Kyle Richards took to Instagram on Wednesday to share several photos of herself and sister Kathy at a pre-Oscars party, following a controversial teaser clip release for Mauricio Umansky’s show, “Buying Beverly Hills,” just 24 hours earlier. In the snapshots, Richards, 55, looked stunning in a sexy see-through lace midi dress, while her older sister opted for a more demure frilly pink A-line shift. The sisters posed together on the red carpet and were photographed with Paris Jackson at the event, presenting a united front despite the recent stir in the media.
Despite the public appearance together, Kyle Richards notably refrained from wishing her former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-star, Kathy Hilton, a happy birthday, despite Hilton turning 65 on the same day. However, Richards reposted a sweet birthday message from a fan dedicated to Kathy on her Instagram story, suggesting that a complicated relationship dynamic was at play.
Meanwhile, family tensions were further fueled when Kathy Hilton’s daughter, Paris Hilton, called out Umansky earlier in the week for discussing past conflicts with her father, Rick Hilton, on his Netflix show. In a teaser clip released, Umansky reflected on his departure from Rick Hilton’s real estate firm to start his own company, citing disagreements with the family and his professional trajectory.
While Rick Hilton has not publicly addressed Umansky’s recollection of their feud, Paris Hilton criticized her uncle for airing family grievances in the media. Paris emphasized her father’s integrity and expressed frustration with Umansky’s use of the Hilton name for publicity.
Despite the renewed attention on family discord, Umansky asserted in an interview in April 2023 that they had reconciled their differences. He hoped his book would clarify his perspective without exacerbating tensions within the family, emphasizing his love and respect for them.
