Kyle Richards Reacts to Dorit and PK Kemsley's 'Difficult' Separation and Admits She Was 'Torn' About 'RHOBH' Return
Kyle Richards said she feels “terribly for” Dorit and PK Kemsley.
Kyle Richards dished on her return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after a tumultuous season and broke her silence on her co-star Dorit Kemsley's separation from her husband, PK, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Richards, 55, filmed the Bravo franchise while going through an emotional split with her significant other of nearly 30 years, Mauricio Umansky, so she knows a thing or two about navigating a breakup while the world watches.
Kyle said she was "torn" about returning to 'RHOBH' after her hard season.
Richards expressed compassion for her on-again, off-again bestie's situation while confirming she's "back filming" for Season 14 and calling her decision to return "much harder" than previous years.
“I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that,” she said on Amazon Live this week. "But oh, well. What are they gonna do to me?”
"I was torn just because it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the show, and last year was hard,” Richards explained. “I really wanted to get back to having some fun on the show, and I just needed some more time since the reunion.”
While Umansky has moved out of the $10 million mansion they shared for 28 years and into a bachelor pad, Richards teased that fans shouldn't count him out on future RHOBH appearances.
Kyle addressed Dorit and PK's recent separation news.
“I’m sure he will [appear this season] because, you know, he is obviously family,” she said of her real estate broker ex. That's when she addressed Dorit and PK's separation after nine years of marriage.
The pair announced their split on May 9 after months of speculation there was trouble in paradise.
Richards said she feels “terribly for” Dorit and PK.
“I feel bad for them,” she shared. “Going through that is difficult enough without everybody wanting to know all the details.”
