She said she would be, because Netflix and Bravo stuck a deal, and then explained why she and Umansky, 53, spoke about their split onBuying Beverly Hillsin more detail and hid it for most ofRHOBHseason 13.
“That is because, for anyone who’s confused, [the decision to separate] happened after we were done filming [RHOBH],” she began.
“The story came out, and then Netflix cameras happened to be in Aspen, so they ended up filming with us talking about it.”

Richards then explained that she and Umansky went the extra mile so thatRHOBHgot footage of their split, too.
“Obviously, Bravo’s been following my life for 13 years, it’s not like [Netflix] can film that scene and then I don’t share it with theHousewives, so we ended up shooting both of those scenes forBuying Beverly Hillsand [RHOBH]after we were all wrapped [on season 13 ofRHOBH],” she said.

“We’re just like easing into things and we’re fortunate that we don’t fight and we get along … so it actually oddly works,” she said, adding that she knows that her “new normal” right now isn’t exactly “sustainable.”

“We’ve been married for 27 years. We’re having a bit of a rough patch. She and I currently are separated, but we arenot throwing in the towel,” Umansky told PEOPLE in October.
