Mauricio Umansky is reacting to his niece Paris Hilton’s newest feedback about Buying Beverly Hills after a trailer for the present teased discussions of household drama.
“Look, it’s sad that she got so upset about that, but at the end of the day, it’s two businessmen making two business decisions,” Umansky, 53, instructed Entertainment Tonight on Monday, March 18. “I felt like I deserved something. I asked for something, he didn’t want to do it and then I chose to go off on my own. I wanted to take care of my family. I wanted to be successful. I wanted to go forward. I wanted to do the most I could and at the end of the day, I made that decision just to go forward with this thing.”
In a preview for season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills launched March 12, Umansky — who left Rick Hilton’s Hilton & Hyland in 2011 to set up his personal actual property firm referred to as The Agency — candidly mentioned his departure and the affect it had on his household relationships.
“I think I got kind of f–ked by Hilton & Hyland,” he stated within the preview. “And when I say f–ked, you know like today, I’m happy. But, there were 100 agents at Hilton & Hyland. They did $1 billion for the first time a year. I was 19.6 percent of their production.”
In a confessional, Umansky added, “I think Hilton & Hyland is an amazing company and I would never be caught dead speaking poorly about them because I don’t think poorly about them. And I am Rick’s brother-in-law. But unfortunately, it got sour because it really affected the family, [my wife] Kyle more than anybody. You know, her family stopped speaking to her.”
The clip caught the eye of Rick’s daughter Paris, who determined to communicate out on social media and criticize Umansky’s resolution to air household drama.
“My father is a consummate gentleman and has always taken the higher road,” Paris, 43, commented on the Queen of Bravo Instagram account after the trailer unfold on-line. “He would never speak negatively about his family — especially in the press. Frankly we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show. It’s enough already.”
Umansky’s rigidity with Rick has been hinted at on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills over time because it triggered points for Kyle Richards, whom Umansky married in 1996, and her household, particularly sister Kathy Hilton (Rick’s spouse and Paris’ mother).
In his newest interview, Umansky reiterated that his feedback weren’t out of spite. As he defined, “There is certainly no bad blood on my side.”
This isn’t the primary time Umansky has shared perception into his relationship with Rick, 68. In his e-book The Dealmaker, launched in April 2023, the truth star touched on when Rick and Kathy stopped talking to him after he began The Agency. Over time, issues had been ready to heal.
“Rick and I have a very good working relationship today,” he instructed Us Weekly on the time. “I just hope that as Rick and the family read my book, they realize that my stories are facts and real, and I’m certainly not throwing anything at them, because I love them more than anything and I think that what they do is fantastic. So, I just hope that that’s the way it’s read.”
Buying Beverly Hills season 2 begins streaming Friday, March 22, on Netflix.
