Kim Richards in ‘a really bad place’ after substance abuse relapse, psychiatric hold: report
Kim Richards is reportedly really struggling after relapsing and being placed on a psychiatric hold earlier this month.
Insiders told People Friday that the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 60, is in “a really bad place” as her family figures out the next steps.
“The family are very private about details, but from the little they’ve said, it’s clear they’ve reached another breaking point with her,” a source told the outlet, emphasizing that “this has happened before.”
The insider noted that Richards’ “reliance on alcohol has been an ongoing source of conflict” — specifically with her sister, Kyle Richards, 55.
“It particularly weighs heavily on Kyle, who has always been the worrier of the family,” the source shared.
According to the outlet, Kyle has done her best to “take care of Kim” but never knows if she is “helping” or “enabling” her older sister.
On top of that, Kyle and sister Kathy Hilton, 65, have reportedly been “bankrolling” the struggling star’s lifestyle.
The source told People that Kyle is “torn apart” about the situation but “doesn’t know what else to do.”
“It’s the same cycle: chaos until there’s some incident that gets Kim back on track, then brief steadiness as they repair their relationship, then the drinking starts again, Kim makes excuses, Kyle pleads she gets help, etc. etc.,” they continued.
According to TMZ, Kyle and Kim got into an argument earlier this week regarding the latter’s alcohol issues.
Officers were reportedly called to one of Kyle’s homes in the Encino area where Kim has been staying.
Kyle reportedly told authorities that she did not want Kim in the house as she had been cut off from her family in hopes of getting her sober.
However, officers only responded to “keep the peace” and no crime was committed.
The incident came after Kim was placed on a 72-hour hold in early September after acting “incoherent” at a Hilton hotel.
