Kathy Hilton explains why she called her sister Kyle Richards ‘cruel and disgusting’

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.”
