Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky 'Upset' as Daughter Sophia Umansky Battles Hair Loss From Mounjaro Use: 'They're Begging Her to Stop'

Kyle Richards is keeping a close watch on her daughter, Sophia Umansky, after the 25-year-old revealed alarming hair loss linked to the weight loss drug Mounjaro.

Both Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, are deeply concerned for their daughter's well-being.

"They are really upset that she's taking a weight loss drug when she doesn't need to lose any weight," the source told an outlet.

"It's especially upsetting for Kyle because she suffered from an eating disorder when she was younger, and the last thing she wants is to see her daughter go through anything similar," the source added.

Sophia, despite her parents' concerns, believes she needed the medication to shed excess weight.

The source added, "The reality is she is not overweight and never has been. It's very worrisome for her parents, and they're begging her to stop before she seriously damages her health."

The insider stressed that Sophia's hair loss suggests she might not be getting adequate nutrients.

"Kyle is now monitoring her diet and nagging her to take her vitamins," they continue. "No matter how old Sophia gets, Kyle and Mauricio will still dote on her; that's how they are with their kids. They are very hands-on parents."

In addition to Sophia, Kyle, 56, and Mauricio, 54, also share daughters Alexia Umansky, 28, and Portia Umansky, 17. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is also mother to her eldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, 36, from her previous marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.

In a revealing TikTok video posted in May, Sophia admitted she had been using Mounjaro for several months for weight loss. The drug is intended for individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes but became a concern for Sophia once she noticed continuous hair loss.

"I started Mounjaro about four months ago, and I would say, like, maybe for the past three weeks to one month, I've noticed a dramatic hair loss situation," she shared on May 1. "I am very lucky that I have so much hair because at the rate that I've been losing hair, I'm going to be bald in about one week."

Later in the video, Sophia acknowledged that she hadn't been maintaining a healthy, nutrient-rich diet to go along with her rapid weight loss. "Because of the medication and not eating enough vitamins, protein, all that kind of stuff," she said. "I feel like at the beginning of starting this medication, I was just making sure I was eating enough. I wasn't really thinking about enough protein, enough vitamins, all that kind of stuff. So, I think because of that, I have started losing hair."
