Kyle Richards Addresses Those Morgan Wade Headlines: "Another Level"
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards is speaking out about the rumors on her BFF, Morgan Wade.
Kyle Richards doesn't mind what people say about her friendship with BFF Morgan Wade. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member has been open about sharing so much of her life on the show over the past 14 seasons, so it's safe to say that nothing phases her anymore — not even the rumors about her and the country music singer.
Kyle addressed these rumors during an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Mark on Monday, Nov. 11. The mom of four was asked about how she handles "the gossip" and if it's weird for her family, and Kyle responded by explaining that things have been hard on her kids, especially as she goes through her separation from estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky.
"My daughters and my family, we're used to seeing stories and stuff, but obviously this was another level," Kyle said. "So it really was just sitting down and talking to them about stories that are out there and...they're obviously my first priority."
"As long as they're OK, I don't care what people say," she concluded with a laugh. "People can say whatever they want about me."
Kyle Richards says she "tunes out" the Morgan Wade rumors
Kyle's comments come on the heels of her recent trip to South Africa with Morgan. They had traveled to South Africa to go on a safari before Morgan performed at the Cape Town Country Festival in Cape Town.
Prior to this, Kyle opened up to Us Weekly about how she reacts when people see her attending one of Morgan's shows. "They get excited, I tune it out," she explained. "I've been called so many names. People weigh in on arguments on the show even though they don't know the backstory. People have speculated about my marriage and my sexuality. I let most of it go, but sometimes you're like, 'Come on. Give me a break.'"
Kyle Richards says Morgan Wade was "overwhelmed" by RHOBH
Even though Morgan briefly appeared on RHOBH Season 13, Kyle told Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea that Morgan had to take a step back from spending so much time with her. This is due in part to Morgan not wanting to be on camera, and Kyle was filming RHOBH Season 14.
"I think she just didn't want any part of anything to do with my role [on] reality television and all that came with it," she said in the Monday interview. "And, you know, the paparazzi and all that was very overwhelming. So I understood that and respected that...I'm an open book, but I cannot speak to other people's lives of experiences when they have not signed up to do this and don't want to be a part of this...I think anybody would be overwhelmed in that situation."
Viewers will be able to see more of Kyle when RHOBH Season 14 kicks off with a supersized premiere on Bravo on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
