Kyle Richards says she and her husband Mauricio Umansky apologized “immediately” to Garcelle Beauvais for laughing after Erika Jayne cursed at Beauvais’ teenage son during last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Bravo reality star said she “felt terrible” watching herself call Jayne’s drunken behavior “not funny … but funny.”
“You’d think after 12 years, I would know better, but we screwed up — I did. I messed up,” Richards said during an Amazon livestream, adding that she and her husband — who thought Jayne’s behavior was “great” — both apologized to Beauvais, according to Page Six.
Richards said she felt her apology to Beauvais was “personal” and didn’t want “go tell everybody” about it, which is why she didn’t mention it on her Instagram while previously addressing the drama.
“But I’m saying it now because a lot of people don’t think I apologized to her, but my husband and I did immediately.”
Richards notes that she “never should have commented on something that [she] hadn’t even seen [for herself].”
She added that she’s “sorry if [she] disappointed anybody in that moment” and revealed that the ordeal caused her to “stop watching the show” in order to “disconnect from that a bit.”
If you recall, Richards issued a statement via her Instagram Stories where she addressed her behavior. “Now onto the clip where Mauricio, Pk, Dorit & I are discussing Erika's behavior at Garcelle's party. I had not seen what Erika said to Jax in person but was told about it the following day along with some funny moments as well.”
“When I said it's not funny, but it is funny, I meant Erika being drunk was funny, but what she said to Jax was not,” she explained. “I hope you know me well enough by now to know I certainly do not condone speaking to children like that.”
“We are all parents and certainly wouldn't want anyone speaking to any of our children like that,” she continued. “Until Mexico, we had never seen Erika drink like that. So this was new behavior we were seeing,” she said. “I think while focusing on that the more important issue was being minimalized.”
She concluded by adding, “Anyways, I never post things like this but I felt absolutely terrible watching these clips so I wanted to share with you.”
