RHOBH’s Kyle defends Mauricio for missing friend’s memorial
Instagram: realityblurbMauricio Umansky received criticism for not showing up at an event honoring Kyle Richards’ friend, but she explained why he couldn’t make it.
On The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards had a “Celebration of Life” event honoring the passing of her best friend, Lorene Shea.
Kyle’s closest family and friends all attended, but the one person who didn’t come was her husband, Mauricio Umansky.
The RHOBH cast wondered why Mauricio wasn’t there, and suspected that it was because Kyle and Mauricio weren’t in a good place in their marriage.
Kyle claims Mauricio offered to come to the event
On the RHOBH After Show, Kyle explained the reason why Mauricio couldn’t go to the “Celebration of Life” event for her friend Lorene.
“He was out of town, you know, he also loved Lorene, he really did. And she loved him so much. So, I was like, listen, when the date that we chose coincided with something that he already organized and our schedules have lately not been in sync, so it’s been hard enough as it is,” she explained.
Kyle shared the After Show clip on her Instagram story and wrote, “I wanted to clarify this… I did many times but then I guess I need to again. Mo offered to cancel his trip many times. Even though there were many people involved in this trip. I told him he did not need to do that.”
The RHOBH star continued, “The date of the event was changed last minute and none of the other men were attending. I had a lot of support around me that night. It’s not fair to put that on him.”
While the other women on RHOBH thought that Mauricio intentionally skipped Kyle’s event for Lorene, they ended up being wrong.
Even though Kyle and Mauricio are separated, they are always there for each other and are trying to keep heir family together.
Kyle is choosing to remain close with Mauricio for their daughters, even if they decide to split for good.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
