For this Bravo Paper, I dive into the always fascinating, complicated and dramatic world of the Richards sisters -- Kathy Hilton, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards. I start with the story of their mom, "Big Kathy", whose tragic and toxic life is what has lead to the complex and troubled dynamics between these 3 sisters. Ever since that fateful day when Kim uttered the words, "YOU STOLE MY GODDAMN HOUSE!", we have been enamoured by the dynamics of these sisters. They give us bits and pieces of their drama on the show, but there is so much beneath the surface.
