Sutton Stracke has rehashed rumors that Mauricio Umansky was unfaithful — and his estranged wife, Kyle Richards, is far from happy about it.
During the Tuesday, January 14, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: After Show, Richards, 56, revealed that she had words with Stracke, 53, about resurfacing the rumors, as seen in Tuesday’s episode of the Bravo reality show.
Sitting down for a chat with her RHOBH costar Erika Jayne, Richards said Stracke tried to explain her actions once the cameras stopped rolling. “Later, she said to me, ‘I don’t know why I said that, I got so confused,’” Richards recalled to Jayne, 53, before adding, “Do I believe that was an actual accident? Absolutely not.”
During Tuesday’s RHOBH, Stracke claimed over dinner with fellow Housewives that Richards “had infidelity” in her marriage to Umansky, 54. (Richards and Umansky were married for 27 years before separating in July 2023 and denying any “wrongdoing” throughout their marriage despite cheating rumors that arose after the split.)

At the dinner table, Stracke said, “Let’s not forget that part,” referring to the rumors, to which Richards responded, “What part? … Who did?” Stracke responded, “With Mau. You’ve talked about him,” referring to Richards’ breakdown in season 13 when she admitted to losing her “trust” in Umansky.
During Richards’ reflection on Stracke’s choice to resurface the rumors, she told Jayne on the After Show, “I thought that we were good friends and that we’d fixed things and now, I’m not feeling like I can really trust you at all. She already apologised to me profusely over the comments last year [in season 13] about the ring that I had bought myself.” (Richards purchased a ring which sparked questions from the RHOBH cast including Garcelle Beauvais who asked if it was a “make-up band” from Umansky.)
Richards added, “And she actually apologised to Mau and Alexia in New York City when she bumped into them and now she does it again. I’m like, we’re friends. Why are you doing that?”
Jayne was quick to offer her honest response to Richards’ question. “But are you? I think it’s a one-way friendship,” she told Richards, who then admitted that her friendship with Stracke has been affected by her most recent comments. “She put herself in that moment and … I won’t be sharing or trusting you like I thought I could and obviously a wall goes up for me.”
