Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp has shared what she purports is “the actual truth” behind Kyle Richards suing her sister Kim Richards.
As Reality Blurb previously reported, Kyle sued Kim in attempt to get her evicted from one of her properties.
“The actual truth is, yes, they did say, ‘You need to get help if you want us to keep paying for you,” Teddi said on the April 15 episode of her Two Ts in a Pod podcast.
“It’s a house that she bought for Kim,” she continued. “I think Kyle supports Kim financially.”
While Teddi insisted Kyle “has a good heart” and always ends up “saying yes” in an attempt to help Kim, she explained this was “from a really long time ago.”
“It’s not even where she lives now. It’s not even the same location. … Kim is no longer in that house,” she elaborated.
As fans of RHOBH from season 1 are aware, Kim has long struggled with substance abuse issues.
On the episode of the podcast, Teddi also offered an update on Kim’s health.
“I think Kim, since then, has gotten better,” she stated. “I mean, Kim is still well taken care of. Like, come on.”
According to a report earlier this month, Kyle filed legal proceedings against Kim in 2025 to have her evicted from her home.
TMZ detailed court documents explaining that Kyle sued Kim to get her to vacate a condo in the Los Angeles area that Kyle owns.
The lawsuit was filed against Kim in January 2025 and sought to force her to leave the 2-bedroom, 3-bath, 1,633-square-foot property Kyle owns, which is located in Encino, Calif.
In the filing, Kyle alleged that Kim had been living there for years and was asked to leave in the latter part of 2024. In the lawsuit, Kyle sought possession of her condo and damages of $140 per day for each day Kim stayed past the time Kyle asked her to leave.
Rather than respond to the lawsuit, Kim ignored it, which led to a judge making a default judgment against Kim in March 2025, requiring her to give up possession of Kyle’s condo.
There were more court documents from June 2025 that stated the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office attempted to serve Kim with the default judgment; however, she’d departed from the property, so Kyle regained possession of it.
The filing against Kim came a few months after TMZ revealed she was placed on a psychiatric hold in September 2024 and had drama regarding a property Kyle owned afterward.
At the time, law enforcement insiders shared that they had gone to a home Kyle owned in the Los Angeles area after a neighbor called police in an attempt to get Kim removed from the home. The neighbors were allegedly worried about Kim’s behavior in the past.
The report said Kyle had let Kim reside at the house, but Kim had supposedly moved out and then showed up again. Kyle explained to law enforcement she did not want Kim in the house, as the family had cut off contact with Kim in an attempt to hopefully wake her up to the fact that she had issues and needed to get sober. Cops informed Kyle that she would have to file an eviction action, as this was a civil matter, and Kim remained in the house.
TMZ also detailed that Kim had been at a Hilton hotel in the Los Angeles area earlier that same month and was reportedly out of sorts. Kyle was present at the property as well, and police ended up being called and asking Kim to leave. After Kim refused to leave, they ended up taking her in an ambulance to a hospital and putting her on the aforementioned psychiatric hold.
