Does anyone think the BFF thing between Brandi and Kim  will last if Kim gets a contract and Brandi is cut loose?

 

My first reaction was an resounding "No!" and that Kim would drop Brandi and never look back, however a niggling thought entered my mind that Brandi may have a hold on empty-nester Kim through her sons.

Here is my though-Vince has said he and Eileen love Kim. I think Lisar would be up for an apology and still be regretting some of her bad deeds from last year. Kim would probably get start and I am guessing there will be new blood for Kim to fight.

Yep, I have said it before, numerous cast members are done with Brandi but I don't get the same sense that multiple cast members are done with Kim. If she returns she's not going to be able to get away with controlling the narrative about her sobriety and other antics as she has in previous seasons, but I don't think that multiple cast members are over her like they are with Brandi.

 

Kim was found half naked passed out in the hallway of their hotel under the influence of something. It was just a rumor until Brandi confirmed it via twitter before filming began for this past season.

Eh, among Brandi's many exaggerations or talking-out-her-assisms was her contention that "everybody" was talking about Bella being an alcoholic. Then she later admitted that "everybody" were people on the blogs and even that was challenged when Kyle and I think Andy disputed that Bella being an alcoholic had been bandied about on blogs.

I recall the rumor about Kim was found partially clothed in a public area when the cast was in Puerto Rico, and maybe it happened but I certainly don't consider Brandi tweeting about it being credible confirmation, especially if her making the claim came about when she was in the midst of being called out and, like the situation with Bella, she threw out bomb to deflect.

I'm not happy that she relapsed but I don't think she was ever sober to begin with. I've also never thought alcohol was her only addiction. I'm an recovering alcoholic, had my last drink on 12/29/95

IMO, the other HW's pity Kim, feel sorry for her and are leery about coming off too nasty towards her, now including LisaR and Eileen, fearing viewer backlash. They have all, except Yolanda, now felt that backlash sting in 1 form or another from the viewers.  I, for 1, have no interest in another fake sobriety redemption tour because I don't think Kim will maintain any type of sobriety for long and I do not want to be second guessing "is she drunk/high" or "is she just crazy/brain damaged". Nor do I want to see Kim babied by the other HWs and by viewers. JMO

How much longer is this family going to keep up the farce that Kim's in rehab?? Between Kim, Kathy and the bad PR team around this situation it's the worst bunch of lies going around protecting someone. Jesus.

Dont forget they are being asskissers too. You forgot that part. They cant tell us to shut up or tell us to just say no comment. Kyle tried during late in the season with her blog and how she keeps saying "you dont know our history" but fans are going to be vocal and express their opinions. The Hiltons-Richards puts out enough of their lives and are featured heavy in blogs/trash rags and other media. People can put them together easily if you follow them long enough. It doesnt take much to know they are a dysfunctional and f-ed family.

I don't think Kim would put up with being babied.  We heard her on Dr. Phil (and other places) say how much she hated pity.  Kim may kick her habits, but I would expect her to remain as nasty as ever if she felt like it.  On the other hand, I could be all wrong about Kim.  Maybe once she's off the sauce and whatever else, she'll be a lamb.  Your guess is as good as mine, WireWrap!  :)

Kim likes to be petted, treated with kid gloves, never told she is wrong, never criticized, never questioned and always placed first, she loves that part of being babied. The part she hates is when she thinks they are talking down to her, the rest she loves, loves, loves.

How could any other housewife work with her again? They couldn't have her in their homes, they don't know what products she'd find and ingest. Unless a sober companion will accompany her every time she leaves a room, including when she goes into a bathroom. The other wives just can't be liable for this sort of thing. Bravo can keep her from driving, but they can't keep her clean or sober, or from o.d.ing  at some point, possibly in someone else's home, or car etc. 

 

I just don't think they can risk having her back, even if they think viewers would be ok with it and if they think it would be a goldmine for them.

I think she's in some kind of a facility if only to please the court.  But if she is, it's a mighty relaxed place.  It seems like she spends as much time out of there as in.   I also saw that she went to a belated birthday party for Kathy.  I'm sure that involved a shopping trip for a gift as well.  It's rough being in rehab,  isn't it? 

 

What gets me is this business about Monty being her watchdog at the wedding.  Monty is sick, and I feel sure that he sleeps a lot from all the pain medication he's on.  I don't think he could stop Kim from having a drink if he wanted to.  I also think, after the pill incident, that he's too soft to deny her something she tells him she needs.  If the court isn't keeping track of these excursions of hers, then they'll probably ask for a report from the facility.  Kim isn't fooling anyone.  I think it would be so funny (and disgusting), though, if you were absolutely right.  Kim and Kathy would have so much egg on their faces that they could feed every hungry person in the county.

Oh FFS, really? I can't believe Kim is going to put it all of the responsibility on Monty. So basically she's planning on being high at the wedding because she knows he'll ultimately cover for her pathetic ass. It's so sad and sick. No way is she not going to go to that wedding under the influence of multiple drugs. They might be of the prescription variety but there's no way she's going drug free.

 

Oh well. I guess I hope she can manage to not be embarrassing for the sake of her kids and everyone attending.

My daughter is getting married on Saturday, her dream wedding on the beaches of Cabo. Everyone left this morning but unfortunately for me for health reasons I wasn't able to attend, but I've still been blessed that I was able to walk her down the aisle in August. As everyone knows last May I was given a few months to live, but guess what I'm a fighter and its a year later, still not giving up. All the family and friends will be there but I will to in spirit. Anybody that knows me I know I like a good party lol. But it's better for me to stay here and get better so I can be around my family and children a long time. My prayers have been answered with my daughter having her dream wedding what more could a father ask for. I will miss everyone of you and will see you when you get back. And I would like to thank everyone for all the prayers this past year it's really helped me get through this fight, each of you have touched my heart, but I'm going to keep on fighting no giving up in me. I know I'm crazy but I do have a private plane at my disposal and might surprise everyone if I show up Sat. I don't think my dr would like that but I can be stubborn sometimes. Much love to everyone and a beautiful Memorial holiday to all. I love you Brooke now have a beautiful wedding and just know I'm right there with you #wedding #beach #family #friends #cabo #heart #blessed #thankful #holiday #memorial

Im not holding out on some hope that shes is in rehab of any kind. Kim has been to rehab 3 (3.5 times depending how one wants to look at it).

I believe strongly more than ever now shes in hiding away from the media and Kathy is helping. She might be doing her "rehab" at one of their Hollywood friend's homes in Malibu. Getting sun. Relaxing. Being in someone's pool. And enjoying being pampered. Maybe she has detoxed since her Dr Phil appearance (or Ecig photo messiness) but to do the real work in a real rehab, pfft, no way.

Like Kathy has already told us Kim needs her job so she can "perform for us" that shes sober like she did in season 4. Im still holding out on some jail time for Kim as a reality check or some sort of last ditch effort to make her wake up.

I'm sorry for Monty's sake that he can't make the wedding, but what this may mean is that Kim will not have a sober escort.  Does she just go it alone and tell the rehab people later?  That sounds like her style.  I envision Kim as being somewhat delighted that no one will be there in a supervisory role.  I can see her urging Monty not to go, and feeling like he does, that's all it would take.  Spoiled and stubborn Kim, indeed!

 

Alcoholics can be some of the most devious and clever people on earth.  I say this having an alcoholic uncle.  They will plan something weeks ahead of time and think it through just to get away with one more drink.  Put Kim in a situation where she's told she can't drink, and she's more determined than ever to have her own way.  Kyle will avoid a confrontation at all costs, so I suppose Kathy will be the family caretaker at the wedding.  Just try to invite Kim to a "bash" without a drink, and she'll have three or four for starters as Mother of the Bride!  For Kim, it's a game of Who Wins.  She won't be thinking about her health.  She'll be over the moon about being free from rehab, rules and don'ts.  It will be CABO time, DRINK time, LIVE IT UP time!!!

 

This wedding has NOTHING to do with the bride and EVERYTHING to do with the Mother of the Bride.  Its purpose is for the society pages of the L.A. Times and maybe even the N.Y. Times.  It's a show, a sham, a joke, a hoax.  It's an opportunity for Kim and incidentally the Hiltons, the Richards, the Fat Burgers.  Watch how it's done, peasants!

I don't believe the rumor that Monty was to be her sober coach. This guy is on some petty strong pain meds himself and would not be able to monitor Kim. Also, alcohol is not her only drug of choice so she could easily pop a pill, huff or snort something without anyone being the wiser.

 

It is sad that this wedding/party has become all about Kim and very little to do with Brooke/husband.

I think Kim was the one who put it out there that Monty was going with her to be her sober coach.  (BTW does Kim think a sober coach is somebody who stays sober while she drinks?).   Anyway, then Monty posts that lovely message.   Now Kim can do what she always intended to do, go alone, and say in a teary eyed way that she was counting on Monty, but due to his health, he had to back out at the last minute and there wasn't time to find anybody else.   Kathy will make a statement that Kim was "doing great" during the wedding and EVERYONE is so proud of her.   

 

We can only hope for a drunken arrest, a Mexican jail, and nude pics of her drunk of the beach, clutching the top to the wedding cake.

Not to be morbid but is sounds as if Kim is treating Minty like dead weight.  Wouldn't this be the one time that Kim should be there for her best friend-fly out Friday night or Saturday morning and fly home SUnday to take care on Minty. 

 

Brooke's wedding(s) will never hold a candle to Nicki's upcoming July's wedding, in London, to a Rothschild.

Why all this emphasis on alcohol?  I agree that it may be the least of Kim's problems.  Paul Nassif's face said it all when he looked over the list of medications she was using then.  And we now know that that list goes on and on.  If Kim stopped everything else and continued to drink now and then, it would probably be a big boost to her system and add years to her life (and brain).

Bravo should sneak their camera crew to Cabo and get Kyle to show up to the wedding and Kim sees her at the reception and calls her a scumbag and all hell breaks loose. Then it turns into Gorga-Guidice fight from season 3. I would die laughing!

OMG let's just pretend Mauricio buys the condo where Kim is staying in Cabo.  She gets settled in, then Kyle arrives, kicks her out (clothes flying out windows), and Kim on the beach (drunk) yelling "you stole my goddamn condo"

I'd sure like to be there for that ceremony!  What do you want to bet that instead of an organist, they use a mariachi band?  As the crowd turns for a glimpse of the bride, along comes Kim, weaving her way merrily down the aisle.  (After all, the "star" goes first.)  Unbeknownst to Kim, she left part of her dress in the bathroom when she went for one last snort.  Never you mind.  She's grinning like a Cheshire cat, wearing her Hollywood smile, and she nods her head from side to side at the guests.  Kyle, sitting with Mauricio near the back of the church, lets out a gasp and an "OMG!"  Following 27 bridesmaids, Brooke comes next down the aisle in a $100,000  Vera Wang wedding gown, but nobody notices because they're all watching Kim, who is doing a solo dance to the mariachi music, gesticulating wildly with her arms over her head and swishing her skirt, which isn't there, from side to side.  Kathy tries to save the day, making the dancing look planned, and she grabs Rick to dance with her.  Gradually, everyone happily moves into the aisles and joins in.  The groom, in tears, runs to his mama and shouts over the din, "THIS wasn't part of the rehearsal!"  Someone rolls the liquor cart into the sanctuary, the first time that's been done since the church was built in the 1600s.  Kim shouts, "I want me some!" and rushes to the cart with the priest.  Everyone has a high time.

 

Later that night, when the world is still, someone in the hotel breaks the silence with a comment to someone else, "You know what?  That young couple never did exchange vows." 

 

Kathy, about to turn out the lights, remarks to Rick, "I think it really is time to get Kim into rehab!"

Since we're all imagining how it's going to go down...

 

When it comes time to take the group pictures I can totally see Kim making those faces like she was making on the balcony in Paris while everyone else is smiling for the pics and trying to pretend that everything is normal. 

 

I see her ordering a lot of people around only the suggestions/demands she makes will end up conflicting with instructions that people have already been given.

 

At some point Kim will "take over" the dance floor because they're playing her song. 

 

At some point Kim will take over the bathroom causing a line to form in the only other remaining one. 

 

At some point Kim will end up with a sombrero on her head.

 

At some point the staff working at the event will have a conversation about how loca la madre de la novia is.

Beautiful view Kyle has.  I'm glad she decided to go to the wedding.  I think she'd have regretted missing this family event if she'd stayed home.

 

I noticed that Monty referred to the wedding as "being on the beaches at Cabo."  I wonder whether this is going to be a beach wedding.  If that's what the bride wanted, they could have had that at Malibu, and it would have been nice and close for Kim -- IF she's there!

 

I also wonder about how they got there.  The Hiltons wouldn't be caught dead taking public transportation, would they?  Besides, there aren't enough first class seats for all of them.  Maybe Rick has his own plane, or rents one, and his own pilot.  I want to know all the dirty details and the other ones, too.

 

I cringed when I saw that a dinner follows the wedding.  Not that they shouldn't have one, but on RHOBH, a meal signals a fight.  All it would take would be for Kyle to rise and offer a toast to Kim's swift and complete recovery to send Kim into conniptions.

You know, friends, we've spent all of these pages guessing about what would happen to Kim.  I think that what we should have done (and it's still not too late) is to throw a party and invite Allison the Psychic.  You know, the one who ruffled everyone's feathers at Camille's dinner party?  We can have it here at my place near San Francisco.  The weather is getting warmer, so we can have it in the family room or outside on the deck.  We'll need a committee of people, led by Black Mamba, to be in charge of drinks.  {We'll want to have toasts to Kim!)  I'll make some apps from Ina Garten's cookbooks.  We can , or cannot, dress as our favorite BH housewife.  We can sit around, watching old shows and noshing, and finally ask Allison to make her predictions about Kim, the wedding, and any other pressing issues we want answers to.  Lisin, you're invited, too!  Anyone have any other ideas?  Let's do it! 

 

P.S.  Limo service is available here.

I am so excited and encouraged by your desire to turn an amorphous bunch of intensity and investment INTO A THING that I just stopped reading to find out if this panned out.  We are prob on diff continents and I am assuming you were being serious.  So props either way.

Demi Moore is a "huffer"? How did I never know that? I never even knew she want to rehab.

Notnowimbusy, depending on which direction you live, we may be neighbors. I'm about 30 minutes east of the city.

I'm thin, blonde, short and currently on heavy pain medicine so I guess I have to be the Kim.

But you guys better not steal my god damn house! Make sure there are plenty of bathrooms for me as that's where I'll be spending most of the evening.

Guys I am sober so don't drink BUT I have botox in my forehead - big lips often mistaken for fake, so I can fake fake if necessary - maybe I can be Brandi's fake-sobriety-expert friend Gennyfir or whatever her made up name-word is...Is that too tangential?

I know if I were at a big upscale destination wedding, with luxury accommodations, spas,  catered meals, and all you can drink, when I got back I'd need to check into an upscale rehab, with luxury accommodations, spas, catered meals, and all the alcohol I could smuggle back in.   Poor Kim, she's working so hard on her sobriety, she must be exhausted.

Wellll, I haven't heard from the drink committee yet.  Come to think of it, who IS the drink committee?  Actually, this party is a figment of someone's  imagination, designed simply to add a tiny bit of levity to the thread.  Come to think of it, though, if you have Botox in your forehead, you could come as that creepy guy on The Munsters!  Or was it the kid who had the forehead?  The only problem is that The Munsters don't appear on the RHOBH.   One outstanding member of the board has already spoken up to dress like Brandi, but we could always have another Brandi, depending on whether your forehead reminds you of Brandi's.  The other ladies (term used loosely) are still open for the taking.  (Gee, that phrase reminds me of Brandi -- "open for the taking.").  Anyway, I hope you can follow this.  It's a little bit tangential, to put it mildly!  Welcome to the board -- and see you at the party!  :)
