“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“a star Erika Jayne Rushing to defend her fellow star, Kyle Richardsafter the latter received opposition from fans and co-stars regarding her reluctance to talk about her latest relationship. In a new interview, Jen, 54, defended Richards, who has been on the show since 2010, suggesting her situation was difficult. “I know what Kyle went through,” she said. “So watching her take that step and being able to say what was in her heart, I think was very brave of her,” he added. On the latest episode of Bravo’s “RHOBH,” Richards gave viewers a brief update on the grief she experienced when her last relationship, with country singer Morgan Wade, ended suddenly.

According to a previous report from The Blast, in a Season 15 episode of “RHOBH,” Richards revealed that she fell in love after her split from husband Mauricio Umansky. But things stopped after their relationship came to light. “I don’t think, unfortunately, our lifestyle and, as I said, the timing were compatible,” Richards said. “All the speculation and gossip and talk is what finally ended it.”

While Richards did not name her former partner, viewers believe she is referring to Wade, who has appeared in previous episodes of the series and has also appeared on several of Richards’ social media accounts. Speaking with producers during the episode, Richards expressed her frustration with some of her co-stars who were prying for more details about her love life, even though the other person in question didn’t want to discuss it. “It’s just complicated,” she said.

Richards was very emotional throughout the episode, telling producers that she has learned a lot about herself over the past three years. “While I’m sad about this relationship, I’m also really grateful. You get lost in being a wife and a mother, and you can kind of forget who you are. And I learned a lot about myself in that time,” she said. Speaking with Us Weekly, Jayne recalled learning about Richards’ recent breakup, calling it a “very painful” experience for the “Halloween” actress. “There are a lot,” she added.

Continuing, Jane defended Richards’ decision to be careful about what she shares regarding her latest relationship, likening the situation to her legal troubles with her disgraced husband, former attorney Tom Girardi, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for fraud. “It’s — and Kyle said this — if it were just up to her, she’s more than happy to say it. There are other people involved here. They’re not on this show, and I think viewers forget sometimes.”

At another point, Jane made it clear that she and her co-stars were willing to take criticism from observers; However, they feel differently when their loved ones are attacked. “We signed up for this, but they didn’t. You see part of our lives. We have lives that include other people, and that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re included in the show,” she said.

While Jane’s stance on protecting her family makes sense, some “Real Housewives” cast members feel that Richards and the Beverly Hills crew are treated differently than other women on the series.

In an episode of “Two Ts In A Pod” Dolores Catania from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey“She expressed her frustration at what appears to be double standards in the Bravoverse.

“I’ll tell you this: No one gets away with what Beverly Hills gets away with,” Catania said. “Without talking about their lives.”

“A lot of other people don’t want to participate,” she continued. “I can name some friends who don’t want to participate, and yet people are told: ‘Then we have to rethink your case.’
