Kyle Richards Resurfaces ‘Touchy’ Photo of Dorit Kemsley, Mauricio Umansky After Cheating Rumors
Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s feud continues to get uglier on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and the Halloween actress added fuel to the fire by resurfacing a “touchy” photo of estranged husband Mauricio Umansky and Dorit.
During the Tuesday, January 14, episode, Kyle, 56, chatted with RHOBH costar Bozoma “Boz” Saint about her recent fight with Dorit, who had a problem with Kyle texting estranged husband Paul “PK” Kemsley amid their separation. As Kyle defended not showing her text message thread with PK, 57, to Dorit, 48, she pulled up the photo with Mauricio, 54, PK and Dorit.
“Let me show you something funny,” the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum told Boz, 47, during the recent episode. “It was a stupid rumor, but I’m just gonna show you. There’s a whole rumor started because they’re like, ‘Dorit is way too touchy-feely with Mo.'”
The photo was a still from a 2022 RHOBH scene when Mauricio and Paul gave each other a brother-like hug with Dorit embracing them each with open arms. Before letting go of Mauricio, the Beverly Beach founder gave him a kiss on the backside of his shoulder.
Kyle then opened up to Boz about past cheating rumors that surrounded Mauricio and Dorit.
“There was a whole rumor about how Dorit has a thing for Mo, and it was all over the internet,” Kyle told the former marketing executive. “She had to go and defend it and this and that. So, don’t even get me freaking started about sending stupid memes, OK?”
However, later in the episode, it was revealed that Kyle and PK’s text exchange was more than silly memes.
“I know you have a lot of friends, but I’m also one, and here if you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me, and never would,” Kyle said as she recited the text she sent to PK when Dorit announced their separation.
Although Dorit and Kyle are butting heads, they are both learning how to navigate their marriage woes.
In July 2023, People reported that Kyle and Mauricio separated after 27 years of marriage. The former couple only confirmed hitting a rough patch in their marriage at the time, but Mauricio confirmed their separation in February 2024.
Although neither pair has filed for divorce, Mauricio has moved on with new flings, including ex Nikita Kahn.
Mauricio and Kyle share daughters Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky and Portia Umansky. The Agency founder is also a loving and involved stepfather to Farrah Aldjufrie, whom Kyle shares with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.
Dorit found her own marriage at risk in October 2023 when In Touch broke the news that she and PK separated after more than nine years of marriage.
“We have had some challenging years, which we openly discuss in the upcoming season of RHOBH,” Dorit and PK said in a shared statement to the outlet shortly after. “We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family. We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage. We would be grateful for everyone’s understanding. We are doing what we can to focus on the best interests of our family, as opposed to spending our time contending with rumors and hearsay that are not true. Love, Dorit and PK.”
Dorit announced her separation from PK to her costars during the RHOBH season 14 premiere in November 2024.
Before Kyle and Dorit’s individual marriage woes, the fashion designer faced cheating rumors with Mauricio in 2022. The gossip grew when Dana Wilkey, former RHOBH “friend of,” shared a meme of the cheating rumors via Instagram.
“Is something wrong with you woman? Or are you just so miserable in your life you have nothing better to do? You’re definitely one of the thirstiest people I’ve ever seen, I guess it’s just as simple as that?” Dorit wrote in the comments section of Dana’s August 2022 post. “Kyle and Mau are our friends and my kids call them uncle and auntie. Do you think this is OK for my kids to see when it’s a disgusting lie? If this is the only way you can make a buck then so be it but at least have some decency and stop trying to peddle false narratives especially when you know there is ZERO truth behind it and your whole motive is to just hurt people for no reason. It’s sad, pathetic and bound to bite you in the ass inevitably.”
Mauricio recently addressed the cheating rumors during a December 2024 episode of Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast alongside PK.
“The s–t that comes out that’s so not true is so crazy,” the real estate guru said. “The whole issue with [PK] and Kyle texting, like who gives a s–t? You guys are friends. The whole thing with me and Dorit having a thing, like, that’s so f–king stupid.”
