Morgan Wade might be struggling to find her spot in Kyle Richards’ life, but the country singer is allegedly easing into it. During the Amazon Live chat, Richards explained that Wade was becoming “kind of adjusted” to the attention, but added that it was still “all very new” and overwhelming. Speaking further, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star noted that she asked Wade to perform at a mental health awareness event held in honor of her late friend Lorene Shea. “She came on as a favor to me because my best friend since I [was] 7 years old passed away. She committed suicide May 1st [2022], and it was a really important event for me,” Richards explained. “It was a celebration of life and I just wanted to bring more awareness and have suicide be more of an open conversation because it’s such a taboo topic.”
Morgan’s performance at the mental health awareness event was eventually filmed by the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” production team, and ended up airing during a January 2024 episode of the show. The decision to air the performance, as Richards revealed, was made to spread suicide awareness among viewers. “I really wanted to do an important episode to honor Lorene and just to bring light to suicide and what it does to people and help people that are struggling,” the reality star said.
But regardless of all of the unpleasant attention, Richards and Wade’s relationship only seems to be waxing stronger.
