Kyle Richards hasn’t decided if she’s coming back for the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. After fifteen years on the franchise, it would be surreal to NOT see Kyle return.
But friend and former RHOBH castmate Taylor Armstrong knows the importance of taking care of yourself off-screen. She shared her thoughts with Us Weekly about whether or not Kyle should return for Season 14.
Taylor wants Kyle to “take a breather”
“I can’t imagine her not being on the show. I also think it might be good for her just to take a year and be happy and not feel the pressure of the show on top of everything that’s going on in a relationship,” said Taylor.
“It’s nice to step away and take a breather for a minute. I don’t know if she would know how though. She’s been doing it for so long.”
Taking a break is something Taylor is familiar with. She was also part of the original cast on RHOBH but made her exit in 2016 amidst personal turmoil. It wasn’t until this past year that Taylor joined Bravo again, this time on Real Housewives of Orange County.
“She’s got a lot going on”
Kyle has faced her fair share of ups and downs over the years, but the breakup of her seemingly rock-solid marriage to Mauricio Umansky surprised fans and friends alike. After 27 years of marriage, the power couple announced they were separating in July of last year.
The pair, who have four daughters, said in a joint statement that there was no “wrongdoing on anyone’s part.” They also added, “We both love and respect each other tremendously.”
Kyle and Mauricio have yet to officially file for divorce, but either way, Taylor has her old friend’s back.
“Kyle knows I’m always here at any time. She’s got a lot going on. It’s just a lot of people around her,” Taylor said. “She has a great support system, and I have to imagine she probably would just not have to talk about it so much. It’s hard to experience your emotions and your feelings and everything you’re going through when people are just constantly asking you about it. I just wish that she could have a break.”
