Kyle Richards, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, filed a lawsuit against her sister Kim Richards in an effort to remove her from a Los Angeles-area condominium that Kyle owns, according to court documents reported by TMZ.
The legal action was filed in January, with Kyle seeking to evict Kim from the property. The lawsuit highlights a significant and very public rift between the two sisters, who have had a complicated relationship documented over many seasons of the Bravo reality series.
Kim Richards, also a former cast member of RHOBH, has been living in the condo in question. The specific terms of any rental or living arrangement between the sisters were not detailed in the publicly available court filings, but the lawsuit signals a serious breakdown in their personal relationship.
The Richards sisters have long had a turbulent dynamic, with tensions playing out both on and off camera over the years. This legal dispute represents one of the most formal and public escalations of their ongoing family conflict. Neither Kyle nor Kim Richards had issued a public statement regarding the lawsuit at the time of initial reporting.
