Real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky is setting the record straight following some very public claims made by reality television star Lala Kent. The Vanderpump Rules alum recently implied on her podcast that Umansky had attempted to flirt with her via direct messages during his separation from Kyle Richards. The allegations quickly became a major talking point among Bravo fans.

However, Umansky is not taking the claims lying down and has brought forward the actual conversation to defend his reputation. In an exclusive update published by TMZ, the direct message sent by Umansky on February 24, 2024, was fully revealed. The text shows a completely professional exchange where Umansky simply questioned Kent about public opinions she had expressed regarding his marriage.

Sources close to Umansky state that he was deeply frustrated by how the exchange was framed on Kent's Untraditionally Lala podcast. The businessman felt that the narrative was intentionally exaggerated for listeners and podcast downloads. By releasing the exact text, Umansky hopes to prove that his intentions were purely conversational rather than romantic.

Kent has yet to issue a public response since the actual direct message receipts were leaked to the entertainment press. The crossover drama between The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules continues to keep reality fans completely captivated. For now, Umansky’s receipts appear to have quieted the rumors.
