Paris Hilton threw some major shade at her uncle, Mauricio Umansky, after seeing that he spoke of his controversial exit from her father Rick Hilton‘s real estate company, Hilton & Hyland, on Buying Beverly Hills.
After Mauricio, 53, suggested in a sneak peek at the second season of his Netflix reality show that he had been “f*cked” by the company before leaving to start The Agency, Paris, 43, reacted to the preview in a comment, accusing Mauricio of using her last name to promote his series and claiming she and the rest of the family are “sick of him.”
In the sneak peek, shared by Queens of Bravo on Instagram, Mauricio spoke of how he went into a career at Hilton & Hyland with the goal of being brought in as a partner.
“I think I got kind of f*cked by Hilton & Hyland. And when I say f*cked, you know, today I’m happy. But there was a hundred agents at Hilton & Hyland. They did a billion dollars for the first time a year. I was 19.6% of their production and I went to Rick and I said, ‘I’d really like equity, right, and to be a partner.’ He went back. He talked to Jeff. He got back to me, and basically, I was told no,” he recalled.
Following the snub, Mauricio went home to his now-estranged wife, Kyle Richards, 55.

“I go, ‘This is really gonna cause a lot of stress between you, your sister [Kathy Hilton], and your family, and I don’t want to do this move of leaving and starting a company if you’re not comfortable.’ She was 100% supportive. And then I remember they said to me, ‘How did you not give us any warning or any issue?’ And I was like, ‘Warning?’” Mauricio shared.
Also in the sneak peek, Mauricio spoke about Rick’s company in a confessional.
“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 … Kyle more than anybody,” he explained. “Her family stopped speaking to her, but she understood that what was done to me was wrong, and she stood by me, and at the end of the day, I needed that.”
After the release of the clip, Paris reacted with a comment to the above post, defending dad Rick, 68.
“My father is a consummate gentleman and has always taken the higher road. He would never speak negatively about family — especially in the press,” she wrote. “Frankly we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show. It is enough already…”
Buying Beverly Hills season two begins streaming on Netflix on March 22.
