Real Housewife Kim Richards: 'I'm Not An Alcoholic, I'm Just A Serious Social Drinker’
Posted on Nov 02, 2011 @ 12:05AM
Concerned about her constant drinking and in fear of her rebounding back into alcoholism, friends of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards have held an intervention for her, Star magazine is exclusively reporting, but she refused to acknowledge she had a problem.
After her sister Kyle Richards screamed at her, "You're an alcoholic," at the end of last season, Kim faced up to her demons and went into rehab, but she is now slipping back into bad habits, a source told the new issue of Star.
"Kim drinks daily and doesn't recognize that she has serious a problem," said the insider, who revealed that the 47-year-old former child actress literally fell flat on the floor on October 22, all the while "holding a glass of wine in her hand when she went down."

"We were all concerned," said the pal, but red-eyed Kim brushed it off and said she was just dehydrated.
Driven to despair, Richards' friends attempted to host an intervention two days after she toppled over, but she adamantly insisted she was OK, claiming: "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm just a serious social drinker."

Surprized Kim is 47! I thought she was the oldest of the group more like 60 plus. My mothers age. Kyle is strange. She is always trying to hog the camera. She is bi-polar agreed. Kim new boyfriend too sweet for her alcholic ways.......

This is why I stopped watching Bravo's RH shows...all of them. Bravo suits have no moral gauge at all, they had bipolar Kelly, alkie Kim, depressed Russell, tragic Gia and violent Teresa, lying adulterous Vicky it's disgusting.

It's more than alcohol; the way she is acting; could be bi-polar, ADD, anti-depresants? Who knows? She was not as bad the first season; I think that ending to the first season sent her over the edge. (?)

Kim is the most likable of them all. She does seem to have a drinking problem though. Get yourself some help and best of luck to you.

Kim you are in total denial It appears you are not just an alcoholic but a drug addict as well. Cocaine issues are pretty obvious on the show. Get help before its too late as it is aging you very rapidly. You look much older than you should
