After the “Buying Beverly Hills” clip surfaced online, Paris Hilton quickly caught wind of Mauricio Umansky’s comments about her father, Rick Hilton. After the Bravo fan account @QueensofBravo shared the clip, Paris slid into the comment section, writing, “My father is a consummate gentleman and has always taken the higher road. He would never speak negatively about his family — especially in the press.” The “Come Alive” singer took things a step further, calling out Umansky for allegedly using the family tension to attract viewers to “Buying Beverly Hills,” adding, “Frankly, we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show. It is enough already.”
After seeing Paris’s critique, Umansky opened up again about his severing ties with Hilton & Hyland. In a March 18, 2024, interview with Entertainment Tonight, the reality TV dad explained, “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,” before reiterating that there was no hard feelings once he left the firm. Additionally, during the chat, Umansky made it clear he was not upset with Paris. “There is certainly no bad blood on my side.”
