Kyle Richards shades Ashley Darby for ‘flirting’ with Mauricio Umansky
Kyle Richards lashed out at Ashley Darby’s “weird” attempt at flirting with her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky — despite not having seen the encounter.
“We actually talked about this the other day,” the “RHOBH” icon said in response to a fan’s question during an Amazon Live on Wednesday.
“I don’t know how it was portrayed because I haven’t seen the scenes,” she continued, according to a recording of the Amazon Live.
Richards, 57, noted that she “saw something on ‘Watch What Happens Live’” about the interaction, which happened during Umansky’s appearance on “The Real Housewives of Potomac.”
“I mean, if she was flirting, that’s weird,” Richards said.
“I would never … be able to date anybody that any of the women, Housewives, dated or were married to,” Richards continued. “That’s just weird.”
She added, “I don’t know. I’m like, ‘You’re embarrassing yourself doing that on camera.’ He just bumped into them, by the way.”
The reality TV star divulged that her “RHOBH” co-star Gizelle Bryant “texted [her] right away because she felt uncomfortable” after seeing Umansky.
“She was like, ‘Just so you know, we ran into Mauricio,” Richards continued. “I don’t care, you know. Everyone can just do what they want. I just thought ‘that’s embarrassing.’”
The Bravo star reiterated that she “didn’t really see” the interaction and therefore “shouldn’t really comment.”
Reps for Umansky and Darby did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Umansky and Richards separated after 27 years of marriage back in July 2023. The former couple — who share daughters Alexia, 29, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 18 — shut down speculation of “wrongdoing” in a joint statement at the time.
While admitting they’d had a “rough year,” they wrote that they “both love and respect each other tremendously.”
“There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part,” they continued, referencing dating rumors at the time involving Richards’ close friend Morgan Wade.
“Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately,” the statement continued. “While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
The former couple sparked reconciliation rumors after spending Thanksgiving as a family, then being spotted looking “very obviously together” at a star-studded New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colo.
“They were really enjoying one another’s company,” a source told Page Six. “They had their arms around one another and were very touchy and warm with one another all night.”
However, a source subsequently told Us Weekly that the former couple “are not getting back together or rekindling their romance.”
The source added, “They are genuinely friends right now and still have so much fun together.”
