“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 13 has ended. Fans were sad to hear about long-term star Kyle Richards’ split from her husband Mauricio Umansky, and many wanted more details than Richards shared during the season or reunion show.
Surprisingly, clips from season 2 of Umansky’s Netflix reality show, “Buying Beverly Hills”, surfaced, offering more insight into the business disagreement between him and his brother-in-law Rick Hilton, as well as more details about his and Richards’ separation..
The 10-episode 2nd season of “Buying Beverly Hills” will be available on Netflix on March 22. Ahead of the premiere, Andy Cohen reacted to the new clips from the series on his SiriusXM show RadioAndy. Find out what Cohen had to say below.
Andy Cohen Reacts to ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ Revelations
On his radio show, Cohen first talked about the “Buying Beverly Hills” promo where Umansky discussed the origins of his real estate firm, The Agency, and how it came about due to the conflict between him and Hilton after Umansky initially requested to be a partner at Hilton & Hyland.
“We will address this tonight [on part 3 of the RHOBH season 13 reunion],” Cohen said. “We will hear Kathy and Kyle’s perspective tonight on the ‘Beverly Hills’ reunion. Many people online are saying that I or Bravo should be angry about Mauricio sharing details on Netflix on his show. But a lot of what he’s sharing is his own story to tell, and what Kyle is sharing on ‘Beverly Hills’ is her side of the story.”
Cohen went on to explain Richards’ decision to remain quiet on certain topics, including her estranged husband’s relationship with the Hiltons. “Some people think, ‘Oh Bravo should be furious. Why is he saying this on his show?’ Well, it’s his own show on Netflix. And in the case of this Hilton & Hyland matter, I can’t speak for Kyle on any level but my instinct is that she only wanted to go so far on her show because she didn’t want to further complicate an already complex relationship with her sister. So there you go,” Cohen added.
Andy Cohen Receives Kathy Hilton’s Perspective
Cohen asked Richards and her sister Kathy Hilton about their views on the relationship between Umansky and Rick Hilton during part 3 of the RHOBH reunion.
“When he left, he called on a Thursday and Rick said ‘Okay, when are you planning on leaving?’ and [Mauricio] said, ‘On Friday.’ And [Rick] said, ‘You’re family. Just know opening your own business is tough. Just know the door is always open for you, just don’t poach on my staff or my agents,” Kathy said.
Cohen then inquired if Umansky did poach any agents, to which Kathy confirmed, “A few, and that put Kyle and I in a somewhat awkward position.”
Richards was firm about not revisiting the past, fearing it would reignite old tensions in the family, though she did defend Umansky by confirming that he had agents working under him in the Umansky Group at Hilton & Hyland before starting the Agency.
