It is no secret that Kathy Hilton is the break-out "friend of" on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is always making funny little Kathy comments, and while some think they are random and off-the-cuff, others think she knows exactly what she is doing. Personally, I think it's a little bit of both. What she says is very natural and authentic, but don't get it confused... Kathy Hilton knows exactly what she says and how she says it.

In the beginning of this season, Kathy was surveying the landscape. She was observing and getting to know each woman and feeling everyone out, interacting with everyone on an equal level. But then I felt a little bit of a shift, especially when it came to how she spoke about and to Erika Girardi and Dorit Kemsley. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, because it was so subtle and yet, there was such weight behind what she was saying. Before, when Erika came to Sutton Stracke's house for their Parisian lunch after the news broke that Erika filed for divorce, Kathy was incredibly supportive and understanding. But fast forward to the women's trip to Palm Springs, and I could definitely feel the change... because that is after Erika filed for divorce and the story started to get fishy.

It might be the case of "money talks, wealth whispers" with these three — in that "money" (Erika and Dorit) talk talk talk, while "wealth" (Kathy) is just a delightful whisper in the wind each episode. Because keep in mind, Kathy Hilton is just that, a fucking Hilton. She has a net worth of $350 million dollars. She has been in the entertainment business since she was nine years old. She has been around such extreme wealth she can see through the phony really quickly.
