The Hilton’s stick together.
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kathy Hilton’s youngest daughter, Nicky Hilton, threw some shade at her mom’s co-stars over an incident dubbed “tequila-gate.”
Nicky’s aunt Kyle Richards was among the reality stars who mocked Kathy for promoting her tequila brand, Casa Del Sol, on a recent episode of the Bravo show.
“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 on Tuesday.
“I don’t see why she should be an exception.”
Kathy, 63, initially gathered the women after a group dinner and encouraged them to “bottoms up” the tequila that she invested in with Nicky and James Rothschild.
“I’d like you guys to try,” Kathy said, before sister Kyle, 53, interrupted her with a buzzing sound and continued her conversation with Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne.
Fuel was added to the fire when Rinna, 59, asked for a shot of her “friend” Kendall Jenner’s tequila, 818, in front of Kathy, who informed her that the bar was stocked with Casa Del Sol.
“Can I try a little shot of that 818 Tequila? I want to see what that tastes like,” Rinna said during the cast’s recent trip to Aspen.
“I just want to try it because it’s my friend Kendall Jenner’s tequila. I just haven’t tried it,” she added.
The former soap star later said in a confessional, “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.”
The socialite then slammed her co-star for her “f–king disgusting” behavior and told the group she was leaving.
“[Rinna says that] In front of me here right now and Kyle doesn’t do a f–king thing,” she continued, referencing her half-sister.
“C’mon, she doesn’t say anything and I’m pissed off.”
Kathy’s eldest daughter, 41-year-old Paris Hilton, also weighed in when she took to Twitter and labeled her aunt’s actions as “so unkind.”
Others were quick to point out that Rinna received a dedicated tasting of her brand, Rinna Wines, on “RHOBH.” Additionally, her husband, Mauricio Umansky, frequently gets his real estate company The Agency featured on the reality show.
Nicky, who is a newly-appointed board member of the food and nutrition services charity God’s Love We Deliver, said she wasn’t clued into her mom’s future reality TV plans.
“I have no idea,” the mom-of-three said, when asked whether Kathy would return for another season of “RHOBH.”
“We haven’t really talked about it.”
