The final reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) was pretty intense. With Kathy Hilton’s arrival, the episode brought in a lot of drama.
One of the highlights of RHOBH Season 12 was Kathy’s infamous meltdown in Aspen, which was witnessed by the group but was not caught on camera. The incident happened on the last day of the cast’s Aspen trip when they went to a club.
In the latest reunion episode, Kathy explained that she was angry because the DJ was not listening to her song request. Erika then revealed that Kathy had used a “homophobic slur” to refer to the DJ. When host Andy Cohen asked whether the other cast members heard Kathy make any derogatory remarks, Erika jumped in stating that the socialite only told her.
Erika’s claims made fans suspicious as many of them felt that she was the one who leaked details of the Aspen incident to the press.
Here’s what RHOBH fans have to say about Erika’s accusations
In RHOBH Season 12 reunion part 3, Erika Jayne accused Kathy Hilton of using a “homophobic slur” before her meltdown in Aspen. The accusation shocked Kathy.
Other cast members also denied hearing any such remarks from the socialite.
RHOBH fans claimed that Erika was lying and speculated that she was the one who had leaked the Aspen incident to the press.
Fans felt this way because several reports of Kathy using such slurs were making the rounds during the filming of the cast’s Aspen trip. At the time, no-one knew how the press got to know the details as the incident was not filmed.
But in the latest reunion episode, when Erika mentioned that Kathy made those comments only to her and nobody else, many viewers wondered if she was the one behind the press leak.
Take a look at what some fans said:
In the RHOBH reunion episode, Kathy revealed why she wanted to leave the club. She told Andy:
“[That night] I wanted everybody to have fun, I go over to the DJ, he’s got headphones, he’s looking down. He doesn’t see me, so I get frustrated. I go back into the room and there’s a manager. So I said [to him] that if ‘I gave you, can you put on some songs for us, our friends and I, to dance.’ And he said, ‘no, no too busy in here, not tonight, not tonight.’ "
She continued:
"I said, ‘really! I am not a member, but for 30 years that I have come here on and off, they have taken requests, as they do in the South of France, for London and Paris,’ and I think that annoyed him. So he looked at me and he said, ‘where you from?’ And I said ‘LA,’ and he said, ‘then go back there.’ So I go ‘we are out of here.’”
Kathy then went to sister Kyle Richards and asked her to leave the club with her. Kyle refused to go home with Kathy, and thus, Lisa Rinna volunteered to take the latter home. Kathy, who was already frustrated due to the DJ-manager situation, got more worked up after Kyle denied her request. Her anger led to her eventual meltdown, creating a lot of drama among the cast.
Erika Jayne justifies the slur incident on Instagram
As no-one else witnessed Kathy’s slur moment, the cast members as well as RHOBH fans were skeptical about believing Erika’s accusation.
In an Instagram story referring to the same incident, Erika wrote:
“I was there. It happened. What the ‘audience’ chooses to believe is beyond my control. I will never back down from the truth of what happened that night at the club in Aspen. Erika x.”
In the latest reunion episode, Kathy denied the accusations made by Erika. Kathy mentioned that she could never speak like someone Erika was trying to portray to the media. In response, Erika stated that she was not a liar and had never lied about anything, leaving Kathy in shock.
In the finale episode, Kyle revealed that it was Erika's publicist who leaked the Aspen incident to the press. In response, Erika mentioned that she was unaware of such a thing.
Season 12 of RHOBH ended with its final reunion episode on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, on Bravo.
