Kyle Richards revealed that filming season 13 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a ‘difficult’ experience, as she discussed her future on the show in a new interview.
The latest season followed the reality star, 55, as her 27-year-long marriage to real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky, 53, began to crumble.
‘It was not easy shooting this season, and it’s certainly not easy watching it all back and having to relive it all again,’ she told ET Online ahead of next week’s finale.
‘I’m just sort of waiting for it to be over, to be honest. I feel like I’ve gotten through, like, the hardest parts, but then I have a little break… and then more difficult stuff comes up,’ she shared.
As for how much longer she’s planning to stay on the show, Kyle shared: ‘Obviously, one day the time will come where I say enough is enough.’

‘This season, when I was struggling so much personally and I felt like people were coming at me when I really just needed friends and support, I really thought, how can I continue to do this?’ she admitted.
‘Why would I put myself through this? I was already struggling so much in my personal life, why would I want to be tortured in front of the cameras, and then have to relive this again in six months?’
In the next episode Kyle is set to have an emotional conversation with her estranged husband, Mauricio, and their four daughters – Farrah, Alexia, Sophia and Portia – about their decision to separate.
Later at the reunion, taped a few weeks ago, Kyle will continue to answer questions about her marriage, though she admits she herself does not have all the answers yet.
‘I was honest you know with everybody, I just didn’t want to go into details on camera, which I was still working out the details in my head — and with my therapist,’ she said.
As of 2023, Richards is the last remaining original cast member of the series. She joined the show in 2010.
Now, the star has hinted her run on the show could soon come to an end.
‘Every year it’s like, should I? Should I?’ she said.

‘I remember years ago saying, after season 5, I’m not doing any more. Here I am. But, you know, right now it doesn’t sound so great. But I hate to even say that because who knows what I’m going to feel like in a month or two? I don’t know.’
‘Every season, like, do you leave on a high note, or was your season so bad you don’t ever want to come back again?’
‘I don’t know. I don’t have that answer.’
Elsewhere in the interview Kyle shed more light on the state of her relationship with Mauricio as they navigate their separation.
Richards said both she and Mauricio are ‘free to do what we want’ – a guideline which means they can both date other people.
The couple split up over the summer but have yet to file for divorce.
Speaking of her decision to finally call it quits and what their marriage currently looked like, she explained: ‘There was a turning point where I said, “Okay right now, I think I need to call it”. And we are free to do what we want.’
‘So we sort of came to that decision and we decided to stay in the same house and we’ve been able to manage that so far but have we said, “Yes we’re allowed to do what we each want to do?” Yes, we have.’

Both Kyle and Mauricio have been romantically linked to other people since the split, however Richards has long insisted the woman she has been seen with – country singer Morgan Wade – is just a friend.
Mauricio has also sparked dating rumors with several women, including his DWTS partner Emma Slater. Both have said they are not dating.
Speaking of Morgan, Kyle said: ‘She plays a very important role in my life, as do a lot of my friends.’
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills air on Wednesday nights at 8pm ET on Bravo.
