Taylor Armstong Fires Back at Claim She Dated Kyle Richards: 'Lies, Lies, Lies'

Taylor Armstrong left nothing to interpretation as she responded to a claim she previously dated former castmate Kyle Richards.

Dated Kyle Richards? Taylor Armstrong has three words: "Lies, lies, lies!!!"

The Real Housewives alum fired back at a parody account on X that claimed she and former castmate Kyle Richards dated years ago. 

"Taylor Armstrong confirms to GQ that she dated Kyle Richards for about five months in 2016," a tweet from account Dorinda Deadly read. "She says the two are friends now: 'She’s family no matter what.'"

Armstrong's response? "This is complete bulls**t," she fired back in a tweet. "Kyle is like family to me and always has been! I never said this, thought this or experienced this. Lies, lies, lies!!! #RHOBH."

The meme was in reference to Hunter Schafer's recent admission to GQ about her and Rosalía dating "for about five months in the fall and winter of 2019."

"She's family no matter what," said Schafer of Rosalía.

Meanwhile, Richards and Armstrong appeared together on six seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from the show's inception through to 2016. Armstrong was a guest for seasons 3 through 6 of the series. Years later, she joined Real Housewives of Orange County as a friend for the 17th season. 

During that season, Armstrong shared that she was bisexual and had dated a woman for five years before her marriage to her late first husband, Russell Armstrong. 

As for Richards, her marital troubles have made headlines over the last year amid her and longtime husband Mauricio Umansky's separation

"I would like to believe there is light at the end of the tunnel," Richards told ET last month. "Each, you know, day gets easier in one way and a little sadder in other ways."

"It's a challenging time right now, but we're very amicable," she added. "We love each other and care about each other and we love our family and I feel like we're very fortunate that we're handling it the way we are and that we can, so I don't know if many people can do that. So, you know, we'll figure it out."

Richards also continues to face speculation that there is more to her friendship with Morgan Wade, the country singer who had the mom of four star as her love interest in her steamy 2023 music video for "Fall in Love With Me." Richards later clarified that she filmed for the video before news of her separation emerged. 

"I said to the director, 'I've never actually, like, kissed anybody on camera, let alone a woman or off camera,'" the reality star said during the season 13 RHOBH reunion. "So, I was very nervous and, you know, anxious, but, I mean, if I'm being honest with myself, I was obviously curious in order to say yes."

When asked by Andy Cohen if there was anything going on between them, Richards reportedly replied, "I love her, she's my friend and I love her."

"I'm evolving, I'm changing," she added. "I'm clearly going through some evolution of my own and I don't know. I don't know what my future holds right now."
