Los Angeles, California – Erika Jayne is hoping for an intense confrontation between Andy Cohen and Kyle Richards during the upcoming “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion. Jayne expressed her desire for Richards to face tough questions about her relationship with her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky. The request comes after Jayne herself faced intense scrutiny during the Season 11 reunion, where she was grilled about her own divorce from ex-husband Tom Girardi and his legal troubles.
During a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Jayne told Cohen that she wants everyone to receive the same treatment she did, adding that while Richards is a dear friend, fairness is important. Cohen reminded Jayne that he had already asked Richards about her relationship with Umansky in a previous appearance on his show, to which Jayne responded positively.
Jayne’s request comes after Umansky confirmed in July 2023 that he and Richards were taking time apart. However, he later clarified that they were still working on their relationship and not throwing in the towel just yet.
Richards, on the other hand, recently appeared on “WWHL” after the premiere of “RHOBH” Season 13 and admitted to being taken aback by photos of Umansky holding hands with his “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Emma Slater. Despite the rumors, Richards emphasized that she and Umansky are just close friends.
While Richards celebrated her 55th birthday with country singer Morgan Wade, who she refers to as one of her “best, best friends in the world,” Umansky took to social media to give her a birthday shout-out. The couple continues to support each other publicly, although they have not been seen spending quality one-on-one time together.
Overall, Jayne wants to see Richards face tough questions during the reunion, particularly about where she stands with Umansky amid their separation. It remains to be seen how the reunion will play out and if Richards will provide the transparency Jayne is hoping for. The fates of these relationships will undoubtedly be a focal point for fans of the show.
