Kyle, 51, called into SiriusXM’s “The Jenny McCarthy Show” on Wednesday to dish about upcoming 10th season, and Denise leaving the show midway through filming amid the rumors of her alleged affair with Brandi Glanville.

“[Denise] stopped, you know, basically showing up,” Kyle said. “She didn’t want to face anything or deal with anything, so she either would bring her husband or disappear.”

She continued, “That was something I really took issue with because I’ve been on the show for ten years. There have been so many things have come up that were really, really painful over these ten years … When you think about the things that people went through on this show, like, I never knew it was an option not to show up!”

Kyle laughed that she would love to avoid drama with her co-stars, but she “always shows up” to film because that’s her job.

McCarthy, 47, commented that she hoped Lisa Vanderpump, who left midway through Season 9, “didn’t set a pattern” for people thinking they could just “storm off” the show.

Kyle then responded, “That’s why we broke the fourth wall. I mean, ultimately, that’s why they ended up having to.”

She added that walking off is “the worst thing you can honestly do because you leave it open for everyone to talk about that instead of you taking control of the narrative. And you’re just making it a way bigger deal. It’s a rookie move!”
