Kyle Richards was frozen in place by a rat on her car: ‘why is it looking at me like that?’

kyle-richards-was-frozen-in-place-by-a-rat-on-her-car:-‘why-is-it-looking-at-me-like-that?’




Beverly Hills Housewife Kyle Richards found herself captive in her car on Monday. While quietly enjoying a coffee and scrolling through emails on her phone, Richards was startled by something hitting her car. She tracked the noise to the driver’s side-view mirror, where she found the beady eyes of a very inquisitive looking rat staring right back at her. At which point she proceeded to flip the f–k out. Frozen in place with fear — she did not want the rat to stay, but she didn’t want to hurt the fella either — Richards took the 21st century approach to dealing with a situation: she filmed the encounter to post on Instagram later. And bless her for it, because her video (also below) had me howling with laughter.

Kyle Richards just wanted to sit in her car in peace and scroll through her phone. Apparently, so did a rat.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member shared a video in which she was seated in her car, when a rat jump scared her and parked itself right next to her side-view mirror.

“Oh my God,” Richards says multiple times in the video, along with a generous amount of cursing.

“Please help me. What is happening?” she said with her voice shaking. “I’ve got to get out of my car!”

At one point, she knocks on the window, asking a passerby, “I need someone to help me here.”

“I needed that man to help me, but he didn’t hear me knock,” she said.

Richards posted the entire — hysterical — video on Instagram, explaining that she could not start the car because the mirror would automatically move and potentially crush the rat.

“This happened to me today. I stopped for coffee & was sitting in my car looking at emails,” Richards wrote on Monday. “Now, before you judge my reaction (yes, a disclaimer is coming) know that at first my passenger side window was DOWN and I was afraid to put my car in reverse because my rear view mirrors would move potentially creating a worse scenario. And I was too afraid to put my legs down where the gas pedal is in case there was a point of entry down there. I also couldn’t feel my legs.”

Commenters flooded her feed with ideas, suggesting she take the cuter-than-your-average rat home.

“He would not leave!” Richards commented about the Southern California rodent. “Maybe five minutes after I stop the video he dropped down and I did not know where to! So I zoomed out and had to pull over and park for 20 minutes until I could feel my legs again.”

CNN warns us that the video is hysterical. CB warned me personally that the video is hysterical. And still, reader, I was not prepared for what I saw. I was laughing and wheezing so hard that I started crying and my dog came over to try and console me. The setup is already ripe for going viral, but that particular rat is straight out of central casting. It’s Ratatouille! I live in NYC, where the rodents of unusual size have been transplanted from The Princess Bride and resettled in the MTA subway system (and not just on the tracks, platforms too). So when Richards first pans the camera to face the critter, I was fully expecting one of the rotund, wily pests I commute with every day. But the face on that little Southern California rat, oh that face! To answer Richards’ question, that face is looking at her like that to say:

“Excuse me, kind-hearted friend. I see you’ve got some of that lovely coffee from the fine establishment just over there. But you see, due to a regrettable set of circumstances, beginning with the accident of my birth in this form, I am not permitted to enter said fine establishment. This is indeed quite unfortunate, as you see I’ve become quite fond of, one might even say addicted to that invigorating substance caffeine, which I detect traces of in so many of the scraps your species so helpfully leave strewn about. Well, all of that is to say, would it be terribly forward of me to ask to share in your beverage this morning? Or, barring that, might I remain tucked in this crevice for a spell? It is an ever so comfortable 45-degree angle.”

Anyway, kids, moral of the story: no situation is too scary that you can’t whip out your phone and document it for social media.

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky have separated after 27 years of marriage

kyle-richards-&-mauricio-umansky-have-separated-after-27-years-of-marriage

Almost every marriage exhibited on a Real Housewife franchise ends in divorce, but there were always a handful of couples who managed to break the curse. People thought Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were one of those couples. Kyle has been on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since 2010. She had one of the more stable marriages. But it’s over… after 27 years together. The exclusive came out during the Independence Day holiday here in America, so there was an attempt to bury the news.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have separated after 27 years of marriage, PEOPLE confirms. A source close to the pair tells PEOPLE: “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof. They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”

Richards, 54, first met Umansky, 53, at a nightclub in 1994. At the time, Richards was divorced from her first husband Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she had daughter Farrah Brittany (née Aldjufrie), 34.

After getting engaged later that year, the couple tied the knot in January 1996 and went on to welcome three daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23 and Portia, 15.

In 2010, their family was officially introduced to the public when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered on Bravo. As Richards became a mainstay on the reality show for the last 12 seasons, the pair frequently insisted to fans that they were seeing their real relationship play out on the show.

“We’re the same, with or without cameras. We’re just super real and we know each other and we’re real,” Umansky told PEOPLE in March 2013. “We don’t have any secrets to hide. That’s one thing we talked about, the skeletons in the closet, and we can handle our worst skeletons.”

[From People]

Notably, Mauricio made a point of posting social media photos on the Fourth of July showing that they were spending the holiday together with their children. This seems less like a “reality show curse” and more like two people who grew apart over time, especially with most of their kids out of the house. Portia is their only minor child now. Anyway, the RHOBH fans were really shaken up by this news.

Kyle Richards keeps denying Ozempic use, says Erika Jayne is ‘way skinnier than me’

kyle-richards-keeps-denying-ozempic-use,-says-erika-jayne-is-‘way-skinnier-than-me’




Kyle Richards has been sober for almost a year. In that time she’s also lost a noticeable amount of weight. As soon as she started posting pics of her slimmed-down physique, people started commenting that she must have been on Ozempic. Kyle denied those rumors, but it also seems like she’s protesting too much. At this point Kyle has been talking about not using Ozempic since January. Like Peridot said in this story from March, I think her continued denials about Ozempic are making the association even stronger. Well, now she’s at it again, talking to Page Six about how she lost weight (not from Ozempic!!) and getting a swipe in at Erika Jayne.

Kyle says she’s never taken Ozempic because she has anxiety: “I can say that I have never tried it and I have never taken it,” Richards, 54, told Page Six. “I’m not on any weight loss drug. If you know me, you know I have terrible anxiety so that would scare me to death. I have never, ever ever taken it.”

Other Bravo stars have admitted to taking the drug: Although Richards went about her weight loss the old-fashioned way, many of her fellow Bravolebrities have admitted to using the drug — such as Dolores Catania, Jennifer Fessler, and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi. Other celebs, including Richards’ “RHOBH” castmate Erika Jayne, were also accused of using the drug for weight loss purposes. “I don’t know about Erika, I have no idea, but I’m wondering why don’t people talk about her enough, she’s way skinnier than me,” Richards quipped. “I’m like, ‘Why are people talking about me?’ I’m so confused because she’s really lost a lot of weight.”

She made a lot of lifestyle changes, including getting sober: “What I don’t want to get lost in this is that I want to be able to inspire people,” she told Page Six in February, noting that she had to completely change her lifestyle to reach her dream physique. “I stopped drinking almost seven months ago, I don’t eat bad, sugar, pizza, donuts, carbs … so I’d rather be inspiring than people making up stories about me,” she continued. The reality star alleged that she also lost weight by working out for “two hours every day.”

[From Page Six]

First of all, I think it’s funny how Kyle uses this opportunity to be petty about Erika. I’m not super up-to-date on the Real Housewives shows but I’m guessing they don’t like each other. I’m going to shock some people by saying this, but judging by her physique, I do not believe Kyle is on Ozempic. I think she’s not on it because she has really good muscle tone. One of the downsides of Ozempic is that it can cause you to lose muscle along with body fat. For the people who need it to manage diabetes, this side effect is worth the trade. But I just don’t believe that Kyle is taking a semaglutide drug that suppresses her appetite while working out for two hours a day. Also, I looked it up and anxiety symptoms are not listed as a common side effect of Ozempic. But as someone who has suffered from multiple anxiety disorders, I get what Kyle’s saying. I’m also anxious (LOL) about how different medications could affect me.

It sounds like what really happened is that Kyle got sober, found a good trainer, and is on a strict diet. Getting sober is a great thing and I’m happy for Kyle that she’s made that change. I don’t think cutting out all “carbs” is necessarily balanced or healthy, because demonizing foods and food groups as “bad” can really backfire. But if you did all three of those things at once, the results could be pretty dramatic. She also had breast reduction surgery sometime in 2022, which Andy Cohen “accidentally” revealed on the air. That could also contribute to Kyle looking slimmer than before. We’ll never know for sure if Kyle lost weight the old fashioned way or with medication. But I’m going to take her word for it. If she would just stop talking about it, maybe other people would, too.

Kyle Richards on Ozempic rumors: ‘diabetics can’t even get ahold of it’

Kyle Richards has been talking about how she doesn’t use Ozempic for the better part of two months. She’s lost a noticeable amount of weight since the middle of last year and fans commented on it, leading her to say she doesn’t use it. Kyle said her weight loss is due to a strict diet, a lot of gym time, and cutting out alcohol. Cool, cool, cool. But she keeps talking about Ozempic! She talked again to People about not taking it at Elton John’s Oscar party on Sunday.

Kyle Richards is setting the record straight about her recent weight loss.

“I didn’t even know about Ozempic until I’d already lost the weight I wanted to lose,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told PEOPLE at Elton John’s 31st Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles on Sunday.

“I started losing weight eight months ago, actually, because I stopped drinking alcohol eight months ago,” Richards, 54, continued. “At first I was like, ‘Why are they saying I’m taking this diet drug?’ Then they thought, ‘Well, maybe it’s another kind,’ because I was saying, ‘It’s not Ozempic.’”

She shared her frustration over the continued questioning about her weight loss journey, confirming once again that her results are from her own efforts, not a weight loss drug.

“It wasn’t any diet drug ever, never touched it. So it really just frustrated me because I’m working out really hard.”

Richards, whose weight loss has been scrutinized she first shared a bikini photo in January, added that she’s also irritated by the news that the drug has become difficult for diabetics — for whom it is produced — to obtain.

“I became offended because it actually is irresponsible and I’m hearing about diabetics who can’t even get ahold of it now. So then it became, ‘Okay, now I’m mad. Now I’m actually really angry,’ because I wouldn’t do that. I’m very honest about anything I do and I would’ve not had a problem sharing that if that was true.”

The Real Housewives star credits her impressive new physique to her rigorous exercise routine and strict food plan.

“I’m working so hard and I wanted to be a positive role model or an inspiration to people that have had kids and are my age and show that you can get in shape,” she told PEOPLE on Sunday. “So it just felt like they wanted to take that from you and I’m like, ‘That’s just cheating.’”

[From People]

If Kyle’s truly not taking Ozempic, she should keep Ozempic’s name out of her mouth. She told People she didn’t know what it was until she’d already begun losing weight and that she’s frustrated people think she’s on it because she’s been working really hard. Kyle also said she’s offended that people think she’s on it because it’s irresponsible and she doesn’t like people thinking she’s taking a drug away from diabetics that actually need it. If we’re taking Kyle’s words at face value, and she’s not taking it, I still think she should just stop talking about it. (Maybe she’s not — there are other weight loss helpers that can be considered productivity pills instead of diet drugs.) Talking about Ozempic just keeps her name associated with it in the news, which she claims frustrates and offends her.  I guess she really just wants attention for her weight loss.

Kyle Richards on her weight loss: no bread, sugar, alcohol, daily workouts

kyle-richards-on-her-weight-loss:-no-bread,-sugar,-alcohol,-daily-workouts




Recently, fans were speculating/accusing Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Kyle Richards of taking ozempic injections to lose weight. Kyle emphatically denied it last week and cited her honesty about her plastic surgery to back up her denial. At the time, she didn’t say much about how she actually did lose the weight. I guess we were supposed to take her gym selfies as a hint. But this week, Kyle appeared on a podcast and talked about her weight loss methods. How’d she do it? By cutting carbs, sugar, and alcohol, and doing daily workouts. Pretty standard stuff.

Kyle Richards is opening up about her weight loss.

Last week, the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star denied speculation that she lost weight due to using the drug Ozempic. For those unfamiliar, Ozempic is a prescription drug used to help people with Type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. However, it has been discovered that some use Ozempic because a side effect is weight loss.

On Monday (January 23), Kyle appeared on the Two Ts In A Pod podcast where she revealed how she really lost weight.

“After gaining weight during the summer — on July 15 — after getting off the boat I said ‘That is it. I’m not having any sugar, any carbs, any alcohol,’” Kyle shared.

“A lot of people think I’ve been taking Ozempic,” Kyle added. “To clarify I’ve never taken Ozempic.”

The following day, Kyle took to Instagram to share a photo of herself lounging out in a bikini.

In the comments, Kyle responded to fans asking about her physical transformation.

“NO alcohol, bread, pasta, sugar. I eat protein, fruit and vegetables,” Kyle wrote. “Now that I am the weight I want to be, I will have the occasional small amount of pasta etc once in a while. But no alcohol since July 15.”

“I workout every day,” Kyle added. “Chasing it up between running, cycling, hiking and yoga. Weights & stomach everyday.”

[From Just Jared]

The methods Kyle’s claiming are pretty tried and true. She’s not exactly reinventing the wheel here. And the stuff she cited, for the most part, works. Diets that are that restrictive (and dare I say, boring) do work at first. But it’s hard to stick to those long term. Her diet answer is completely generic, but when she mentioned alcohol, I was like yep, that’ll do it. Alcohol has often been the culprit of my own weight fluctuations because the tasty stuff is pretty caloric and those lowered inhibitions make it harder to stick to a sober diet when a little tipsy. And her workout plan sounds legit — a balance between cardio and strength training. When I work out every day I definitely see results, albeit more slowly because I don’t really diet. Am I buying this story about a strict diet and workout plan? Actually yes, which is probably why Kyle is adamant that she didn’t take ozempic — she wants to claim her hard work.

Kyle Richards says she didn’t lose weight using off label drug Ozempic

kyle-richards-says-she-didn’t-lose-weight-using-off-label-drug-ozempic



It used to be lip injections and BBLs, but now we’re all talking about buccal fat removal and Ozempic. The latter is a diabetes medication that’s rumored to be popular among celebs for its off-label use as a weight-loss drug. Anytime a celebrity seems to lose some weight, people speculate it’s due to Ozempic. (I wonder how Adderall and cocaine feel about this speculation.) Sometimes it’s A-listers, but usually reality stars that I see as most subject to this Ozempic speculation. The latest is Kyle Richards of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame. But she says she’s not taking it.

Since Ozempic was exposed as being a popular Hollywood weight-loss drug, celebrity watchers have been speculating over which of their favorites might be on it. The latest suspect is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.

Ozempic is intended to help treat diabetes, and can lower blood sugar and encourage insulin production, but has recently gone viral as a weight-loss drug rumored to be extremely popular in Hollywood. And now it seems that whenever Richards posts any kind of gym selfie, commenters on Instagram immediately began questioning whether or not Richards was getting a little extra help from Ozempic. Last week, she responded after a commenter wrote “ozempic” under a post-workout group shot, she responded, asking the user to “not spread lies,” and insisting, “I’m not on ozempic.”

Her denials did not stop fans from questioning her again. On Monday, when “Page Six” posted about one of her gym selfies on Instagram, commenters immediately began suggesting that she was taking Ozempic, causing her to issue a second denial. “I am NOT taking Ozempic. Never have,” she wrote Monday. She then responded to a comment theorizing that it wasn’t Ozempic, but plastic surgery, again shutting down the claims. “I have never tried Ozempic and this is not from plastic surgery,” she wrote, adding that she did “have a breast reduction in May.” She continued, promising that if she ever did decide to go under the knife for any more surgeries, she’d be sure to let fans know. “I’m honest about what I do,” she wrote. “But if giving plastic surgery makes you feel better then pop off sister.”

[From The Cut]

So Kyle posts gym selfies and commentators ask about Ozempic. She says it’s a lie, she is not now nor has she ever taken Ozempic, and if she gets surgeries she’ll let us know. Lol, thanks? I don’t know enough about Kyle’s vibe or Ozempic to say if she’s lying or not, but I kind of believe her. A lot of celebrities lie about plastic surgery and how they maintain their appearance, but as I’ve said before, reality stars, particularly Real Housewives, are typically more honest about that stuff. It’s a little gross for commenters to keep harassing Kyle directly on her Instagram and accusing her of taking Ozempic. Speculate among friends or on a third-party blog! In any case, Kyle is posting gym selfies, not pretending she only eats burgers and pizza and never works out. Even if she is lying about taking Ozempic, she’s not promoting some harmful, quick-fix method. And Ozempic does seem to have some tough side effects, including weight gain when people eventually stop taking it, as most people who don’t actually need it for diabetes would probably do.

Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: It’s Either Kim or Me!

Kim Richards made a return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Tuesday night.

In a surprise move that should not have come as a surprise to anyone, the troubled reality star stopped by the show’s reunion in order to … well… ramble incoherently for the most part.

Kim and Kyle Richards Picture

She acted in denial of any kind of drinking problem and didn’t address her recent arrest or litany of personal/legal issues.

So she basically acted like Kim Richards.

But while Kim made a few appearances on the series that made her famous this season, she is still not a full-time cast member.

Might this change in the future?

It’s very possible, seeing as people watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online or on television just to see the drama that Kim brings along with her.

However, if Kim Richards does return to full-time cast member status in 2017, her sister will not be joining her. Allegedly.

 

Kim Richards Reunites

According to a Life & Style insider, “Kyle put her foot down” when it comes to Kim getting rehired.

She has supposedly threatened to quit the reality program is Kim is brought back.

“She’s concerned the fame and publicity will derail Kim all over again,” the tabloid writes.

That certainly does seem plausible.

Kim, who has been in and out of rehab and was arrested for shoplifting in 2015, “has finally managed to get sober and take control of her life, but she’s still very vulnerable,” the source adds.

Why would she therefore expose herself to the tension-filled universe of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Do you really need us to spell this out for you?

Okay, we will. Here we go:

MONEY.

Bravo, meanwhile, officially renewed The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week.

Via press release, the network also picked up The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of Orange County, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Potomac for new seasons.

We’ll never rid ourselves of these women. Not ever.
