‘RHOBH’ Kyle Richards Reveals Consequences Of Fame & Money

All over the world, people dream of reaching fame through reality stardom. But Kyle Richards, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently warned fans that fame and money come with a price.
In a new interview, she admits that her life certainly changed once she gained worldwide recognition as Bravo star — but not all the changes were positive.
RHOBH‘s Kyle Richards Dishes On The Dark Side Of The Limelight
Kyle Richards recently appeared on Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast to discuss life’s many changes that accompany divorce. Her ex Mauricio Umansky previously appeared on the podcast and insisted they had a wonderful marriage at one point. Sadly, the pair went their separate ways, even though they still care about each other.
The Bravo star largely agreed with Mauricio there. According to Kyle, it wasn’t the show that ruined her marriage. It was all the attention that came along with it.

“Every situation, every marriage is different,” the RHOBH star shared. “For us, it had nothing to do with the show. We did the show together for many years, and we were fine through it … I was very happily married. The show did not affect us in that way at all.”
Kyle went on to add that Mauricio Umansky was always her rock during the challenging periods of her life. She noted “the money and the attention that comes with fame” certainly sparked tension in her marriage.
The Reality Stars Built A Life Together, Starting From Scratch
It’s not at all uncommon for reality television stars to have marital struggles while filming. The RHOBH stars are certainly no exception. But in the interview, Kyle admits Mauricio helped her navigate through the pressures that came along with the show. She recalled the early years of their marriage before reality television fame. And at the time, Mauricio’s real estate company was still in its infancy.
“Remember, we started out with nothing,” the Bravo star explained. “I had three kids and a two-bedroom apartment.”

Landing spots on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills marked a major turning point in their relationship.
“It opens up a whole other world. You know, you’re traveling, you’re going places, he’s getting attention that he didn’t get before, there’s more people looking at him all of a sudden, he’s a rich man … it’s a very different situation,” Kyle shared.
