On Tuesday, the reality star posted a carousel of snapshots and videos on Instagram from her family’s recent trip to Aspen, Colorado, to attend her nieceWhitney Davis’s wedding. She included a picture of herself with herBuying Beverly Hillshusban, 53, and theirdaughters: Alexia, Farrah, 34, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
The mom of four had a fiery response to the accusation. “If y’all like to read into every little crumb, read into this,” she wrote, adding a middle finger emoji.

The feisty words came after PEOPLE confirmed last week that Richards and Umansky hadseparated after 27 years of marriage. “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,” a source said.
The pair laterreleased a joint statementaddressing the separation. “In regards to the news that came out about us today … Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue,“Richards shared on her Instagram. “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”
The same statement, whichUmansky also shared on his Instagram, continued: “There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
