More drama is unfolding between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and her sister, Kathy Hilton. Although the fighting between the two siblings has been escalating over the past few weeks, Kyle is now no longer speaking to her sister. The two families are fighting over the recent business conflicts involving Kyle’s husband and the family’s real estate company.
According to the Daily Mail , Kyle was recently spotted out and about in Beverly Hills with her husband, Mauricio Umansky, and their children. The recent sighting is confirmation that Kyle is sticking by her husband’s side following the news that Kathy and her husband were not pleased with Umansky starting his own real estate venture.
At the same time, the feud that is escalating between Kyle and Kathy is only the start of the family’s problems. In fact, in an interview with the Daily Mail , Kyle revealed that she is still not on good terms with her other sister and fellow RHOBH star, Kim Richards.
“Kim and I aren’t getting along well right now. It’s been obviously a difficult time this last year,” Kyle told the outlet. “Things are good. She is good. She is healthy, so that always helps our relationship.”
As fans may well recall, Kim had a particularly rough year in the previous season of the hit reality show. Along with being arrested for public intoxication, Kim was in an out of rehab facilities trying to get her life back on track. Following her numerous alcohol induced incidents, the relationship between the sisters only got worse.
At the same time, while the relationship between Kim and Kyle seems to have reached a tipping point, the situation is even worse between Kyle and Kathy. In fact, the fighting between the two families has officially reached a new low.
“Kyle and Kim are still working on their issues, and now, Kathy and Kyle aren’t speaking,” an inside source explained to People . “Kathy’s husband Rick is still mad at Mauricio for leaving [Rick’s real estate company] Hilton & Hyland and starting The Agency. The animosity has been building up for a while. Mauricio isn’t even welcome in the Hilton house.”
Apparently, the ongoing feud originated between Mauricio and Rick and quickly affected the relationship between Kathy and Kyle. In fact, fans watched as the feud developed in the early episodes of Season 6 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hillswhen Kyle was told that she was not welcomed at Nicky Hilton’s London wedding.
“Kathy is mad that Kyle brought Nicky into the fight,” the insider stated. “There is so much drama in that family. It’s sad that even over the holidays, they still can’t get along.”
Despite being uninvited, Kyle eventually chose to attend Nicky’s wedding, even though her husband was still not welcome at the event. Although many fans were surprised to see Kyle in attendance, the reality star recently explained her reasoning in an official Bravo blog post.
“I’m sure it’s confusing to some of you as to why I attended the wedding without my husband and two kids.” Kyle shared in her post. “I love Nicky so much, and the idea of not witnessing her walk down the aisle was weighing heavily on me. My husband is the one who pushed me to go. He kept telling me that I will never get that moment back. He said that all families go through tough times but they WILL be resolved, and if I didn’t go we would all look back with regret.”
Fans can continued to watch the drama unfold as season 6 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Tuesday nights on Bravo.
