Interesting I checked out the site for Bridges and it's interesting that it's main deal isn't alcohol/drug rehab, but "mental issues". I wonder if the family finally grabbed a clue that it isn't just booze & pills - but Kim is just nuts!!

Kim claims she deals with anxiety but Ive always thought there is more. When Dr Phil offered her the dual diagnosis with her rehab stay she flipped. Me thinks she and the family know and are aware she has a mental illness already. I wonder also does Kim feel some kind of guilt for Chad's mental illness too.

I think Kim would blame the Davis family for Chads problems, she has yet to take responsibility for anything. JMO

Ah another day another lawsuit against Kim because of her dog!!!   http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/02/kim-richards-sued-dog-bite-attack-pit-bull-kingsley/

 

New twist is that she says Kingsley isn't her dog - it belongs to Monty!!!!!

This is just too wild. I have no doubt the dog bit this woman, but I also think she saw what happened with Kay Rosario's lawsuit - Kim didn't even show up or make a case, so Kay was awarded a default judgment, so she probably thought - easy money.

I'm just glad she's back in rehab. However, this needs to be a real rehab, not some Malibu spa. And if it is indeed a real rehab, she's going to have a tough go of it. Alcohol detox is hard enough, but pill detox is harder. I think it's pretty clear that pills are her bestest buddy. I just hope this time she's honest enough to cop to the whole issue and quit insulting everybody's intelligence.

At first glance, this new place looks like an elegant vacation venue where Kim can "do some time" until she gets the all clear from Kathy to emerge.  However, upon reading all the posts above it seems like Bridges is a psychiatric center with fancy window dressing.  Maybe the high end trappings will lure someone in like Kim, who loves to be treated like royalty (Her Highness!) and will keep her there under pretty lock and key with a psychiatrist until real work is done.  Maybe something different is finally happening with Kim.

 

My guess on the family is Kathy said to Kyle "I'll pay for Bridges if you get her there."

Because this facility sounds so much different, it makes me think Kim in fact did act out during the wedding, but it would seem afterwards she had some sort of major breakdown.  We've seen her grow progressively more angry - and that's what we have "seen".  Can you imagine what she's like off camera?  

 

As to her saying the dog does belong to her, but Monty, it will be easy for an attorney to show that during the time the dog bite from this lawsuit took place, there are plenty of pictures and video with her and the dog - and that was long before Monty re-entered the picture.

Agreed. Sadly that's the only thing she and her family wants to address. If she cant drink, paint thinners via huffing and/or pills will fill the void.

Kim is a piece of work. If she allows Monty to take responsibility for that dog then what soul would she have left...

Figures. Shes gonna play by her own rules. The place is beautiful though.

And that was in September before Alexia was bitten.

Kathy has now followed suit in cutting off Kim. Her monthly allowance of 5-10K will be no more allegedly

http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/kim-richards-kathy-hilton-financial-support-falling-wagon/

If this is true, sounds like they laid down the law to Kim when she contacted them from Mexico.  They sent a plane - doesn't seem anybody escorted her back, except a security guard.  Wow, she's always seemed to be able to con Kathy into being the "understanding" sister.   Something big must have happened.

Kathy probably has finally stopped enabling Kim because it's not a good look for her. She has a daughter, son AND a sister who are addicts. Plus many have called her out for her lack of support for Kyle in this matter. Plus Kathy's own possible wild past has been gossiped about on this very forum. Kathy is playing her own brand of Bobby Fisher too. If this doesnt make Kim get her shit together after losing both sisters emotional/financial support and her kids being beyond embarrassed and done by her then I have no idea what will. They've pretty much have draw a line in the sand with her now.

Maybe Kathy doesn't want her at the Rothschild wedding. That would probably be Kathy's last straw.

Wedding is July 10th, so they will have to keep in place for a little longer than 30 days.   Seriously, I doubt anybody thinks it would be a good idea for Kim to leave rehab (ha ha ha) and head to another destination wedding.   If she acted out of control at her own daughter's wedding, can you imagine what she'd do as a guest!!!!

This rings true to me.  If Kyle and Mauricio cut her off, Kyle became the "bad sister" and if Kathy started supporting her, Kathy became the "good sister".  Now we have the back story behind "You don't defend me, Kathy would, Kathy is the good sister".

 

I wonder what Kathy's first clue was as to where the money was going.

 

(ETA: if this is the case, then Kim needs RHOBH more than ever. Even sober, I doubt there will be many offers coming her way).

I don't  think either Hilton girl is identified as an addict. Paris has had a DUI and an arrest for a small amount of coke.  Conrad on the other hand has gone through rehab.

All this news about Kyle & Kathy distancing themselves financially, and then the reports that Bravo spoke w/a family member to learn she had returned to rehab, then making the decision that she will not be asked to return, in addition to the fact that the "rehab" she is in is a mental health facility can only mean she has hit some kind of a new low.     No more excuses, no time out for parties, and from what the site for the Bridges place, no visitors/phone/internet.  

 

Add in the upcoming court date and the new lawsuit, Kim may not have hit rock bottom, but her life has.

 

It's a 6 bed facility, which makes me feel sorry for the other 5 people.  Yikes!

According to Radar Online, she has been fired "due to her lack of communication with her employer"  Per the article, she did not answer a single call from the network when she was missing in action, and that is what sealed her fate.

Thank you Jesus!

Kim has been demoted at least. Kim is finally going to know what a bottom feels and taste like. This is proof that reality tv isnt for the weak and fragile at heart. I hope her downgrade is like Camille S3 and not Porsha S6, because if so what was the point. Im sure with Kyle/Kathy have finally banded together and another dog victim Bravo finally took it as all the green light they needed.

I have a feeling we won't see her much, if at all.  We "might" see her in the background at  Kyle's White Party, but I think Bravo sees her as too much of a liability.  They don't want the responsibility or blame when something happens.  Yes, I said when, not if.  We all know it's coming.  I just have zero faith that she will get her shit together.  She has never shown any personal responsibility.

Kim should take a lesson from us peons.   When the boss is calling, you sort of need to answer the phone.

 

Thank you Bravo!  Now please have a seat and let's talk about Brandi.....

I think the decision to dump her was made long ago. The lack of communication may just give them cause if there's a contract in place. However, I think there was never any intention to have her be a part of the show in the future.

 

I think we may not see her at all and they're saying she might appear to make sure they don't like they're dumping her when she's down.

Brandi is somewhere dancing a jig... for now. I dont think she will be fired. Brandi is the Tamra of Beverly Hills. Andy wants his shit stirrer to stay put. Not to mention Brandi has wine to sell and needs a platform. Plus Bravo gets a cut from what these women sell by using their shows Im sure. I almost have this feeling Andy might bring back Carlton. Andy got guilt tripped by Lisa V in her WWHL on how he edited Carlton (and Joyce) back in season 4 as a witchy poo. Brandi is going to need someone on her team to stir drama. Even though I like Lisa R she could get flaky since Kim will no longer be there to be her storyline. This is HWs, these women switch teamS more than most NBA players. Either way I wont jump too much for joy too soon. Kim has been downgraded and has her diamond taken but if she appears like Porsha from RHOA, ugh.

Rehoboth, I agree with you.  Much as Kim has been hideous, and it's hard to like her when she's that way, she's still a sick human being who desperately needs help.  Yes, this new posh place is costly and befitting of Kim's exalted social status (NOT!),  but it sounds like it's serious-minded.  Much as she's put her sisters through the wringer, they still care enough about her for what may be her last chance at sobriety.  Call it what you want, but I think it's love or at least compassion.  I wrote last night that I'd had it with Kim, but that was the Kim who wasn't taking her illness seriously.  If there's hope, I'm all for it.

Yeah, they did the same thing with LuAnn - she was downgraded to friend and was on the show more than some of regulars.  I don't want that either, but I take some comfort in this sentence

 

"According to sources connected to the show, it's possible Kim may return for a cameo, or a few appearances, but not as a full-time series regular."

 

Reads to me like they're throwing her a bone.  I don't think we'll see much of her.

If she is in rehab and filming starts soon, along with her court appearance, Kim may not be available for much more than a cameo, probably toward the end of the season.

I'm not so sure that Brandi is coming back, she was not invited to the "Upfronts" and that is not a good omen for her return, she has been to them every time since becoming a full HW until this year.

Well... Remember when Andy contacted Kyle and not Kim after her arrest.  I wonder did Andy feel some type of way because Dr Phil got the exclusive one-on-one.  Andy might have taken that as a dis to his interviewing skills, LMFAO.  Kim didn't do a single WWHL all season but she can go on Dr Phil.   How dare she!

We'll have to see.  Sometimes Upfronts do tell us who will be back on the show, but sometimes it doesn't.  Heather from NY never goes to Upfronts and I think it's been the first of many Cynthia and Phaedra hasn't been to Upfronts this year.  However I think Brandi has been playing it right.  As shady as it is she's been keeping a low profile while Kim has been imploding in the media the last few months besides her occasional loose lips on when she last saw Kim.  Brandi also claimed she hasn't talked Kim lately.  That because true or false depending how one might look at it.

I keep thinking there will be not return for Brandi and I do agree Tamra gets a pass each and every year.  Brandi had bigger game to take down than Tamra and she failed miserably.  First Vanderpump and then Kyle.  These women have enough money they don't have to stand for being called a "c&nt".

 

I worry mid-season there won't be enough excitement and bam they bring back Kim and Brandi.  I hope as Kim reflects on her last season she realizes a major part of the hatred towards her by viewers and fans was taking Brandi's advice and listening to her screwed account of things.  As cute as she and Brandi thought it was to go to the Gay Mixer the party would have been just fine with Kim and no Brandi.

I tend to agree, and hope it's not wishful thinking on my part.  I may be reading too much into this sentence from the E article

 

"The fates of the rest of the housewives have not yet been decided, however we are told that most of the women are expected to return."

 

Why not say "the remaining" housewives "are expected to return".

 

I know Yolanda is up in the air because of her illness - but I don't think Brandi is shoo-in.  We know Eileen will be back, as will Kyle and both Lisas.   I think if Brandi had been asked back, she would have been at Upfront, and I also think it would have been leaked (courtesy of Brandi) by now.

 

Could be wishful thinking, but I think that sentence was carefully worded.

Same here.  Brandi hasn't felt secure since the reunions hence why she's trying to find the needle in a haystack trying to be an actress.  If she was fired they would had said it the same day as Kim's similar to how the did other firings in the past with Joyce/Carlton, Taylor/Camille (not counting Adrienne since that was done before the reunions in season 3).
