Kim Richards’ sister is proud that she has entered rehab. In a new interview, Kathy Hilton stated that her sister and star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim Richards, has decided to seek help for her alcohol addiction.
Kathy Hilton, Kim Richards‘ sister, is proud that she has decided to seek professional help for her drinking problem.
In a brief interview with People, Kathy Hilton revealed that unlike the other sister, whose name shall not be mentioned, she is very supportive and proud of Kim Richards.
While at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 2nd Annual Super in Los Angeles, the hotel heiress said:
“I’m very proud of her, she decided on her own to go. I just want to do the right thing, and I want to be the strongest I can be.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who has been battling alcohol addiction for numerous years, took the decision to seek professional help last month.
On April 16th, the Beverly Hills Police were called to the Beverly Hills Hotel where Richards, who was drunk, started fighting. The TV personality was hit with three misdemeanor charges: One count of public intoxication, one count of resisting, obstructing, delaying a peace officer or EMT, and one count of battery upon a peace officer. She is set to appear in court on June 11.
It is rumored that she decided to go seek treatment to avoid jail. After a sit-down with Dr. Phil McGraw, the 50 year entered rehab. Richards said at the time:
“I’m a very strong person and I have been sober. I haven’t been working a program. Living through a season on a show, sometimes it’s hard to just get through.”
Kim Richards’ proud sister went on to talk about Brooke Brinson‘s bridal shower.
“Kim is so excited for her daughter’s wedding next weekend. She wouldn’t miss it,” she said. According to Hilton, she is not sure her sister will return to RHOBH. She explained:
“I think the show has been really great, I mean she’s a professional. She’s an actress. But this is real. Kim needs to learn the tools to cope when there is something that’s upsetting. You have to learn to use the tools to not fall off the wagon.”
Kyle Richards has been less supportive of her sister, who has been in and out of rehab.
What are your thoughts on Kim Richards’ proud sister?
@plainviewsue Yes she is still in rehab, they let her come for a couple hours with a sober companion 2 enjoy her daughters special day.

It is sad she denied the fact she fell off the wagon. This past season on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills she was absolutely horrible to her sister, Kyle. by entering rehab to avoid a jail sentence is not admitting you have a problem. But hopefully her stay will aid in her addiction.
OMG))I am so happy to see Brandi standing by her side.
I have seen Kim drunk, locked up in a brathroom too many times.
Wish her well, can’t wait to see the wedding and to see who will be there.
Didn’t Brooke get married just last year to some other dude?
Godness that was fast. Slow down girl, get to know the man or you might end up like Bristol Palin who learned that her fiancé had 3 wives.
Brooke is lucky and smart, she married up with Thayer Wiederhorn – those burgers will make her a billionaire some day.
I read last night this boozehound already left rehab – like a week ago, and she is not going back. The wedding is next week. She was at a party last week and out shopping in Malibu. Apparently, from the report I read, she was being difficult with demands, and no one was really happy that she was going to go to the wedding. And if she’s going to the wedding, she has to go to the luncheons before and the other parties too. Rehab is a hassle. Kim got parties to go to, shopping to do. Everything is under control. As long as everyone is nice to Kim and supports her sobriety.
This family loves attention, they live and breathe for this.
