RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Says She Needed ‘Freedom’ & ‘Space’ From Estranged Husband

RHOBH's Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky

In a preview for this week’s episode of RHOBH, Kyle Richards opens up about why she started spending less time with her now-estranged husband.

Kyle Richards is getting REAL about her marriage in a preview for this week’s episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

On this week’s episode, the RHOBH OG has a candid conversation with friend and co-star Dorit Kemsley about her marriage to her husband, Mauricio Umansky.

“I mean, have you had any thoughts recently? Like, do you think you would not end up with Mo?” Dorit asked.

The question clearly irritated and annoyed Kyle, who responded with a question of her own: “What makes you think this?”

“Well, like, even just from Instagram, you know, I usually see you and Mo together, and it just seemed like you were spending a lot of time away from each other,” the Beverly Beach designer said.

A bevy of Kyle’s recent Instagram posts featuring friends Teddi Mellencamp and Morgan Wade then flashes across the screen. Mauricio is noticeably absent from any of Kyle’s social media posts.

“I feel like I needed a little freedom — freedom and some space,” Kyle admitted.

The preview debuted on Friday’s episode of  “Live with Kelly and Mark,” where Kyle was a guest.

After watching the preview, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG admitted that had not seen the clip before and was “not thrilled with the questions” from Dorit.

“I wasn’t ready to address that stuff,” Kyle told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.

Ripa then asked Kyle if Dorit knew “what she was doing” by asking those questions.

Kyle teased that “it would’ve been better if she had asked me that off-camera.”

“Well, that particular day, I was really not happy,” she added. “I feel like you could definitely see that.”

The 54-year-old also revealed that she was “not quite” herself and was a “little angry” and a “little bitter” while filming season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Don't blame Dorit for noticing Kyle and Mo spending more and more time apart. She sees it in person and off camera and on social media. Kyle carves the attention, deserves attention from her husband and the same goes for Mo too. Common interests that kept them together for years are now going in different directions. They have time to fix it or continue on their different ways. Kyle and Mo should take time away from TV and find space with each other. Stop piling on the drama, TeddiBORE.

I still haven't decided if this is real or just PR, but I'm still leaning towards the latter. As usual, I'm skeptical of the timing ... the new RHOBH season, the struggling Selling Beverly Hills, the DWTS gig, and Kyle's investing in the ugly ink rat's career. Factor in that there no official (legal) separation, they have vacationed together, and still living under the same roof when they own 3 (or 10) properties.

Can we just cover this in one episode? UGH. I hope Mo finds happiness if this is the case. Just STFU Kyle. I used to like you.

“I mean, have you had any thoughts recently? Like, do you think you would not end up with Mo?” Dorit asked. This gave me MAJOR Raquel talking to Ariana vibes and I've never believed the Dorit/Mo rumors...until now.

I guess we are going to have to watch this entire made-up separation unfold over most of the season. Couldn't we just get it all out in one episode and then move on to something more real? Like Dorit's made-up separation from PK? LOL!!!

So, Kyle is responsible for starting the rumors cause there aren’t recent pictures of her & Mo on Instagram.
