Kyle Richards Slams ‘Snake’ Women Who ‘Throw Themselves’ at Estranged Husband Mauricio Umansky

Kyle Richards got emotional while discussing her ongoing separation from her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, during the final installment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion, and slammed the “snake” women who tried to ruin their once-happy marriage.

During the Tuesday, April 15, episode, host Andy Cohen inquired about Kyle, 56, and Mauricio’s dynamic following their October 2023 split announcement after 27 years of marriage. The Halloween actress made it clear that RHOBH wasn’t to blame for their relationship crumbling – and even applauded Mauricio, 54, for being her “biggest supporter.”

“But money, traveling, the business, the Agency growing, the attention he was getting. With all that, women are snakes,” Kyle explained. “They see a man who’s a good husband, good father, has money. They say, ‘Oh, I want that,’ throwing themselves at him. We got married very young. He never got to go out, and I think that contributed to the downfall of our marriage.”

That said, Kyle admitted that Mauricio’s newfound party antics no longer align with her sober lifestyle.

Andy, 56, wasn’t done trying to figure out what the tipping point was in Kyle and The Agency founder’s marriage, and brought up a moment from the season 13 reunion when the family matriarch admitted that “something happened” that made Kyle “lose [her] trust” in Mauricio. RHOBH star Sutton Stracke resurfaced Kyle’s comments during season 14, insinuating that cheating may have been involved on Mauricio’s end.

Kyle refused to explain beyond her previous statement because she has her “daughters to think about and this is somebody I care about.”

“I’m not here to hurt anybody or throw anybody under the bus. Not everything in our lives is up for grabs and I’m not here to talk bad about Mau,” she continued. “I don’t like when anybody speaks against him, and I do feel like that was done intentionally that day with Sutton. She said it wasn’t on purpose … I don’t want to talk about the father of my children. I just don’t.”

The pair share daughters, Alexia Umansky, 28, Sophia Umansky, 25, and Portia Umansky, 17. Mauricio is also an active stepdad to Farrah Aldjufrie, 36, whom Kyle welcomed with ex-husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.

Fans were saddened to learn that Kyle and Mauricio separated in October 2023, as they were a beloved and longstanding couple in the Housewives franchise.

Following their split, rumors swirled that Kyle’s extremely close bond with friend Morgan Wade was romantic. Despite the country singer making her RHOBH debut during season 13, both women have denied the speculation and Morgan, 30, opted out of appearing or being mentioned on the show during the following season.

Mauricio, for his part, has sparked dating rumors with multiple women and openly dated his now ex-girlfriend Nikita Kahn. The former Buying Beverly Hills star was photographed kissing the model, 34, at Greece’s Mykonos Airport in July 2024, and Kyle reacted to the photos in real time during RHOBH season 14.

“I don’t want him to feel guilty, because he’s allowed to do what he wants. But it’s also like, why are you being irresponsible? I don’t know,” Kyle told sister Kathy Hilton during a March episode, noting that she took “wife” off her Instagram bio. “I have a lot of mixed feelings, that’s why I’m saying I’m just processing it all.”

During part 3 of the reunion, Andy asked Kyle if she knew about Mauricio’s relationship with Nikita, to which she claimed to have an inkling about it.

“Before he moved out and got his own place, I used to see all his messages,” Kyle admitted before noting that she stopped looking at his messages once he moved out of their shared home. “I do know every f–king crumb.”

Neither Kyle nor Mauricio have officially filed for divorce as of publication.
