Watch Kyle Richards, family complain about Bravo ‘picking up cameras again’ to film split ‘scandal’ for ‘RHOBH’

An exasperated Kyle Richards was caught on camera informing her family that Bravo wanted to recommence filming for “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after her split from Mauricio Umansky.

Richards revealed to her four daughters, Farrah, Alexia, Sophia and Portia, that she had to “go back to shoot” Season 13 of her reality show after the news of her separation from Umansky broke in July 2023.

“Because everything that happened with this — I’m going to call it a ‘scandal’ — if something goes on in our lives like this, they’re going to obviously go shoot that even though we’re wrapped,” the OG “Housewife” explained in a clip from Umansky’s Netflix show, “Buying Beverly Hills,” which premiered its second season Friday.

“If something goes on in our lives like this, they’re going to obviously go shoot that even though we’re wrapped,” she told Mauricio Umansky and her daughters. Netflix

Umansky, 53, and all four children were curious to find out who Richards, 55, would be shooting with, which she avoided answering before apologizing for “blindsiding” them.

“Coming out of the blue, what happened and kind of just blindsiding all of us, I know was a lot, and first of all, I’m really sorry, you guys, you have to deal with that,” she said.

Farrah, 35, interrupted by telling her mom she had nothing to be sorry about.

“I really am sorry about that because it’s not fair to you guys, but I’m just so used to it,” Richards told her daughters. Netflix

“But I am,” Richards said. “I really am sorry about that because it’s not fair to you guys, but I’m just so used to it.”

Sophia, 24, then chimed in by saying “this time was different” and her phone was “blowing up” with everyone reaching out about the split.

“I opened Instagram, and it was everywhere, like, it felt different this time,” she said. “And it was definitely hard feeling like maybe I don’t know the whole story.”

Sophia said she felt like she did not know “the whole story.” Netflix
Portia agreed, asking, “Is there something we’re not in the know of?” Netflix

Portia, 16, also agreed that she was “freaked out” when she first saw the news.

“I was like, ‘OK, this is weird,’ and, like, is this actually happening? Is there something we’re not in the know of?” she wondered.

Richards noted that her kids probably “automatically” assumed that she and Umansky were getting a divorce.

“Exactly,” Portia said.

Alexia, 27, then addressed the difficulties of being in the public spotlight amid their family woes.

“Unfortunately, the reality of what our life is is that we have opened up our family and our home to the public eye,” she said in a confessional before tearing up.

“We owe so much of our life and our success to the connections we have made and the experiences we’ve had, and it’s brought so much good into our life,” she continued. “But in moments like this, it’s hard.”

Alexia said many people tell her and her sisters that they “deserve” the attention surrounding their family drama because they “chose” to be on reality television.

“That’s not fair either,” she argued.

Rumors first swirled in April 2023 that Richards and Umansky’s marriage was on the rocks when the actress was spotted without her wedding ring, though she swiftly shut down the gossip at the time.

“Kyle and I are human beings, OK? We have emotions, we have feelings, we’re going through a really hard time, OK?” he told TMZ at the time. “We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately.”

Amid the news of their separation, Richards continuously sparked dating rumors with her close pal Morgan Wade after repeatedly hanging out together.

However, the Bravolebrity has repeatedly insisted they are just friends.

Meanwhile, Umansky and his “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Emma Slater, spurred romance rumors last October when they were caught holding hands, but they both denied they were dating and said they had just become good friends.

Richards and Umansky tied the knot in 1996 and welcomed Alexia, Sophia and Portia together.
