Jeff Lewis Thickens the Plot as He Calls ‘RHOBH’ Star Kyle Richards a “Lesbian on Ozempic” on ‘WWHL’

Jeff Lewis may be getting an angry phone call from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards following Tuesday night’s (Aug. 8) episode of Watch What Happens Live, where he playfully referred to her as a “lesbian on Ozempic.”
Host Andy Cohen introduced a game called “Jeff, What’s Your Issue?” based on the Flipping Out star’s Jeff Lewis Has Issues podcast. The rules forced Lewis — who’s never shied away from controversy — to reveal an “issue” he has with a variety of Housewives.
Eventually, Richards’ face popped up on the screen. The reality star has been in the news lately amid her reported separation from longtime husband Mauricio Umansky and rumored romance with country singer Morgan Wade.
“Kyle and I are friends. And I’m pissed she didn’t tell me she’s a lesbian on Ozempic,” Lewis bluntly said, leaving Cohen to cover his face with his queue cards as the rest of the audience broke out into laughter.
Meanwhile, comedian Heather McDonald, who appeared on the episode alongside Lewis, joked that “one of the side effects of Ozempic is lesbianism.”
“Your ring falls off because you’re so thin then your ring slips in someone else,” she explained, to which Lewis quipped, “I could get even gayer on Ozempic.”
Last month, People reported that Richards and Umansky had split after 27 years of marriage. The source claimed that they had been “separated for a while” but “remain amicable.”
Following the reports, the couple released a joint statement calling any claims about a divorce “untrue.” While they said they been through “a rough year” — which was “the most challenging one” of their marriage — they both “love and respect each other tremendously” and “there has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
Amid the separation speculation, fans have also noticed Richards frequently hanging out with Wade, prompting rumors that she is involved in a romantic relationship with the 28-year-old singer. While the 54-year-old told paparazzi that they’re merely “very good friends,” she recently starred as Wade’s love interest in her new music video.
“I hope they’re lesbians. I mean, I love a late-in-life-lesbian. It’s my favorite kind of story. But I don’t know,” McDonald told Cohen on WWHL. “Old-young lesbians in the summer, that’s a fun time. In the summer with cowboy hats!”
As far as the Ozempic craze, which has been popular among a number of Housewives, Richards previously assured Page Six that she has “never tried it” and has “never taken it” following her noticeable weight loss.
Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen airs Sunday through Thursday at 10/9c ET on Bravo.
