Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s marital troubles played out during Season 13 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In July 2023, the couple officially separated. Kyle didn’t share much about their relationship issues last season. But it sounds like the upcoming season will be a different story. Now Kyle is setting the record straight about her RHOBH co-stars and their reaction to her separation.
Kyle Richards wasn’t “whining” to her RHOBH co-stars
Kyle reportedly wasn’t happy about seeing Mauricio hanging out with his gal pal, Nikita Kahn, in Greece. Seeing your ex playing tonsil hockey with someone else is never pleasant. Plus, Kyle’s fellow Beverly Hills housewives were allegedly “sick of her whining, saying she tries to portray herself as a victim, a woman who’s been wronged.”
Well, Kyle shared her side of the story on her Amazon Live. “[Gossip sites] really like to torture me sometimes. I read something that said, ‘The women are sick of Kyle’s whining’ or something like that,” Kyle stated. “That’s not true. Even though I’ve had some moments this season with some people, they were supportive.”
She continued, “When I read these things I’m like, ‘Why do they like [to] do that to me?’ You know, everybody … has been very understanding and supportive. We’re all women, we’re all moms, so they understood. And it wasn’t just only about [my separation] the whole time,” Kyle added.
So, if the RHOBH ladies have Kyle’s back, who was her most trusted supporter? “Definitely Erika [Jayne]. Always unwavering support,” Kyle explained. “And, you know, she’s always been there for me. And she’s always been a trustworthy friend and a big supporter. So, I always appreciate her so much.”
That doesn’t necessarily mean that filming Season 14 was easy for Kyle amid her split from Mauricio. “[Filming] went some days very well, some days really bad. When I say bad – I say this every year – if it’s a good season for you guys watching, it’s a bad season for us,” the actress said. “So you know, I had obviously some bad days, which means probably good television, unfortunately.”
Kyle also alluded to problems with Dorit Kemsley. Dorit recently separated from her husband, PK Kemsley. “It’s been up and down a lot [with Dorit] which, you know, was not fun obviously when we’re both already going through stuff,” Kyle stated.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is now streaming on Peacock.
