Overview
- Richards told Page Six on Wednesday that she was “not happy” when she learned Mauricio Umansky and their daughter Alexia would compete together and joked, “I’m going to kill you, Mauricio.”
- She said she had “a lot of sleepless nights” and repeatedly texted show producers asking for updates on whether Alexia and Mauricio were safe while filming.
- Fox confirmed the Season 5 cast filmed in the jungles of Malaysia and that the series will premiere on Sept. 24, with Mauricio and Alexia listed among several celebrity recruits.
- Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test uses a former special-operations selection format that strips recruits of comforts and allows exit only by voluntary withdrawal, failure or medical disqualification.
- The episode adds to public attention on the family after Richards and Umansky separated in July 2023 and follows a precedent of parent-child pairings on the show that draw media focus on family dynamics and safety.
