Transcript

00:00 Kyle Richards is slamming annoying rumors about her marriage troubles.

00:05 The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star addresses accusations

00:09 that she's fabricating her ongoing separation with husband of 27 years Mauricio Umansky

00:15 for ratings and relevance in a candid conversation with the Bravo series executive producer Alex

00:23 Baskin. During the November 14th inaugural episode of Baskin's new podcast Bravo's Hot Mike,

00:30 Kyle says, "What human being would create a story like this? No offense, Alex, I love you and

00:36 everybody with the show. Who would do that for ratings? Put their family through this? That is

00:41 one of the dumbest things I've maybe ever heard in these 13 years. I'm going to pretend that I'm

00:45 separated and torture my children so that people tune in?" The 52-year-old, who shares daughters

00:51 Farrah, Alexia, Sophia and Portia with the real estate mogul, continues, "When people talk about,

00:57 'Oh, they do these things to be relevant,' I'm already on the show 13 years. I care about being

01:02 relevant to my friends and family. Yes, I'm on television, but I'm good. I'm not looking to be

01:07 more relevant. I would never put my family through this, ever." Calling the rumors, quote, "so

01:12 annoying and so frustrating," the reality star adds, "I also hear a lot of things online that,

01:17 'Oh, Kyle and Mauricio, they have an open marriage, that Kyle's only with him for the money. He had

01:22 no money when I married him, you idiots. He didn't have any money. She just stays there and puts up

01:27 with all this so that she can just keep spending his money. First of all, it's our money that he

01:32 didn't have before.'" Kyle's candid admissions come amid her and Mauricio's marriage troubles

01:37 playing out on the current season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since announcing

01:42 they separated back in July, the longtime couple have revealed their future together remains a

01:48 question mark as they figure out what they both want in the end. The Real Housewives

01:53 of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
