Kim Richards is finally getting the help she needs.RELATED: Kim Richards' Rehab Stay Is "a Step in the Right Direction," Says Adrienne Maloof
The star of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” has checked into a rehab facility and is seeking help at an undisclosed treatment center, multiple sources confirm to “Entertainment Tonight.”
Fans of the popular Bravo reality show may not be surprised to learn about Kim’s struggles.
Her drinking problem became public knowledge during the first season’s finale, in which the visibly inebriated 47-year-old got into a screaming match with her sister Kyle while at castmate Taylor Armstrong’s birthday party.
The women eventually retreated back to their limo, where Kim called Kyle a “f---ing phony” and Kyle accused Kim of being “delusional” and “demented.”
Kyle went on to yell, “You are a liar ... [and] you are an alcoholic! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve said it now and everybody knows.”
Following the dramatic scene, a written banner on the screen announced that Kim was checked into rehab by her family, but then checked herself out a week later.
Kim’s erratic behavior has been addressed multiple times during the current “Housewives” season.
In the Nov. 7 episode, Kim paid a visit to a plastic surgeon’s office and explained that her slurred speech and half-closed eyes are the result of a number of medications she has been prescribed. Among them, she listed Lexapro (an anti-anxiety medication), Trazodone (an antidepressant) and Topamax (an anti-seizure medication that can be used to treat alcoholism).
Reps for Bravo have yet to comment on the matter.
