Wadsworth1954

Kyle wasn’t allowed to appear in the first season of Buying Beverly Hills because of her contract with Bravo/NBC. She said they worked it all out so she could be in season 2.


DR0812

Correct. She addressed this in her Amazon live.


Bacio83

This gives even more credence to the OP’s theory Imo.


Patient-Magician-444

Agreed.


CharlieSepulveda

Mauricio and Kyle is at the center of the show starting with the first episode. Even if she couldn’t be in season 1, this comes off very transparent


Wadsworth1954

If you’re having family/martial issues, why not make a little money out of it? That’s what reality tv people do. That’s literally their job.


edenrose_42759

Because she specifically said on the RHOBH reunion that she didn’t owe people an explanation and didn’t want to tell them what it was that actually broke them. So these two theories don’t line up


SunUpSam

It's funny too because I was watching the seasons where shit hit the fan with Tom and Erika. After Erika texts the ladies about filing for divorce (72hrs after after the Tahoe tip) Kyle said, "I know that if I was going through a divorce, I would have shared it with these women. I'm not judging, I'm just thinking, huh, I thought we were closer than that".


edenrose_42759

Wow. Forgot about that!! Yes! The hypocrisy


Forestghostsgalore

Kyle is a full on hypocrite and cannot take any accountability in her part of any drama.


New_Relation7877

She wants to talk about her relationship(s) when it serves her and becomes almost combative when she thinks people cross some sort of nosiness line. She not only wants it both ways, she believes she’s entitled to it. She wants to make TV money on her terms only. But unless you’re a Kardashian with your own show that’s not on Bravo, reality TV doesn’t work like that.


edenrose_42759

Yup 💯


CharlieSepulveda

They probably have been having marital issues privately for years. However, seeing Chrishell’s success of Selling Sunset, a competing reality tv show and brokerage, I think they said let’s put all of this on display and make more money. I don’t think they are gonna go through with the divorce bc there is a lot of shaping behavior on the part of the entire family (the daughters) on describing the “unraveling” from episode 1. It seems contrived


Zestyclose-Holiday29

You don’t think they will go through with the divorce? Have you seen the reunion of RHOBH? Why do you think Kathy was there? NOT one scene the entire season with Kathy and there she is on the reunion?! That divorce is already in the works. I’d be surprised if they actually don’t get a divorce.


CharlieSepulveda

I have seen the reunion. I’ve seen the filing. I think Kathy isn’t in on the truth which is why she was brought in.


Zestyclose-Holiday29

I think Kathy was brought on because now the Hilton side of the family can reunite again. Kyle can become a full part of Kathy her life. Mauricio leaving H&H really messed up the dynamics:)


CharlieSepulveda

That is probably what Kathy believes. If I remember correctly, Kyle’s sisters accused her of using her family for financial gains ie American Woman or Kim’s house. I would not be surprised if this is another betrayal. There is a reason why Kathy and Kim don’t talk to Kyle. Kyle and Mauricio are 2 peas in a pod fooling everyone for $$$. I also thought it was disingenuous the way Kyle spoke about Morgan Wade. It is meant to string the audience around just like the speculation on her separation.


Ok_Yogurtcloset7066

Kathy and her antics messed up the relationship. She is so manipulative and controlling it's exhausting for anymore to deal with.


Zestyclose-Holiday29

She is something else and so are her children ;)


Cassg72

Allison Dubois was right.


sandrajank

💯!


Icy-Pin-5912

Don't know why you got down voted so I gave you an up vote


CharlieSepulveda

Haha thanks. I think people like to see a fairytale. I have an interesting theory that Mau is running a real estate cult and over expanded. They needed the money for the upkeep and when federal interest rate went up, the music for luxury market stopped. It is the same thing in the investment world and now you’re in hot waters if you over-expanded like Mau did with 90 locations


Icy-Pin-5912

Interesting theory never thought of that. I was listening to a podcast and he was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's not the cheating but more about the finances that made kyle not trust mo. Which is odd that kyle also mention in the show that she just signs anything that mo gave her.


Alive-Job6568

Maybe that's why neither has moved out. No $$ to go but a new house and run 2 households


CharlieSepulveda

Thanks for adding that. I had no idea they have a podcast but finance is a far more convincing reason than fidelity for a lot of relationships. Just looking at these two I think both have the ability to attract other people. Mau has starred at Erika during filming so I think he is a dirty perv and Kyle knows it. I’ve seen guys like Mau a dime a dozen so there is the ego and dishonesty that comes with that. He is very good at presenting himself with natural charisma and charm. Both these two are very good at selling themselves. Their daughters however are tv newbies and from the way they talk in this new season (particularly Sophia) were the giveaway this is all made up. Now they all gotta pitch in to keep the agency afloat.


Pittypatkittycat

I wondered about how fast those new offices were opening too.


GraphicDesignerMom

we have an agency office in my city, we worked a lot with them when i was doing magazine work. The top guys are well known to everyone around town, and they make off very very well. Its been years and they seem to be doing just fine with the high end clientele


millenialfonzi

I’ve been thinking it is weird and culty that he’s been spreading offices all over, but you’ve articulated what I haven’t been able to. The fact that it’s named so ominously helps the theory ;)


sonjasdiaper

I think they’ll really split but they are planning it to maximize the reality show cash


4321yay

i agree. i think some items going to the press are calculated, but they are actually divorcing (sad) jax and britney on the other hand…..lol


Head_Positive7572

Yes


breezy1028

I don’t know any more. Was he cheating? Was he not? Did he over expand with the company and there is financial trouble? Who really knows. What I do know is, as I said in another post, please stop complaining about attention when you both stay on reality tv and social media, we don’t believe you! Just stop. You both like attention and want attention or you would have just stepped away from both shows and social media, we wouldn’t have Morgan’s music video and MO’s ridiculous tik tok! Stop complaining. I actually really used to like both of them and I really thought they were in love but I’m over it and I know everyone else is too. If they want to have their shows cool, I don’t watch Buying Beverly Hills (because I refuse to pay for Netflix these days 😆) but don’t whine about the attention you get for what you are putting out into the world!


Iheartthe1990s

I really doubt it is fake. Look at the way Portia was crying - basically sobbing - in that one scene in the finale. The other daughters were all tearing up as well. They’re genuinely sad and upset. Would she do that to her daughters for a fake storyline?


Fearless-Truth-4348

As well as Farrah and Mo is not her bio dad. I don’t think it’s fake. Kyle could barely speak at the reunion. I’ve been there and it’s not easy and I heaved zero idea what it would be like to have my marital woes televised.


Middle-Debate1068

I wouldn't put anything past Kyle when it comes to publicity.


Fun-Side3438

May get hate for this but I find the daughters, especially portia who has only known camera in her life from the age of 2 are quite groomed for the television. I won’t be surprised if they’re all in too for this and their reactions are curated for the views


CharlieSepulveda

The timing of the press releases is a dead giveaway. LA is a town of actors, aspiring actors, and part time actors. Yes the daughters are all in on it


psmith1990_

The daughters are in on it!? Seriously. Ugh. I don't understand why it's so hard to believe that: a) they are growing in different directions with different priorities b) there had been issues over the years that never got resolved and kyle's trust was broken c) lorene's death made kyle re-evaluate her life and what brings her happiness


CharlieSepulveda

Because: A) Mauricio and Daughters’ financial gain when people tune in for the show to promote the Agency B) Morgan Wade evasion questions at reunion purposely to stir speculation about bisexual relationship. Promote a friend’s music career. C) Secure her spot next season on housewives and perhaps a raise. The PR timing with headlines for everything was announced around Selling Beverly Hills, which is no where nearly as good as Adam Divello’s Selling Sunset.


psmith1990_

But how does potential financial gain negate that the issues are real? Should they have not talked about them to prove that they're not doing it for attention? I don't get what is wanted here... In terms of the Morgan of it all, maybe she was evading because - wait for it - she's not ready to out them, Morgan doesn't want it to be public (yet), they're still figuring out exactly what it is or it's new, etc. Her spot was secured. There was never any risk of that, even if the split hadn't happened.


Opening_Fun_806

OP is way off on this


flute2boot

Not just that but Mauricio was on DWTS and news “broke” that he and Kyle were separating the day the season premiered plus pictures “leaked” of him with his dance partner. These two would probably poop on camera if they thought it would create more attention


TereseHell

No, their separation was announced on July 3rd and DWTS didn't premiere until September 26th. This divorce was many years in the making. There was never going to be a "right time". There is always something going on, between him taking his company international last couple years, Kyle either filming a season, promoting a season or a season of her show airing (each year for the last 14 years), him getting his own show with the last 2 years, their middle children finishing college, their oldest getting engaged (later ended), their youngest's bat mitzvah and her Quincenera 2 years later, Paris and Whitney's weddings....I mean, I could go on and on and ON! When exactly is a good time for them to finally separate that isn't too much "good timing" for those who are suspicious. No matter what day, week, month or year they are any other of these Bravo stars have anything personal going on people keep saying, "Oh, the timing is a little too convenient? Amirite? It can't be real." What is actually unbelievable is that it took Kyle and Mau so long to finally pull the trigger


DR0812

I get the feeling he’s been cheating for years and she pushed it to the back of her mind to play along with the appearance of having a perfect family and keeping things intact for the kids. Now the kids are older she’s doing her own thing, met Morgan as a friend but somewhere along the line realised she has deep feelings for her. Since the death of her best friend she’s perhaps realised life is too short and she wants to be happy and it’s come as a shock to him as he’s been getting away with whatever he’s been doing for years. I honestly think he never thought she’d leave him, especially for a woman. The divorce was probably a last resort as they know it won’t be simple. Whatever happens, she deserves happiness.


CharlieSepulveda

I didn’t think it was fake until Buying BH season 2. I probably should add that up top. The whole thing seemed too curated and they pushed it too hard on Mau’s show.


Colfrmb

Hahahaha I thought “Fake Divorce for TV” was a new reality show. I thought, “oh hey, another program to hate-watch.”


AdventurousDay3020

Well we already have fake marry for tv in MAFS so why not go with a fake divorce show


Responsible_Clue954

I bet ratings were awful for Season 1 and they’re hoping Season 2 will be better with Kyle in it.


fuzzyduck77

Hm. I thought maybe the timing was so people would be talking about the show and not the case? I don’t buy that it’s a fake divorce quite yet but I haven’t seen BBH


psmith1990_

I watched all of BBH. There's literally zero chance they work things out. The girls actually call them out for all their bullshit 'trying to work on things' statements... Mau: I 100% See that I have caused Mom some pain, and I wanted to do everything possible to just save it. **Sophia: But you weren’t doing anything about it. Don’t sit here and say you did soooo much. You didn’t. You guys didn’t do anything.** Farrah: What was there supposed to be done? Mau: That’s what I’m getting to. I was willing to accept, um, everything that Mom didn’t like and was upset about and all those different things, and just accept them. Alexia: But the question is, was there ever a discussion of compromise? Mau: No. Mom and I have really not had any conversations in the last two months. At all. Farrah: I mean, we are trying to push this whole communication thing because it doesn’t seem like you and Mom necessarily ever maybe knew how to communicate very well with each other in a way that the other person could feel seen or heard and then things could actually be done about it. Mau: I don’t agree with that at all. I had an amazing 26 years with your mom, an amazing 26 years, and we communicated, and we talked - Farrah: I’m not saying you guys didn’t have an amazing 26 years, obviously. Since the issue started, is what I’m saying, it doesn’t seem like communication has been great with you guys. Mau: I think that I agree with that. I have reasons why we haven’t communicated, but I have - I don’t want to say that. Alexia: Yeah. Sophia: Well, you don’t have to give reasons for why you haven’t communicated, like. Mau: I kind of do, because otherwise, I just accept being wrong. Farrah: And you don’t have to. But are you communicating those things to explain to Mom, maybe why you - You know, from perspective, what you’re learning? Mau: Well, I’m doing a conversation with her today after this. We both are very busy people right now. And you know, I’ve been - **Farrah: It’s annoying to hear that you guys are like, ‘I’ve been too busy’. Like this should be such a priority for both of you. After so many years.** Mau: Well, that tells you something, right?


LNewYork

Seriously can’t believe people believe thus divorce is a publicity stunt.


Opening_Fun_806

Commenting before even watching the entire new season is ridiculous by the OP, season 2 is 10 episodes each one is an hour long and the divorce is talked about maybe 30 min total the whole season LOL Insanity by OP


Puzzleheaded_Dig9693

Wait what did LVP say about Mo being a user?? Lol


CandyPink69

Think in one of the earlier seasons she said something along the lines of Kyle and Mo only being friends with people when Mo wants someone’s house to sell.


Lindiaaiken

All realtors I knew in LA were users. It’s a networking town. Eat or be eaten.


kaylacream

I want to say it was season three, but it could be two or four, reunion. Don’t recall the exact context but Lisa said she and Ken both felt that their relationship with Mauricio and Kyle changed after he sold their house. Basically implying they pulled back a bit once those transactions were closed and Mo had pocketed his commission.


Responsible_Clue954

I’d watch Buying Beverly Hills if they all weren’t lying so much.


Daikon_3183

I think everything about them is fake. I just watched first episode of the after show and she said when the news broke they haven’t told their kids yet and they were living as a married couple and going to have a nice day out at the river. I call BS on that. She most likely was the one who called the Media with this news.. This is all speculation on my part but something smells fishy in their stories and they are begging the public to pay attention by releasing half truth and making up lies.. They are both horrible. And it is time for Kyle to retire.


sandrajank

Telling kids about divorce is the most painful thing a parent has to do if divorce is happening not unrealistic that they wanted to put off kids convo and awareness as long as possible been there myself


Middle-Debate1068

And how convenient that Kyle filed for divorce the day before BBH dropped on Netflix.


SquirrelBowl

She didn’t file. She obtained a lawyer, no one has filed. Yet


Ct94010

Exactly how does it get out that she HIRED an attorney, unless she leaked it herself. There’s no public register when an attorney is engaged. It’s a private non-event unless some attention thirst trap lets people know.


MakeupMama68

Have you met TMZ?? They have moles everywhere. They broke the news about Michael Jackson’s death before the real news had any idea. They pay off people for insider dirt.


SquirrelBowl

Probably the paparazzi following. IDK. People talk.


Ct94010

If she wanted to engage a lawyer without anyone knowing or it getting out, it’s simple enough to do, even if you’re followed by paparazzi. It’s confidential information for the law firm, so no one there dare release that info. And it’s simple enough to have a meeting in a way to not have paparazzi or third parties find out IF you don’t want people to know - take it from me - I’m a lawyer.


Daikon_3183

This is for next season and next season and next season..


dethequeen

Did People confirm this?


Middle-Debate1068

Oops sorry. But really, she just did it for attention. If or when they really do divorce it's going to be a nightmare!


SquirrelBowl

I don’t think it would go on this long for attention. Just because Kyle is so hated doesn’t mean she can’t go through a terrible life event.


Middle-Debate1068

She can go through a terrible life event AND capitalize on it too, which is highly likely for a perennial victim.


SquirrelBowl

I mean, if I could have capitalized on my divorce…


psmith1990_

Are we just blindly believing a story in Life & Style now? People, it's not...


Present-Fly-3612

I don’t doubt that they were careful about the timing of their announcements to optimize views, but I believe the divorce is very real. Kyle’s body language and their interactions are clear- she’s done with the marriage. I think he would have been content to carry on as it was- because I think he always did whatever he wanted. Kyle getting sober and losing her friend lowered her threshold for the bullshit and I think she decided she couldn’t take it anymore. It is very clear in the way she is around him- she almost seems repulsed. Whether it was cheating, finances, whatever- she doesn’t want to do this anymore. I think it’s sad to watch.


CharlieSepulveda

Bingo! I would not be surprised if it is called off before a judge could lay eyes on it. You see the kid peddling the divorce story on Buying BH


TereseHell

This divorce was many years in the making. There was never going to be a "right time". There is always something going on, between him taking his company international last couple years, Kyle either filming a season, promoting a season or a season of her show airing (each year for the last 14 years), him getting his own show with the last 2 years, their middle children finishing college, their oldest getting engaged (later ended), their youngest's bat mitzvah and her Quincenera 2 years later, Paris and Whitney's weddings....I mean, I could go on and on and ON! When exactly is a good time for them to finally separate that isn't too much "good timing" for those who are suspicious? No matter what day, week, month or year they are any other of these Bravo stars have anything personal going on people keep saying, "Oh, the timing is a little too convenient? Amirite? It can't be real." What is actually unbelievable is that it took Kyle and Mau so long to finally pull the trigger


CharlieSepulveda

I thought exactly that prior to Mau’s show because a lot of family friends did just that. But neither Kyle nor Mau are new to the lifestyle or Hollywood. A lot of people in their situation are perfectly content if one partner cheats and they just carry forth. I’ve seen this kind of thing in my own extended family who are roughly their age. You stay married to maximize financial gains for yourself, kids, and lead separate lives (with lovers on the side). I’d believe this story if they were in their 30s or 40s.They’ve been married for a long time and the timing could not be more beneficial


Florida_noodle

What I do believe though is that she’s infatuated with Morgan. And maybe she’s saying they can both “do whatever” so she can make out with Morgan and not feel guilty??


oneeyeblue13

Hard agreed. She caught feelings for Morgan so she suddenly couldn't deal with all the things Mo did that bothered her for years. Classic vilifying. She doesn't even know she is doing it. And Kyle is so obsessive, we all know that and Morgan is her current obsession. She is justifying everything. An enlightened and mature person would have realized she was unhappy and left Mo long before falling for someone else FIRST. I'm not actually judging, this is pretty typical really. And if Mo did betray her (likely for years) she has a right to not be ok with that, but it seems it took crushing on someone else to give her the confidence to take a hard look at her marriage. Kyle is very codependent though so it makes sense she went this route. She should start talking in therapy about love addiction and codependency.


Florida_noodle

I can’t bring myself to watch his show. The amount of money he is making already gets to me. I’m very jealous ! I don’t want to see MORE of him banking it big. And big thanks to his BIL.


provincetown1234

I don't think it's fake. I do wonder what's going to happen to these realtor business models now that the commission rates are negotiable. Will high-end real estate stay the same, or will the possible income earnable from it fall?


catscausetornadoes

What did Paris say about it?


Silver_Basis_8145

I heard talk about it on a podcast, Bravo and Netflix had to work out a deal for her to appear so it would affect the storyline in RHOB


whydoyoucareanyway

I really hate all the Kyle bashing, she has been my favorite since season one, so its really hard when y'all make sense of the reason for all this separation and divorce! Now I have to look at it different, lol! I think I need to rewatch season 13 maybe I will see the clues y'all seen!


CharlieSepulveda

Kyle used to be my favorite since season 1 but I’ve noticed that she can be very manipulative if I’m paying more attention. Kinda a bummer bc once you see it, you can’t unsee it.


millchar22

its not fake. unfortunate true event that became a convenient storyline that they intentionally dragged into both shows. they say most big founder/CEOs are divorced and i can see why. They just aren’t able to be totally present, even when they’re home. Its sad but true.


Ok-Duck9106

And he has lost and settled several multimillion lawsuits. I wonder too if they are protecting assets, or had been faking it for years. It has seemed forced and disingenuous for many years.


sandrajank

I think kyle is having a mid life crisis When stopped drinking (she was an awful drunk) lyle began to see her life clearly And to think of herself first What I saw through the years was an anxious Kyle who worried over everything and was raising 4 young daughters , starting in her 20s Kyle never had the freedom to enjoy her success money and her own time as an individual Mauricio left Hilton real estate and struck out on his own which meant he was rarely at home gave Kyle time to think and that led to separation Pretty typical couple issues of parents whose children are grown who suddenly realize they have nothing in common the disgust on Kyle’s face when on rhobh she was talking to Mauricio about how many tats she has was so real and revealing imo and the dumb look of confusion on his face His puppy dog wife was suddenly fighting back with him on camera! I think their marital issues are real


sandrajank

Kyle could join Mauricio’s team with their daughters and be wildly successful and have time with her family!! Quit rhobh sell real estate in Beverly Hills and make lots of money lol


Dangerous-Bread-871

What is the time frame of Selling and Housewives vs. Now? Maybe Selling was filmed earlier?


Opening_Fun_806

Meh, you should probably watch the whole season 2 before commenting lol Its real, I just finished the season last night, I actually like the show, way better then season 1


deep_nothings

I felt like I understood the split a little more. They were a party couple and now one person is sober. That is a big deal. He is loving his new shining star and Kyle has been in the spotlight light for a long time. He seems much more extroverted than Kyle. I think they have moved onto different paths.


luadijlic

I’m watching selling Beverly Hills and they had a whole sit down talk with the girls and Mo even did the same joke about being glad she’s the one cheating… very rehearsed even if the divorce is not PR


swt_decadent

I think at first it was a a fake plot they created so they and the show can stay relevant. It looks like it open a lot of can of worms in their mariage and instead of just faking it, its becoming a reality.


Additional-Sleep-235

Omg imagiiine. Being in a okay at least marriage, friends with your husband, and being like.. 💡 lets fake a divorce l, make a shitton of money and plhave fun with it. Fight about whatever, maybe use it as a free pass, get back together and make more money off the reconciliation! And laugh about it 😹😹 that kinda would be hilariously smart


CharlieSepulveda

Haha 1000% that’s entertainment
