During the early episodes of RHOBH season 14, Kyle made it clear that Morgan’s name was not to be uttered. However, a lot of time was spent discussing the country star during part 2 of the reunion, which aired on Tuesday, April 8 — and even Andy Cohen got involved.
“For people at home who are saying, ‘Wait, you’re on a reality show. You’re supposed to tell us everything.’ You would say what to them?” Andy asked.
Kyle said that if the conversation was going to “hurt” someone she cares about, then she doesn’t care about the backlash.
Questions about Kyle’s relationship with Morgan have been raised in the wake of her separation from husband Mauricio Umansky. During the RHOBH season 14 premiere in November 2024, Kyle told her costars that she’s “intentionally” not using Morgan’s name — but that didn’t stop it from being brought up by the other women.

Garcelle and Kyle’s Off Camera Convo
During part 1 of the reunion, which aired last week, Kyle alluded to having conversations with costar Garcelle Beauvais about Morgan — and they weren’t filmed for the show. Garcelle wanted to circle back once the women returned from lunch.
“It feels like you told me things off camera to shut me up,” Garcelle said on Tuesday.
Kyle was quick to share her side of the story.
“I told you off camera because it was stuff, I couldn’t say on camera,” she said. “I was just trusting you and sharing with you. It was my way of getting to a different level with you and showing that we’re friends, and I’m trusting you.”
Andy clarified that the conversation was about Morgan, which Garcelle confirmed.
Bozoma Comes to Kyle’s Defense
“I just don’t see why it’s not OK for you to say, ‘I’m not doing that.’ It is OK to say, ‘I’m not sharing,’” Bozoma Saint John said. “Stand in that. [Put] 10 toes down and you’re like, ‘I’m not gonna talk about it.’”
“That has nothing to do with our friendship,” Kyle said on Tuesday. “That was just a way of getting a dig in and saying something that’s going to create more issues for me out there.”
“I knew that Morgan had nothing to do with me pulling away from you,” Kyle said. “That comment bothered me because it just created another issue. I do apologize.”
Dorit speculated that “any time Morgan’s name is mentioned,” she thinks that Kyle hears about it from the singer. “She’s the one who introduced Morgan to this,” she added.
Kyle admitted to feeling “guilty” about bringing Morgan into the RHOBH world. “It causes her anxiety,” she said. This ended up going into a larger conversation about their fractured friendship — and things starting to repair.

Andy Enters the Chat
Andy appeared confused and noted that Morgan is a public figure.
“With singing and performing comes speculation about your life,” he continued. “You put music videos out there. … Well she also experienced greater publicity [from RHOBH] and greater attraction and interest as a result of this.”
Andy referenced Morgan’s August 2023 New York Times article before bringing up the music video in which Kyle played her love interest.
“I do just want to point out, putting out a music video that is the two of you as lovers, it contributed so [much] to a conversation that was already a runaway train,” Andy said. “That was totally in her hands, I have to say. At some point you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”
