A Frustrated Outing
On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, Richards, 56, was photographed while grabbing coffee, wearing a casual outfit that included a loose-fitting taupe top, black leggings, and matching rain boots. Despite the casual appearance, her demeanor suggested she was in a foul mood, as she was captured holding up her middle finger to the paparazzi, though it remains unclear what prompted her reaction. Her representatives did not respond to requests for comment
The Context of Umansky’s Actions
This public display of anger from Richards follows Umansky’s recent outings, including a notable incident at the Chateau Marmont, where he was seen with two women and reportedly began making out with one of them after her companion left. An eyewitness described him as appearing more interested in one woman and noted the casual nature of their interaction. This incident marks the second time Umansky has been publicly involved in a romantic situation since the couple’s separation, which has been ongoing since at least July 2023. Previously, he was photographed kissing actress Nikita Kahn at a Mykonos airport, a moment that contributed to Richards’ emotional distress.
Richards’ Emotional Struggles
The emotional fallout from these public displays has been a central theme in the currently airing season of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Richards has openly expressed her pain regarding the situation, stating it was difficult to see her estranged husband with another woman.
