Speaking to Access Hollywood in early December 2024, LVP said Kyle was a "terrible friend" to her in response to the latter's Season 14 feud with Dorit. "It always kind of goes full circle, doesn't it?" she said of how their friendship triangle has unfolded. The Vanderpump Villa star added that Kyle would have to apologize for them to be OK again.

"It needs to start with an apology to ever reconcile because you can't ever pick up a friendship when somebody's calling you a liar," LVP said. "That doesn't work for me, at all."

In an Amazon Live Stream over a week later, Kyle said she's not apologizing to LVP. "LVP said that it would have to start with an apology and—by the way—nobody's asking to, sorry," Kyle declared. "So, don't hold your breath. Happy holidays." It's clear that a reconciliation isn't happening anytime soon... or ever.
