Mauricio Umansky Battles Family Turmoil Amid Conservatorship and Legal Woes

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Mauricio Umansky has endured a difficult year. After 27 years of marriage, he separated from Kyle Richards. Then, he joined Dancing with the Stars.

Mauricio’s personal life has been in the spotlight. But now, things have taken a darker turn. He is in a legal battle to protect his elderly father, Eduardo Umansky.

His father’s girlfriend, Simin, is accused of exploiting him. The escalating conflict has left the family in turmoil, adding yet another layer of stress to Mauricio’s already complicated life.

Conservatorship Filing: Protecting Eduardo from Financial Abuse

Mauricio Umansky and his sister, Sharon Umansky Benton, are fighting for control over their 81-year-old father’s affairs.

Court documents say the siblings allege that Simin has manipulated and abused Eduardo for money. They claim she has taken over $260,000 from Eduardo through “undue influence” and that he is now isolated from his family.

The siblings want a conservatorship to manage their father’s finances. They fear Simin’s intentions are not genuine. “Eduardo is unable to resist undue influence and fraud,” the filing states. It adds that Simin’s behavior over the past 18 months is worrisome.

Simin, however, insists she and Eduardo have been in a committed relationship for 17 years. She alleges that Eduardo was even planning to propose before Sharon intervened to stop him. This has added fuel to an already volatile situation.

Restraining Order Sparks Physical Altercation Claims

The family’s legal fight took a more dramatic turn when Sharon requested a restraining order against Simin. Sharon alleged that Simin physically attacked her during a confrontation after dropping Eduardo off at his home.

“She immediately started verbally attacking me, saying I had no right to visit my father,” Sharon stated in her court filing. Things escalated when Sharon pulled out her phone to record the incident. “She grabbed my arm and bit me,” Sharon claimed.

Simin denied these allegations, insisting Sharon was the aggressor. Both parties are in a battle over whether to restrict Simin from contacting Eduardo. Mauricio supports his sister’s efforts to protect their father.

As if the conservatorship case wasn’t enough, Mauricio Umansky is also defending himself in a separate lawsuit. It involves alleged misuse of Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relator LLC filed a lawsuit. It accuses Mauricio and his firm, The Agency, of fraud. They fraudulently obtained $3.5 million in government loans. The plaintiffs argue that the business, which serves high-net-worth clients, did not need the loans to remain afloat.

According to the lawsuit, The Agency saw revenue increase from $6 billion in 2019 to $11.2 billion in 2021, further fueling accusations of greed.

Mauricio’s legal team has dismissed the claims as “baseless.” They say Relator is just a third-party firm trying to profit from whistleblower lawsuits. “This is a case about greed during a national health emergency,” Relator stated in court documents, while Mauricio insists the accusations are “absurd.”

A Year of Personal and Professional Fallout for Mauricio and Kyle Richards

Mauricio Umansky’s legal battles follow his split from Kyle Richards. Her new lifestyle and close friendship with country singer Morgan Wade fueled romance rumors. Kyle has leaned on her sister, Kathy Hilton, during the separation.

Mauricio, however, seems focused on reinventing himself, both personally and professionally. He has been seen with his new girlfriend, Nikita Kahn. His stint on Dancing with the Stars shows his attempt to move on.

However, these efforts are undoubtedly clouded by the family struggles at home. The legal fight over Eduardo’s conservatorship and Mauricio’s troubles could hurt his public image. RHOBH fans eagerly await the 14th season to see his separation from Kyle.
