It was alleged that Kyle Richards is “heartbroken” that Sophia Umansky is losing hair after using the weight loss drug Mounjaro, especially since she had an eating disorder when she was Sophia’s age.
A source spilled about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s reaction to her 25-year-old daughter’s going “bald” to Daily Mail.

The struggle is real:
Allegedly, Kyle is reportedly ‘heartbroken’ to see Sophia succumb to the “pressures of the industry.” According to the insider, “This is extremely upsetting to Kyle, who battled anorexia when she was younger.”
“Kyle is already constantly worried about all her children because that is just how she is. To see Sophia, who is so beautiful and perfect the way that she is heartbreaking” for the mother of four.
It was alleged that Kyle understands that raising her children in front of cameras has “not been the healthiest” for her girls or her marriage. “Kyle knows these pressures all too well. So, she can relate to Sophia. She is coming at this from a place of understanding, not a place of anger.”
Kyle also knows that growing up in front of the camera has not been the healthiest for her children or her marriage. “The girls, and [Kyle], are constantly comparing themselves to the tiny size 0 models in LA. This is not attainable for the normal woman.”
Kyle hopes Sophia’s transparency makes an impact:
The RHOBH star is proud of her daughter’s openness over losing her hair as a result of not eating from Mounjaro use. In fact, she thinks it will help other women considering using it.Â
“[Kyle] wants a full stop and is proud of her for coming forward because it will help lots of women who are contemplating using the drug.”
Sophia has the “support and love of all her family.”
Kyle’s eating disorder history:
During a cast trip to Paris, Kyle confessed her struggle to be slim growing up in Hollywood. She revealed she weighed only 99 lbs and would limit herself to six almonds a day or a V8 juice.
At the time, the OG of RHOBH mentioned it was her first time sharing her story. She hadn’t ever told her four daughter, as she “didn’t want to plant a seed in their heads.”
