Kyle Richards is under the gun. She’s feeling the heat, and it’s not just because of the Beverly Hills sun.
She was at a charity gala recently, with Mauricio Umansky. You know, her estranged husband? Yeah, it was on the Jan. 17 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Kyle was pretty open about how the public scrutiny was getting to her. It’s tough when you’re dealing with rumors about your marriage.
“I feel like every time I go to one of these events, there’s a lot of whispering and watching Mauricio and me,” she confessed. It’s a strange feeling, being watched like that. Like every move, every hand gesture is under a microscope. It’s a bit off-putting, to say the least.
This particular outing happened in April. Just three months before they dropped the bombshell. They were separating after 27 years.
Work was a big issue. Mauricio’s a busy guy, always on the go with his real estate gig. Kyle was hurt when he didn’t show up for the celebration of life she held for her late best friend, Lorene Shea. It was just the week before.
“Would it have meant something to me if all of a sudden he showed up at the event for Lorene?” Kyle pondered. “Of course it would have. He was close with her also.” It’s a tough spot to be in, no doubt about it.
