Valentine’s Day looked a little different for Mauricio Umansky this year. Not only did he spend it apart from his estranged wife, Kyle Richards, but the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wound up in the hospital after a serious skiing accident. Like most of Mau’s escapades, this all went down in Aspen, Colorado, and he thinks that wearing a helmet might have saved his life.
Mauricio Umansky’s Valentine’s Day disaster
The last time Mauricio was in Aspen, he was running around town, breaking hearts and kissing models in the middle of the street. He probably had similar plans for this past February 14, but after a trip down the slopes, he wound up in a hospital bed.
Mauricio shared a video of himself getting carted off the side of the mountain by ski patrol. He had a major wipeout, and he followed up on his Instagram Stories with a selfie of himself in a hospital bed. You know there’s nothing a reality star loves more than a hospital bed selfie, and Mauricio looked especially pitiful in this one.
“I feel so blessed to be taken care of by such amazing humans,” he wrote. “Ski patrol, Paramedics, Aspen Hospital you’re all the best. Broken Clavicle.”
Two days later, he followed up with an update that the broken clavicle ended up requiring surgery. One wrong move on the slopes turned into a major ordeal.
“Thank you ?? to everyone who has reached out. I have felt so much love and support,” Mauricio wrote in an Instagram post on February 16.
Mauricio explained that it was a “clear break,” but the surgery included 12 screws and a metal plate. It sounds gnarly, but he’s expecting a speedy recovery. He’ll be back on the streets of Aspen in no time.
“The Doctors and Nurses at Aspen Valley Hospital are the best,” he continued. “I was wearing a helmet and that for sure saved me.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues on Bravo every Tuesday at 8/7c.
