Hilton appeared on WWHL with Richards, who sat in the audience, and her daughter Nicky Hilton, who served as bartender. Hilton was asked if it's been hard to maintain a friendship with Vanderpump, given her feud with Richards.

"You know, Kyle is sitting right here. Truthfully, I don't -- she's so busy," Hilton said of Vanderpump.

"You're not friends with her," Richards interjected from the audience.

"She is busy, and she does work for Mr. Cohen. Andrew, as I should be calling him," Hilton continued, referencing WWHL host Andy Cohen. "So I don't get a chance to see her."

"And I do have to say, when she did say that Kyle should keep her new little nose out of her business, I was kind of like -- that made me feel a little bad, because Kyle wanted always just to have things good," she said.

Vanderpump left RHOBH in 2019 following drama with Richards and her other co-stars in Season 9. The season featured #Puppygate, a scandal where Vanderpump's co-stars accused her of leaking stories about Dorit Kemsley after a dog Kemsley adopted from Vanderpump's organization ended up at a shelter.

Hilton appears as a friend of the Housewives in RHOBH Season 11. On WWHL, Nicky Hilton was asked what she thinks about her mom appearing on the show.

"When I found out, I cried," Nicky Hilton said of her mom joining RHOBH. "I've come around ... I was very worried, but I've been pleasantly surprised."
