RHOBH’s Kathy Hilton ‘demands more money & REFUSES to film season 12’ until Bravo pays up

KATHY Hilton is reportedly refusing to film season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Sources close to the production claim that Paris Hilton’s mom is waiting for more money from Bravo before she will film.

Cameras have already been rolling for the new season for several weeks but Kathy, 62, has been absent.

TMZ reports that Kathy – who was a friend of the cast last season – was offered a contract to film but she’s not signed it yet because the money wasn’t enough.

The contract was reportedly for Kathy to continue as a ‘friend of the cast.’

Kathy’s sister Kyle, 52, who is a full time cast member, remained tight-lipped about Kathy’s absence.

Asked by TMZ about Kathy returning to the Bravo show, Kyle said she’s been too busy with Paris’ wedding planning.

But the outlet’s source insists it’s because Kathy is holding out for more money.

Many of the RHOBH stars including Kyle filmed an event at Sutton Stracke’s store on Wednesday, but Kathy didn’t go.

KATHY’S TEARS

On an August episode of the show, Kathy broke down as she said her “biggest regret” of the past decade is feuding with her sister Kyle.

The famous siblings had a decade-long fight with “zero communication” on-and-off for years before recently rekindling when Kathy Hilton finally decided to join the Bravo show.  

During the episode Kyle, went over for dinner at her older sisters house when the pair began talking about their late mother, Kathleen. 

They discussed how nice it was to be happily enjoying each other’s company following a tumultuous relationship.

In a confessional, a producer asked Kathy what her “biggest regret” of the past decade when she wasn’t talking to Kyle. 

“Being together,” she replied as she began to sob and had to collect herself for a moment. 

As she continued crying for several more seconds over the time not spent together, she then asked: “What a waste, ya know?”

Their feud began around 2010 when Kathy’s husband, Hilton Hotel tycoon Rick Hilton, didn’t make Kyle’s spouse, Mauricio Umansky, a partner in his real estate firm. 

Mauricio furiously left and went on to find The Agency Real Estate – which now has nearly 500 agents and is heavily featured on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing. 

The tension got so bad, Kathy even uninvited Kyle from her daughter, Nicky Hilton’s, wedding.

MISSED SO MUCH

However, Kyle was re-invited and did attend but the sisters missed many events together throughout the years. 

Back in 2015, they also got into a legal battle over Kyle’s short-lived television venture, American Woman, that was based on their family’s life. 

“I had my lawyer send her a letter saying absolutely do not include anything to do with me or my family in this show,” Kathy told the Bravo cameras. 

They also have a middle sister, Kim Richards, 56, who was an original main cast member but left the show after season two due to sobriety struggles – though she pops up still at times.

Kyle has mentioned many times over the years how if she is “on good terms” with one sister, she is typically “not on good terms” with the other. 

Kathy has proved to be a big success on RHOBH.

Like sisters Kim and Kyle she began working as an actress and appeared in shows like Nanny And The Professor, Bewitched, Family Affair, Happy Days and The Rockford Files, before retiring in 1979.

She met Rick at the age of fifteen while attending a private high school and they wed in 1979.
