Mauricio Umansky is firing back after Lala Kent publicly discussed a direct message he allegedly sent her following his split from Kyle Richards.
While leaving Craig’s in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star denied claims made by Kent on her podcast Untraditionally Lala, where she suggested Umansky reached out asking her to grab coffee.

“Oh man, she’s such a f–king liar, it’s not even funny,” Umansky, who is still legally married to Kyle Richards, told TMZ.
Kent previously claimed the real estate mogul contacted her after she discussed his separation from Richards on her former podcast, Give Them Lala. She also said she never opened the message and had no interest in meeting with him.
According to Umansky, however, Kent would have needed to read the message in order to know what it contained.
Oooof. Mauricio Umansky calls Lala Kent a f—king liar.

“I did message her because she was talking sht and I said, ‘Hey, you wanna talk sht about me, I’ll f–king talk to you,’” he explained. He continued, “The last word on my text, and it’s a long text, says, ‘Let’s have coffee.’”
Umansky argued that Kent’s comments on her podcast contradicted her claim that she never opened the DM.
“The only way that she knew that I invited her to have a coffee is if she would’ve opened the f–king text,” he said before hinting that he may leak the text to the public.
