Alexia Umansky, daughter of Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards, has publicly criticized her mother: “My mother is a vile woman for demanding 50%…”
In a shocking turn of events, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kyle Richards has found herself at the center of a growing family feud, as her daughter Alexia Umansky publicly denounced her in a fiery Instagram Live session on Monday evening. The outburst comes in the midst of ongoing divorce negotiations between Kyle and her estranged husband, luxury real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky.
Alexia, 27, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight compared to her more high-profile family members, appeared visibly upset as she accused her mother of being “manipulative,” “cold,” and—most controversially—“a vile woman for demanding 50% of everything my dad built.”
“I can’t stay quiet anymore,” Alexia began in the now-viral video. “My dad started The Agency from scratch, worked himself to the bone, and gave everything to this family. And now she wants to take half of it like she was out there doing open houses and late-night negotiations? No. I love my mom, but this is disgusting.”
Sources close to the family say that the divorce battle between Kyle and Mauricio has taken a bitter turn in recent weeks, particularly around the division of assets. While Kyle has long maintained that she supported Mauricio emotionally and financially in the early years of his business, Alexia’s comments suggest deep cracks in the family’s perception of her contribution.
“I’ve watched my dad skip vacations, miss birthdays, and still show up with a smile,” Alexia continued. “Meanwhile, my mom was booking girls’ trips and shooting Housewives confessionals. It’s not fair. It’s not right.”
Kyle has yet to respond publicly to her daughter’s accusations, but insiders claim she is “devastated” and “blindsided” by the attack. One family friend told Bravo Insider, “Kyle thought she and Alexia were close. This felt like a knife to the heart.”
The rift appears to go beyond money. Alexia hinted at deeper emotional wounds, alleging years of emotional manipulation and favoritism within the family. “She always played us against each other. I used to think it was just how she was raised, but now I see it’s part of her control.”
The Richards-Umansky family has long been held up as one of the more stable units in the Real Housewives universe, making this implosion all the more surprising. Kyle and Mauricio have been married since 1996 and share four daughters: Farrah (from Kyle’s previous marriage), Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.
Fans are already speculating whether this drama could make its way into the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, especially as Bravo producers are rumored to be “scrambling” to secure on-camera interviews with Alexia.
For now, the family remains silent—aside from Alexia, who ended her livestream with a haunting message: “Sometimes the real villain isn’t who the cameras show. Sometimes it’s the one behind them.”
Whether this is a momentary family rupture or a lasting fracture remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the Richards-Umansky dynasty may never be the same again.
