The separation rumor grabbed so much attention that a prediction made ten years ago about their divorce again made the limelight. Richards and Umansky's split was foreseen by Allison Dubois more than ten years prior. 2010's 'The Dinner Party From Hell' episode of the show included Dubois, who revealed her theory that Richards and Umansky were getting a divorce.
Dubois said after getting pressure from Richards to give her a reading, "He will never emotionally fulfill you — ever. Know that. He will never emotionally fulfill you, but you will stay with him, and he will take care of you." She continued, "And as soon as the kids are bigger, you'll have nothing in common."
