missy jo April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Kim best line this whole season "Blah blah blah. Right?" And I bet that's about all she'll come up with now. Instead of making amends and apologizing to everyone she tortured and threatened this season. 6 Link to comment

WireWrap April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 (edited) We know that Kim is capable of driving under the influence because we've seen her do it on the show in season 2. It's not like this is something that she is incapable of. Yes, we have seen Km drive her car under the influence! https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT0T1VyeUF4brsu1dM-ZOItyLj295yDwkT1kEjp44DfM1_P6gPe IMO, it is because of this that the HWs, until this season, were always seen in limos and not driving their own cars. Kim is the only one we have not seen driving her private car this season and I believe it is because production new she was actively using/getting high.

njbchlover April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 I expect a fine and some community service. Community Service working around patients who have been severely bitten by animals would be a good wake up call for her.

I can't imagine what this could do to him. 4 Link to comment
GreatKazu April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Judging others here as lacking empathy -- esp after the heartfelt posts of the last few weeks -- strikes me as odd, at best. But this is getting close to board on board, so I'll just leave it at that. Well said. One thing that may keep Kim from being clean, is how her body reacts to not having any drugs or alcohol in her system. Detox is a muthafucking bitch. It is one thing I truly feel for any addict. When I asked one family member why he was so resistant to going back to rehab, his response was detox was extremely painful for him. That was just one family member. I heard a lot of other reasons, but detox was the number one reason. The second reason was they didn't want to face the truth = the reason that got them addicted in the first place. With that said, for all the times Kim proclaimed, "I have been sober for three years!!" It would have been nice if any of her family members had told her, "And we have been living with your addiction for OVER TWENTY YEARS!!" 9 Link to comment
kitticup April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 (edited) I saw the episode tonight. I was very surprised by LisaV. she totally had Kyle's back and it was obvious to me that she is as done with Kim as she is with Brandi. Unsurprisingly, Kim was awful. She was talking over everyone. I don't see why Andy did not shut her down. Brandi is full of it. That line about everyone needing an intervention was complete BS. It's something she made up after the fact to cover the plain obvious meaning of her words that everyone needs to be at an intervention for Kim vs the strained I meant everyone needs to have an intervention. I am glad Kyle called out Brandi about her hatred for Kyle. It is very bizarre. I liked LisaR on this one, but not so much in the first reunion episode. It isn't fair that everyone has to let Kim speak and get shut down for/by Kim. It is always what Kim needs, feels, wants. that is such BS. Kim is over50 years she is an adult not some special snowflake. If Kim falls off the wagon or hurts herself that is entirely on Kim. It is not fair that everyone should be bound by her emotional abuse. Eta to fix typos. Edited April 17, 2015 by kitticup 9 Link to comment
zoeysmom April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 I believe Brandi drove. Bravo has not show Kim driving her own car since season 2. Didn't drive up in a Bentley when she was buying luggage with her daughter and lipstick dildo? I recall her parking about two feet from the curb and thinking can she afford a Bentley? Maybe to go to Paris or Puerto Rico??? Probably a rental. I can't imagine after they filmed Kim driving to Paul's office they would ever want to see her drive again. I do agree Kim driving does strike fear in the hearts of LA drivers anywhere. In any event I think Kim takes a limo because she is entitled to it. I notice Monty is being taxied around in a limo these days-with his Big Gulp. 1 Link to comment

zoeysmom April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Is that a vodka tonic she's clutching? Zoeysdad is anxious to hear how Kim ordered a virgin vodka tonic and then got mad when the bartender cut her off. It will be all The Polo Lounge's fault. How was Kim to know there was vodka in a vodka tonic. Didn't he know that Kim was secure in her sobriety? If the published reports are true Kim was cut off an hour before she was escorted off the premises. I wonder if she was bugging the other patrons for a drink? Or perhaps she went there on a date and things turned sour. Once again they showed #3 of the Reunion. I think Kim was probably dreading the days until this aired. She had to have felt very uncomfortable when Brandi kept saying she was washing her hands of things between she and Kyle. I am curious if there was anyone in the audience during filming that perhaps was able to reliably relate what went down at the Reunion prior to it airing. 6 Link to comment

Oh, I know.... KINGSLEY!!! Kingsley's DAD is a child support scofflaw!! Send in the SPCA! VanderPump made her do it? WHAT? That sounds like something BRANDI would say, just to be a beyotch. Plus really, who ARE Kimmie's "people" exactly? She can't pay for the medical bills of some poor elderly lady when Kingsley bit her, so WHO in their right mind would sign up for PR for Kimmie?? Pretty sure there'd be no $$ in it... And the old saw.. Monty's DYING and she's planning a WEDDING..... For the love of Pete, that poor Monty is not only suffering with CANCER, he's got this stupid bitch blaming him for her own frickin' problems. I think I'd just go rent an apartment and call in Hospice and be done with it. Like what in the fresh HELL?? And for cryin' out loud, the WEDDING.... IS NUMBER TWO. Girl is ALREADY MARRIED. I know, sorry to yell but this shit drive me sraight up the friggin' wall! Hopefully her kids will cut her off, her sisters will cut her off, Monty will cut her off and Kingsley will bark at her until she gets her shit straight. I see no other way for her.

tulip555 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 No compassion here. She has access to a cure. If it was stage four lung cancer I'm right with you. She has the support both in family and in money to get and keep sober. She is so delusional that she signs up for a reality show that follows her with a camera. So she can get compassion when she is actually sober. And until she takes responsibility for her actions I won't believe she's sober. I absolutely agree.....she has had so much support to get her life in order and she only has herself to blame......I speak on this subject as I am a recovering alcoholic myself....I say this in the present tense as it is a continuing proceess. Btw, I kicked a cop myself at a wedding reception. I was drunk and started running toward a railroad track. I was stopped, but I was so out of control that people did not know what else do. 12 Link to comment

Sincerely Yours April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 (edited) I guess you've never spent much time at an oncologist? I've had to take two family members to treatments and believe me what I saw in the waiting rooms and the conversations I've had with those suffering would give you a much different perspective. Their problems are far more complex than a pampered, rich celebrities' struggle with alcoholism. In addition to the physical toll it takes, the potential loss of life (and leaving behind children) there are many who go bankrupt getting treated. Not to mention, many of these people become science experiments, with multiple surgeries, loss of limbs, chemo ports installed.. Much different than a wealthy woman who relapses and then blames everyone else for her issues. My point was, I highly doubt during their very real struggle there are people chastising them as they struggle to get a handle on the disease. All I know is that even though Kim's illness isn't driving her to maddening actions severe enough that end up causing others to do acts that land them in jail for 10 to life she's being lumped into the most heinous camp of ugly offenders whose illnesses caused them to do great harm. Yes, she's probably put her family through emotional hell, and her children had to witness it as well as. Scarring and family dysfunction but that's far from being a monster who deserves no compassion. I'm not saying that she shouldn't receive any backlash or grief for the pain her addiction has caused but I'm saying that life's hard, some people can steam through and persevere while others aren't built as sturdy. I don't think extremes are necessary. Walking on eggshells one extreme. Cutting her off and treating her like a leper by family and friends the other extreme. There's a looooooooooooooooooooot of room in the middle to explore that I would hope those closest to her try to explore. In my world, you don't punch a clock or wait for the timer to ding where you say "is my shift over yet". My "shift" wasn't over until my mom passed. My "shifts" won't be over with my siblings using the same formula however I did find a balance that didn't completely swallow me up while at the same time keeping my resentments and judgments from overflowing onto them. I allowed their struggles to be their battle to win while I showed unwaivering support. I stepped in when I could but I also put my hands up in defeat when it was too much and kept my fingers crossed for a positive outcome. Dilemma by dilemma. That's life. Now that's the life if you chose to stay within the parameters of an addicts life. Of course the option to cut complete ties is very acceptable decision and I think it's everyone's right to do that to but there needs to be a decisiveness whatever choice is made. That's the reality. Easier said than done is a secondary concern. It needs to happen so that a clear direction is posed and healing can have a chance to be the focus and not the shame, grieve and guilt the addict is constantly faced with if they have people in their lives that continue to keep and add to the list of their failures. Even though a big part of recovery means taking responsibility it's not the only challenge to get through and I feel like everyone gets so caught up in that part and minimize the difficulty of that detail. I just think to much emphasize is put on the "victims" and not on the sad situation as a whole which also includes the addict. My opinion and my opinion only is that Kim doesn't fall into the unforgivable addict. You know the one's. That steal, beat family members to get a fix. Alcoholic fathers and mothers that beat their children during their drunken hazes. Drive drunk, leave kids home alone to fed for themselves. Child neglect. Aside from some information that we have about Mauricio and Kyle helping Kim financially (which still isn't more than picking up small comments said by Kyle about treating Kim like a second wife and Kim not being able to handle a mortgage), assumptions that Kyle practically raised Kim's kids and that she is a very very unruly drunk. I don't see her as a lost cause. Johnny Cash struggled with his addictions all his life with good patches and bad but some people can at least get through life with more good than bad with the right love and support. Sometimes letting the reality sink in that Kim's never going to completely kick the habit opens doors to ideas and practices that may create a manageable life. It's not only worth it if she gets and stays sobers unwaveringly for the rest of her life. At this point I think Kim will always be wobbly, fall down and completely fail. Now it's about those who want to stick around and kept steadying her as she stumbles through this disease. Good, bad, ugly and for better or worse. Either choose yes or choose no but this limbo of tears and victimhoom, blame and anger does absolutely nothing for any sort of possible recovery. Whether it be temporary or permanent. Here's hoping Kim finds it. Edited April 17, 2015 by Sincerely Yours 7 Link to comment

Satchels of gold April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 (edited) I have been sitting here trying to find the right words to express how I'm feeling. It's so easy to jump into straight snark as they comes more easily to me. I think there some very lucky people on this board who have not had to engage with an addict and might find it highly offensive that others almost appear giddy about Kims arrest. I honestly don't think anyone here really delights in someone else's suffering (ok maybe a few!) it's just that when you have a history with addicts you never get to have that satisfactory moment of "see I wasn't crazy , he/ she really is using, I told you so" . You don't have it ,because in that moment where a relapse happens you are too busy bailing them out of jail, trying to find a rehab that accepts your insurance or attending their funeral. Most of us have been lied to, stolen from and had our hearts broken yet again as we beleive that this time the outcome really will be different. I can't explain the anger of knowing you are being lied to yet the guilt for not trusting someone you care about. I think this arrest allows people to play out their own "see I told you moment" that we all longed for. It's vindication by proxy. It's also safe because nobody was hurt and we all know help for Kim is a phone call away. No one would be having this reaction if Kim overdosed and killed herself.

chlban April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Anyone else besides me immediately think that the "source" for this story was Brandi? Well, of course it's not Kim's fault. It's Kyle, Lisa V, Lisa R, Eileen, Monty, President Obama and Fidel Castro's fault. I do feel bad for her children. They must be embarrassed and worried that she will end up killing herself and, however awful she is, I am sure her children still love her and hope for the best. This will not be a wake up call for Kim. She certainly will not serve any time for this, likely won't even be fined. She will deny, blame and lie like a rug because she is a horrible person, drunk or sober. I have no sympathy for her at all. None. 11 Link to comment

My opinion and my opinion only is that Kim doesn't fall into the unforgivable addict. You know the one's. That steal, beat family members to get a fix. Alcoholic fathers and mothers that beat their children during their drunken hazes. Drive drunk, leave kids home alone to fed for themselves. Child neglect. Aside from some information that we have about Mauricio and Kyle helping Kim financially (which still isn't more than picking up small comments said by Kyle about treating Kim like a second wife and Kim not being able to handle a mortgage), assumptions that Kyle practically raised Kim's kids and that she is a very very unruly drunk. I don't see her as a lost cause. Johnny case struggled with his addictions all his life with good patches and bad but some people can at least get through life with more good than bad with the right love and support. Here's hoping Kim finds it. It's never too late. I belong to a group where people in their 80s are struggling to get sober. Now that's gangster right there. 11 Link to comment
chlban April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 That's weird. I never saw the Vanderpump in anything that remotely looked like a wedge. That's because you were looking out without the booze and pill soaked brain of Kim Richards. Silly you. Lisa talked about Kim's "issues". So it's Lisa's fault. The problem is not that Kim is a pill popping drunk, it's that people TALKED about her being one. Don't you remember how Kimmy explained all that on the show. If everyone would just stop TALKING about the problem it would go away. 9 Link to comment
