Mauricio Umansky addresses Lala Kent's claim he slid into her DMs: 'She's a liar'

Published: May 14 2026

Mauricio Umansky recently slammed Lala Kent for her assertion that he had reached out to her for a coffee date. "Oh man, she's such a fucking liar it's not even funny, dude," the real estate broker told TMZ on Tuesday. "Like, really? I was thinking about actually posting the post. But I'm gonna tell you, she's a liar," he added.

Lala recently claimed that Kyle Richards' estranged husband had reached out to her via direct message to ask her on a date. The Vanderpump Rules alum claimed that the DM came after he announced his separation from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. The 35-year-old actress added that she never opened the private message because she didn't want to meet him.

While Mauricio did admit to having messaged her, he also said that Lala's claim lacked context. "I did message her because she was talking shit, and I said, 'Hey, you wanna talk shit about me, I'll fucking talk to you,'" claimed Mauricio. "She said in the podcast that she never opened the text," he continued. "The last word on my text — and it's a long text — says, 'Let's have coffee.'"

"And in her podcast, she says I invited [her] to have coffee. The only way she knew that I invited her to have a coffee is if she would've opened the fucking text," added Kyle's ex.
