The bonds among the women of Beverly Hills are constantly tested on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Recent drama involving Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump has further strained the fabric of their friendship.
The feud ignited after Richards accused Vanderpump of spreading rumors about her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky’s infidelity. This ignited a fiery online exchange, with Richards definitively shutting down any possibility of reconciliation. “I’m just so done with her trying to come for my marriage for 15 years now,” she declared.
Their fractured friendship dates back further, with whispers of Umansky’s alleged infidelity swirling around Season 5. Vanderpump fueled speculation by hinting at the affair on a podcast, while Richards maintained her innocence and accused Vanderpump of starting the rumors.

This was only further complicated by Vanderpump’s subsequent claim that Richards spread misinformation about fellow castmate Yolanda Hadid’s health.
Despite the persistent online barbs, Richards will be rejoining the cast for the upcoming season along with other familiar faces. While details surrounding her marital struggles will undoubtedly be addressed, the fate of her relationship with Vanderpump remains uncertain.
