On the other side of the world, Kyle Richards and her family enjoyed their uber-luxurious vacation in Tuscany, Italy but members of her family separated as some flew to London for her niece Nicky Hilton’s wedding while others went home.

“Obviously, I don’t feel wonderful about the situation,” Kyle said. “Regardless of any family issues that may be going on, I’m not going to miss my niece’s wedding.”

Kyle has had a lot of family drama this year. Her sister, Kim Richards, was arrested in April for being drunk and disorderly. She was then picked up for shoplifting in August, and then finally checked herself into rehab.
