In the last month, fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have had a front row seat to watch Kim Richards completely unravel. She sure seemed to be battling to stay sober on the most recent episodes of the show and while she screamed about being sober at the reunion, her DUI arrest the day after it actually aired told an entirely different story. Once finally caught, Richards admitted that she isn't sober and is also still smoking weed, but rather than take responsibility she blamed everyone else, including the Bravo show that writes her checks. Blaming them in the media may not have been her best move to ensure job security.
We're now hearing that, while Richards did finally cave in and check herself into rehab, it was mainly to keep up appearances. The reality star is smart enough to know that she will look a whole lot better heading into her court date having a trip to rehab already under her belt. As far as having a real problem, many claim that she is still in denial. According to a report by Radar Online she is also locked in a battle with Bravo's producers. They want her to stay in rehab for 90 days because they think that she was filming while high last season. Richards wants to only stay for 30 days.
Do you think that Richards really wants to clean up her act once and for all? Or do you think that this is just the best way that she knows how to duck out of trouble? Supposedly, not only has Bravo threatened to fire Richards but they are also looking a potential replacements for her. Do you think that her addiction problem could really get her fired from the show even though it does give her a good storyline? Fellow stars such as Lisa Vanderpump have already gone on the record to suggest that if she wants to blame the show then she should leave it. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
