Kyle Richards clashed with Mauricio Umansky after he admitted that he didn’t know how many tattoos she had on Wednesday’s season premiere of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
The 54-year-old reality star and Mauricio, 53, had a tense conversation about her tattoos, including a matching heart with her rumored lesbian lover Morgan Wade, that illustrated their divide before announcing their separation in July after 27 years of marriage.
Kyle at home was miffed while overhearing Mauricio on the phone with his assistant Jane making travel plans.
Mauricio cut his call short and talked to Kyle about their calendars.
Kyle said she couldn’t go with him to Portugal for a trip Mauricio was taking during their 15-year-old daughter Portia’s spring break.

‘Mau and I have had a challenging year together. You know, he has been working nonstop. I’ve been working. When you have to schedule a meeting to go over your schedule, you know it’s a problem,’ Kyle said in a confessional.
Mauricio told Kyle that she looked ‘amazing’ and noted that she’d been ‘working out like a beast’, was eating well and stopped drinking.
‘Like, you’re changing your life,’ Mauricio said as clips showed Kyle undergoing grueling workouts.
Kyle commented in a confessional on her workout sessions.
‘When you go through painful times in your life, it changes you as a person. My sister, feeling let down by my friends, feeling disconnected from my husband, you know, you have to find an outlet. I feel good about it. And I hope, I hope Mau does, too, because here I am,’ Kyle said.
Mauricio noticed an ankle tattoo and laughed while asking, ‘How many tattoos do you have right now?’
‘Five,’ Kyle answered.
She then showed Mauricio her five tattoos on her wrist, forearm, ankle, heel and ribcage.

‘I only knew of three,’ Mauricio said.
‘Well, maybe you should be looking at my body closer,’ Kyle told him.
‘This is clearly a big symptom of not spending time together. Years ago, he would have noticed a freckle on my body, and now he doesn’t know that I have two more tattoos,’ Kyle said in a confessional.
Mauricio told Kyle that he thought she had enough tattoos.
‘Hmm, I don’t know. I think I’m gonna get another one,’ Kyle informed him.
‘Lovebean, that’s enough. Five tattoos is a lot,’ Mauricio said.
‘If I want to, I will,’ Kyle said.
‘I will not allow that,’ Mauricio said.

‘You don’t have a choice,” Kyle said. ‘I’m at a point in my life, I don’t have to explain anything to anybody anymore, including you. I went from doing everything my mom told me to do to being a mom myself and having to be a good example to my girls. And I just realized that you can do all that, and things can still go to s***. I don’t know if it’s what happened with my sister or what, but I just don’t feel like I have to answer to anybody.”
Kyle in a confessional admitted that she was irritated in her marriage.
Mauricio told Kyle that she didn’t have to become a ‘rebellios person’.
‘Listen, I am very f***ing clear right now. I’m not rebelling. I’m just really clear,’ Kyle said.
