Fans of Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cringed over an awkward conversation between Kyle Richards and her ex Mauricio Umansky.
The 56-year-old Richards and 54-year-old Umansky were married from 1996 until their shock split in 2023.
The exes have still not officially divorced nearly two years after their separation, though their estrangement took quite the turn when Umansky was pictured making out with a much younger woman.
Earlier this season on RHOBH, Richards saw the photos for the first time, and she's been processing the image ever since.
Now that he's back from his trip to Europe, Richards and Umansky saw each other for the first time since the photos surfaced.
Many were quite torn on the conversation, with some calling out Mauricio for his actions and others calling out Kyle for her rumored lesbian romance with country singer Morgan Wade.

Umansky came over to Richards' home to discuss his trip, first admitting that he 'only' partied for five of the 25 days of the trip, though Kyle didn't believe him.
After some awkward silences and literal tea-stirring, Umansky finally opened up about the photo of him and the younger woman.
You know, obviously the Mykonos, you know I got photographed you know, in the airport,' Mauricio began.
'You know that I would never wanna do anything on purpose that would hurt you or the kids. I really am sorry for... You know, hurting you. I would never want to hurt you on purpose,' he said.
Richards responded, 'I know that you would never do that on purpose. I know that you did not know your picture was being taken. I don't know that the other person didn't know that.'
She acknowledged that was, 'hard to see,' though she added, 'We are separated and we're allowed to do what we want in this time. It's just strange, you know?
He added, 'Of course. I get it,' while Kyle admitted in confession, 'The photos really did say to me...He's moving on.'
She told him, 'I don't know what I'm supposed to do now,' as she started getting emotional as Mauricio gave her a hug.

I'm seeing these photos. I think it makes it pretty clear that this is permanent and... I don't think it's going to be easy to come back from that,' she said in confession.
Brooke Ashley (@thebrookeash) tweeted, 'I know they were married for a long time but I couldn't let a man see me down bad like this lmao. I prefer to cry in private. Never let them see you sweat esp when they've moved on. #RHOBH.'
Chanél desirée (@thebpdcrisis) added, 'Looks like Kyle doesn't know how to communicate with Mo. It seems to run in the family.'
Another user dubbed Tay (@taynorelle) said, 'i don’t want to see this divorce happen. Kyle & Mo have literally grown up together. this is hard to watch.'
Stephane (@StephaneCantre9) said, '#RHOBH I feel bad for Kyle when she was in the kitchen with Mauricio and she started crying nobody expect their life to go that way
Others though like @jaxbra said, '"How did we allow this to happen?" Well let's see Kyle. After the Mo infidelity rumors came around again, and you started prancing your non-girlfriend girlfriend around, started dressing like her.... I can't imagine how you got there.
Another dubbed @michaelja__ said, 'I’m soooo over hearing about Kyle sobbing about her separation. It’s so clear they are not getting back together #RHOBH
