00:00Kyle Richards' daughter, Portia, is 16 years old,
00:04which means she can drive.
00:06So what do you think one of them,
00:09either Kyle or Maurizio, bought her for her sweet 16?
00:13Portia.
00:15No, a Toyota.
00:16They wish they named her Kia.
00:18Yeah, really, no kidding.
00:20And that's a nice name, though, by the way.
00:22Yes, indeed.
00:23So Portia got a Portia.
00:25She got a Macan.
00:27And it's pretty awesome for any 16-year-old or anybody
00:30for that matter.
00:31Period, I'd love that.
00:32And so we got Kyle out.
00:35So you've got to watch this really carefully.
00:38But our faux dog Melanie got her out.
00:41And listen to this and tell us whether you think Kyle is
00:48down with the purchase or not.
00:50I wonder what you say to people that
00:52think Portia might be too young to be
00:56driving that expensive of a car.
00:59Well, it wasn't as expensive as they reported.
01:01But I understand that.
01:02I get that.
01:03Yeah?
01:03Is she a good driver?
01:04She's a very good driver.
01:06She's a grade A student.
01:07She's a good kid.
01:08But.
01:09She deserves it?
01:10I think so.
01:11My husband, Mo, he works very hard.
01:14And you can talk to him about that.
01:16That was his purchase.
01:18He was the one that bought it.
01:20He was the one that bought it.
01:21Yeah?
01:21I just love it was his purchase.
01:24That feels like maybe she wasn't consulted.
01:30Maybe that wasn't the car that she thought she should get.
01:33Which, by the way, I don't get.
01:34Because if you look at the McCann,
01:36it's not like a Porsche 911, which is a sports car.
01:40It's more like an SUV.
01:42It's reasonable.
01:43It's just, Porsches are nice.
01:45So just for a 16-year-old driving an SUV, I don't know.
01:48It seems OK to me.
01:49But also, if you're Kyle and Mauricio,
01:51or whichever one bought it, and you
01:53have the money, which we know they do,
01:55they're both extremely wealthy, if you can afford it,
01:58and you love your kid, why not get it?
02:00I mean, there's going to be people that are going to hate.
02:02But those people are going to be the people that
02:03can't afford this car.
02:04And the other thing, Brendan, and you
02:06know this, which is, you've got to look
02:08at the world they live in.
02:10Everybody else, you kind of look at it and say, oh my god,
02:12she got a Porsche for her 16th birthday?
02:15She lives in a world where lots of her friends
02:19get Porsches and BMWs.
02:20They probably look down on her, like, oh, that's all you got?
02:23You got the McCann?
02:24Right.
02:25Sorry.
02:26But the point that I was simply making
02:29is that it's not one of these dangerous cars.
02:33It's an SUV.
02:34It's a well-made car.
02:36I think it's like $70,000, $80,000.
02:40So it's a lot of money.
02:41But Kyle was quick to point out, not what is being reported,
02:46which is weird, because you can just look at like, you know.
02:48They were saying it was like $90,000.
02:50Right.
02:50But nonetheless, it's an expensive car.
02:53But it's a safe car.
02:55I mean, whether it's a Chevy or a Porsche SUV,
03:00they're not sports cars.
03:02Hi, I'm Dinah Jones from Chicago.
03:05And I think Mauricio should have consulted with Kyle
03:08on the purchase of this car.
03:09Did it feel to you like he didn't?
03:11Because it did to me.
03:12Me too.
03:13No, he didn't.
03:14He didn't consult with her at all.
03:16Because she would have said, let's go with something cheaper.
03:20Not cheaper, but, hmm, he did not consult.
03:22He did not consult because of what's
03:24going on with their separation.
03:25And that's what I'm wondering.
03:26Is this a sign to you that this marriage is done-zo?
03:31Completely done-zo.
03:32I didn't think of it like that.
03:33He already moved out.
03:34It's over.
03:35Yeah.
03:35Shows they're not really communicating.
03:37That's kind of the thing I was at.
03:39Didn't you feel like she was like, yeah.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah.
