Kyle Richards Will Likely NOT RETURN to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’
Amid swirling rumors and speculations, it appears that Kyle Richards is poised to bid adieu to the glitz and drama of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
During a recent appearance on Amazon Live on April 30, Kyle Richards addressed speculation about her status on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and responded to various rumors surrounding the show. When questioned about her potential return for season 14, Kyle stated, “I can’t confirm that right now.”
Kyle also dismissed the rumors of comedian Chelsea Handler joining the cast, saying,
“There’s always so many rumors. I really don’t believe that one at all. I would not hold your breath for that one.”
Amidst uncertainty about the season 14 cast, a report last month from the Daily Mail suggested that Kyle faced an ultimatum from producers related to Morgan Wade. Kyle refuted this claim, noting, “I don’t even know what I’m doing yet, guys, so that can’t be true.”
Reflecting on her time with past and present co-stars, Kyle revealed that Faye Resnick, a longtime family friend and former cast member, had been approached to return to the show but declined. She expressed fondness for the original cast from season one, which included notable figures like Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, and her sister Kim Richards. “The original cast was amazing … we’ve had so many great people,” Kyle reminisced.
Discussing her current relationships with fellow cast members, Kyle confirmed that her friendship with Dorit Kemsley remains strained, stating, “I haven’t seen her or spoken to her actually.” However, she has stayed in touch with Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne.
Following the departures of Annemarie Wiley and Crystal Kung Minkoff, Kyle was asked about other cast members who deserved a second chance.
“I really liked [Kathryn Edwards], [Diana Jenkins], and Annemarie. I don’t know, I would’ve liked to see more of them,” she responded.
Kyle also touched on her acting career, mentioning that she’s currently taking a break. Despite a recent movie release, she humorously admitted, “You know what’s funny, I just had a movie come out recently, and I never even watched it,” illustrating her relaxed approach to her film projects.
As reported, Mauricio has vacated their shared residence in favor of his own bachelor pad condominium. In addition, Kyle has changed her social media presence. She updated her Instagram profile, opting to remove her married last name, Umansky, from her bio.
“Kyle and Mauricio have been living separately for the last few months and he’s been staying there,” an insider shared with Us Weekly. “They’ve both been traveling a lot recently, so it’s working out where they don’t stay under one roof.”
During the 13th season of the Bravo reality series and in episodes of Mauricio Umansky’s Netflix show, Buying Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards and Mauricio candidly disclosed that they were no longer sharing a bedroom in their Encino residence. This revelation adds to the mounting speculation surrounding the state of their marriage, as fans and viewers continue to analyze every detail of their public and televised appearances for clues about their relationship.
