RHOBH alum Taylor Armstrong breaks silence amid rumors she secretly DATED Kyle Richards in 2016 - after coming out as bisexual and admitting to 5-year romance with a woman

Taylor Armstrong has fired back at claims she once dated her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Kyle Richards.

The rumors were started by a Housewives parody account on social media, which falsely claimed that Taylor had told GQ magazine that she had a five-month romance with Kyle in 2016.

'This is complete bulls**t. Kyle is like family to me and always has been!' Taylor raged on X.

'I never said this, thought this or experienced this. Lies, lies, lies!!!'

Taylor previously came out as bisexual during an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County last year.

Over dinner, Tamra Judge addressed both Armstrong and Jennifer Pedranti, asking, 'Because some of the girls here don't know you very well, tell us something that we don't know.'

Taylor says, 'Um, I'm bisexual,' joking, 'Now are you nervous about me being in the bunkhouse with you?' 

She confirmed she had a five-year relationship with a woman before marrying her first husband, Russell Armstrong, who she was married to from 2005 until his death in 2011.

Taylor even joked about her five-year relationship with a woman that, 'Hell, I know marriages that don't last that long.'

Taylor adds in confession, 'Most people are surprised to find out that I'm bisexual. Probably because just, like, stereotypes. I mean, it's not something I broadcast, but I'm open to all people that have great souls and that you can love.'

Meanwhile, Kyle has been swept up in lesbian romance rumors with country singer Morgan Wade following her split from husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky. 

The TV personality, 55 - who recently admitted that she had been 'curious' to kiss a woman in a teaser for the finale - addressed the rumors surrounding both her and country singer Morgan, 29, at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion.

Kyle was asked by host Andy Cohen if there was a chance she would date Morgan in the future - to which she replied with, 'I don't know.'

'I'm evolving, I'm changing, I'm clearly going through some evolution of my own, and I don't know what my future holds right now,' she explained.

Andy then cut in to say, 'Maybe next year she'll be out here on the couch with us,' causing Kyle to respond, 'You never know.'

On Monday, Kyle revealed that she had stopped going to couples therapy with her estranged husband during an Amazon Live session.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills mainstay also stated that, although she was separated from her husband, they were still 'really good friends.'

Richards and Umansky initially met in 1994 and went on to tie the knot in January of 1996. 

The pair went on to welcome their eldest daughter Alexia, 27, in 1996, and the Halloween actress gave birth to her younger daughters Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16, in 2000 and 2008, respectively.

The real estate agent also serves as a stepfather to his estranged wife's daughter Farrah, 35, whom she shares with her former husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
