Fans are accusing Kyle Richards of being the “Bobby Fischer” of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after Sutton Stracke accused her of playing “chess” in a reunion preview.
During a past episode, Kyle hinted that something in a previous scene was “not right” with Sutton, and she suggested it was perhaps due to her “medicine” – or that she “had a couple” drinks.
“You said I had a drinking problem,” declared Sutton in a preview of the upcoming reunion episode, which was shared in a clip by @Bravosnarkside on Instagram. “[And] that I don’t eat. That is reckless in and of itself.”
When Kyle replied that she never accused her of having a drinking problem, Sutton said she “insinuate[d] it.”
“You started seedlings,” Sutton went on. “Do you know what that did to me?”
Kyle responded that Sutton has “a lot of nerve” to make these claims after what Sutton did to Kyle throughout the season. Kyle then insisted that the words ‘drinking problem’ never came out of her mouth.

“They won’t come out of your mouth. Because you’re very smart,” Sutton clapped back. “You play a good game of chess.”
In the comments of the video, fans then suggested that Kyle is the new “Bobby Fischer” – years after she compared Lisa Vanderpump to the famous chess player.
“Oh will the real Bobby Fischer please stand up!” wrote @bravosnarkside.
“This is textbook Kyle Richards,” said one viewer. “She drops a little bit of lighter fluid, strikes a match, runs away and then feigns ignorance when it blows up. Kyle knows exactly what she said and how she said it. She’s not new.”
“How manipulative!” another added. “Way more than innuendos and totally out of line. The arrogance is just unbelievable.”
“Just sitting up there lying. She can’t even keep her lies straight. Get her Sutton!” exclaimed a different user.
“Kyle 100% uses word salad and riddles to dance around taking accountability for stuff she says and does,” added a fan.
“I need Sutton to stop trying to be friends with Kyle. It’s so cringe,” wrote another. “Kyle doesn’t like her and it’s obvious.”
