Reality TV star Kyle Richards recently shed light on why her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky was primarily showcased on the Netflix series Buying Beverly Hills rather than on the current season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). Richards, 55, addressed fan questions during an Amazon Live session, where she shared insights into her personal life and the queries concerning the coverage of her separation from Umansky, 

Kyle Richards reveals why her separation from Mauricio Umansky was detailed on Buying Beverly Hills

Responding to inquiries about her appearance on the second season of Buying Beverly Hills, Richards revealed that she would indeed be part of the show's upcoming season. She explained that a deal between Netflix and Bravo facilitated her involvement. 

Further, Richards then delved into the reasoning behind the detailed coverage of her split with Umansky, 53, on Buying Beverly Hills and the limited portrayal on RHOBH. She clarified that the decision to address their separation occurred after the RHOBH filming had concluded. 

The revelation coincided with Netflix cameras being present during a trip to Aspen, prompting discussions about their relationship on Buying Beverly Hills. 

"That is because, for anyone who's confused, [the decision to separate] happened after we were done filming [RHOBH]. The story came out, and then Netflix cameras happened to be in Aspen, so they ended up filming with us talking about it. Obviously, Bravo's been following my life for 13 years. It's not like [Netflix] can film that scene, and then I don't share it with the Housewives, so we ended up shooting both of those scenes for Buying Beverly Hills and [RHOBH] after we were all wrapped [on season 13 of RHOBH],” Richards explained.
