Kathy Hilton is not going down that easily. According to a new report, the socialite and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star is fighting a woman named Kimberly Heffington in court. Legal documents state that Heffington suffered serious injuries while at Hilton’s home for a charity event. Hilton has responded in new documents, denying the allegations and demanding that Heffington be responsible for her own medical bills.
New court documents obtained by TMZ state that Hilton has denied the allegations brought forth by Heffington, noting that the plaintiff sustained injuries by coming in contact with a “known danger.”
Hilton, known for her philanthropic work, added that she should not be held liable for Heffington’s injuries or medical bills.
For those unfamiliar, Heffington sued Hilton in March 2026, claiming that she was injured while attending a charity event at Hilton’s Bel-Air mansion in August 2024.
Heffington alleged that her foot got stuck on the pavement at Hilton’s home, causing her to stumble, fall, and “land violently on the ground, causing her to suffer severe and permanent injuries, including but not limited to a complex medical meniscus tear to her right knee.”
Hilton was sued for negligence, as court documents stated that the reality star had no warning about potential safety hazards on the property.
Kathy Hilton’s Sisters Were Feuding Several Months Ago
Adding to the drama, Hilton’s sisters, Kim and Kyle Richards, were involved in a dramatic dispute just months ago.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Kyle sued Kim, seeking to have her evicted from a Los Angeles property she was living in.
Kyle claimed in the legal documents that she had been asking Kim to leave her home for years; however, the “Escape to Witch Mountain” star wouldn’t budge.
The court documents stated that Kyle not only asked for possession of her home but also wanted her sister, Kim, to be charged $140/day for each day she stayed after being asked to leave, beginning in November 2024.
While the drama between the two has been consistent since the first season of “RHOBH,” things escalated in late 2024 when Kim was taken into custody by police after reportedly acting belligerently in a Hilton hotel lobby.
Kathy Hilton Opens Up About Friendship With Former ‘RHOBH’ Cast Member Garcelle Beauvais
In May 2025, Hilton opened up about her friend, Garcelle Beauvais, leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after five years.
“I love and adore her. I called her obviously right when I walked off the set from the reunion and talked to her,” Hilton said. “And then we ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later.”
She continued, “And I tried to not bring up too much because I just want her to know that she’s very loved and will be missed. And everybody was shocked.”
Beauvais abruptly left the “RHOBH” season 14 reunion just moments before it wrapped, telling the women she was “out.”
In her dressing room, cameras captured Beauvais being honest about her feelings toward the other women, namely Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John.
“I’m just so f-cking sick of it,” Beauvais said. “I can’t be friends with people like that. I don’t trust them.”
Hilton Fought With Lisa Rinna
Hilton has also had her fair share of feuds on the long-running reality series. Most notably, the socialite and mother to Paris, bumped heads with the show’s biggest villain, Lisa Rinna, in 2022.
During a tense interaction, Hilton labeled Rinna “the biggest bully in Hollywood,” noting that the “Days of our Lives” alum had fought incessantly with other women on the show, including Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, and, of course, her sister Kim.
Rinna And Hilton Are In An OK Place These Days…
Despite the headline-making showdown, Hilton and Rinna are in a good place these days. In a December 2022 interview, Rinna recalled running into Hilton at a press event and having a “lovely” conversation with the 67-year-old.
“All good… all good. All I need to say. We had a fun time last night. We all did. It was a fun night,” Rinna said, brushing off their past feud as TV drama.
“You know, I think, at the end of the day, we do a TV show. So I think that after eight years and all the things that we’ve been through, we’re grown women and we can pretty much get through anything at the end of the day,” she said.
