Kyle Richards Recalls Her Protective Aunt Era Where She 'Scared the Daylights' Out of Paris Hilton's Childhood Bullies

Kyle Richards' protective side extends past her children and onto Paris Hilton and her loved ones.

While appearing on her niece's I am Paris podcast, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, recalled a moment when she made Hilton's childhood bullies cry after learning that she was getting teased for her "big lips" at school.

"You were too young to understand there was a lot of jealousy," Richards recalled. "What was beautiful about you, kids would pick on you about and you would get your feelings hurt."

When Hilton, 43, informed her aunt about the comments other children were making, the Bravolebrity took a stand and gave her bullies a stern talking to.

"I would like to just preface this by saying I was young and immature," she laughed. "But ... I asked to speak to them and pulled them aside and told them if they ever spoke to you like that again... and I forget the rest, but I scared the daylights out of these kids and I was feeling pretty proud when I left there."

"I think she cried and I was like, you know, let's just keep this to ourselves," Richards added, noting that she didn't want to get in trouble by administration as a young mom.

When Hilton asked the Halloween actress what she was like as a baby, she described her as a "perfect, flawless" infant.

"I would sneak in your crib and pull you out and put you in the bed with me and I would cry because I loved you so much," she gushed of her niece, adding, "I was obsessed with you."

During times when Richards babysat, she looked back at how she changed the Cooking with Paris star's diapers and made bottles and just sat laying next to each other.

"We really bonded since you were an infant," she continued, sharing how she loves all of her nieces and nephews but feels that her bond with Hilton holds a place in her heart. "I feel like yours and mine are really special. You were the first one ... and looking back I was just a baby too."
