Report: Kim Richards is homeless and dealing with “serious issues”
 |
It was revealed yesterday that Kim Richards from the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” had entered rehab, reportedly for alcohol abuse and “serious issues”.
It was discovered today that while viewers watched Kim fall in love – and prepare to move in with – her boyfriend Ken, they have since broken up, leaving Kim without a place to live.
“He’s not in the picture. No one really knows what the deal was with them, but Kim doesn’t live with Ken,” the source says. “She’s basically homeless, staying with various friends. She doesn’t have a home base. It’s not unusual for people to not hear from her for long stretches of time. It’s been that way for years.”
Kim’s erratic behavior, including anxiety attacks and the slurring of words, were explained on the show as a result of medication.
Her fellow housewives have lent their support. Adrienne Maloof told Us Weekly, “I wish her well. It’s a step in the right direction.”
Taylor Armstrong, who has battled her own demons the last few months, sent this message on “Watch What Happens Live:” “I adore Kim and I stand behind her. And if there’s anything I can do to support her [I will]; but if she’s getting healthy what more could we ask.”
Toofab spoke to Lisa Vanderpump Monday, who didn’t address Kim’s issues directly, but talked about this the camaraderie among the cast. “We really do all support each other and love each other. Really. I think it shows through even though we have our moments.”
We all with her well!
Man, this season of RHOBH is painful to watch! Between Kim’s erratic behavior and Taylor losing control, it’s an emotional roller coaster!!

If you’ve listened to Kyle during the show, the “family” owns “several properties”, including a couple that Kim had lived in previously, and including the Palm Springs one that Kim lived in the longest that is now just a vacation home. There is no reason for her to be homeless, I think this is just more created fictional drama.

She looks pretty rough. This is what Paris is going to look like in a few years. I can proudly boast that I have not watched one episode of any of the ‘real’ housewives shows. Most of the supposedly real housewives scare the crap out of me when their pictures are posted on blogs. They are full of fillers, botox, and bad bad bad plastic surgery. And whenever they are on a talk show I watch all they seem to do is yell at one another. That isn’t entertainment to me.

Brandi called out Kim for being high at their first gathering at the beginning of the season and she was right.
People who have serious mental issues or drug problems like Kim do not belong on reality tv shows because the tv show will only exacerbate their problems.
Another obvious example is Taylor Armstrong’s husband who I doubt would have killed himself if he didnt know his abuse of his wife was going to end up splayed across the tv.

Helpful information. Lucky me I found your site by accident, and I am shocked why this twist of fate did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
