Andy Cohen has expressed his support for Mauricio Umansky as he addresses his feud with brother-in-law Rick Hilton on the show Buying Beverly Hills, rather than on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Cohen clarified that Umansky has the right to share his side of the story on his own show, Buying Beverly Hills, which is set to launch its second season soon. He also mentioned that what Kyle Richards shares on RHOBH is her perspective of the events.
Cohen hinted at discussions with Richards and her sister Kathy Hilton during the RHOBH reunion, shedding light on their version of events regarding the split between Mauricio and Rick Hilton. This revelation on Bravo's show provides viewers with insights into the family dynamics that were previously only hinted at on past RHOBH seasons.
In a clip from the upcoming season of Buying Beverly Hills, Umansky revealed the circumstances that led to his fallout with Rick Hilton. After expressing his desire to become a full partner at the Hilton real estate agency, Umansky was met with a negative response from Rick. This disagreement ultimately led Umansky to start his own brokerage, The Agency.
Umansky acknowledged the impact of the situation on Kyle Richards and her family, noting that it caused strain within the family. Despite the challenges, Umansky appreciated Richards' unwavering support throughout the ordeal.
Following Umansky's claims, Paris Hilton criticized him for bringing up the family drama on his show. Hilton emphasized that her father has always taken the high road and refrained from speaking negatively about family matters in the press. She expressed frustration over Umansky's repeated use of the Hilton name for promotion.
