"I would love this, but she never said this," Kyle said in response to a since-deleted online story claiming a source told the publication otherwise.
'RHOBH' Recap: Teddi Explodes on 'Full of Shit' Vanderpump, Kyle and Denise Get Hilariously Wasted
View StoryLast week, Radar Online reported (in the now-deleted post) that an insider told them the 38-year-old heiress was eager to join Kyle, Lisa Vanderpump, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp and Denise Richards on Bravo's hit series. Paris has made cameos in the past, as seen in the "RHOBH" scene above.
The publication's story also claimed "Paris wants a million bucks" for joining the cast because she "thinks she's worth every penny." This person went on to say Kyle was the one pushing for her niece to get back to her reality TV roots ("Simple Life," anyone?) and that she was looking forward to having a familiar face on the show. Kyle's sister, Kim Richards, was an OG of the series but hasn't been a full-time castmember since 2014. And for those of you who don't know the relationship: Kyle and Kim's sister is Kathy Hilton, Paris' mom.
