Lisa and Ken lose their minds when Kyle suggests they "care more about their image than their friendships."
Tuesday's episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" captured the explosive moment Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd's friendship fell apart. And yes, it has to do with PuppyGate.
It all started after Dorit Kemsley saw a Radar Online article she felt LVP planted to make her look bad. Dorit brought it up to Teddi Mellencamp, Erika Girardi and Lisa Rinna, who all felt similarly. Denise Richards was there, too, but she still hasn't quite formed an opinion on the whole PuppyGate saga.

They cornered Kyle, Lisa's longtime friend/apologist, and asked if she's ever known Lisa to leak stories to the press. Kyle was palpably uncomfortable.
"Here's the thing," she eventually said. "Do I ever have proof or know anybody that has a connection that can dig and find out? No, so I don't know. Have I thought? Absolutely."
She later added, "I can't sit here and tell this group of women, 'I don't believe Lisa would ever do that,' when she's been accused of this in the past. I wish I could say I didn't believe it. I wish I could say, 'This is not true,' but I can't."
Still uncomfortable, Kyle went over to Villa Rosa to talk to Lisa. She admitted she had gone to lunch with the girls and that the Radar Online story came up. "If you read the article, it sounds like it comes from your camp," Kyle said.
Lisa said she "didn't even read it properly," then quickly pivoted to the TMZ article, where she's seen on camera denying any feud.

Ken was now in the room and told Kyle that's what she should've done. "But I don't feel that, Ken!" Kyle fired back.
Lisa asked Kyle if she thought she was capable of giving a story to Radar Online and then going to TMZ to refute the Radar Online story, essentially clearing her name.
"That's what everybody thinks, yes," Kyle replied. "It seems as if you wanted to get ahead of it so that people believe you instead of Dorit in this whole argument."
Lisa repeated her question to Kyle about whether she thought she was capable of doing such things. "Yes," Kyle said. "It's so blatant." That's when all hell broke loose.

View StoryKyle kept saying she was simply there to deliver the general consensus of the girls, but Lisa and Ken were beside themselves.
"You're not her friend! You are not her friend!" Ken shouted, as Lisa yelled, "I am not going to say, 'Yes, I did something,' if I didn't do it! I'm a woman with integrity that stands up for what's right! I could've thrown her under the bus. No, I'm done. I'm done with you, too. Kyle, I'm done. Kyle, I swear on my children's lives, on Giggy's life, I or nobody I know would give a story to Radar about Dorit. You think I did that, so I'm done with you, too."
"Maybe you care more about your image than your friendships," Kyle interrupted. Lisa lost it. She stormed out of the room and told Kyle to show herself out.
In swooped Ken with the iPad. "Do you honestly think TMZ would print this...and...have you watched her? That's so f--king genuine! And you are supposed to be her f--king friend. You're not her friend! You cannot be her f--king friend when you say something like that. She would never say something like that about you. You're a f--king liar! You're not my friend or her friend, so you get out. Please go. Please go! Go join the gang."

View StoryKen tried to show Kyle the door, but she insisted on staying to talk (scream) things out. Lisa eventually came back downstairs to tap out Ken, but he was livid and on a mission. "Twelve years of friendship -- DONE!" he shouted.
"You came here to tell me I am a liar, and I don't appreciate that," LVP added. "You know what? We're done."
As Kyle made her way out of Villa Rosa, Lisa and Ken stormed upstairs.
"Get the f--k out of my house! I swear to you, I'm done with it!" Lisa shouted. "They're lying bitches. They can go f--k themselves -- all of them! For Kyle to say that to me? I'm DONE WITH IT!"
