Diana French, woman accused of stealing Kyle Richards’ ring, speaks out

Diana French has a bone to pick with Kyle Richards. And Diane Keaton, for that matter.

French, a retired pharmacy clerk from Los Angeles, wound up an unwitting viral star when “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards saw a picture of French’s hands on Diane Keaton’s Instagram and thought she recognized a ring that had been stolen from her home in a 2018 burglary.

For some reason, Keaton identified French in the picture as a psychic from Santa Monica, which may have been why Richards’ subsequent attempt to find French through a private investigator came to naught.

This week, however, a TikTok user identified French as her grandmother from her hands and attempted to clear her name, saying the ring had been in her possession for decades while offering photographic proof.

French, however, is fed up, telling “Inside Edition” during her Sept. 28 appearance that she wants an apology from Richards and Keaton.

“I don’t deserve this,” she told the show. “My twin sister called and said, ‘Diana, you’re on Google.”

“My mother was killed 40 years ago and my dad gave me her band,” French explained of the ring, noting that she has appraisal papers from 1980 that set the ring’s value at $2,500, along with a trove of family photos showing her wearing the item for decades.

As for the nails, French said she’s always had them: “I am totally lost without them.”

And while she doesn’t remember the particular date Keaton took the pic, she does remember the actress was her customer.

“That picture of my hands was taken on the counter of the pharmacy,” she said.

Reached by Page Six, Richards’ team had no comment; Keaton’s has yet to respond.
