Kathy Hilton appeared to keep it together, for the most part, during the dramatic dinner party amongst the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast at her sister Kyle Richards’ home on Wednesday night’s new episode of the show. However, according to Hilton herself, she actually suffered an emotional outburst during the tense meeting between the women.
After hearing about the many victims of Erika Jayne’s estranged husband, Thomas Girardi, and the millions they are owed, Hilton appeared on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: After Show, where she opened up about her breakdown.

"I literally started to cry to the point, you know when I burst out, and my whole face, I had to get up and go into [Kyle’s] powder room. And I was literally crying my eyes out," Hilton recalled.
As fans saw on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ latest episode, Hilton found herself upset after learning about the many victims Girardi, a once-famed attorney, had allegedly stolen from, including the orphans and widows of those who died in a plane crash in Indonesia in 2018.

Looking back, Hilton said that much of what she heard at the dinner at Richards’ home was completely new to her.
"It was the first time all of those things had been brought up to me. I thought it was like, ‘Oh, he’s in trouble with his taxes.’I really wasn’t paying attention. But when the discussion started happening at the dinner table, and here you’d gone to make this so beautiful and then I heard all the allegations. Literally, I thought I was going to bust open," she recalled.

"I had to excuse myself and nobody even knew. I had to come and calm myself down, put cold water on my face. I got that emotional,” Hilton continued.
In her own Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: After Show moment, Richards was seen reacting to the ongoing news she and her cast mates were getting in regard to the way in which Girardi had allegedly stolen settlements he won for his former clients.
“It is incredibly sad when you read the stories. It’s incredibly shocking and incredibly sad," she shared.
