Lisa Vanderpumpis speaking out about the explosive fight she had withReal Housewives of Beverly HillscostarKyle Richards, admitting she is “not proud” of how she behaved during their on-screen battle.
The SUR restauranteur and her friend of 12 years had an epic fallout on Tuesday’s episode: Vanderpump kicked Richards out of her Villa Rosa mansion and declared that their friendship was over.
“We’re done,” Vanderpump, 58, said in the episode. “Get the f— out of my house. I swear to you, I’m done with this!”
Vanderpump was angry that Richards had accused her of leaking stories to the press in order to make their costarDorit Kemsleylook bad over the #PuppyGate scandal. But looking back at things while the episode aired on Tuesday, Vanderpump felt different.
“I was probably still overly emotional, was the day before my birthday and life was challenging,” she tweeted. “Not proud of yelling.”

Also in her tweet, Vanderpump thanked her husband, Ken Todd, for his support in the scene.
Todd, 61, had yelled at Richards during the disagreement, too. “You’re not her friend,” he repeated to Richards. “You’re supposed to be her friend. You cannot be her friend when you say something like that. She would never say that about you. You’re a f—ing liar and you’re not my friend or her friend. So you get out. Please go. Please go. Join the gang … ganging up on her. … Twelve years of friendship, done!”
Richards, for her part, had tried to stress that she was there to be a friend to Vanderpump, telling her, “I’m here as your friend. … I’m just telling you how it’s looked. That doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” Still, a hurt Vanderpump declared, “I don’t care whether you love me or not.”
“You came here to tell me I am a liar. And I don’t appreciate that,” Vanderpump shouted. “If you came around and said to me, ‘I’m telling you on [your daughters] life, that is not the truth and I know nothing about this story,’ you know what sweetie? I’d believe you. So we’re done.”

It was a heartbreaking scene to watch for fans of both stars. And it was the last time they’ve spoken to each other.
Back in February, Richards said onWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenthat since filming that scene, any attempts to contact Vanderpump have gone unanswered. “I’ve sent a text and an email,” she said. “I don’t know if I’m blocked or supposedly blocked, but that’s the last time we spoke.”
However, she remained hopeful the two could find their way back to one another one day.
“I really hope so [that we can speak again someday] because I care about Lisa and we’ve been friends for a long time and we’ve been doing this for a long time,” Richards said during an appearance onLIVE with Kelly and Ryanin February. “You can always get back. Look atCamille Grammer:We did not get along in the beginning, now we’re great, so I hope so. I honestly hope so. But, right now, it doesn’t seem like that.”
She previously told PEOPLE that she almost left the reality show after thedeath of her brother, Mark Vanderpump, last April. “I did talk to Bravo… and said it would probably be for the best for me if I didn’t come back toHousewivesthis year,” the reality star said. “I just had such a hard time in my personal life I probably wasn’t strong enough to do the show.”
