The family of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Mauricio Umansky has filed a lawsuit against his father Eduardo Umansky's longtime girlfriend, Simin Tabibnia, alleging financial elder abuse. Sharon Umansky Bento, acting as Eduardo's conservator, claims Simin misused hundreds of thousands of dollars from his accounts amid his cognitive decline.
Oh, the drama in the Umansky clan just keeps spilling! According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mauricio's sister Sharon Umansky Bento stepped in as conservator for their dad Eduardo after his cognitive issues started showing up big time. A doctor noted his mental decline as far back as 2021, which messed with his career as a real estate agent. Fast forward to late 2024, and things got messy: Eduardo was bouncing checks left and right, with his retirement account plummeting from $1.2 million to just $610,000 in no time flat. 😱
The lawsuit accuses Simin Tabibnia of straight-up financial abuse, claiming she blew through Eduardo's cash without a peep to the family. In 2023 alone, she allegedly dropped over $150,000 on payments and gifts for herself—like jewelry that screams 'treat yo' self' but at someone else's expense. And it didn't stop there: tens of thousands more went to her facelift and car payments. The totals? A whopping $22,750 in 2022, $153,314 in 2023, and $225,000 in 2024, adding up to $401,064. The family wants more than $400,000 back in damages. Messy much?
This isn't the first clash—months ago, the Umanskys got a restraining order against Simin to protect Eduardo. Flip the script, though: last year, Simin filed her own restraining order against him, alleging abuse, which the family flat-out denies. We've reached out to Simin's attorney for her side, but crickets so far. Is this elder abuse tea or just a bitter breakup gone legal? Stay tuned, because family feuds like this? Iconic chaos. 👀
