Jeff Lewis labelled Kyle Richards a “lesbian” months following the two had a falling out — and then reconciled — over the same claim. Lewis questioned Andy Cohen during a panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday who his favourite “Housewife” was, to which the Bravo executive coyly answered, “That’s an HR issue.” As shown in a video obtained by Page Six, “It varies every day.” The “Watch What Happens Live” host said the “Housewives” franchise is “so great” since it’s an ensemble programme, but Lewis added, “Either you say it, or I say it.” After Cohen, 55, questioned Lewis, 53, about when he remarked, the “Flipping Out” star gazed at the audience and remarked, “Oh, he’s revised his mind since she’s become a lesbian.”
The audience erupted in applause and laughter as Lewis reiterated, “She was his favourite.” Not any longer.” Cohen took an extended gap after his remark before immediately changing the subject. Lewis dubbed Richards a “lesbian on Ozempic” in August after she appeared to be spending a lot of time around Morgan Wade. Richards, 54, had previously denied any romantic connection to Wade, 28, telling paparazzi that they were simply friends. Page Six announced in July that Richards and Mauricio Umansky had divorced after 27 years of marriage. Throughout their breakup, Richards has been supporting Umansky, particularly while he participated in “Dancing With The Stars” this season. However, Richards’ support faded swiftly last month after Umansky, 53, was seen holding hands with this dancing partner, 34-year-old Emma Slater, while out for dinner.

Jeff Lewis Refers To Kyle Richards As A Lesbian Once More At BravoCon After Settling A Feud
Jeff Lewis declared Kyle Richards a “lesbian” months following the two had a falling out — and then reconciled — over the same claim. Lewis queried Andy Cohen during a panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday who his favourite “Housewife” was, to which the Bravo executive subtly answered, “That’s an HR issue.” According to a video taken by Page Six, “It changes every day.” The “Watch What Happens Live” host said the “Housewives” franchise is “so fantastic” since it’s an ensemble programme, but Lewis added, “Either you say that, or I say it.” “He told me backstage.” “You think I stated that Kyle was my favourite,” Cohen replied, before Lewis joined in, stating, “You said Kyle.” After Cohen, 55, queried Lewis, 53, about when he remarked, the “Flipping Out” star glanced towards the audience and remarked, “Oh, he’s changed his mind since she’s become a lesbian.” The audience erupted in applause and laughter as Lewis reiterated, “She was his favourite.” Not any longer.” Cohen took an extended gap after his remark before immediately shifting the subject. Lewis dubbed Richards a “lesbian on Ozempic” in August following she was seen investing a lot of time alongside Morgan Wade. Richards, 54, had previously denied any romantic relationship with Wade, 28, telling paparazzi that the two were simply friends.
After Lewis made snide remarks about her sexuality, the “RHOBH” star took a break from replying to his texts. “I’m not talking to Jeff Lewis, I simply don’t feel like talking to Jeff Lewis right now, to be truthful with you,” she stated on Amazon Live days after his scathing statement. “There are so many narratives about me floating around, I’m at a loss for words. I simply wish everyone would be quiet.” “It’s hard enough to have people saying negative things about you, so you simply anticipate that your friends will not do the same.” Richards said, “Who needs enemies when you have friends like that?”.” She subsequently indicated that everything was forgiven when she uploaded the photograph of roses Lewis had sent her to her Instagram and wrote, “Thank you @jljefflewis.” Lewis, for his part, informed Page Six that he was simply “poking fun” at the “ridiculous rumors” swirling about Richards’ personal life. “There had been no indication anyone would take this seriously, and I apologized publicly and privately.” If I could only say one thing to Kyle, it would be, “Please text me back.” After 27 years of marriage, Richards and Mauricio Umansky announced their divorce in July.
