For the first time, Kyle Richards<\/a><\/strong> is opening up about her battle with an eating disorder.<\/p>\n

In a preview of Tuesday, June 11 episode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em>, Kyle reveals she struggled with anorexia while working as an teenage actress. She was sparked to open up by Lisa Rinna<\/a><\/strong>, who has continued discussing her own daughter’s eating disorder on camera.<\/p>\n

“I feel really weird even saying anything because I’ve never ever talked about this, not even to my daughters\u2026when I was younger, I had my own problems,” Kyle said.<\/p>\n

She said she kept quiet for years because she never wanted to plant a seed in her daughters’ heads.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“It started when I was 17. I was on a TV show and they kept putting me in these big things, my boobs were big when I was young, my sisters were tiny and cute, everyone was blonde, blue-eyed and skinny. I said I don’t like my wardrobe and they said, \u2018Lose some weight and we’ll put you in cuter wardrobe,'” Kyle said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During her teen years, Kyle worked on a number of Hollywood projects including Down to Earth<\/em>, Concrete Cowboys<\/em>, CHiPs<\/em> and Curfew<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“People would compliment me and the more they complemented me, the less I would eat. I would take V8 juice and put it in a bowl, heat it up and that was my food. I was 99 pounds. It was like that for years. I mean, I can remember times where I was like, \u2018I’ll only have six almonds today. That’s all I’m going to have,'” Kyle said. “I was very self-conscious.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Kyle told Lisa, Dorit Kemsley<\/strong>, Erika Girardi<\/strong> and Teddi Mellencamp<\/strong> that she was triggered by skinny models and being a different weight than her sisters.<\/p>\n

In a confessional, Kyle said she was sparked to open up by Lisa and Lisa’s daughter Amelia. “I can’t just pretend I don’t know what that feels like. So, guess what: I had an eating disorder when I was younger,” she said.<\/p>\n

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> airs Tuesdays, 9 p.m. on Bravo.<\/p>\n
