Kyle Richards is firing back at her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars who questioned her marraige last season… amid a rumored romance with Morgan Wade.
Richards and Umansky tied the knot in 1996, and while they shook off divorce rumors in July 2023, they confirmed in September 2023 they were separated.
The 55-year-old appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Kelly Ripa’s podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera, where she bashed her co-stars for interrogating her about her marriage to Mario Umansky, who she was married to for 27 years before their split last year.
‘The way they came at me, it was not from a loving place or a friend that said, “Do you need someone? Are you OK? Is everything OK?”‘ she began.
‘It was unbelievable –– honestly it felt inhumane,’ she continued, adding that she first started telling her RHOBH co-stars about their marital troubles at the start of Season 13.

‘You saw, I said, “I’m gonna tell the girls we were having issues,” [and] they were relentless. They wanted to know every problem,’ she continued.
She also added that she would have confided in them if they were willing to, ‘come to me in an off-camera kind way,’ though that didn’t happen.
‘They also knew the other things that had gone on in my life –– not just my marriage –– the other stuff I was dealing with, and I was like, “Can you not give me some grace?'” she shared.
While she didn’t elaborate on ‘other things that had gone on in my life,’ she mentioned elsewhere in the podcast she was still grieving the loss of her best friend Lorene Shea.
‘I was like, “Guys, cut me a break,”‘ adding she, ‘did not do one thing to hurt anybody’ and yet still was, ‘treated like that.’
‘Why was nobody there for me to lean on? Obviously some more than others. Obviously we know who was driving the bus on that situation,’ she said.
While she wouldn’t specify which cast members she was referring to, Richards had clashed with both Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais in this past season.
Stracke called Richards out for ‘not being honest’ while Beauvais accused Richards of using a ‘makeup’ wedding ring.
Richards and Umansky still have not quite opened up about what has caused their split after 27 years of marriage.
‘You saw, I said, “I’m gonna tell the girls we were having issues,” [and] they were relentless They wanted to know every problem,’ she continued.

She did say in February, though, that the separation and co-parenting is ‘kind of strange’ though it is ‘working’ for them both.
‘We’re a family no matter what, and we love each other, and we’re just trying to figure it out,’ she added.
‘So right now, it’s not on pause. We’re actively navigating through this and working through it,’ adding they hope to resolve things, ‘sooner than later.’
‘We’re not going to be in this situation forever, whichever way that goes. Time will tell, probably sooner than later, but we’re hanging in there. The good thing is we get along well, and we were at an event last night together with the family,’ she said.
