Paris Hilton recently took to Instagram to defend her father, Rick Hilton, against comments made by her uncle, Mauricio Umansky. Umansky, in an upcoming episode of 'Buying Beverly Hills,' discussed his past fallout with the Hilton family after leaving their real estate agency over a decade ago.
In the episode preview, Umansky mentioned feeling mistreated by Hilton & Hyland and expressed disappointment in not being made a partner despite his significant contributions to the agency. This led him to start his own real estate firm, The Agency, in 2011.
The rift between Umansky and the Hilton family, particularly Rick Hilton, had repercussions beyond business, affecting Umansky's relationship with his now-estranged wife, Kyle Richards, who is related to the Hiltons through her sister Kathy Hilton.
Umansky had previously detailed the family drama in his book 'The Dealmaker' and reiterated his perspective in a recent interview, emphasizing his love for the family despite the past conflicts.
While Umansky's comments have stirred controversy, Paris Hilton defended her father's integrity, stating that he would never speak negatively about family in the press and expressing frustration over Umansky's use of the Hilton name for publicity.
Despite the lingering tensions, Umansky expressed hope for reconciliation, emphasizing the factual nature of his accounts and his enduring love for the Hilton family.
