Kyle Richards was spotted with her rumored flame, Morgan Wade, in Paris days ago amid the European leg of the country singer’s tour.
As she continues to deny a romance between them, the 56-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was photographed with the much-younger Morgan, 30, whose name she refuses to say on screen, as an insider doubled down on claims that she stormed off of the set of the season 14 reunion amid a discussion about her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, 54.
In a photo obtained by TMZ on March 25, Kyle and Morgan were seen enjoying an early afternoon visit to the Café de Flore, where they dined together for over an hour.
As for the drama surrounding Kyle’s rumored storm-off at the reunion, an insider previously told OK! Magazine that she had “walked off [the reunion set] twice.”
“She was crying half the time. The cast members brought up all the women Mauricio [Umansky] was seeing for years and they were not kind about it. They said Kyle was lying for years and knew for years, but kept the lie going for the show,” the insider alleged.
But during an appearance on Amazon Live, Kyle denied any such thing.
“I don’t even know if I want to say that, but I did not. I did not. I sat there, and I dealt with everything head-on. I did not walk off, but I hope I don’t get in trouble for saying that,” she shared, adding that she “stayed” and “answered my questions and handled all the things I wanted to discuss with the women.”
“That’s all I’m going to say about the reunion,” she added. “There are some rumors out there that are not true and some that are, and you guys will have to wait and see.”
Still, in response to the denial, another source spoke to OK! Magazine on March 21, insisting that there’s more to the story than Kyle is willing to tell.
“Kyle has walked off the reunion before at other reunions and it hasn’t aired — just because she’s saying she didn’t do it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen,” they noted, sharing that Kyle “can’t deny” walking off of other reunions because “so many” of the women have seen it for themselves.
“There was even one time she walked off of the set because all of the women refused to gang up on Kim Richards,” the source explained. “She wanted everyone to say bad things about her sister so she wouldn’t have to. She did similar things with Lisa Rinna and Kathy Hilton.”
Kyle can “try to deny” it, “as no one’s going to publicly go against her — especially if Bravo doesn’t air it — but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen,” they continued.
According to the insider, Kyle has tried “controlling the narrative for so many years” because she supposedly has a “producer credit” on the show. “Frankly, this just feels like another example of that.”
