Kim Richards: No Escape from Witch Mountain

[WireWrap]

WTF?

So Kim's shrink is Dr. Charles Sophy, the same Dr that was her niece's, Paris, shrink that when she was jailed said she was "too sick" to be jailed! Ahhh, the Hilton money, buy a quack!

[mwell345]

 

Am I the only one who heard "I looked on the ground and saw two tiny half margaritas..." and interpreted that to mean she gulped down someone else's abandoned, half-drunk cocktail(s)??

 

I took it the same way.  She picked up someone else's drink. 

 

 

Of course her shrink is going to tell her all she needs is to talk to him 3 times a week.   $$$$$$$ in his pocket.  And of course she goes along with it because it's easier than going to rehab. 

 

Apparently he is also the one who showed up on RHOBH after Russell Armstrong's suicide - he was in some scenes with Taylor - I think he may have even been the guy that took her to some party?

ETA: Yep, here's a recap of the episode - http://hollywoodlife.com/2012/01/17/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-recap-taylor-armstrong-black-eye/

 

"Taylor Armstrong then arrives with her psychiatrist and date for the evening, Dr. Sophy. Taylor is sporting a black eye slightly covered by makeup. Lisa asks, “Is this what it took for you to leave?” Taylor sadly responds, “Unfortunately."

 

To bring this back to Kim, this is also from the recap:

 

"As usual, Kim Richards is behind schedule and she and her boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld are once again late to the party. When Kim finally does get in the car to go to the party, she begins to touch every item in the limo in a loopy manner and says things such as, “I love buttons!” She rummages through the garbage bin at the back of the limo and then feels the need to suddenly take her bra off.

 

Kim’s loopy behavior promised an interesting start to the night. Kim discusses Ken’s recent behavior with Kyle Richards and admits, “It’s not working.” Kim confides that she has been crying daily and that Ken “has a very mean bad side. He always wants to know who I’m on the phone with and when I tell him he says I’m a f***ing liar.” Kim says that Ken is very controlling and always puts her down by saying things like, “By the way, your hair doesn’t look good.”

 

Kim tells Kyle she is all packed and wants to move out. Kyle apologizes to Kim but asks why Kim is never the one to apologize. Kim is evidently still in her loopy mood and instead of listening to her sister, she picks up a flower and examines it.

 

Kim still had one final bomb to drop, though — she’s three months late with her period. She is too worried to take a pregnancy test and the conversation is left at that."

 

 

and again with the bathroom:

 

"Meanwhile, Kim is yet again missing from the action of Taylor’s arrival and is instead locked in the bathroom while her boyfriend bangs on the door asking her continuously if she is okay. Kim is in the bathroom for a while before she finally emerges and acts as if nothing happened."

 

 

I remember that episode - Kim was bizarre!

This Dr. Sophy  is also on Dr. Phil's "Advisory Board! LOL  http://resource.drphil.com/advisory-board/

He, Dr. Sophy, was also involved in the Michael Jackson molestation case, on MJ's side, I believe, not the prosecutors side.

Kim needs all the help she can get.  I thought it interesting she was exploring her childhood the good and the bad.  I doubt Bravo offered her anything other than best wishes with her battle with the bottle. 

[rehoboth]

I think Kim's "two tiny half margaritas" description was just her usual way of diminishing any bad behavior.  (Why even mention there were two when she only drank one tiny half margarita?  Unless you drank more?)  This is totally in line with her one inch glass of vodka, her going to a bar and not having one drink, her not having had vodka for ten years, her being asked to leave the Polo Lounge for no reason, etc... 

 

Two things I'm loving about this interview is when asked what she was thinking when she got arrested, Kim replies that her first thoughts "were for my kids"  (touches heart, looks angelic).  She then states that she didn't know how to tell them about the arrest so apparently she didn't and let them find out from the news.  Mom of the Year material there.

 

The second thing is her treatment team: a psychiatrist, a life coach, a masseuse, a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, etc...   I think the only thing missing from that team is Kim who apparently is not working on her sobriety.  She's got people for that.

[LotusFlower]

Another part of the interview tonight on ET. Kim said her psychiarist told her she didn't need rehab. All she needed was to talk to him 3 times a week. She also has a team - a life coach, a chiropractor, a fairy god mother, a mood ring and others at HER house. I may have made up a couple of those things. I'm not sure, but, I don't have a team to ask.

I thought the entire interview was a softball, but I thought this was the one good question the interviewer asked (forgot her name): is your "team" really looking out for you when they tell you that you don't need rehab? Kim looked stumped for a half second before she stumbled out an answer. The whole thing was ridiculous, though, because it was one lie after another. Including having a "team." Well, except for Monty, her likely drug dealer.

I can see why Kim "loves sobriety" if she's got a bunch of people pampering her constantly, and paid interviews making her the center of attention.  Plus, all the pills she wants, if not the alcohol.

Not sure if its been mentioned but the interviewer mentioned Kimmel was 1/2 hour late for the interview. Must be that busy schedule. The interview made it clear Kim has learned nothing and certainly hasn't changed one bit. Rehab is clearly wasted on this ungrateful bitch.

Therein lies the problem. Kim looked at "rehab" as a vacation, a get away, not something serious to get her life under control, to learn self control. In Kim's world, Rehab = Vacation! Pathetic IMHO.

You are absolutely right.  Rehab is a vacation for her.  But vacation from what?  Her grueling, back-breaking job where she has to work overtime to feed her family?  Vacation from all the family weddings in exotic locations?  Vacations away from the stress of lounging at Kathy's mansion pool and Kyle's desert paradise? 

[msblossom]

She probably feels she's entitled to all that because you know, she worked so hard when she was a kid, and the family benefited, and Kyle stole the house and blah blah blah.  I guess she's living at Kathy's now - at least that what I've read.   Talk about an albatross around your neck!  

 

And it's crystal clear that Bravo wants nothing to do with her.   If they did, she would have already had the obligatory sit down with Andy Cohen, not ETV or Dr. Phil.  And remember early on, Andy said that he reached out to...Kyle, not Kim.  Add to that how quickly an "insider" shot down her story about them wanting her back.  They want nothing to do with her and who can blame them at this point?

Since Kim and Brandi have a loss of significant income Kim outta move into Brandi's new crammed rental condo and split expenses, live on the cheap, and drink up Brandi's tacky wine and live as 2 unfiltered blondes. They can barter with each other for prescription meds and alcohol, braid each other's hair and apply homemade mayonnaise and honey masks.

[wheresmypizza]

I've been trying to figure out why this person is worth any second thought from me and all I've come up with is this. She's a walking, talking intelligence insulter. Her whole existence in this world is to convince everyone that the sky is indeed green, despite all evidence to the contrary. As long as this woman continues to insist that all she had was a little sippy, and I really just needed a good nap, then I take it personally because she insults my intelligence. I don't and never did give a shit whether she ever really gets sober or not. 'Sober' means take ownership. 'Sober' means no pills. 'Sober' means quit sponging off of your family. And it means looking into a camera and apologizing to everyone for making them look stupid every time they've defended you. Until you can do that? Get the fuck off my teevee. And interwebs.

[dbell1]

Yep, same Kim, more denials and another horrible blouse.

After 5 seasons on the reality show that was "just a job" along with a handful of cameos in different things (Sharknado among them), no real move roles since 2009, we're supposed to believe that suddenly she is a hot commodity?  Sure Kim, sure Monty - whatever.  

 

Maybe Kim and Nene can do a movie together.  And co star Brandi.

 

I agree with Tamara - she does herself no favors with these interviews.  She is clearly trying to convince someone (maybe Bravo, maybe the Hollywood producers that she thinks will knock on her door) that she's fine, but clearly she is not.

For what it's worth, and I'm saying this tongue-in-cheek, she also appeared (and died) in Sharknado 3.  (I'm sure she thinks she starred in it and saved the day.)

[zoeysmom]

Do we care that Kim answered a reporter's question about which co-star she would sacrifice to Sharknado?  The answer Lisar.  Lis took it well.

 

I guess this is relevant and good for Brooke:  http://www.allabouttrh.com/kim-richards-daughter-brooke-brinson-refused-to-see-her-until-she-got-sober/

 

I tend to agree with those who said Kim doesn't need to be in rehab-apparently she can stay alcohol and drug free in rehab.  Kim needs to work on her life outside of rehab.   If she hasn't developed the tools in rehab by now, it isn't going to happen.  After listening to Kim, I am beginning to think showing up drunk at the Beverly Hills Hotel was a contrived plan to get Kim another respite away from her life with Monty and the fallout from the show.  I think she knew exactly what she could doing.  Maybe not the arrest part but I think she wanted her family to know she was drinking and needed  rest.  I just wished they would have charged her with a DUI.

That article is a bit off IMO. They quote their source saying ....."“Her daughter Brooke gave her tough love. She wouldn’t see her mom until she completed the whole program.”"....she did not complete the whole program if the other reports were true. Kim was to do either a 60 day or a 90 day program but she left at the end of 30 days.

 

Yes, Kim has a problem staying clean/sober outside rehab which to me it says she didn't learn a thing during rehab. I don't think Kim takes sobriety seriously and she doesn't take rehab seriously either and that is why she keeps failing to maintain her sobriety beyond a few months after leaving rehab. Rehab to her is exactly what she said in this latest interview, "A break", much like a spa vacation and not to make a permanent break from alcohol/drugs abuse.

[zoeysmom]

Last night I watched much of the Hamiltons and Stewarts and I believe Ashley Hamilton said he was a sober companion.  According to his father George, said they had almost lost him four times.  It sounds like Kim needs a sober companion--especially when dealing with Monty.

I don't know if 1 person, sober companion, would be enough or do any good with Kim. IMO, she is hell bent on doing what she wants no matter what because she knows her family will never turn their backs and walk away from her. She is convinced someone will always rescue her and as long as she believes that , there is little hope for long term sobriety IMO. I also don't think she would agree to having a real/professional sober companion 24/7 for very long because she will not admit to her addictions to begin with.

[notnowimbusy]

Kim will pretend she succeeded in rehab just to appease her kids and family.    She will continue to secretly drink, pop pills, etc., but as long as she behaves when necessary everybody is fine.   She needs the money the family provides her, and the sooner she can get her own place, the better she will like it.   Her son, Chad, knows what's going on - and he spilled the beans on Dr. Phil.   Of course she drank the "mini" margarita's she found on the beach.  She wasn't going to go up and order a drink, but I'll bet she was searching out anything somebody set down.    She wants to do what she wants to do.

[NewDigs]

She is starting to remind of Jeff Conaway and that is a sad story.

And she seems to be spiraling and if she doesn't care no one can make her care. It's a devastating disease that not all can control.

I'm not sure what any added tv-role-participant attention can do except perhaps enable her behavior.

[Lura]

I have written my share of snark about Kim.  I have made fun of her, criticized her, ridiculed her.  I've found fault with the way she's talked and acted.  I've laughed at her.  But I was just thinking:  Kim is sick.  She is in the darkness of a terrible disease.  The fact that she can't or won't accept help is part of that disease.  Nobody who is enjoying their drugs and loving the taste and the feel of alcohol wants to stop.  Their head isn't on straight.  They rationalize and don't realize that it's all wrong.  They're speeding up a wrong-way street and think that everyone else is headed in the wrong direction.  I have no solutions and no advice left to offer Kim.  I only know that she is sicker than sick, and I hope that somehow she can get well.

Honestly, Kim just needs to shut up

"When the subject of Lisa Rinna came up, though, Kim regaled a pretty unbelievable story. Here's what she had to say:

 

    [Lisa Rinna and I] had made up at that final party. She texted me two days after the final party and I got these messages. I didn't know who it was. It's like, 'Be very careful or I will f***you up,' and I was like, 'Huh, what?' This is days after we're finished. These messages kept coming. No more filming. This was not for the show. I got scared. I called a bodyguard who's a police officer. I said, 'What do I need to do?' He said, 'You need to file a police report."

 

Wasn't this addressed at the reunion?  Didn't Lisa apologize?    Why then is she bringing it up again in the E interview?  And not a word during the interview about her insinuations about Harry Hamlin (which started the whole thing)

 

She's beyond pathetic, and still playing the eternal victim.  I'm surprised she hasn't blamed her so called relapse on the text messages from Lisa.

[Lura]

In addition to the fans Kim already had, she earned even more fans when she played the handicapped girl on "Little House."  In a way, it's almost like she hasn't changed.  As the handicapped child, she got lots of attention, and people did things for her.  She was pitied and loved at the same time.  Sometimes, it almost seems like Kim learned her current behavior from that experience.  She even talks in a baby voice sometimes, especially when she's looking for pity.  It seems impossible for Kim to grow up and live in the adult world.  It's too filled with problems for her.  As long as she can remain the poor little girl, who lies and depends on others for her needs, I don't ever see her changing.

Kim is straight up lying. She complained in Amsterdam about Lisa Rinna texting her wanting to talk about her sobriety and the extra footage episode had the meeting where Kim confronted Lisa about the "scary" texts. These were not mysterious, threatening texts from who knows who. She also leaves out how Lisa told her in the texts that she tried to stay out of the argument at the party to avoid another scene like Amsterdam. The whole point of the texts is that Brandi is a lying liar who lies down with dogs and gets up with lying fleas.

All this malice for Rinna, but Kim still seems willfully blind to the fact that Brandi set up that sobriety storyline. What was it that Brandi said to Rinna about how in danger Kim was - something like, I can't, Kim would die if she knew I was talking about this. Only you have the balls? Gotta say, Brandi had Rinna's number there. I do believe there might be a codependent fixer under that ditsy, motormouth facade. Brandi has some keen instincts for manipulation. And then the next scene is Brandi telling Kim all about Rinna's busybody fussing over her sobriety. Since it's all on tape and even Kim's kids think Brandi is toxic, I don't even know why Kim wants to keep churning that storyline.

[mwell345]

And, if IIRC, it was Brandi who first used the word "intervention".  Funny how none of Kim's anger goes in that direction, though.

I agree, the woman is Ill but she has treatment options with other people picking up the tab that many of us are dying for. If she is so far out of her head that she is incapable of rational thought (which I do not believe) then a family member needs to prove it to a judge and take her autonomy away. It is extremely difficult and a huge responsibility to do that, so most will not bother. I think she is not that far gone, she is still having fun getting high and has plenty of enablers. She is choosing addiction. IMO

Yep she is.  She treats rehab like the stars of old who went away to a fat farm or for exhaustion.  From Kim's latest comments it is almost as if she is allowed to drink and drug because she takes in strays like Monty, and works on a reality show and then has earned a rest via rehab to collect her thoughts and shore up her liver for a bit to return to a new home, a fresh beginning to start her cycle all over again.  First the Xanax, anti-depressants, then the Adderall, a little pot and finally the booze to bring back to a level she can cope with and get her ready to repeat the cycle and take a well deserved rest.  I personally think Kim just doesn't like to work.

Yes it's Radar, but it really doesn't surprise me that Kim may be begging for her RHOBH stint back.  What does she have other than an over blown opinion of herself?  And I'm sure she needs the $$$.   It would be just like her to not return producer's phone calls for weeks, and then think she can waltz in and make it all better.   Entitled is a word that keeps coming to mind about Kim - but for the life of me, I can't understand WHY she feels so entitled.   Does she really think she's still a star?  That ship has sailed.

 

Guess the book deal and the NBC deal didn't pan out.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, zoeysmom.  I can remember my mom talking about stars who went away for "exhaustion" when it really was alcoholism or a nervous breakdown.    "Valley of the Dolls" is a good novel about that.  I've felt all along that Kim operates under that old star system (which she grew up in).  The only difference that I can see is that Kim is partly in the New Age, which considers rehab to be a badge of courage and broadcasts endlessly about her stints in one institution or another.  I think of Kim as something of a hybrid, a mix of the old and the new.  She is one lost soul!

Since Kim has now admitted that she was drunk and/or using on RHoBH while pretending to be sober and recovering I would hope that the producers would not enable her further by giving her a role on the show.  IMO letting her come back and continue the downward spiral is exploitation pure and simple.

I think Kim needs the money and will say or do anything for a check.  It becomes who is exploiting whom?  Certainly Kyle and Lisa Rinna don't want to be a position to be around drunk Kim.  If they fire her and she is sober re they liable for discriminating?  I don't think so, but perhaps she is promises drug testing and a sober companion.  I just don't care for the woman and would like to see a season where her sister starts off on a good foot with everyone and doesn;t have albatross Kim on her back.

If Bravo/production are smart, they will require regular drug/alcohol testing and a professional sober live in companion for a full year in consideration of Kim possibly returning to the show NEXT year/season, not the current season the are now filming. If she can't maintain sobriety during an off year, she has no hopes of doing it when on camera and under more stress. I don't think Kim can do or will do this but at least it gives her a goal to work for and if she in fact succeeds, then they can bring her back as a FOH, not as a full HW the following season and take it from there.

WireWrap, thanks so much for the news and for providing a link to Monty's post.  The picture was awesome.  Brooke resembles Kim so much that Monty must have thought he was having a flashback.  Monty and Kim got married too young before they knew what they were doing.  Sometimes, I think that if Kim weren't sick, and if Monty weren't sick, ....

You are too kind, ridiculous Kim has to sign a conditional contract..  Bravo is hiring talent and there is an abundance of people qualified to do Kim's job.  The show is about reality in these people lives, Kim's reality is a fragile sobriety.  I think they gave her far too many breaks shooting around her sobriety and her dumb friend Brandi creating drama around Kim's sobriety.

http://www.allabouttrh.com/kim-richards-begging-to-return-to-rhobh/  Kim doesn't have to beg to get her job back. . . she has people who will do that for her.

I can see Kim trying the "personal" touch, I am sure she blames her "people" for getting fired to begin with. As we have all seen time and time again, nothing is ever Kim's fault, ever. LOL

WireWrap, thanks so much for the news and for providing a link to Monty's post.  The picture was awesome.  Brooke resembles Kim so much that Monty must have thought he was having a flashback.  Monty and Kim got married too young before they knew what they were doing.  Sometimes, I think that if Kim weren't sick, and if Monty weren't sick, .... 

I don't think Kim and Monty would get back together even if both were healthy. Monty has spent a lot of time with his other ex wife and with his LV girls during this past year as well and he has said that he and Kim were friends only.

I think Kim hurt him pretty deeply when she left him for Gregg Davis.  They may have repaired the friendship but I think Monty found women who weren't as screwed up as Kim.  Which is probably 95% of the population.

From what I heard is that Monty caught her dating the other Davis brother while she was still married to him but she ended up marrying Gregg. I don't think it was as big of a heartbreak as everyone thinks though - I heard that Monty always slept around with everyone too.....

Kim and Brandy ruined a show I enjoyed watching. If Kim comes back in any form drunk or sober, housewife or friend of, I'm willing to drop the show just to let the numbers fall to get rid of her. I don't give a flying F#(% about Kim, she could od and die tomorrow and all I will think is "Good she won't be back."

 

I just don't care.

JUST IN...  

 

She really IS just the gift that keeps on giving, isn't she?

 

Now she's been arrested for shoplifting...

I don't suppose there's a chance in hell that the police administer a breathalyzer for a shoplifting bust, right?

 

Dammit.  I'll bet this bitch was drunk and/or high when she pulled this stunt.  

 

Hopefully we least get a mug shot out of this latest arrest.  

 

UPDATE:  TMZ is on it now, apparently it was at Target.

Tmz just picked up the story!

Does anyone know if her other case is still pending? Hopefully this will be her wake up call!

Was she trying to steal the Target bulldog? Or just Nyquil?
