It appears that Kyle Richards, for one, is primarily upset that people are upset with Gwen Stefani at all. On an E! News Instagram post about the story, Richards commented, “Everyone can’t wait to be offended by something.” Why Richards didn’t decide to just sit this one out is a question only she can answer, but it is interesting considering the context. For one thing, one of Richards’ biggest beefs on Season 12 of “RHOBH” was with Crystal Minkoff, who she called a “dramatic millennial” after Minkoff once described a racially insensitive conversation with Sutton Stracke as “dark,” (via Page Six).
For another, doesn’t Richards remember her co-star Lisa Rinna going on a full-blown apology tour after she said in an Instagram story, “We fight on our show if we fight with Garcelle we are all of a sudden called racist,” per Us Weekly.

No one is calling Richards racist, for what it’s worth, only that she maybe isn’t the right person to be leading this convo.
