She was rumored to be in a relationship with tattoo-covered country singer Morgan Wade after she split from her husband Mauricio Umansky.
And even after vehemently denying the romance rumors, Kyle Richards raised the bar by appearing in Wade’s latest music video for Fall In Love With Me to “troll the trolls.”
The 54-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star – who is reportedly producing a documentary about the singer-songwriter – was featured in behind-the-scenes footage of the video recording that 28-year-old Morgan posted to her Instagram account at Friday.
In the clip, the two close friends explained why they worked together while sitting next to each other on a couch, before Morgan shared some footage from the upcoming music video.
“The internet asked and @kylerichards18 and I delivered. ;),” Morgan wrote in her caption, after noting that the song was released at midnight the same day, while the video Kyle starred in was due to be released sometime next week.

The new footage began with shots of Morgan rummaging the wardrobe racks for her shoot, before settling on a fuchsia crop top and pale blue leggings with a charcoal gray zip-up hoodie.
Then it cut her and Kyle sitting next to each other on a couch as the reality star confessed that she first heard of Morgan when she heard her music on the radio.
“I was like, ‘Wow, this girl really blows me away with her voice and the lyrics,'” she recalled.
She admitted that she looked up the singer on Instagram and was initially surprised to see all of her tattoos, although she followed her on the platform.
But then she said Morgan had sent her a direct message asking why she followed her.
“I just wasn’t expecting someone from Beverly Hills,” the singer said through her thick southern accent.
She added that her “friends freaked out” when they saw Kyle following her, though Morgan was not familiar with her work on RHOBH or as an actress before that.
Then Morgan explained that she made Kyle appear in her video to confuse fans who mistakenly believe that someone in her videos is her new romantic partner.

Challenging assumptions: Morgan cast Kyle due to the romance rumors to “troll the trolls,” as she said, people assumed every person in her music videos with her was her new love
“I’ve done several music videos, and whenever someone is with me, they always assume we’re dating, or something is going on,” she confessed.
Morgan also said that there were people “on the Internet” who were “obsessed” with her and Kyle as “friends.”
“But we thought it would be a good idea to poke fun at that and troll the trolls a bit,” she continued.
She assumed the internet would “jump” over the video, and she joked that when Kyle sneezes, “there are 45 articles about it right away.”
Kyle then confessed that she always smiled when she was nervous while filming the music video.
While Morgan didn’t share the video’s story, clips of it played during the call indicated it was likely some kind of romance.
Morgan was seen at home in a black leather crop top and light green slacks, while Kyle wore a ridiculous green tulle dress over a sizzling black bodysuit with an attached choker as she appeared to be writing a letter or doing a craft project.
Kyle changed into a shimmering gold and pink top with voluminous sleeves and ripped acid-wash jeans in another scene as she emerged from behind the blinds.

Finally, she seemed to ring Morgan’s doorbell, and the country singer answered the door, which seemed to indicate that the two would get together.
Despite recently putting a stop to rumors of a relationship between the two, Kyle attended Morgan’s concert in Aspen, Colorado on Sunday.
The documentary she is making about the singer will reportedly focus on her meteoric rise to fame and her struggles with addiction, as well as her plans to soon undergo a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of developing breast cancer after she tested positive for the BRCA gene, which greatly increases the chance of developing the disease.
Last month, Kyle announced that she and husband Mauricio Umansky were separating after 27 years of marriage, though they insisted at the time that there had been no “misconduct by anyone.”
