Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky first brought their kids into the world of reality TV back in 2010, when Kyle was cast on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since then, the train hasn’t slowed down, with the couple’s children playing major roles in Buying Beverly Hills.

Being the child of a reality star would be hard for anyone. But given the press storm around the family over the last year, the likes of Farrah Brittany, Alexia Umansky, and Sophia Umansky have had it especially rough.

Still, the difficulty in their reality journey hasn’t kept them silent. The daughters have been all too open and honest about what it was like to have cameras around them so constantly – not just as children but even now into their adulthood.

Farrah says the Umansky family is “jaded” about reality TV

Sophia, Alexia, and Farrah all recently sat down with The Los Angeles Times to discuss life with reality TV. Of her choice to appear on BBH, Alexia said, “I was really nervous in the beginning. I remember calling my dad and being like, ‘I don’t know anything. You should not put me on television for real estate. I don’t know anything.’ And he’s like, ‘That’s the best part. That’s so real.’ And when he said that, I was just ‘OK, I guess that’s what we’re in for.’”

Sophia spoke about what it was like to have strangers think they know her and her family. “I still think it’s so surreal when I see someone and they think they know me. When the cameras are there, I don’t feel like they’re there. So then, thinking back, these people [viewers] actually saw what happened – like, I’m not the only one watching this; it’s not just me and my close friends watching. It’s not anything I think I’ll ever get used to, honestly.”

Similarly, Farrah spoke about the second nature of appearing on reality TV. “I think we’re maybe a little jaded because, like Sophia said, we don’t really feel like the cameras are there sometimes. It’s just natural that we know that, yes, this is what we signed up for … I think we were fine to share what we did. I think we were very honest and open … We’re used to this, and it just feels kind of par for the course, in a way.”

Buying Beverly Hills is streaming on Netflix while Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock.

Ariana Madix Thinks Tom Sandoval Wants Her To Be the ‘Big Bad Wolf’

On the April 2 episode of Vanderpump Rules, fans saw Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval going at it between the friend group during their beach outing.

The two were arguing over their shared history with their pets. Ariana said the pets were solely hers while Tom disagreed. When Ariana pointed out that she’d paid the adoption fees, Tom joked, “It was the one bill that Ariana paid.” Mm. Nice. Very classy.

Ariana was understandably upset and asked Tom to get out of her personal space. Upon reflection, Ariana had some broader sentiments about the whole matter.

Ariana believes Tom wants her long-gone

During the April 2 VPR After Show, Ariana said that Tom “would love for everyone in the world to think that I am the big bad wolf, and he’s just like, ‘Poor Little Red Riding Hood, had to put up with her for so long.’ Like, I don’t do sh*t.”

She continued, “I just, you know, in the 9 months since we broke up managed to write a book, get third place on Dancing with the Stars, get my ass on Broadway. You know, like, yeah, I don’t do sh*t. Just did all that.” Okay, self-aggrandizing of the response aside, Ariana was riled up due to what happened at beach day.

She felt her costars were trying to ‘shove Tom down her throat,’ offering him way more sympathy than he deserved after having shown so little remorse for all of his actions. On the After Show, Ariana continued, “He would love for me to be run away, out of this group, and out of this town, and out of him having to answer for his own actions. He would love that.”

Or, to put it another way, it sure would be convenient for Tom if everyone, including VPR stars, producers, and editors, started trying to paint Ariana as the worst person between her and Tom. Hm. Something to think about.

Vanderpump Rules Season 11 continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
