‘RHOBH’ Star Kyle Richards Nearly Left The Hit Reality Show
For more than a decade, fans have gotten a glimpse into how some of the wealthiest people in the world live. It’s all thanks to the hit reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Living in the 90210 is something most folks only dream of, so the next best thing is following the lives of those who do. Someone who’s certainly been stirring up the pot over the last handful of years is Kyle Richards. Her life has been different since her husband, Mauricio Umansky of 27 years, moved out. Richards recently talked to US Weekly about her new life and why she nearly left the show.
Why Kyle Richards Almost Left ‘RHOBH’
Going through a divorce isn’t easy for anyone. Being someone in the public eye likely makes it ten times worse. However, that’s not why Richards felt like taking a break from filming. She talked about how being constantly in the spotlight made her feel as though everyone was attacking her from some sort of angle. Richards said:
“These last two years have been the most difficult of my life, and I didn’t want to put myself through the scrutiny. I didn’t feel supported by a lot of the cast, so I felt like I wanted to disappear for a while.”
It’s perfectly normal to wish you could vanish into a cabin in the woods to avoid social interactions. This is especially true when you’re going through the toughest stretch of your life. However, after thinking about it long and hard, Richards decided that isolation wouldn’t be what’s best for her. She further explained:
“We have a lot of fun times, too, and the producers are family to me at this point, so I knew that would be another loss for me. My husband was just about to move out.”
Richards knew that she’d likely miss the producers and her other co-stars after a few weeks. She realized she’d need to lean on them during these challenging times. Even though things aren’t always smooth sailing for Richards on the show, she understands the cast and crew will always be there for her.

Will Kyle Richards And Mauricio Umansky Reconcile?
Richards also opened up about the fact that her and Umansky aren’t technically divorced yet. He has only moved out, and the couple is looking into what their next steps are. The reality TV star candidly said:
“I don’t know what the future holds right now with Mauricio and me. We love each other. So that part is easy. What’s not easy is figuring out what’s next. We’re not divorced; he doesn’t live here, but we’re still figuring things out. On the show, people felt they were owed answers and thought I was withholding stuff — but I’m figuring it out myself.”
Sometimes, the best thing a couple can do when trying to reignite the spark between them is to have some time apart. This helps them realize how valuable the other person is. There’s no telling what’s going to happen between Richards and Umansky, but fans hope to get answers soon. What are your thoughts about Kyle Richards officially coming back to RHOBH?
