I asked for something, he didn’t want to do it, and then I chose to go off on my own,”*** he  continued. ***“I wanted to take care of my family, I wanted to be successful, I wanted to go forward, I wanted to do the most I could, and at the end of the day, I made that decision just to go forward with this thing. There is certainly no bad blood on my side.”*** In a preview for an upcoming episode of *Buying Beverly Hills*, [Mauricio Umansky](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/03/11/rhobh-kathy-hilton-kyle-richards/) opens up about his fallout with the Hilton family which occurred when he left their Hilton & Hyland real estate company. In the clip, Mauricio Umansky calls out brother-in-law [Rick Hilton](https://allabouttrh.com/2022/02/01/kathy-hilton-begs-husband-rick-hilton-to-help-her-get-out-of-rhobh-cast-trip-to-aspen/) for screwing him over in the real estate business. He explains that his fallout with Rick Hilton stems from his not being made a partner in the latter’s real estate agency, Hyland and Hilton, which ultimately led to him leaving to open his own real estate company, *The Agency*. ***“I think I got kind of f–ked by Hilton & Hyland,”*** the real estate mogul revealed in a sneak peek of BBH. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1767566218360205744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1767566218360205744%7Ctwgr%5E4b2f9a76383a5f013edb3c937d5816dfd02172ab%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fallabouttrh.com%2F2024%2F03%2F15%2Fandy-cohen-mauricio-umansky-hilton%2F ***“And when I say f–ked, you know, like, 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 percent of their production.”*** According to Mauricio, he thought he deserved to be made partner due to the success he brought to his brother-in-law’s real estate company. ***“I went to Rick, and I said, ‘I’d really like equity, right, and to be a partner,”*** he explained to several pals and colleagues. However, he was ultimately told ***“no” ***after Rick Hilton spoke with his co-founder Jeff Hyland about making Mauricio a partner. As a result, the 53-year-old knew he had to leave *Hilton & Hyland* and create his own real estate company, but before doing so, he ran the idea past his now-estranged wife, [Kyle Richards](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/kyle-richards/), because he believed it might cause drama within the family. ![Mauricio Umansky, Kathy Hilton, Rick Hilton, Kyle Richards](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/mauricio-scaled.webp)Mauricio Umansky, Kathy Hilton, Rick Hilton, Kyle Richards ***“’This is really going to cause a lot of stress between you, your sister and your family, and I don’t want to do this move of leaving and starting a company if you’re not comfortable,’”*** Mauricio recalls telling Kyle, who is [Kathy Hilton](https://allabouttrh.com/category/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/kathy-hilton/)‘s youngest sister. After Kyle gave Mauricio Umansky her seal of approval, he created *[The Agency](https://allabouttrh.com/2023/04/14/mauricio-umansky-rick-hilton/)*, in 2011, which has become one of the top real estate agencies in the world and even has its own reality show, *[Buying Beverly Hills](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/03/08/kyle-richards-buying-beverly-hills/)*. The bombshell prompted [Paris Hilton to speak out](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/03/13/paris-hilton-slams-mauricio-umansky/) in defense of her dad on social media. ***“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,” ***Paris wrote in the comments section of* *[Queens of Bravo’s Instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/queensofbravo/?hl=en). ***“He would never speak negatively about his family- especially in the press,” ***the 43-year-old star continued. ***“Frankly we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show. It is enough already.”*** > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4bi79SvwFg/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)[A post shared by All About TRH (@allabouttrh)](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4bi79SvwFg/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) Stay glued to *AllAboutTRH* for all the latest news and gossip.
