“I felt like I deserved something. I asked for something, he didn’t want to do it, and then I chose to go off on my own,” Mauricio explained. “I wanted to take care of my family, I wanted to be successful, I wanted to go forward, I wanted to do the most I could, and at the end of the day, I made that decision just to go forward with this thing. There is certainly no bad blood on my side.”

Mauricio will also be sharing new details about his split from Kyle Richards in the new season.

Season two of Buying Beverly Hills is set to drop on Friday, March 22 on Netflix.
