Lorene Shea Suicide: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards remembers ‘Best Friend’ Lorene Shea.

The loss of Lorene Shea, her “very, very, very best friend,” is leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards speechless.

“Lorene was my partner in crime. We always thought we were separated at birth, but she was blonde and about six feet tall,” Kyle, 54, disclosed in her confessional on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Wednesday, December 13. “We were 7 years old when we first met in the second grade, and we have been best friends ever since.”

As “the most important person in my life outside of my family,” Kyle described her deceased friends. She claimed that Mauricio Umansky, her estranged husband, was among the people who didn’t know as much about her as Lorene did. Kyle said, “Your best friend of all those years knows everything.”

Lorene Shea died unexpectedly by suicide in May 2022.
