Mauricio Umansky DRAGGED for Tone-Deaf Post During Pacific Palisades Wildfires!
Amid the devastating LA wildfires, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Mauricio Umansky faces backlash as fans accuse him of using the tragedy to promote his real estate business.
Mauricio took to Instagram to share his thoughts and offer help, writing, “I am praying for all who lost their homes. I’m praying for Los Angeles and for the winds to stop. I am praying for our brave firefighters. This is so devastating myself and The Agency will do whatever we can in our power to help.”
Critics flooded the comments, accusing Mauricio of being insensitive and trying to profit from the tragedy. “You’re not helping, sit down and stay quiet,” one user wrote. Another added, “You’re trying to prey on people and make a quick buck during a hard time.”
Other comments included, “You selling houses right now is so tacky,” “You are insensitive,” and “You’re making a stupid move by doing this.”
Some even brought up past allegations against The Agency, referencing claims that the company fraudulently obtained a PPP loan—claims that Mauricio and his legal team have denied.
Adding fuel to the fire, some commenters couldn’t resist dragging Mauricio’s separation from Kyle Richards into the conversation, with remarks about his personal life sprinkled throughout the criticism.
Despite the backlash, Mauricio and his team appeared focused on helping the community. Just two days after his initial post, The Agency shared details of their efforts to support those affected by the wildfires.
The real estate firm announced the opening of a donation and resource center to provide aid to impacted residents.
While Mauricio has yet to directly respond to the criticism, his actions suggest that his intent was to help, not to advertise.
The timing of Mauricio’s post and the inclusion of The Agency in his statement may have sparked controversy, but his actions in the days that followed aimed to provide tangible support for the wildfire victims.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
