Additionally, the therapist emphasized that Kyle's separation from Mauricio Umansky stemmed from the need for emotional support, which Umansky wasn't able to provide amid difficult circumstances.
However, this narrative didn't sit well with the internet audience, who disapproved of this perspective.
Many online users expressed skepticism and dissatisfaction with the verdict presented in the screenshots, challenging the notion that stress and emotional struggles justified certain actions.
"Oh Kyle always the VICTIM!!!" wrote one user on Instagram. "She ran to Morgan for the support instead of going to therapy," wrote another.
"Boo boo boo don’t care! Where was this empathy for Lisa vanderpump when she losts her brother instead the did a witch hunt and picketed her out of Beverly Hills!" mentioned another.
"So she’s the victim again. You can see she is lashing out but this sounds like a poor excuse. It might be a factor but I think also her marriage issues have a lot to do with it," mentioned one user.
"She had ZERO sympathy for LVP!!!!! So , NO sympathy back towards her!!!!!" added another.
One said, "Oh Kyle always the VICTIM!!!" While another wrote, "Still no excuse for her bad behavior so far!! If anyone else had marital problems or rumors she’d be all over than."
"I am so over Kyle. Such a hypocrite & always the victim! Never been a fan. I wish they would get rid of her and bring in someone new," said one.
