Since Season 1, Episode 1 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I’ve always had a soft spot for Kyle Richards. Perhaps it was because she had such turmoil with her sisters. Or the fact that she really loved being a wife and mother. In the early days, Kyle came across as innocent (now I know better), but whatever it was, the actor had a spell over me. However, as Season 14 continued to air, I couldn’t help but wonder, was Kyle the damsel in distress, or was she just the distress for others?

RHOBH’s Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky haven’t made any marriage decisions

So, divorce is a sticky rollercoaster of a mess. We all know this. For two years now, fans have watched Kyle and Mauricio Umansky navigate their separation, and it’s pretty much stalled in the water. But to have no resolution feels a bit odd to many RHOBH fans. To this day, none of us understands what led to their 27-year marriage ending. Kyle has dropped cryptic hints during the reunion that Mau broke her trust, but never gave an example.

For years, there have been rumors surrounding his possible infidelity. But no woman has ever come forward claiming to be a mistress. Since they announced their breakup in July 2023, Mauricio has moved out of the family home. Since then, fans have watched Kyle process the major change to her life. But some scenes showed the duo hugging, crying, and talking about their family. And while it might have been cathartic for them, it felt manipulative on Kyle’s part. The big elephant in the room is why no papers have been signed, and all fingers seem to be pointing to Kyle holding back.    

Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards are separated, so he’s allowed to date

Mau has been spotted with multiple women. But the biggest lady of note had to be the airport snap heard around the Bravosphere. After just stepping off the plane in Mykonos, Greece, on July 16, a pap snapped Mau embracing a young woman and kissing her. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans watch the fallout during the current season. And while Erika Jayne and Jennifer Tilly both recently called him out for his “passive-aggressive” behavior, I was left questioning if Mau was really at fault here. According to Kyle, he is playing by the rules, and both are entitled to date during their separation period.  

Kyle told The Hollywood Reporter, “Obviously, it’s strange to see his personal life played out all the time. Photos of him walking down the street [with other women]. But while it may be strange, we’re not together like that, so it is what it is.” But Kyle also noted at the reunion that he is allowed to date. She told the cast that Mau loves to socialize. “It makes me think that’s one of the reasons we’re not together, actually,” she elaborated. “I don’t like to go out and party like that … When we were in our 20s, it was great — 30s, too — but now, I’m like, I don’t want to do that.”

Did Kyle Richards play the victim on RHOBH?

During the reunion, Kyle revealed some more cryptic breadcrumbs to Andy Cohen and viewers. “I know he regrets things that have happened that got us to this place,” Kyle responded. “I don’t know if he wants to get back together because he has never said that,” she shared. Kyle alluded to some issues that could have caused their demise. She noted that “money, traveling, fame, his business, The Agency, growing, [and] the attention he was getting with all that” didn’t help their relationship.  

At times, it very much felt like Kyle played the victim role. She was not innocent, as photos of her and Morgan Wade took over the blogs. To this day, she still hasn’t defined their relationship. But according to Kyle, the marital issues had more to do with Mau. She ended her part at the reunion, noting, “Women are snakes. They see a man who was a good husband and a good father, and he has money, and they’re like, ‘Oh, I want that,’ and [throw] themselves at him. And we got married very young, and he never got to go out and do his thing. And I think that, you know, really contributed to the downfall of our marriage.” Kyle can be both the villain and the damsel; it just depends on the day.

TELL US – WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE REAL VILLAIN HERE?

The post Why RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Might Be the Villain, Not Mauricio Umansky appeared first on Reality Tea.

Viewers of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills always enjoyed Mauricio Umansky during his time on the series. He was engaging, funny, and driven, and his bromance with PK Kemsley was everything. Over the years, fans invested their time not only in watching the series but also in following Mau and Kyle Richards’ relationship. They were the Bravo couple that stood the test of time. The exception to the Bravo divorce curse. But after 27 years, something happened between the duo, and they decided a separation was for the best. Now Mauricio went from husband of the year to the number one villain in the group, and he isn’t even a full-time cast member.

Mauricio Umansky was “passive-aggressive” according to RHOBH’s Jennifer Tilly

It was only a matter of time before Erika Jayne inserted herself into the drama. During her friendship with Kyle, she was always a good support system for the OG. And the moment Mauricio’s eyes started to wander, she was there to call him out. While speaking on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Erika made it clear she was Team Kyle. The Rollercoaster singer revealed she was upset for her friend when Mau replaced an office photo of Kyle with one of his Dancing with the Stars partner. “I did not like this. I don’t like it now, I don’t like it then. That is not cool. I’m sorry. Well, you know what, I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry. I don’t like it … If you’re looking Mau, I still don’t like you for doing that. I’m sorry, all sh*t aside, put it in the back.”

Even newbie Jennifer Tilly agreed, noting, “That is shots fired. That is deliberate. That’s like a passive-aggressive thing ’cause he’s got to know that she is going to walk into his office at some point and see that and get some sort of message. That is very cold-blooded [and] harsh … Especially since there was some sort of kerfuffle about the dance partner.”

The other RHOBH cast members are also calling out Mauricio Umansky’s bad behavior

Garcelle Beauvais stood up for Kyle, and the two have had a rough season. The Coming to America actor called the photo move “bullsh*t. Replace it with a picture of you and the kids, not a picture of you and your dance partner.” Erika went on to say that “her husband has clearly moved on.” Kathy Hilton shared that seeing the photos for the first time made her feel “strange. Sad.” Even Andy Cohen made a point to ask Kyle about her issues with Mau during the RHOBH reunion. The Agency owner has made it really easy to be painted as the villain, yet Kyle is still defending him. 

For years, Mau’s fidelity has been questioned during his time on the series. No stories have ever come out, but Bravolebs and fans alike have wondered if he has always been faithful. By refusing to share his side of the story, fans are forced to write their own narrative about what went down between the duo. Mau’s ability to play the media into catching saucy snaps makes him a great villain. As Sutton Stracke noted, paparazzi weren’t just waiting at the tropical airport.  

Should RHOBH’s Kyle Richards have stood up for herself more?

I believe most Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans would agree that Kyle should have made more of an effort to stand up for herself. She seemed too shy to interject her real opinions into the matter, essentially letting Mau skate by on a sheepish apology. She shared on the After show that, “He apologized, and he felt horrible. And, you know, he got a tongue-lashing from the four other Kyles.” According to Kyle, she doesn’t “feel angry … [But] when I saw those photos, it was very jarring at first because, to me, in my mind, that’s my husband of all these years. How weird to see him with another woman at all.”

Fans aren’t buying that the mother of four wasn’t angry with the public embarrassment. She has stated more than once that she and Mau will still have a good friendship after their process is finalized. But for many, it feels like Kyle could be living in a dream world. Mau is out and about living his very single life. And what’s Kyle doing? For now, it looks as if she is sitting and waiting for him to make the next call when she should be the one taking control. Fingers crossed we get Mau making cameos next season, as it will be interesting to see what shenanigans he plays up next.

During Season 14, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers watched Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky navigate their complicated separation. Eventually, he moved out and into his own condo. However, when Mauricio was still living with Kyle, he did something hurtful and probably calculated. And Erika Jayne had no problem bashing him for it.

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne didn’t hold back about Mauricio Umansky’s treatment of Kyle Richards

When Mauricio appeared on Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, he was partnered with Emma Slater. The couple had a flirty vibe and performed some very suggestive dances. However, after a night out, Emma and Mauricio were spotted holding hands.

So, when Mauricio swapped a photo of himself with Kyle for one of him and Emma, it blew Kyle’s mind. “I understand to a certain degree … because that’s his desk, and right in front of his face is an 8×10 of him kissing my cheek, staring at him all day,” Kyle previously said. “But did you need to put up that photo?”

During The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Erika sounded off on Mauricio’s behavior. “I did not like this!” Erika exclaimed. “I don’t like it now, I don’t like it then. That is not cool.” She continued, “I’m sorry. Well, you know what? I’m not sorry. I don’t like it.”

RHOBH friend of the cast Jennifer Tilly stated, “That is deliberate. That is very cold-blooded [and] harsh.” Garcelle Beauvais also spoke out. “Replace it with a picture of you and the kids, not a picture of you and your dance partner. That’s bullsh*t,” Garcelle said.

Meanwhile, Erika also competed on DWTS. She had a photo with her partner, Gleb Savchenko, but it never graced the inside of her home. Finally, Erika had a message for Mauricio. “I did not like him doing that. And if you’re looking Mau, I still don’t like you for doing that. I’m sorry, all sh*t aside, put it in the back,” she stated.

As for Kyle, she finally removed the photos of Mauricio that were next to her bed. Good for you, Kyle!

Teresa Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, were recently slapped with tax liens. They are not alone, as numerous other reality television stars have also walked this path. Some have even spent time in prison for allegedly falsifying their filings. The government does not take kindly to a live-and-let-live way of being, so this is one area we all have to be extra careful about every year.

You have to make millions to owe millions. Also, errors happen. But if you do the crime, you just might have to do the time – as some of these reality TV stars have found out.

Reality TV stars facing tax problems

As the world currently stands, if you earn money, you owe money. These funds are often taken directly out of your paychecks. But, if your job does not withhold your taxes, you must pony up while filing your annual or quarterly taxes.

However, ignoring these notes can lead to risky consequences, especially if the filing deadline, minus a granted extension, comes and goes. Whether they received tax liens, had income tax discrepancies on their filings, or owed unpaid back taxes, here is a list of the reality television stars that have experienced tax problems on their BINGO cards at some point in time. As a thankful aside, most of these stars have since resolved their cases.

• Alexis Bellino
• Toni Braxton
• Brittany Cartwright
• Todd Chrisley
• Julie Chrisley
• Lynne Curtin
• Marc Daly
• Shamari DeVoe
• Robyn Dixon
• Kelly Dodd
• Alexia Echevarria
• Teresa Giudice
• Brandi Glanville
• Jon Gosselin
• Marlo Hampton
• Richard Hatch
• Ray Huger
• Margaret Josephs
• Dorit Kemsley
• PK Kemsley
• Jacqueline Laurita
• NeNe Leakes
• Kenya Moore
• Kyle Richards
• Lizzie Rovsek
• Luis Ruelas
• Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino
• Jax Taylor
• Peter Thomas
• Mauricio Umansky
• Porsha Williams

Reality TV and tax problems seem to go hand in hand

As you can see, the list of reality television stars who have experienced tax problems is massive. These stars bring in decent paychecks, so taxes should be easy for them to pay. Yet, taxes are not always cut and dry, as we examine countless reality television stars who have experienced tax woes over the past two decades.

So, why is this the case? Cue The Tax Defenders, writing an in-depth blog about this topic in 2023. I will share their top answers with you now.

According to a partner at Bambridge Accountants in New York, AKA Alistair Bambridge, erratic pay schedules play a role. As Alistair notes, “Celebrities have erratic pay cycles. They may have years where they have massive contracts and then very little income the next. That frequently leads to tax issues, as they think they can use money from next year and have difficulty budgeting or saving.”

Chantay Bridges, a realtor, author, speaker, and philanthropist, blames the greed of bad actors, otherwise known as wallet-loving accountants, alongside a poor understanding of rules and laws for those who self-file.

Finally, Rosalean Batool, a wellness and lifestyle coach, answered this question with two words: Poverty identity. “For most celebrities, being rich is unfamiliar and therefore unsafe.” Having money “creates a poverty identity” where celebrities “hoard,” “mismanage,” or “recklessly” spend their funds.

Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas are making recent tax-related headlines

Teresa and her husband, Luis, both have in-progress tax troubles. Their household owes $3 million in total, payable to the IRS. In the world of reality television stars with tax issues, these two are making the bulk of the headlines on this topic. Luckily, they are used to being in the hot seat, as proven by their time spent on Real Housewives of New Jersey.

In 2024, Luis took out a $1 million loan against his home with Teresa. On March 6, 2025, court documents surfaced showing that Luis now owes over $2.5 million in taxes to the state of New Jersey. As rumor has it, Luis is reportedly begging for more time to repay his loan.

With Luis explained, now Teresa. On March 20, the Mercer County, New Jersey, courts filed a judgment against her via a case deemed “Division of Taxation vs Teresa Giudice.” According to their findings and documentation, Teresa owes their state another $303,889.20.

To her credit, Teresa has successfully paid down her fees and fines for several years. Hopefully, a contract for RHONJ Season 15 will arrive at her doorstep shortly to help boost her payments made back to the state of New Jersey.

Todd and Julie Chrisley are still serving time over their recent tax-related problems

Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley, have also made recent headlines for their shared tax troubles. These two are now serving prison sentences after being convicted of bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to defraud the IRS. Todd spends his days at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida. Meanwhile, Julie resides at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.

In Atlanta, Todd and Julie were found guilty of conspiring to defraud community banks out of over $36 million in fraudulent loans, defrauding the IRS, and committing tax evasion. Julie also scored a few extra convictions, like obstruction of justice and wire fraud. Chrisley Knows Best, eh? Nope.

Todd received a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie snagged seven years. Nevertheless, they claim that their case got mishandled. As they reside in custody, they are now fighting back, hoping to have their sentences pardoned. Even though his guards removed his MAGA sticker from his cell, Todd (and Julie) continue to carry hope that POTUS will soon wipe their slates clean.

It’s become an uncomfortable fact of life for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast that they may run into Mauricio Umansky out and about with dates. If it’s not something that’s caught for tabloid fodder, there is the moral conversation of whether they should tell Kyle Richards about it. It’s still something the ladies of RHOBH are navigating. Of course, it’s got to be most difficult for Kyle herself. Most recently, Erika Jayne and RHOBH alum Lisa Rinna spotted Mauricio with a new woman at Chateau Marmont.

The Agency founder separated from Kyle in the summer of 2023. There was discretion at first, but pictures of him kissing a mystery woman in Mykonos a year later shattered the illusion that Mauricio and Kyle would be able to reconcile. One can assume that he is actively dating now.

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne says she and Lisa Rinna didn’t see Mauricio Umansky kissing anyone

Erika wanted to clarify a rumor that Mauricio was making out with a brunette at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The RHOBH veteran made the comments during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, as reported by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

Erika was with her current costar, Dorit Kemsley, and Rinna when they spotted Kyle’s estranged husband.

“It is true that Lisa Rinna and I walked past Mauricio with two brunettes at the table,” Erika confirmed. “Kissing? Absolutely not. That’s the real crux of the thing.”

She continued, “Listen, we were there at the Chateau, we walked past, we saw it. Dorit was there, too, by the way, but y’all don’t know that. Yeah, we saw him there, but it wasn’t anything other than three people sitting at a table.”

The Chicago star didn’t share any more details about the encounter. Presumably, she did not speak to Mauricio that night. The women at his table remain anonymous. Mauricio certainly did not go public with his company.

We’re learning far more about the aftermath of Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s separation in the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And that also includes seeing how Kyle’s castmates reacted to everything that happened. For Garcelle Beauvais, watching them just made her sad.

Garcelle opened up about her reaction to Kyle and Mau’s separation and subsequent interactions when she guested on Watch What Happens Live. She was asked how she felt watching Kyle and Mau’s discussion when the Greece airport photos came out and if she agreed with Kyle that there was “no coming back from that.”

Garcelle Beauvais didn’t like seeing Mauricio Umansky hug Kyle Richards on RHOBH

Garcelle didn’t hesitate to answer. 

“You know I don’t think they can come back from that,” she admitted sadly. “You know, that was so hard to watch.” And she’s right, it was pretty painful. The conversation in question was the one Kyle and Mau had after photos of him kissing another woman in Greece came out.

The woman in question turned out to be Nikita Kahn who he dated for a few months. And fans of RHOBH got to see the aftermath of that photo come out and how Kyle reacted. It wasn’t pretty.

On the show, Mauricio came over and they had an awkward conversation about the photo in their kitchen after Mau had skirted around it for several minutes. He finally said, “You know that I would never want to do anything on purpose to hurt you or the kids. I really am sorry for hurting you. I would never want to hurt you on purpose.”

Kyle tried to play it cool. She reiterated that they were both single and allowed to do what they wanted. And while she tried to pretend it didn’t hurt, she couldn’t help but cry. Mau moved over to hug her but it just seemed to make the whole thing even worse.

Garcelle is right. It was sad to watch. “And every time he hugs her, I almost feel like it’s a pity hug,” Garcelle added. “And it makes me sad. You know I hate to see her crying and him hug her. It just feels like … I don’t think they’re gonna come back. And you know I know her family’s really important so it makes me sad.”

She is right though. It doesn’t look like Kyle and Mau can come back from that and everything that has happened since, including Kyle’s inexplicable friendship with Morgan Wade, Mau partying with Anitta, or even his mystery brunette just recently at the Chateau Marmont.

Looks like it really is the end of their story.

The ladies are keeping the tea hot on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The cast is in the Caribbean island of St. Lucia and Bozoma Saint John is spilling about seeing Kyle Richards’ estranged husband Mauricio Umansky dining out with yet another woman.

She talked about how when she saw Mau, she quickly messaged Kyle to give her the lowdown. While Kyle and Mau aren’t divorced yet, they have been separated since late 2023. And Mau has made no secret of the fact that he is seeing other women.

Did Bozoma Saint John catch Mauricio Umansky with a new girlfriend?

“I went to SoHo house (and) I just happened to be seated across the table,” Boz shared. “And there is Mau with his girl. I texted Kyle in the moment: ‘GIRL!’ And I have her the full report.”

Kyle clarified that the “report” came in the form of a “three-and-a-half-minute long voice note.” Boz laughed at that and admitted to the ladies that “it was a real podcast.”

She then played the recording in her confessional. 

“Hey babe. Okay, so, full report. She is definitely not cute!” she said. “I mean, look, if you wanna do this, you gotta get, like, the cutest girl on the planet. Right?”

She continued, “Then, actually the entire time I was sitting there, they were there. I was just dreaming up scenarios where I could just push him into the water. Let me know what you want me to do because I will run up on a man.”

“And there you have it,” Boz concluded. “Now, that’s being a girl’s girl.”

Indeed, everyone needs a Boz in their corner.

As for Kyle, she was grateful for the message, she only had one correction. Mau wasn’t there with “his girl” but instead “a girl.” To which Sutton added, “One of.” Because this isn’t the first time Mau was with a girl.

He was seen with a mystery brunette at the Chateau Marmont by Kyle’s RHOBH castmates. And Andy Cohen recently questioned Anitta if she and Mau were dating. She said no, but it seemed suspicious.

Kyle Richards’ separation from her longtime husband, Mauricio Umansky, has played out on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And newbie Bozoma Saint John, who also had a complicated separation from her husband, is weighing in on the drama. Specifically, the photos of Mauricio kissing another woman in an airport in Greece.

Bozoma Saint John isn’t buying what Kyle Richards is selling after Mauricio Umansky airport photos

When the paparazzi shots surfaced of Mauricio locking lips with another woman, Kyle was stunned. So, once he returned from his vacation, Mauricio apologized to Kyle. Still, maybe a heads-up might have been nice.

For the first time, Boz and Kyle bonded over discussing their marital situations. Boz was separated from her husband, Peter Saint John when he received a terminal cancer diagnosis with only weeks to live. When Boz visited Peter at the hospital, his girlfriend was there. And Boz had a fiery reaction. “And girl, I lost my mind. I was like, ‘Get this b*tch out of here,’” Boz told Kyle.

During a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Boz explained why she wanted to see Kyle express her truth about Mauricio. “Part of the reason why I could identify with what Kyle was feeling about seeing the picture of Mau with that woman is I had felt very similar feelings of seeing my late husband with his new girlfriend. By the way, which I approved of,” Boz explained. “I told him to go do that, and then he did and I was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. No, I don’t like this at all.'”

Boz continued, “But, the thing is, you can be honest about those things. Like, at least for me in that moment I went to him [and] I told him, ‘I don’t like this, and I need you to get rid of her.'”

It seems that Boz had an unexpected reaction to Peter moving on. “And then he started moving on, and I was like, ‘Wait, hold on. I moved on, too, but I don’t like you moving on.’ And, you know what, it is a double standard.” She added, “Was it fair? No. But, it was my truth, so I had to admit that to him.”

Boz would like Kyle to be honest with Mauricio. “For Kyle, I feel like that is where she needs to be. She might be like, ‘Hey, look, it’s OK for me to do my little things over here, but I don’t like you doing your little things,'” Boz explained. “If that’s how she feels about it, just go ahead and be honest and say that. But, instead, you want to say, ‘It’s fine’ and ‘He should do his thing and I should do my thing‘ because you’re mad. So just be honest,” she added.

Mauricio Umansky from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is being put in the dating spotlight again. Looks like this is going to become a regular news item. This time the woman is Brazilian bombshell and singer Anitta who Mau spent time with Aspen. So are they two dating? 

Anitta appeared on Watch What Happens Live and host Andy Cohen tried to set the record straight. Although it honestly seemed even more ambiguous after she was done. Guess it’s mostly just whispers when it comes to Mau’s rumored dating history. Here’s what went down on WWHL.

Anitta appeared on Watch What Happens Live to address Mauricio Umansky girlfriend rumors

Andy didn’t mince words and asked Anitta what was going on between her and Mau and while her answer was direct, it also left room for interpretation thanks to her body language, small knowing smiles, and general caginess. 

Andy showed the photos from her time in Aspen with Mauricio, which included towels on the slopes and champagne-fueled shirtless dancing. When asked about it, Anitta cried that she knew this was coming. “He’s a great person, I love Mauricio,” she said.

She admitted that she had just met Mau the same day or the day before. She had fun with him while she was there with her friend Lele Pons. 

When asked if she and Mau keep in touch, the singer hesitated long enough to make it seem suspicious.

“We always talk, we became very good friends,” she admitted. The audience took this to have a hidden meaning which caused her to double down. “No, we became good friends!” Okay, sure.

Andy reminded her that Mauricio is single and asked if perhaps anything romantic had happened between them. Anitta said no but it seemed coy. When asked if she was dating someone, she also gave another coy response. “I don’t know,” she said. I mean, it’s not a no.

So I guess this is just another on the list of Mau’s potential hookups. He was photographed kissing Nikita Kahn in Greece and more recently canoodling with a mystery brunette at the Chateau Marmont. 

Wonder how Mau’s estranged wife, RHOBH star Kyle Richards is going to react to this.

Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is keeping fans glued to their seats. Kyle Richards is trying to navigate her separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky. Meanwhile, fabulous newbie housewife Bozoma Saint John joined the group. For Kyle and Bozoma, their relationship has been rocky from the start.

And one of the reasons why could be a newly activated Dorit Kemsley. The new Dorit confronted her friend, Kyle, repeatedly. Plus, Dorit is separated from PK Kemsley, her husband. During a recent episode of RHOBH, Kyle and Dorit finally discussed their marital issues, but it took forever to get to that point.

However, a true friendship blossomed between Boz and Dorit. They were confiding in each other from the jump. Plus they both have a passion for fashion. Still, their tight bond could have affected Boz’s view of Kyle.

Apparently, Kyle thought that everything was great between her and Boz. However, Boz had a completely different take on their relationship. Now, both Kyle and Boz have opened up to each other about their husbands. And this willingness to be vulnerable could be why Bozoma and Kyle could become friends.

Bozoma and Kyle got a rocky start on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Make no mistake. Boz had some issues with Kyle. When Kyle revealed that she was texting with Dorit’s husband, PK, all the ladies were surprised. At first, Kyle claimed it was only memes, but later read Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, and Sutton Stracke the text. And it certainly wasn’t a meme.

Of course, Boz was horrified because it was inappropriate and because Kyle lied about her friendship with PK. At Boz’s Sisterhood Serenity Soiree, she planned spa treatments, lunch, and a relaxing time for her guests. Then, Boz asked Kyle to read her the now-infamous text. And Kyle became tense in a hurry.

Finally, an emotional Kyle said that she would read the text one time. Afterward, she told the group, “I’m not going to be made to feel I’ve done something wrong. I’m done with this sh*t!” And then the RHOBH OG stormed out of Boz’s house in her bathrobe. As one does. For Boz, Kyle’s behavior was confusing, and she later waited in vain for an apology.  

However, this wasn’t the first time that Boz questioned Kyle’s actions. “My opinion on how Kyle is behaving is my opinion, and no one can tell me that that’s wrong. I think that Kyle was cold to me,” Boz previously stated. “I don’t take that back at all.” With a difficult start like this, it is no wonder that Kyle and Boz haven’t connected.  

Bozoma Saint John understands Kyle Richards’ shock over Mauricio Umansky’s paparazzi photos on RHOBH Season 14

During Season 14, Kyle has been a bit more open about her marital troubles. She remained in her house while Mauricio took an apartment. Still, she felt uncertain about what the future of their relationship looked like.

When photos dropped of Mauricio kissing a woman who was definitely not Kyle in an airport in Greece, Kyle was stunned. While some of her RHOBH co-stars thought that Mauricio set up the paparazzi photos, Kyle did not. However, she was caught off-guard because Mauricio never mentioned that he was dating.

After he returned from his trip, Mauricio went over to see Kyle and apologize. “You know that I would never want to do or … anything on purpose that would hurt you or the kids,” Mauricio said. “And I really am sorry for, you know, hurting you.”

However, for Kyle, some truths became clear. “The photos really did say to me he’s moving on,” Kyle said during a recent RHOBH confessional. “I think it makes it pretty clear that this is permanent. And I don’t think it’s going to be easy to come back from that.”

In truth, it seemed obvious to viewers that Mauricio was embracing his single life. Still, it would have been nice to give Kyle a heads-up that he was once again dating. I know – they were separated and could do their own thing. However, having your wife discover that you’re dating a model from paparazzi snaps isn’t the best look.

Finally, Boz and Kyle had a real heart-to-heart. Kyle confessed that Mauricio had just moved out of their home when she met Boz. Understandably, Kyle was overwhelmed at the time.

Then Boz shared the story of her marriage to her late husband, Peter Saint John. During the Season 14 premiere, Boz broke down her complicated marriage to Dorit. She started by explaining that she was a widow.

“The reason why I empathize is that 10 years into our marriage, we separated. We never got divorced,” Boz said. “But then he got sick, and we reconciled. He had cancer and, you know, it’s complicated,” the retired corporate marketing executive said.  

However, Boz was able to understand Kyle’s feelings about seeing Mauricio’s paparazzi photos. While she and Peter were separated, Boz went to his home to pick up their daughter, Lael. And there was a woman there that Boz didn’t know.

So, when Bozoma’s husband received a terminal cancer diagnosis, she went to the hospital to visit him. And Boz saw the same woman again, tenderly touching his head and kissing him. For Boz, it was a shock.

“And girl, I lost my mind,” Boz told Kyle. “I was like, ‘Get this b*tch out of here.’” These days, Boz is happily dating her boyfriend, Keely Watson, and hoping to have a family together.

As for Boz and Kyle? This deep conversation could open up the way for them to become friends. Stranger things have happened in Beverly Hills!
