Paris Hiltonis defending her fatherRick Hiltonas a “consummate gentleman” followingMauricio Umansky’s decision to detail their professional fallout.
Paris, 43, clapped back at the allegations in the comment section of the fan account@queensofbravo, which had shared the clip.
“My father is a consummate gentleman and has always taken the higher road. He would never speak negatively about his family- especially in the press,” Hiltonwrotein a seemingly since-deleted comment. “Frankly we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show.”
“It is enough already,” she wrote of Umansky.

Mercedes “MJ” JavidofShahs of Sunset, who is also an agent at The Agency, shared her own thoughts under the same Instagram post, writing: “Let him live and speak his truth.”
“No one should be silenced,” she wrote. “It’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for.”
Hilton’s statement comes shortly after the release of the new clip from Umansky’s show, in which he explained how not being made partner impacted his wifeKyle Richards' relationship with her family — including her sister Kathy Hilton and brother-in-law Rick.
“I went to Rick and said, ‘I’d really like equity, right, and to be a partner.’ He went back, talked toJeff [Hyland], got back to me, and basically, I was told no,” Umansky added. “Then I went home, I talked to Kyle, I go, ‘This is really going to cause a lot of stress between you, your sister, and your family, and I don’t want to do this move of leaving and starting a company if you’re not comfortable.”
PEOPLE reached out to Hilton & Hyland for comment earlier this week.
