<p id=”par-1_73″>Kyle Richards spent most of season 14 of <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/”>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</a></em> tiptoeing around Mauricio Umansky and his less-than-stellar behavior. Kyle’s demeanor seemed so meek that even her co-stars felt the need to call her out for excusing Umansky. That didn’t change at the recent reunion, but Richards was finally forced to confront rumors that Mauricio Umansky cheated on her during <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kyle-richards-opens-up-about-mauricio-umansky-split-she-blames-social-media-and-women.html/”>their 27-year-long marriage</a>. She still offered a non-committal answer, though.</p>

<p id=”par-2_47″>Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky split in 2023 after 27 years as husband and wife. While the couple tried to present a united front on <em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em>, there have been longstanding rumors about Umansky.

<p id=”par-4_65″>Rumors that Mauricio Umansky cheated on Kyle Richards throughout their marriage are nothing new. Followers have speculated about it, and co-stars have let things slip, too. Richards, herself, has been accused of fanning the flames of speculation before she decided to do an about-face and act shocked by the allegations. Andy Cohen called her out on exactly that during the show’s most recent reunion special.</p>
<p id=”par-5_62″>In part 3 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion, Andy Cohen broached the topic of Umansky’s rumored infidelity. He called out Richards for acting shocked when Sutton Stracke brought up the longstanding rumors. Cohen noted that Richards had alluded to cheating after announcing her separation, although she never came right out and said her husband was a cheater.</p>
