Mauricio Umansky addressed Paris Hilton’s criticism of his decision to air family drama on his show “Buying Beverly Hills,” explaining his actions as business decisions aimed at taking care of his family and moving forward.

Mauricio Umansky responds to Paris Hilton’s criticism of his decision to air family drama on his show “Buying Beverly Hills,” emphasizing business decisions and his desire to move forward and take care of his family.
Oh, the drama! Mauricio Umansky is in the spotlight again, but this time it’s because of his niece, Paris Hilton. She’s not too happy about comments made on the show *Buying Beverly Hills*. It’s all about family drama, folks.
Umansky, aged 53, had a chat with *Entertainment Tonight* on a breezy Monday, March 18. He said, “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.” He wanted something, didn’t get it, and decided to strike out on his own. His goal? To take care of his family and be successful. Simple as that.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. On March 12, a teaser for season 2 of *Buying Beverly Hills* dropped. Umansky opened up about leaving Rick Hilton’s Hilton & Hyland back in 2011. He started his own real estate company, The Agency. It was a big move, and apparently, it ruffled some feathers.
In the teaser, Umansky didn’t hold back. He felt wronged by Hilton & Hyland. Despite being happy now, he shared that he was responsible for a significant chunk of their production at one point. Drama, right?
But wait, there’s more. Umansky also mentioned in a confessional that he has nothing but respect for Hilton & Hyland. And Rick? Well, he’s family. Yet, this whole situation has put a strain on his wife, Kyle, and her relationship with her family. Paris Hilton, Rick’s daughter, caught wind of this and wasn’t pleased.
Paris took to social media to express her disappointment. She praised her father for always taking the high road and criticized Umansky for exploiting the Hilton name to promote his “lame show.” Ouch.
This isn’t the first rodeo for Umansky when it comes to family drama. *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* has hinted at tensions between him and Rick, affecting Kyle and her family, especially her sister Kathy Hilton (Rick’s wife and Paris’ mom).
In his latest interview, Umansky clarified that there’s no bad blood on his side. He’s just sharing his side of the story.
There’s a book in the mix too. Umansky’s *The Dealmaker*, released in April 2023, delves into the fallout with Rick and Kathy after he started The Agency. But things have mended over time, and Umansky hopes his book will be seen in a positive light, emphasizing his love and respect for the family.
And for those hooked on the real estate drama, *Buying Beverly Hills* season 2 is set to start streaming on Netflix on Friday, March 22. Grab your popcorn, because it sounds like it’s going to be a wild ride.
