Kyle Richards Is Not on Board with Daughter Alexia Becoming a Real Housewife: 'You Learned Nothing' from Me

Kyle Richards does not want her daughters to follow in her footsteps.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star's daughter Alexia, whom she shares with ex Mauricio Umansky, might have her sights set on becoming a housewife herself. But that doesn't mean Richards is okay with it.

"Someone mentioned that the other day and she said, 'Oh, I could see myself doing that,'" Richards, 56, tells PEOPLE of the possibility of Alexia, 28, joining the Bravo franchise after she gets married to Jake Zingerman.

"And I thought, 'What are you talking about? You learned nothing from what I've gone through.'"

"Oh my gosh. Can you imagine?" Richards says as she thinks about her oldest daughter joining the Real Housewives world — and not just as a daughter, but as a Housewife herself — on the red carpet at the 50th Gracie Awards in Los Angeles on May 20.

"I've already had two sisters on the show, now I have a daughter. Yeah, I'm okay. I think I'll have to pass on that."

While her daughter is making her interest clear, Richards' own future when it comes to the Bravo universe is not so cut and dry.

She told PEOPLE last month when asked if she'll return for RHOBH season 15 that she still needs to "make that decision" because she knows the clock is “ticking.”

"I mean, it's very difficult for your life [to be] out there and have the world weighing in on analyzing things and people not knowing you know the full scope of full details. And judging you without being able to explain everything, it's very difficult.” 

“So it depends on what year and what season, whether I can handle it or not,” she said.

Season 14 was particularly difficult for her, as it documented her split from Umansky, with whom she shares Alexia and daughters Sophia, 25, and Portia, 16. So much so that she didn't even tune in.

"Honestly, I didn't watch, which, I don't like saying that, because I do like to watch the show, even if — I only watch it once, normally,” she said. “But I like to watch even if it's difficult. I like to watch the good end of that, but this season, it was just too challenging for me.”
