Alert – Kathy Hilton accuses Mauricio Umansky of poaching staff and giving just ONE day notice before launching rival The Agency as toxic family feud rages on during RHOBH reunion

Kathy Hilton claimed that Mauricio Umansky gave one-day notice before leaving her husband’s real estate company and poached staff on Wednesday during The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills reunion. 

The 65-year-old socialite and wife of real estate tycoon Richard Hilton, 68, was asked by host Andy Cohen, 55, about the ‘tension’ that was caused when Mauricio, 53, left in 2011 to form his own luxury brokerage firm The Agency.

The season 13 reunion episode was filmed on January 26, weeks before Kathy’s daughter Paris Hilton, 43, blasted her uncle Mauricio for publicly discussing the family feud on his Netflix series Buying Beverly Hills.

‘Well, Kathy, it’s no secret that Mauricio starting The Agency created tension between the families,’ Andy said after Kathy made a late ‘surprise’ entrance to the third and final reunion episode.

Flashbacks were shown of Mauricio telling his wife Kyle Richards, 55, about being approached to start his own company while Kyle and her sister Kathy sat next to each other.

‘Mau even wrote in his book regarding Rick’s company that, “If they paid me what I deserved and showed me an inkling of professional love”, he would have stayed, “but they didn’t see it that way.” Those are all quotes,’ Andy said.

‘When he left, he did call on a Thursday,’ Kathy said. ‘And Rick said, ”OK, when are you planning on leaving?” And he said on Friday. And [Rick] said, You’re family. Just know opening your own business is tough. The door is always open for you. Just don’t poach on my staff or my agents.’

‘And did he?,’ Andy asked.

‘A few. And that put Kyle and I in kind of a funky…’ Kathy said.

Kathy said that Kyle was aware of the circumstances and Kyle insisted that she did not want ‘to get into that stuff.’

‘I really don’t,’ Kyle said.

Kathy continued talking about it and Kyle made a point on Mauricio’s behalf.

‘When he left, he did call on a Thursday,’ Kathy said of Mauricio’s departure. ‘And Rick said, ”OK, when are you planning on leaving?” And he said on Friday. And [Rick] said, You’re family. Just know opening your own business is tough. The door is always open for you. Just don’t poach on my staff or my agents.’

The season 13 reunion episode was filmed on January 26, weeks before Kathy’s daughter Paris Hilton, shown in October 2019 with Kathy and Richard, blasted her uncle Mauricio for publicly discussing the family feud on his new Netflix series Buying Beverly Hills

‘But we also had people that were under him in the Umansky Group at Hilton & Hyland. So he had built his group within Hilton & Hyland,’ Kyle said. ‘I don’t want to talk about business stuff like that.’

Kyle during the reunion episode wiped away tears while discussing the cracks in her marriage with Mauricio that were shown on the Bravo show leading up to the separation they announced last July after 27 years of marriage.

‘So, Kyle, when did things really start to change? Is there an event that stands out as the beginning of what you called your hard year?,’ Andy asked.

‘Like with any marriage, there’s issues that you have, and they come up. And you get busy. And you’ve got kids. My kids were little. I’m working. I’m being a mommy and doing all that. And it gets put aside. And then will come up again. And some of the issues never went away. Or they were never really worked on. And then something, like I said in my interview, happened where I did lose my trust, and …,’Kyle said.

‘Something that he did?,’ Andy asked.

‘I care about my family first. And, I mean, I tried. I really did try. And so then when I couldn’t, the kind of the things that I had been, I don’t want to say putting up with, but, you know, just became more apparent to me, I guess,’ Kyle said.

‘And I just couldn’t, I guess I couldn’t do that anymore. And I finally just had a breaking point. But I really thought it would come back. I thought, ok, well, this is just a temporary thing,’ she added.

‘You thought the marriage would come back?,’ Andy asked.

‘Yeah,’ Kyle said,

‘And?,’ Andy said.

‘And then it didn’t,’ Kyle said

Kyle also was grilled about her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade, 29, and said there was nothing going on between them and they were not a couple.

‘I love her and she’s my friend. And I love her,’ Kyle said.

Andy pressed it and asked Kyle if she could see herself in the future with Morgan.

‘I don’t know. I don’t know,’ Kyle said.

‘That’s not a ”no”,’ Andy said.

Sutton Stracke, 52, after complaining of feeling ‘hot’ fell backward onto the lap of Garcelle Beauvais, 57, and she was also shaking.

She was evaluated by a medic and rested in her trailer before being taken to a hospital emergency room for treatment.

Garcelle went with Sutton to the hospital and they missed the end of the reunion.

Andy asked the women at the end of the reunion what they each were taking away from the past season.

‘While I may have lost what I felt was my happily ever after, I am strong enough. And I’m going, I will have my happily ever after no matter what,’ Kyle said.

‘A lot of optimism ending the season, which I like,’ Andy said.

Andy noted that they missed Garcelle and Sutton and thanked the ladies for a great season.

‘I’m Andy Cohen. Good night,’ Andy said.

‘Make sure you remind everyone who you are because no one really knows you,’ Dorit Kemsley teased him.

A picture of Sutton was shown at the end of the episode with an update saying she was making a full recovery after a brief stint in the emergency room.
