During a Monday, November 27, interview with TodayHilton, 64, was asked if she thinks Richards 54, and Umansky, 53, will reconcile over their issues.

Richards reacted to her sister’s remarks while speaking with Extra special correspondent and former costar Teddi Mellencamp on Tuesday, November 28th.

“When she said that, I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, that’s just going to start a whole thing too,’ and actually I texted [Mauricio],” Richards shared. “I’m like, ‘I know you’re going to see this,’ and he’s like, ‘I just saw. I’m not even looking at these things anymore. I’m not going to do any deep dives.’”

Richards claimed that while it is ‘upsetting’ to see her personal life be in the headlines, she does not think her sister was trying to cause any trouble.

Despite all of this, Richards told Mellencamp on Tuesday that Hilton and her other sister Kim, have been there as she navigates this journey.

“Here’s the thing, the truth is, my sisters have been very supportive by offering their support, texting me, calling me, but I haven’t shared with my sisters anything about really what’s going on in my marriage, to be honest,” she said. “I tend to keep to myself when I’m going through a difficult time.”

“We get along, we don’t argue, so it was actually nice,” Richards told Mellencamp of spending the holiday with Umansky. “We had our friends over, a couple friends, and our girls were there. … I never expected to be in this position in a million years, you know that — and obviously it’s not ideal — but I feel proud of the way we are navigating through this difficult time.”
