Kim Richards: No Escape from Witch Mountain

[QuinnM]

The Police spokesperson press conference on Kim's arrest video....... http://stoopidhousew...s-bravotv-andy/

I would like to note that in referencing the kick the spokesman used both the word assault and battery. So that happened.

[SwordQueen]

Sorry, but this made me cry. Give me 5 minutes with that woman and she will become clean and sober!  Ok, maybe 20 minutes, she's a tuff cookie.

 

Aww, I'm sorry blueeyed.  Even though I do truly believe her to be a Narcissist, I also hope that she really does love those kids, as themselves, and will realize how much she could stand to lose by her own behaviors.  You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  ; - )  

 

She's a raisin cookie, and those are just the worst kinda cookie.  

[mbaywife123]

I hope that now everything is out in the open Brooke is able to sit her mom down and tell her: Look mom here's the deal the best (2nd) wedding present that you can give to me and your future grandchildren is to not attend the wedding and to check yourself into a long time rehab & psych. facility NOW and follow thru with all of the recommended treatment this time, this is the LAST time we are going to allow you to do this to OUR family.

[missy jo]

It almost reads like the TMZ source is Brandi.

 

 

"Almost," cooksdelight? How diplomatic of you!

 

I LOL'd my way through the TMZ article because it literally lists Kim's typical bullet-point reasons. And none of them makes sense.

 

Brandi - er, I mean, "the source" - screwed up about: Lisa Vanderpump; the "obligation to blog" (as if!); and ... she went on a bender because her son was released from the hospital. Um, isn't that when a loving parent should be caring for them instead of hitting up the Polo Lounge? Up your ghost-writing game, Brandi!

 

PS Lura - I'm one of those "gleeful few," but did not mean to offend. I've lived the hell of addiction. However, this disease can happen to good people or bad people, and based on what I've seen, Kim is a narcissist and a bad person.

 

ETA: Because it's "reasons," not "excuses!"

This is humiliating. I love the part where she asked to use the bathroom before getting escorted out of the premises, and the police spokesman said: "Of course we said yes. But then she wouldn't leave." Dude - we would have told you that was a mistake! Kim lives for those bathroom escapes.

Does anyone know if she's required to show up at her hearing? (I'm guessing yes). She's going to have to stand there and hear it all said out in the open. And Andy Cohen won't be moderating!

[cooksdelight]

"Almost," cooksdelight? How diplomatic of you!

Hey, I try. :)

Where are all the phone videos of Kim in the Polo Lounge? You know someone out there has them. Negotiating a price with the highest bidder, I guess.

I cannot watch that Beverly Hills cop talk without hearing the theme song in my head.

[Bronzedog]

Has there been any statement from Brandi? Since she's the one who loves Kim the most? Or the best? Or something.

[mbaywife123]

Also wondering if Kim will have to appear or can her attny. file a Mills waiver?

[WireWrap]

Preaching to the converted, SQ! I not only think she needs therapy, but long-term therapy - and by that I mean longer than the typical 28 days or even 90 days. She probably needs months away, followed by a strict post-rehab program. But there's no indication she's even remotely interested.

I'd buy it! If Brandi is selling wine, and Kandi is selling sex toys, and every third-or-so HW is selling undergarments, and Bethenny is selling every product under the sun, then Kim needs to get into the entrepreneurial spirit and sell something!

LOL  Least we forget, Kim did try her hand at shilling products. The "Slut Pig" T shirts and Yoga Pants were a giant flop. She then tried selling those same clothes with "I Love Turtles" and other childish sayings on them but they too flopped! 

[QuinnM]

That is not allowed. It is not allowed. Seriously Polo lounge is popular because it is NOT allowed.

[cooksdelight]

I am obviously travelling in the wrong circles.

[Found A Peanut]

TT lives in Atlanta, so her "scoops" on RHOA are usually pretty accurate. As for other stories, I have no idea, but frankly, this one on Monty sounds pretty consistent with what our own zoeysmom keeps "reporting" via her sleuthing and such. For a guy as sick as Kim kept making him out to be, he sure has travelled a lot. And since when is Kim a reliable caregiver? Especially since she was pretending to be in recovery, and Monty, a terminally ill cancer patient, needed availability to strong meds. The story never made sense from the get-go.

You aren't wrong about any of this, and with me so very recently speculating on Brooke's rushed wedding being mainly for Kim's storyline, I shouldn't find this a leap too far, but damn. Just...damn.

I'm with SwordQueen, I just hope it's not true.

[b2H]

For me, Bravo is panting double time to re-sign Kim as quickly as possible. Why? As the old bromide goes, the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity. The buzz about this arrest and subsequent actions is fodder for the cannon that is this franchise. Not saying the Evolution, Bravo or Andy don't care about Kim and her issues, but this is reality show gold. I don't see any redemption with this, but i bet they will hope and pray with all they have.

And the viewers will be there to watch it all......

LOL, If you read the TMZ report, where their "source" blames LisaV for Kim's relapse, you have, IMO, read Brandi's (the source) comments. LOL

[cooksdelight]

TLC didn't hesitate to drop the Honey Boo Boo bunch when Momma was hanging out with a pedophile. I think Bravo will remove Kim from the show, maybe have her on now and then so people can see she's doing well. But I really don't see her returning as a full-time housewife.

[WireWrap]

I wonder if this will be filmed, Paris's court appearances were filmed and then shown on several TV/Gossip shows! Kim will have a cow!

[goofygirl]

A cow?? Nope. A pit bull puppy! She's IS Kingsley's mommy after all!

[LotusFlower]

But the cameras didn't capture anything. This will be old news by the time the next season starts airing. And a re-hired Kim will do nothing but make excuses. Or admit to a "mistake." Even if she goes to rehab, we've already seen this story. Been there, done that. There's nothing new or compelling here. It's just sad and tiresome.

I don't think there's any way they want her back. As if she wasn't enough of a liability with the dog. I think the most that could happen is she one day makes a cameo or two, a la Taylor after her departure, with or without Kyle, depending on how all that shakes out.

[elainebenis]

I'm hoping that Kim's family issues (Intervention-style) bottom lines and holds to them. No contact. No more covering up. No financial or legal support. Will report any criminal activities. Her daughter (with the support of her sibs) needs to tell Kim that under no circumstances will she be allowed to attend wedding #2: "You'll either be getting help in rehab or all alone, still drinking and pill-popping your way to an early grave. That is your choice. But you will not be at the wedding."

 

That *might* get her attention. Maybe....

[Satchels of gold]

Addicts like Kim are never "ready." Excuses, excuses. I've watched a lot of episodes of Intervention, and I can't tell you how many times the addict says: ok, but not now....I will, but I have to go home first and...feed the cat! Let me just do such-and-such first..." And the family and interventionist say no, it's now or never.

ITA

The philosophy in AA is bring the body and the mind will follow. The hope is that being around other recovering addicts will inspire the "not ready" to "be ready" . And yes many more people strive for sobriety then ever achieve it but boy for those who do it's amazing .

[GreatKazu]

Especially since she was pretending to be in recovery, and Monty, a terminally ill cancer patient, needed availability to strong meds. The story never made sense from the get-go.

Brandi also implied Kim was overwhelmed with taking care of Monty as well as Chad's mental breakdown. Kim is obviously not tending to a sick Monty and she couldn't bother to be there for when Chad was released. How would Kim feel if her son were to let her know that it is her behavior that has caused him to spiral downward?

[missy jo]

I'm focused on the silver lining here - that apparently Kim now feels "obligated to blog." I can't wait to read it!

[Satchels of gold]

Typical family of an addict they are going to have another wedding for Brooke but pretend the first one never happened. But it's not my money. Anyway I'm sure Brooke's dream wedding did not include her mother in rehab. I really feel sorry for that daughter, another special day crushed. Even if Kim goes it will never be the same. It's either going to be mom opted out of desperatly needed rehab to come to my wedding or my mother wasn't at my wedding because she was in rehab. And let's not forget the dying father, I'm sure this is not the dream wedding she had planned.

[Morbs]

I thought the same thing, she's lucky the cop didn't shoot her.  I think she kicked him in the police station though.  If she gets fired what in the world will Kim do for money?  I guess borrow from Kathy.  I have no idea what Bravo will do, she shouldn't have been on the show for awhile now.  For some reason I thought the cop saying, "At one point we determined it was Kim Richards." haha, I mean when you got a call about a drunk and disorderly at the Beverly HIlls hotel, who else would you expect?

 

And I know I'm a winner in life because I got countless texts from my friends when this news story broke, probably more than Kyle.

You all know whats got me disgusted from yesterday and today - Kim's Twitter Thugs (fans) trying to place blame on the cast!

Can we add these delusional, pitiful, selfish MFers onto Kim's enabling list! These people dont want Kim sober because it would mean Kim would be boring person. I guess lets allow her to die so as long they are entertained by her fuckery. Sad.

Im glad we have a cast that wasnt about to stand for another season or play along with Kim's addiction. Thank you Lisa Fucking Rinna for not playing this game. Shes your coworker if nothing else. It's one thing if Kim wants to get wasted and high in the privacy of her own home but the minute she brings it to her castmates and in front of cameras they shouldn't have to stand for it! Kim cant have it both ways here. She cant say shes sober then the next popping pills and downing it with alcohol and being aggressive and difficult. It dont work like that.

I want Kim off this show so bad. Yet Andy loves controversy and this franchise has given him some of the best controversy since its been on. He wont cut tides now with all the scandal Kim has going now. So I expect for another round of Kim finger-pointing, saying shes 3 or 4 yrs sober, blaming Kyle for not posting her bail, blaming Lisa R for having the audacity to be concerned, blaming Eileen for being a beast, and being in a dope sick love with Brandi (if so happens she returns).

Chad wasn't in the hospital - maybe had an appt, but wasn't admitted.  He was on IG sending cute pics of dogs in a bike basket!  He's been in Malibu. 

[missy jo]

This is my annoying inner social justice warrior side showing, but after reading she kicked an officer I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Kim weren't an affluent white woman.

 

 

Unfortunately, we don't have to "wonder" very much about it. When I first read that she resisted arrest and kicked a cop, I was like, "Oh shit, so obviously that means they shot her in the back 15 times ..." but instead she was released with a citation. Somehow I doubt she's grateful for the privilege that she is afforded.

 

Im glad we have a cast that wasnt about to stand for another season or play along with Kim's addiction. Thank you Lisa Fucking Rinna for not playing this game.

 

 

Black Mamba, I was Team Rinna from the jump because I've been in situations like these. Where you're thinking, "OK, is everyone seeing what I'm seeing right now? And why are we supposed to act like this isn't happening?" Bravo literally did not give her the memo on that. Plus, like Eileen said, "What if something bad happened and I didn't say anything?" i.e. Sue her for giving a damn!

 

But man do I hope you're wrong about her being back next season! We don't need a redemption arc - we've already suffered through it a few times. Even the slightest glance at social media will hopefully show Bravo that the majority of viewers don't want to see her again.

[SwordQueen]

I'm so confused on this thing with Chad -- was he actually admitted to a hospital and did he get out yesterday?  There's a lot to hate on Kim for but I want to make sure I'm doing it for the right reasons.  lol

It might have more to do with her being white than anything else, although her being a woman and a "celebrity" definitely plays into that.  A boyfriend of mine was looking at 3-5 -- years not months -- for possession and he got off completely (I sure know how to pick em lol).  His lawyer even said that he was lucky that he white because that saved his ass.

Reality’s New Rules! ‘RHOBH’ Producers Consider Adding ‘Sobriety Clause’ To Kim Richards’ Contract After Arrest
Posted on Apr 17, 2015 @ 13:40PM

Kim Richards has sat in silence since her very public arrest while on a rampage at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge on Wednesday night. But behind-the-scenes, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned, producers of the reality star’s hit TV show are spinning over what to make of the incident.

As Radar previously reported, the executives of RHOBH called an emergency meeting after finding out that the 50-year-old troubled star had gotten arrested while causing a scene at the iconic landmark and allegedly kicked a police officer while detained.

“During the meeting with the producers of the show yesterday they decided that they would possibly like to implement a sobriety clause into Kim Richard’s contract,” the insider says.

Although the source claims that the “details are still being worked out,” a few things are clear.

“They do not want to get rid of Kim on the show because she does so amazing for ratings, but they also think that keeping her on the air is not conducive to her well-being,” says source.

-snip-

However, the insider tells Radar, “The higher-ups do not want to be held responsible if something tragic happens to her.”

Can I get an Amen up in here? :-) This was one hot mess of a season.  LisaR was tellin' it like it is! Every season we always wonder why so-and-so never said this or that, but here was LisaR just rolling the truth off her tongue. Kim was sitting there looking like a fool and a half!

 

Chad wasn't admitted? What?? Help me out here.

 

Can we now assume that whatever fuckery Kyle supposedly did at Brooke's wedding will now be put to rest? It is now replaced with Kim's behavior at the Polo Lounge and the police station. Just sayin'.

[notnowimbusy]

Kim's son was released from the hospital on March 31.  He went to a group home .  He has been posting on IG from Malibu, Zuma Beach and was with them for Easter.   She tweeted a pic of herself w/Chad at Brooke's home two weeks ago.   So I'm not sure where the "he was released yesterday" came from.   If it was Brandi - Miss Mis-Information - he probably had a medical appt and as usual she made something much bigger out of it.  

[LotusFlower]

I think you'll be less confused if keep in mind that Brandi was the "source" of that story. The same Brandi who blogged that Matyr Kim was busy driving family members to and from hospital appointments at the same time her Instagram showed her to be on vacation in Cabo. Unless Chad had a second stint in the UCLA medical ward, he left a few weeks ago. Same with the info. on watching the reunion tapes with Brooke - she's in Bahrain. It's all Brandi's way of showing Kim as a victim, while throwing shade at her two nemeses, LVP and LisaR, at the same time.

That's part of what confused me -- why would Brandi put that out there about Chad?  Did she not understand the implication that Kim getting naked wasted at a bar like it was her 21st birthday and running from the cops, the day her son was released from the hospital, would look like a low down dirty monkey with a wig on, to the public?  That didn't do anything to exonerate Kim from responsibility, like, at all.  She really needs to get herself a dictionary, doesn't she?  

[LotusFlower]

She really needs to get herself a dictionary, doesn't she?

Or borrow one from her ghostwriter.

She's just such a moron. And so self-centered.

[hoosier80]

I think Kim won't go to a rehab, not the intensive sort she really needs.  Kim hasn't had to really work at anything in a long time.  I think to some extent she fell into acting (along with Big Kathy pushing her); she could naturally memorize pages of script.  She was able to come in, hit her marks, say her lines, which is a lot for child actors.  Once she got some level of fame, she was coddled - if not by the industry, then by Big Kathy. 

 

To go into the kind of therapy she needs, it would be hard work for Kim.

 

I am only hoping her youngest daughter is not blaming herself for not being there with her mom.  When they were playing out the scenes before she left for college, the roles seemed almost reversed, that Kimberly was more the mom and Kim the dependent daughter.  I wonder if Kim looked at that butterfly tattoo when she was in jail and thought about Kimberly. 

 

I wasn't happy to hear the news, even though Kim has disgusted me with her behavior.  I was just shocked that it happened so quickly.  It wasn't even like an "I told you so" because who couldn't see that the woman was not sober?? The good news was that it was only news that she'd been arrested, and not found comatose or dead.

Brandi does not think before she says/does anything, that is her biggest problem. She probably thought it would garner sympathy for Kim but it is backfiring big time IMO, although, there are a few people that will buy into this, or any excuse.

[SwordQueen]

She really is.  Because I wasn't thinking, when I read that bit about Chad, "Oh, that poor Kim.  Such a good mother.  Damn that Kyle.".  It was more like "Wow, bitch is not only a junkie but a stupid one and a shitty parent.".  So, yeah, no.  

 

What is it that Southerners say?  Bless Brandi's dumbass heart.

Kim Richards' Drunken Arrest: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Has Recently Been "Horrible to Everybody"
Celebrity News Apr. 17, 2015 AT 5:00PM By Esther Lee

Talk about bad behavior. Kim Richards’ shocking arrest for public intoxication was preceded by erratic, moody behavior, multiple sources reveal exclusively to Us Weekly.

One source tells Us that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 50, who was booked on Thursday, April 16, after a booze-fueled confrontation with police, has been treating her friends and family members horribly. "Kim has been on the outs from her family recently," the insider tells Us. "Things are so bad that nobody can deal with her. You can’t even talk to her for two seconds -- she turns horrible to everybody."


-snip-

Another insider tells Us that Richards' family, including sister Kyle Richards and half-sister Kathy Hilton, have tried to help. "Kim has had a billion chances from the family," the source adds. "This is so embarrassing.

Adds the first source: "She’s just spiraling out of control."

Kim Richards has sat in silence since her very public arrest while on a rampage at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge on Wednesday night.

I apologize if this has been addressed somewhere else... have any bar staff or customers come forward with details on the "rampage?"  The word makes me think Kim turned green, grew to three times her size, and threw cars at the customers.

 

I wonder if she was at the bar tossin' 'em back, and some customers who had seen the show started lecturing her.  That might have brought out the pointing finger and sharply escalated from there.

Of course they will, because Brandi is raw and speaks the truth, don'tcha know! They believed that story Brandi mentioned in her blog about Kim running around being a slave for everyone under the sun. She couldn't be bothered to write a blog! Shame on us for expecting her to fulfill her contractual obligations during her difficult time (tanning herself to burnt beej jerky in Cabo, Mexico).

I've been catching up on the posts I've missed today.  I had no idea that Chad had been in the hospital.  I'm surprised that all of Kim's kids haven't been institutionalized at this point.

 

Thank you, ((Missy Jo.))  I understand.  Don't worry about disagreements.  People can have polar opposite views on things and still be good friends.  :)  I'm sorry you've been through so much.

 

Whose idea was this second wedding?  Kim's or Brooke's?   It seems like a bad idea to me, right now, because it adds more pressure on Kim. My view is first things first, and I feel that a medical emergency trumps everything else.  I think Kim's treatment should come ahead of all other things.  She's in dire need of rest and help right now.  Put the wedding on ice for a while.  Her mother's health trumps any second wedding in my book.  Just my opinion.

 

As for Bravo, I imagine there are differing opinions about what they should do.  I think they should fire Kim now while she has all these other problems to go with it.  Waiting for her to complete a rehab program and come out of it feeling optimistic, and then get hit with a firing might send her back on the drinking road again.  I just think it would be better to get all of the bad things over with at once so that she doesn't encounter even more in the future when she might be looking for another excuse to start drinking again. 

 

Are we sure that Brandi is feeding the press?  I wonder about someone else as well, but I agree that Brandi is the obvious suspect.  Maybe it's time for Bravo to do some spring cleaning?  Do these women sign confidentiality forms?

Please don't worry about disagreements, (((MissyJo.)))  People can have polar opposite views on things and still be good friends.  :)

 

The last I heard, Kingsley was drinking Red Bull.  (I know; I'm reaching here!)

 

Why didn't Kim's T-shirts sell when Kyle has a boutique?  Or is "Slut Pig" too common to be found among the caftans?

 

Did you ever read something that you thought was going to be funny, but it turned out not to be?  That's what happened to me when I read Morb's  post.  The sentence began with "Kim is lucky the cop didn't shoot her.  I think she kicked him in the ...."  I started to laugh, thinking about the groin area, but the sentence ended with "police station."  Oh well, my heart was in the right place.

 

*sigh*  I think the Hiltons must have (or should have) a Hospital and Jail Fund.  Sheesh.  Right now, somebody, somewhere, is churning out another book.

 

How is anyone so sure it's Brandi doing the talking?  It could be Lisa R or almost anyone, no?  Granted, Brandi's a good guess.

 

Whose idea was this second wedding?  Kim's or her daughter's?  It seems like a weird idea to me.  Why have it in the first place since the daughter is married and pregnant?  Now, with all the stress going on, it seems like an even worse idea with all the pressure on the family.  Maybe there's something I missed.  Is it the religious angle? 

 

My view is first things first, and I feel that a medical emergency trumps everything else.  I think Kim's treatment should come ahead of all other things.  She's in dire need of rest and help right now.  Put the wedding on ice for a while.  Her mother's health trumps any second wedding in my book.  Her daughter can model the latest in maternity wedding gown wear.  Or, if it's too late for that, she can march down the aisle nursing her baby for all I care.  The Hiltons are no strangers to controversy.  They can have their PR team spin the wedding into the most sought after event of the season. 

 

Did someone question whether or not Monty is ill?  Look at the ill-fitting collar of his shirt in the Christmas picture.  That's Monty in the picture, isn't it?

Chad went in voluntarily and was released 2 weeks ago. 

I am not sure about having hospital/jail funds but I am sure they have their lawyers on speed dial lol. Although Kim/Kyle are "Richards" and Kathy married into the "Hilton" family, I have no doubt that Kathy/Kyle will help pay for Kim's lawyer fees if needed but her, Kim's, new son in-law/family is wealthy and could help take care of those costs himself.

The first wedding was done so that Monty could walk Brooke down the aisle, he found out he cancer spread as they were planning the destination wedding but kept that wedding plan intact. Monty's cancer is end stage, all treatments have ended and he is traveling as much as possible as long as he can. Her new mother in-law is paying for the second wedding.

They supposedly rushed the first wedding after her father was diagnosed with cancer so that he could walk her down the aisle. But she still wanted to have her "dream wedding."

I have to disagree with you about her mother's drinking not bothering her. She might be used to it, but it's never easy. And this latest episode was so public, so the public humiliation adds a new element.

 

I agree.  My mother was an alcoholic.  And, yes, it bothered me all the time.   Better said, she is probably not bothered more than usual about her mom and the wedding because she expects it.   She is planning her wedding with her MIL so has the mother figure to take on that roll.
