Mauricio Umansky Calls Lala Kent’s DM Claim False and Teases Posting a 'Receipt'

His on-camera pushback puts the focus on proof he says he may post.

Overview

  • Umansky, filmed by TMZ outside a Los Angeles restaurant, said Kent misrepresented a past direct message and called her a “liar.”
  • Kent had told her Untraditionally Lala podcast that Umansky once invited her to coffee in a DM that she said she never opened or answered.
  • Umansky acknowledged sending the message and said it was a long note with the coffee line at the bottom, which he argued she could not cite without opening it.
  • He said he might publish the message to “set the record straight,” and there is no independent or publicly posted proof of the DM’s full content.
  • The back-and-forth has become a Bravo talking point tied to scrutiny of Umansky and Kyle Richards’ 2023 separation, showing how podcasts and paparazzi clips can quickly escalate private disputes.
