AceShowbiz - Kyle Richards has broken her silence after Mauricio Umansky was caught on camera packing on the PDA with Emma Slater amid their split. While they have been separated for a while now, the reality TV star admitted that seeing the photos "hurt" her feelings.
The Bravolebrity got candid on her reaction to the PDA pictures during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" on Wednesday night, October 25. "That's very hard to see ... that hurt my feelings," she said while sitting down with Andy Cohen following the season 13 premiere of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".
Asked if she thinks something is going on between Mauricio and Emma, she answered, "I just don't think you hold hands like that [if you're friends]." Despite being hurt by Mauricio's PDA with Emma, Kyle assured that she loves the real estate agent "very much" and that they're "amicable."
Kyle also confirmed that she removed all posts promoting "Dancing with the Stars", on which Kyle currently competes and is partnered with Emma. However, she said she still voted for him and even has proof of it.
Of the PDA-packed outing, sources also told TMZ that Mauricio explained to Kyle he was overtaken with emotion while talking to Emma about fond memories of getting married to the "Halloween" actress. But Kyle isn't buying it and feels their affectionate display "super disrespectful."
Mauricio and Emma were photographed holding hands after their dinner date at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills on Sunday, October 22. An eyewitness told Page Six that after enjoying their meals, the pair headed to an outdoor bar where they shared a few kisses.
The twosome looked getting cozy as they were walking hand-in-hand in the parking lot after spending three hours inside the restaurant. They seemed to have a blast as Mauricio was able to make Emma laugh. She was also spotted with her arm around his waist at one point.
Mauricio confirmed his split from Kyle in September after months of speculation. He told E! News at the time, "We're public figures and the reality is we are separated right now. We are going through a really difficult time. It's been a struggle. We are not ready to throw in the towel. We are still working on our marriage and we're not in a rush."
