'RHOBH' Star Kyle Richards Breaks Down When Talking About Her Separation, 'This is Not My Ideal Fairytale, Clearly'
Kyle has allegedly hired divorce lawyers and is ready to pull the trigger on her marriage.
Kyle Richards, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, recently opened up about her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky during a panel in Las Vegas, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Speaking at BravoCon, Richards, accompanied by co-star Annemarie Wiley, addressed the "misconceptions" surrounding their split before breaking down about how her marriage wasn't the "fairytale" she thought it was.
Kyle was asked by the panel host where she and Mauricio "stand" at the moment. The Bravo star answered, "We love each other very much, and we are family no matter what happens, and we have a very strong family unit."
She talked about how her three girls still live at home and how she struggles to figure out "who's going to be home for dinner tonight."
Returning to her ex, she brought up how he's been busy on Dancing With the Stars and how he "wasn't around as much."
After reiterating that they love each other, she had to turn the mic away as she began to choke up, only to be comforted by the host of the panel.
The crowd began to chant her name as Kyle returned to the mic to say, "A lot of people think, you know, 'what are you doing, just pull yourself together, fix everything,' obviously that's what I want. This is not my ideal fairytale, clearly."
She then turned to the crowd and her co-stars to show her appreciation for their "support."
