Khloé Kardashian Shares Sweet Video of Daughter True, 5, Talking About Losing Her Front Tooth: Watch

During a later panel on Sunday, Richards was asked to clear up any confusion from the RHOBH panel, she responded, “People do say to me, ‘What is the biggest misconception about your situation right now?’ and I’ve seen online so many times we’ve made this up for ratings. I think everyone knows we have 13 years of the show.” She continued: “First of all, what human being would do that to their family? Put them through that? And we don’t need help with ratings because we’re getting great ratings. This is not a made-up situation for me, this is a very real-life situation that’s very difficult and very painful, and trying to navigate it with cameras but with the outside world weighing in…It has been very very difficult but everybody’s been extremely supportive.” She also shared what advice she would give herself as a Day 1 Housewife, saying with a laugh, “Don’t do that show.” “I actually can’t blame the show, it’s not about the show…I personally think that if you think go into reality television and you have cracks in your marriage, your marriage will never survive,” she explained. She added, “We were very happy for a very long time…I’ve changed so much over these last 13 years and I’m always trying to grow and evolve…I don’t like confrontation, I’ve had to be more confrontational. I’m proud of the person I’m growing up to be.” Richards’ comments come after PEOPLE exclusively broke the news of Richards’ separation from Umansky in July. At the time, the couple denied rumors they were getting divorced in a joint statement posted to Instagram: “In regards to the news that came out about us today … Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.” Richards and Umansky added that “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,” they concluded. “Thank you for the love and support. Kyle & Mauricio.”
