Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are anxious for the season 6 premiere on Bravo tonight and some of the ladies have done a bit of advance promo this week. Kyle Richards stopped in for a chat with housewives producer, Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show and naturally the conversation eventually turned towards her relationship with sister, Kim Richards, who has had a very messy year.

After insisting that she was clean and sober  for months on end, Kim had two very high profile arrests and then at least one trip to rehab and that's just in the last 6 months. Her relationship with Kyle is usually strained at best with hostility usually rearing its ugly head. Kyle told Cohen that her sister is doing better but that their relationship will likely always be strained.

"She’s good right now. She’s happy, she’s good, she’s sober. It’s very difficult. Like I was just saying with Andy, we’ll be OK, and then the show reruns, and we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and it kind of brings things up again, honestly. It’s not just that, but we have a very difficult relationship, and we probably will always be a work in progress, always. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s ever going to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s just like when we were little now, woo-hoo! Let’s go have ice cream together.’ I hope, but it’s probably not.”

It seemed like Kyle spent years either covering for her sister or else tip toeing around her. Do you think that those days are finally over? While Kim was supposedly fired from RHOBH she is also rumored to have taped some scenes. Do you think she'll turn up on camera in season 6?
