It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, my friends, unless you live near the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Goin’ For Broke. Yes, the hills are alive… with the sound of lawsuuuuits. But what to choose from today? Let’s begin with Queen Kyle Richards and her husband, the always debonair Mauricio Umansky!
Mauricio had a big real estate oopsie over the sale of a $32 million mansion in the Bu. As the kids say, this has gotten messy af. Not only is Mauricio dealing with the initial lawsuit, the RHOBH cast has been dragged into it as well. Boy, it certainly would give many viewers a chuckle if Lisa Vanderpump had to show up for this case #goodbyekyle… If that isn’t enough, in September an additional legal dispute was tacked on the existing battle. Oh no, Mo! Gosh, I wish I could give you some good news for Kyle Mauricio, but here we are. Now it looks like Kyle might need to start stitching up some more caftans to sell, because another suit is headed their way.
Boy this mansion has really become the you stole my goddamn house property that won’t go away. Much to the dismay of Mauricio and The Agency. So far, 2019 hasn’t been a great year for Kyle’s husband. In March, Sweetwater Malibu LLC began a fraud investigation over the sale of the mansion. The company owned the house at the center of the ordeal, sold by Mauricio and The Agency.
The plaintiff alleged Mauricio engaged in “blatant acts of self-dealing, earning secret profits, and both failing to disclose and outright misrepresenting material facts.” Obviously, Mauricio vehemently denied these claims. Unfortunately for The Agency, in June, a judge ruled the case has enough evidence to move forward.

The month of September found Sam Hakim, another potential buyer of the Malibu property, filing an additional suit. He claimed Mo’s business practices leaned towards the shady side of the palm tree. Legal papers show Sam feels Mauricio engaged in “egregious breaches of duty and other despicable conduct”. He wants about $35 million for his troubles. And now we have October!
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, real estate agent, Aitan Segal is now joining the party. Hi Aitan! Apparently, Aitan represented a buyer who offered $40 million to Mauricio. Side-note, this makes Dorit and PK Kemsley’s financial troubles look like peanuts, amirite?

Anyway, Aitan alleged Mauricio worked out a secret deal on the down low to buy the home himself. He stated Mauricio then flipped it for a huge profit. Golly, that sounds familiar! Mauricio sold the home a year later for $69.9 million. With an impressive profit of $37 million. Aitan is demanding $4.5 million in damages for the lost commissions.
Well I don’t know about you, but I’m expecting more of a Court TV angle for the next season of RHOBH. Instead of lunching with the girls, it will be lunching with the lawyers! This is getting very interesting, and it’s not over yet. The hills remain alive with the sound of lawsuuuuuuits!
