According to the police report, Kim Richards, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills starlet was in the process of being escorted off the property of the hotel when she asked for a detour to use a bathroom before she left. Once in the loo, she refused to leave and the police entered the bathroom to take her into custody. The police report continues: “Ms Richards was displaying symptoms of alcohol intoxication including slurred speech and belligerent insolent behavior cursing at the offices and passively resisting arrest.” Once off to jail it was reported she kicked an officer in the leg. Kim Richards was released at 10:30 the next morning and issued a notice to appear citation requiring her to appear before the Los Angeles County Superior Court on May 10th, 2015.
Co-Star, Dr. Paul Nassif, reportedly told BravoTV.com that Kim Richard’s behavior was the result of a combination of medications that Ms. Richard’s had been properly prescribed, but had the effect of causing her to appear intoxicated, and, reportedly, alcohol was not involved. Below is some tweet activity from cast mates on the very popular real life show:
Lisa Rinna: “I was sad to hear about Kim’s incident and I wish her and her family the best.”
Lisa Vanderpump: “U can’t help somebody til they want to help themselves,I know for sure that the sisters will always support each other when the time comes.”
Brandi Glanville: “Real friends are their in the good times, the bad times &especially the worst times. I am blessed with real friends & am a real friend myself.”
Eileen Davis: “I feel badly for Kim Richards and her family my thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.”
According to RadarOnline.com, Kim’s sister Kyle is still refusing to speak to her following their “RHOBH” reunion blowup.
