Reasons Kyle Richards And Mauricio Umansky's Split Doesn't Surprise Us

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Thursday, May 9, 2024

Fans were shocked recently when rumors and innuendo began to swirl around Mauricio Umansky and his wife's bestie/castmate Dorit Kemsley. The flames were fanned when former "friend of the show" Dana Wilkey made a provocative Instagram post that featured the two embracing in a photoshopped image. Apparently made after witnessing a peculiar scene on an episode of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Wilkey wrote a caption that said in part, "The fans can't stop talking about this! Thoughts?"

The scene in question was shot at the Umanskys' home, where Kemsley had gone to seek support after experiencing a violent home invasion. When Kemsley's husband Paul Kemsley arrived there fresh off a flight from London, she embraced both men simultaneously and appeared to kiss Umansky tenderly on the shoulder during the threeway hug. This did not go unnoticed by fans, who quickly jumped on social media to discuss the situation. 

In an effort to dispel the rumor, a disgusted Kemsley commented on the post and appeared on "Watch What Happens Live," where she vehemently denied an affair. "It's something that sticks a chord only because Mau, PK, Kyle, and I, we're friends together, and it is such a nothing, and to have someone start those vile rumors, it's gross" (per Us Weekly).
