Kemsley noted a perceived shift in Richards\u2019 Instagram presence, where she appeared to be spending more time apart from Umansky. This prompted her to ask, \u201cI mean, have you had any thoughts recently? Like do you think you would not end up with Mo?\u201d<\/p>\n
To this, Richards responded that she indeed felt the need for \u201ca little freedom and some space.\u201d However, she admitted during a later interview that she wasn\u2019t thrilled with the on-camera questions from Kemsley, stating that she wasn\u2019t ready to address these matters in public.<\/p>\n
The reality star revealed that she was not in a happy state that day and emphasized that she would have preferred discussing such topics off-camera.
