Digital at the Saturday evening gala, which raised over $1.7 million for the Children’s Diabetes Foundation and the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, and featured performances by John Legend and Andy Grammer.
Actress Diane Keaton was honored with the “Brass Ring Award” at the event, which brought together leaders from the film, music and television industries.
