Mauricio Umansky says that his sister in law, Kathy Hilton and her husband Rick Hilton, were angry with him after he decided to stop working for Rick and start his own company.
“He and Kathy held tremendous anger toward us, which is not the way I choose to live my life,” he wrote in his new memoir, The Dealmaker, per Page Six.
“Naturally, Kyle was very hurt by their reaction, and it was a difficult pill for her to swallow. So I went home to Kyle and told her what had happened,” he continued. “She agreed with me that it was very unjust. But, ultimately, it didn’t matter what we thought. In my opinion, Rick wasn’t going to change his mind, and he wasn’t prepared to pay me what I’d earned.”
Mauricio added that if they has “paid me what I deserved,” promoted him to partner and “showed me an inkling of professional love,” he would have stayed. “For their part, they didn’t see it that way. They couldn’t understand how I could just make the decision overnight and not give them a chance to convince me otherwise.”
Things are already tense between Kyle and Kathy. Mauricio’s book will not help matters.
