Kyle attempted to have her sister, Kim, evicted from her 2-bedroom Encino property, where she had been residing, according to legal documents reported by TMZ.

The “Halloween” actress said Kim had been living in the property for years; however, she asked her to leave in late 2024 following a dispute. Kyle asked for possession of the house and wanted Kim to pay $140 per day, beginning in November 2024, for each day she stayed after being asked to leave.

Kim didn’t respond to the suit, according to the legal documents, and was later required to move from the property in March 2025.

Kyle’s reported attempt to have her sister removed from her LA home occurred after TMZ reported that Kim had a dramatic and saddening interaction with LA police after acting belligerently in a Hilton hotel.

Cops reportedly asked the reality star to leave the property, and when she refused, they placed her on a 5150 psychiatric hold and took her to the hospital.

Kyle and the rest of the Richards/Hilton family had cut ties with Kim following the event, hoping their strained relationship would encourage her to change.

In March 2016, Kim spoke candidly with PEOPLE about her addiction beginning after having her “first real drink” when she was 24.

Kim explained that she found herself drinking even more following her split from her second husband in 1991. “That’s when my issue started,” she said.

Kim went on to say that living her life in the public eye only exacerbated her personal struggles.

Kyle Outed Sister Kim As An ‘Alcoholic’ On Season 1 Of ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’

Kim and Kyle have repeatedly butted heads in earlier seasons of the Bravo series. Their worst argument was in the season finale of the first season of “RHOBH,” where Kyle outed Kim for being an “alcoholic.”

The sisters later regretted the moment, according to PEOPLE, and rushed to Andy Cohen to have it scrapped from the show.

“The sisters were begging Evolution and Bravo to take the scene out of the show,” Cohen said. “It didn’t happen.”

Former NBCUniversal Executive Vice President Shari Levine commented on the dramatic scene as well, adding that it’s one of the realities of shooting an unscripted show.

“The series really does capture life as it happens. And everyone has moments that they want to keep off the air. The great equalizer for all the franchises is that it’s all out there. If it’s shot, we will edit it in,” Levine said.

While the scene has been etched into the Housewives’ history book, Kyle previously revealed she wished it had never happened.

“I would say Season 1, the limo scene,” she said on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live.” “That’s a no-brainer for me.”

That’s not all. Kyle also recalled the explosive dinner scene Kim had with former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” titan Lisa Rinna in Amsterdam.

“There’s been many since then. Like even Amsterdam, you know, running out when Rinna broke the glass and all that,” Kyle said.

Despite the drama, Kim and Kyle are back together and doing “good” as of November 2025.

Kyle opened up about where they stand today during BravoCon 2025, according to The Daily Dish, and said the former reality star has been thriving since relocating from California to Florida.

“She has the most beautiful grandchildren I’ve ever seen; they’re unbelievable, and I’m really close with them, and I love them so much,” Kyle said. “I just went to Kim’s granddaughter’s little Halloween thing at school, and it was so fun to go and see, and have that relationship with them is nice.”
