Nicky Hilton Joins Paris in Defending Mom Kathy Amid RHOBH Tequila Controversy!
Nicky Hilton is standing by her mother, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Kathy Hilton, after the popular Bravo personality was shaded for promoting her tequila brand on the show.
Kathy’s youngest daughter tossed shade right back at her mother’s co-stars Tuesday, after her aunt, Kyle Richards, and others mocked Kathy for pitching her tequila, Casa Del Sol, on a recent RHOBH episode.
“I think all of the women go on and promote their products,” Nicky, 38, told Page Six at the God’s Love We Deliver ice cream social in New York City.
Nicky added—“I don’t see why she should be an exception.”
Kathy encouraged her cast mates to “bottoms up” the tequila after a cast dinner. Kathy, Nicky, and Nicky’s husband, James Rothschild, are investors in the tequila brand. Kyle, 53, rudely interrupted her sister with a chirping sound before turning her attention to Erika Jayne and Lisa Rinna.
Rinna later asked for a shot of her “friend” Kendall Jenner’s tequila brand within Kathy’s earshot, after learning that the bar had Casa Del Sol.
“Can I try a little shot of that 818 Tequila? I want to see what that tastes like,” Rinna said, during a cast outing in Aspen.
“I just want to try it because it’s my friend Kendall Jenner’s tequila. I just haven’t tried it,” she added.
Kathy left the scene after ripping her co-star for her “f–king disgusting” behavior.
“[Rinna says that] In front of me here right now and Kyle doesn’t do a f–king thing,” she said. “C’mon, she doesn’t say anything and I’m pissed off.”
Rinna later shaded Kathy in a confessional spot, commenting—“Of course they have Kathy’s tequila and I have a sneaking suspicion that Kathy put it there herself. Kathy made sure that tequila was there and good for her.”
Kathy’s eldest daughter, Paris, 41, took to Twitter after the episode to weigh in, writing that Kyle’s actions were “so unkind.”
Fans immediately pointed out that Rinna’s wine brand had been featured this season and her beauty brand had been highlighted on the show multiple times. Viewers know that Bravo has spotlighted Kyle’s husband, Mauricio Umanksy’s real estate firm, “The Agency,” on multiple occasions over the years, as well as Kyle’s various ventures.
One fan said—“So they drank Lisa’s nasty wine but couldn’t give Kathy a chance to prompt her tequila Kyle is a jealous and toxic sister.”
Another person chimed in—“Kyle was so clearly trying to sabotage Kathy’s tequila scene. The show has served as a decade-long advertisement for The Agency, but god forbid Kathy takes a moment to promote her daughter’s business. What a shitty sister.”
One Twitter user wrote—“Also, riddle me this! Why can’t Kathy promote her tequila yet we have to hear ab Rinna’s lips & wine, Dorit’s swim & bridal wear, Kyle’s stores, Asher’s music, Erika’s singing & hair line. The list could go on & on! Just be a damn friend & promote it or at least try it!”
Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Wednesdays at 8 pm, ET, on Bravo.
