Ouch.
It seems like L.A. is not supporting Kim Richards either.

Exchange between “pop culture experts” Tori Shulman and Segun Oduolowu
Tori: She loves to lock herself in the bathroom. Very dramatic. There is something about the bathroom she feels safe with, obviously. But it’s sad because she was just on the reunion and she was just saying that she had three strong years of sobriety, nothing was wrong, everything was perfect…I think that was a lie.
Segun: I think it’s glorious. I mean, it’s not glorious that she fell off the wagon and listen, I know I will probably get in trouble because I am talking about substance abuse, and I find it absolutely humorous that, she’s not a star, like she has no talent except the drinking. So it’s almost as if she is on camera to do this. It’s what made her famous. So it’s like, why are we surprised that a Beverly Hills Housewife, has nothing to do, they have nothing to do by the way but drink and spend money, she got drunk at the Polo Lounge
Female anchor: Isn’t that the job description? Like, drunken white woman?
Tori: Yes, it’s a lot of white wine and anger and sort of self-esteem issues.
Segun: It’s like,” what will I do with all of my husband’s money? It’s so tough!”
Tori: It’s sad, because she and Kyle Richards, who is also on the show, are sisters, they really had a huge fight on the reunion and it was like, somewhat sad,
Female anchor: She said the reunion perhaps…
Tori: … perhaps the reunion might have been the catalyst. It was quite sad. Even Andy Cohen was shedding a little tear.
Segun: Now we all have a reason to watch MORE and more, and consume this more and more, and watch any reality show. It’s about jumping off the rails. That’s what makes it fun. She is on the crazy train and we “have” to watch it.
I am sorry Word PRess is into putting in spaces where they should be. 🙁 It’s Friday night and I’m not even going to try.
OMG such draaaaama! TT, enjoy your weekend and let the rest of us devotees carry on for you! This is so, so what, I have no words!!!
No worries. Kim has support. She talks to her 3-4 times a day, if not more.
LOL… I can only imagine how Kathy’s face looks on the other end of the phone.
I imagine Kathy either puts her on speaker so everyone on Kathy’s end can mock her OR Kathy just sets the phone down, walks away, and returns twenty minutes later to hear Kim still obliviously blathering away.
LOL Kathy probably be like “Hurry up Kim. I have to film scenes with LaToya today.”
I seriously just want to hurt kim richards and im so not a violent person
Well, if it makes you feel better, she is probably hurting more than you can imagine right now without a random person she doesn’t know attacking her.

That’s the thing, I sort of feel sorry for her at this point. Shoot me now!
I think most people with a heart feel sorry for her. Let’s not drag out all the rumors and innuendo about her past tragedies as examples thought (not directing this to Wonkytonk, or anyone in particular) I’m just tired of getting emails (again not from WonkyTonk this just seemed like a good place to say it) about her difficult life.
Let’s all stick to what is happening now. Thanks. And again, apologies to WonkyTonk for tagging on to her post. I deleted some things and needed a place to chime in.

🙁
Segun doesn’t even seem to know who she is, though probably only the oldsters like me remember a time when everyone loved Kim Richards. And I’ve made it clear that I can’t stand the nasty bitch now, but I don’t think what is happening is “fun” or entertaining.
Ordinarily I’d feel bad for the shame of it all. But Kim tried to make a fool of all of us. She hijacked the season with her anger and never let anyone Complete one sentence! So yes we’re all reveling in her downfall. She deserves every snicker, glance, and told you so. She set it up that way.
It’s kind like when the gay preacher tells people drugs and gays are evil and they are going to hell. And then he gets caught doing those exact things. Ted Haggard? It’s sad but a great dose of humility for this woman in denial. If she was someone who admitted to struggling and treated concern with grace, we’d all be crucifying anyone who attacked Kim when she’s down. Instead she was on her high horse. I can’t stop laughing!
Sounds like none of then have actually watched an episode in their lives – PPP culture experts indeed.
Exactly, it sounded like they never watched the show. They sound like idiots especially this Segun person who clearly has no clue. Also, there is a diff between snarky and vicious.
Yes! Exactly. She went after everyone like a viper with all her total BS deflecting all the way so karma, baby.
I also don’;t like Kim. I don’t like how she behaves when drunk or sober. I do’t believe that she is a typical “Beverly Hills” housewife. I am sorry that the news reporters who made those comments apparently have absolutely no awareness of who Kim is or was and find her behavior entertaining. For the record, from my prospective it is anything but entertaining. I hope that she gets help, stops lying and deflecting and makes amends to those she has harmed. I will probably not like her any better when and if she gets sober but I wish her well. I am so NOT entertained by her behavior that I am not going to watch this show if she returns. I don’t want to see someone falling apart and making other people feel horrible in the process. I don’t want to watch Andy Cohen enable he rand continue to act like the ass kisser that he is and I don’t want to back Bravo as it thrives on the misery of others. I won’t laugh at an addict who has relapsed but I will be glad that I can easily remove her from my life by changing the channel. That’s not so easy for her family so I feel badly for them. Tamara, your ability to cover a story with facts and thoroughness is greatly appreciated and very much admired. You could teach those reporters a few things because you fact check and don’t simply sit around sounding like an idiot making pronouncements without doing your due diligence. As always, thank you.
GirlMe, I wouldn’t say I’m laughing at all of it, but I did laugh when she said Lisa Rinna might have a record for battery and here Kim is with one now. LMAO!!! Like I said before karma comes quick these day.
Well said! It’s Kim’s hypocrisy (and aggressive denials of having fallen off the wagon) that make her Polo Lounge crackup all the more karmalicious. Someone, somewhere, somehow, needed to (figuratively) smack that woman upside the head and knock her off that parrot perch of denial. So she did it herself, all the better. All that anger and viciousness needed to be brought down a peg or two. Thanks to Kim for bringing it about. Now maybe she can get some (more) rehab and quit flapping her yap about not having “pre imminently abandoned” her sobriety, and ” how dare anybody question (her) sobriety” !
Man, I started feeling bad, then the reunion was replaying–she was SO adamant that she’s sober and stop questioning it. Don’t lie on national TV AGAIN AND AGAIN, then not expect a backlash. But that isn’t the main reason I don’t feel too sympathetic. It’s how extremely mean she was. SO vicious. I mean, I hope that she’s only that awful when she’s not sober. So it’s more like I have a very hard time being sympathetic for a vicious hurtful person.
Wow, Merilyn actually put it really well. Ditto.
It may be a blessing in disguise if the embarrassment forces her to take a good long, hard look at herself and check into rehab!
If only she had it in her to be self-critical. She doesn’t. That’s why she is where she is. This is an individual who needs help. Like I’ve written before, feeling shame is the first step to fixing these problems. No one cares that she fucked up. Everybody makes mistakes. The problem is that she doesn’t believe it is a mistake. Her side of the story is always revisionist history. She’s probably NEVER been held accountable for her behavior. She’s a spoiled child run amok. This past season the show has exposed her sobriety nonsense for what it really is. They could have chosen to edit out a lot, like they probably have before. When Lisa R asked “Why’s everybody afraid of Kim Richards?” it was very telling. She didn’t say “Why’s everybody hate” her, or annoyed by her or intimidated by her. NO, she said afraid. That’s a sign that she’s been treating her cast mates and production very badly for a long time. Everybody’s fed up. People just want her to stop being abusive. That’s all.
You may be right about her not being accountable!! The family dynamic is very telling! Kyle is a drama queen I wonder how she got there and hope it wasn’t just for attention or to draw attention away from kim! Kyle also can’t seem to say the words that her sister is an alcoholic (I’ve only watched 2 seasons you may know better) and has always tried to protect and hide her bad behavior!! That was enabling kim! That entire family needs therapy because they don’t know how to deal with mental disease and addiction! All now Kyle is still trying to hide God knows what!! Between the two of them at that reunion going back and forth about not revealing stuff it’s so exhausting! I also suspect that their mother is at the root of all of this too! I keep thinking of Joe Jackson when they bring up big Kathy!
@Janshell! I think Kyle is sick of hiding the secrets! Thats why she seems to be more frustrated than ever with Kim! I dont think Kyle is a drama queen! I think that she is just very emotional! And just moreso with whats going on! I am so exhausted with all those exclamation points. I need to rest.
@janshell perhaps you should watch season 1 & 2 to if Kyle can use the term alcoholic.
Lol I probably should but you guys keep me pretty informed
One would assume her being arrested is the best thing that could had ever happened to her. I’ll take this over her family having to prepare for a funeral. As for her checking into rehab, until Kim acknowledges she has a problem with drugs and alcohol, she’s always going to be boozing and getting high. Kim already said on the reunions shes doesn’t believe she has a problem. It’s sad. I’m starting to be more upset at her narcissism more than her addiction. Because if she was just and addict with somewhat of a heart and didn’t treat others like shit, I could be more optimistic for her and cheer her on. But narcissism drives me crazy!
Minky: Good point about Rinna’s choice of words-“scared”, not “hate”, etc. Very astute.
ADMIN EDIT: PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
Oh my gosh I can’t imagine what your family has to deal with! I’m so sorry! Sad thing is others are hurt in the process!! It’s just heartbreaking!
Oops, sorry TT, forgot not to mention what we heard… I’ll be good.
Anyway, edited version: Minky – you’re spot on that Kim will not admit she did anything wrong or take accountability for any of this. I speak from experience as I have a close family member that seems to have the same behaviors/issues with mental health and addiction, and completely denies her actions or makes up a new story every time she does anything wrong to blame someone else (even if they weren’t there)…revisionist history as you said. Multiple times we all thought she had hit “rock bottom” and would seek help, especially when her husband was killed in an incident related to her substance abuse, but she continues to surprise me with how blatantly she will lie to shirk responsibility for anything. I think once someone gets so far down a road of being destructive to themselves and others, it’s too difficult for them to live in reality and acknowledge the consequences of their actions so they create a fantasy world where nothing they ever do is wrong. I really wonder if they really believe in the fantasy world or only care that everyone else does.
But if it’s not entertaining then why are we all watching and commenting? It’s fascinating, dramatic. Airing the dirty laundry for all the world to see. I guess it’s the same thing with folks slowing down to gawk at a car accident. Gruesome fascination with a tragic situation.
I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing the ladies having more fun and less ugly fighting for a change. Snarkiness is one thing but the heavy duty meanness coming from Kim towards Kyle is just not entertaining. And Brandi is just repulsive on various levels and as she’s usually in whining and backstabbing mode, her behavior is both predictable and tiresome. Time for a happier note with this group of real housewives.
I don’t really like the gloating and malice either. To say they all have nothing to do? Well I’m sure the ladies would differ with that. Most of them have a lot going on besides the show. Restaurants, qvc clothing lines, soap operas, retail stores, podcast, etc. I don’t agree with Kim and her behaviour on the show but to be dismissed in such a cavalier way is not cool. And what do these two anchors do that requires so much talent anyway?
So true!
Dear news anchor, I can’t wait to watch Kim OD and die, either. It will be so amusing and dramatic!
Some people really aren’t qualified for their jobs.
I totally agree and it’s one of the reasons why I come here and read what TT has to say. She obviously DOES care about her job and what she writes. Kim is pathetic and her family is a mess. As I said before, I am not entertained…I am fascinated and want to know more. I believe that is human nature.
I’m glad you made that distinction. “Entertained” is not the right word for how I feel, and I bet the same goes for many others.
Stop being so sane JustJenn. 😉 It must have been in their job description to take base pleasure from others downfall.
“Isn’t that the job description? Drunken white woman?” For the love of reality. One thing to say this, or anything really, in a blog. But an anchor on TV? No, it’s not flattering to Kim, the anchor or the station. @Justjenn, no some people are not qualified for their jobs!
Even Andy Cohen was shedding a tear. Great sarcasm
I live in L.A. Looks like I’m going to have to start watching channel 11!
No talent except the drinking ::snicker:: But hey, in all fairness, she IS going to be in Sharknado 3. So there MUST be some other talent than drinking. Right? Right? Bueller?
Ha ha!
So, it’s like (blah blah blah), because like (blah blah blah) it’s like (blah blah blah) like (blah blah blah)… 🙁
Soooo my sons best friend that lives on the same street as DONT MENTION MY SOBRIETY cannot get out of his driveway due to all the paparazzi. Still waiting to see who was drinking with her, my bet is on the glorious BG. Cause that’s the way she rolls right?
I don’t know who would rent to Kim because of all the negative press, not to mention having Kingsley on the property. It must be a family friend or even a rental property of Kathy Hilton’s.
She wouldn’t confirm if Kingsley is on the property or not, I guess in order to fool the landlord. How else is she allowed to keep that dog without Animal Control or the landlord getting involved?
Those poor neighbors. The landlord’s phone is probably ringing off the hook with complaints.
After watching Kim shriek & wail about her sobriety all season, I’m enjoying the shitshow. And the slant of this report is a nice departure from Brandi’s, er, I mean TMZ’s “poor Kim” version. But these “experts” sound like idiots. Don’t sully this Kim-tastrophy with stupidity. This is serious business. Vindication!
If it was Brandi delivering the info to TMZ, it’s because she’s crapping herself in fear. This fiasco has Brandi written all over it. Why doesn’t Kim tell Bradi to “Stop talking about me!”? Especially now. Hmmm?
That first part about her loving bathrooms! I swear I read that in a comment on here! Wait let me not swear!
Yep, I made that comment on the TMZ thread, I think. I can’t believe there haven’t been any witnesses or video yet!
Yeah it’s funny that just about every comment on here ends up on RH or some other site!! I bet Brandi and kim are on here more than we realize! Or their ‘tards’ and kimbeciles!
I can’t. Or should I say, I can’t!
Yep, the housewives always end their shit in a bathroom (no pun intended). I’m still standing by my comment/theory that Kim ran to the nearest bathroom for safety and to escape the (imaginary) RHOBC camera crew that she had forgotten was no longer filming for the season. Someone else then posted their “flushing” theory…A real possibility except a pro like Kim wouldn’t waste good powder. It probably took a minute to get all of it up that itty, bitty Beverly Hills nose.
Yes! I remember reading your comment in the very first post about Kim’s arrest. Cracks me up–valid theory!
So Brandi’s off getting her cellulite treatment right after her bff Kim gets busted. It’s all about Brandi 24/7, a real & true friend. Disgusting!
and she tweets that her boyfriend’s assistant is f*** lame and tags the Agency with the tweet. How can they keep J.R. on when the woman he is dating called the boss’ wife a f*** c*** an idiot and a liar on t.v.? Doesn’t J.R. realize that she is beginning to ruin his job for him? What sort of professional is he?
Wow. J.R. is such an idiot. He looked super scruffy, but not in a cute-scruffy way. I bet he’s a huge douchebag. Just a guess.
JR has always given me a little bit of a Jax vibe. >
Did I mention I can’t stand Brandi.
Wow….
I find these two anchors almost as disgusting as Kim.
I think if Kim had taken ownership or takes ownership (I know addicts often deny, deny, deny – but she’s recovered, right?) people would sympathize with her and offer her support. Instead, she’s been nasty and hateful to people who wanted to help her. She was throwing hateful accusations at people- perhaps to deflect from her own shit show. I think that’s why so many are taking pleasure in her public drama.
I’m sure Andy Cohen did shed a tear. Only because the cameras weren’t rolling to catch it all.
HAHA, the last few sentences. Good one Shell.
Does TMZ pay for stories? Was Brandi selling stories about Kim for her fillers and cellulite treatment??
The cellulite treatment tweet may be part of an endorsement deal. Is that really even her butt?
It’s all white wine and anger. That sums up the HWs
Not the least of which, I watched the reunion where she had just gone to rehab. You can see when she’s sober or not and it’s obvious for some time she hasn’t been. So to then go after everyone trying to help her, typical. I’m sure her good friend Brandi will blame it in everyone for getting her upset making excuses for her.
She wasnt sober at that reunion, the one where she was interviewed separately during rehab. She was so benzo’d out, it was painful.
OK guys…I never expected to say this: having been away on business all week without access to Bravo I was unable to watch the third part of the reunion until last night. I have gone in HARD on Kim and watching the reunion last night made me realize how broken Kim is…and Kyle is too!! I feel so much sadness for Kim and I completely feel heartbroken for Kim. Believe it or not, at this point all I want to do is hug her and hold her and tell her she is awesome and beautiful. I completely get why she feels so betrayed and I see how hurt she is. I don’t know why I couldn’t see it before. And don’t think
for a minute that Kyle isn’t severely
damaged as well. I never expected to feel this way. I see her pain and Hell, I feel it too and understand…we all need things and people to pray for and Kim goes directly to the top of my list, with lots of candles, too. I can’t even believe myself as I have been so brutal about her. And I finally realize Brandi is just as damaged – it just manifests in a different way. (Although I did like Sick of reality tv’s comment about the steamer trunk, but we were wrong for that and only meant it in a comedic way))
We have seen Kim be extremely irritable, she has a heightened sense of importance, she abuses drugs and alcohol, she is aggressive, and she denies that anything is wrong. These are all symptoms of a manic episode experienced by people who have bi-polar disorder. (I know, I know, OFFS, but anyway) Bi-polar is genetic and she probably got it from her mother and she has likely passed it on to her son. There are different degrees of the disorder, so it could be that Kyle has a touch of it too.
I agree that Brandi is also damaged, BRAIN damaged.
Yes! I agree. Kim self medicates to the extreme. But I can’t for the life of me how she went from a sympathetic and pathetic broken women to the entitled , spoiled unlikable bitch.
You are right on the money about this being genetic. Big Kathy had it and down the line it goes.I find it terribly sad.
Forgot to mention ~ Kim gave up acting to have children. She didn’t have a problem with not acting anymore at least while her children were growing. Kyle even said that Kim needed to get a life of her own because her children were grown and leaving the nest as it were.
LIKE!
I’m with you Gapeachinsc.
It is one thing for all us to come to this blog and have a few chuckles at Kim’s expense, but quite a bit different for a “news” channel covering a city the size of LA to do it. It was a bit distasteful to me.
I feel bad that everyone is bashing Kim for the TMZ story and for going after LVP when it was Brandi. LVP seemed upset on twitter that she was getting blamed. Hopefully she finds out it wasnt Kim.
I don’t think it will take Kyle very long to figure out it was Brandi who talked to TMZ.
They all know it’s Brandi. Stevie Wonder knows it! Brandi is long overdue for a serious bust to her face.
It even sounds like some shit Brandi would say. The stuff from TMZ, I mean. The only difference is they omitted all of the four letter words.
I know it might be hard to believe, but there are people in this world so manipulative and sneaky and evil that they can beat your ass, commit all sorts or crimes, talk shit about you to everyone, and then somehow have you be the one who goes to jail or court. They can do all of this shit to you and somehow, almost miraculously, be able to turn it around and sue you for slander and libel or personal injury. I know, weird huh? People like this are out there. They take advantage of every resource and channel at their disposal. I’m not diagnosing anybody from the shows, but this sort of behavior is usually called psychopathy or borderline or antisocial, you get the idea.
When these sorts of individuals get exposed for what they really, truly are, and people start putting the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out how they’ve been gaslighted, these individuals fly into a rage and their true personality and motivations start to surface. I don’t wish anybody any misfortune. Just saying, there is such a thing.
I am no doc but don’t we see a pattern here. With almost every child star as they grow and most don’t get the parts anymore. They still think they are the “special ones” when they are working as children they are (most of them) so rotten and spoiled just so they will perform well on screen, be it the TV screen or the Movie screen. They need more shrinks for these kids as they grow out of the adorable child star to not so beautiful adults. I know the studios probably don’t think it’s necessary because all they want it the “SHOT” for the story the kid is in. These kids are so screwed up (most of them) they don’t know which end is up. The have a part or a sit com and they have people coming out of the wood work to do their bidding. Then the part goes away and they ARE the wood work. This in Kim seems to me to be the result. She is a has been and she doesn’t know it, or maybe she does and won’t face it. Her behavior has been awful, she thinks she can hide the booze and the pills, but ya can’t. I do wish her and her family well, and hope she will one day be well. Being on this reality show is not the way to do it though.
Puppylove, I think you’re on to something. Kim reminds me of Danny Bonaduci, without the honesty. Both messed up by fame and bad parenting. Kim touched me on how nice and grateful she was when she had the meet & greet with her fans. She was amazing during that event. Not excusing her bad behavior now, but that showed me how desperate she is to live in her glorious past.
Being nice or mean is a choice, Kim plays at nice when it benefits her. When Kim hugged Lisa R. at the reunion, that was her playing at nice.
My opinion is Kim was touted and made to think she was the “it” girl. Kim is one mad Lady. When the fame faded Kim’s true nature came out.
I can’t stand when something uses the word “LIKE” in every sentence. How old is this woman?
Good catch! She’s so Southern California.
Yeah, except that’s such an old stereotype of Southern California.
BH Wannabe is right – it’s an old stereotype. I still sometimes hear young people using “valley speak” but they aren’t all from California!
She looks late 20’s, maybe early 30’s
Geez That’s pretty rough. And I thought we were rough on her over here in the TT peanut gallery! We look like nuns compared to these anchors. Lol
Wow, how distasteful. Now that the truth is out for the whole world to see, I hope it wakes Kim up to take responding for her problem but I’m not sure it will. I honestly suspect there is something more going on because before she was just weird, and funny, but this terrifyingly mean Kim is totally out of control. I wonder if it has to do with combinations of whatever she’s using. I don’t know. I’m sure miss perfect Kathy “Stepford wife” Hilton is mortified but Kyle is likely relieved.
I’m appalled at my behavior following Kim’s arrest. I snickered and rubbed my hands together and thought “Ha ha! You got caught bitch!” I’m VERY ashamed but also just a tiny molecule of my brain activity still feels that way. I come to TT to read what all you lovely ladies (for the most part) feel and deduce from situations and also to validate my own little molecule of weakness. We all shore each other up. Thank you!
ADMIN EDIT: PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
Sorry. What rule(s) did I break, RobinR?
I sincerely hope Kim doesn’t go the Russell Armstrong route. She reminds me so much of a dear friend who is an alcoholic.
The moment they ‘use,’ they relive the past and where it all went wrong. Move forward!
That news cast is gutter.
Gamble, a housewife from the RHOMelbourne franchise is getting a lot twitter backlash for this tweet below & she had the nasty nerve to tag Kim Richards too:
Gamble Breaux @GambleBreaux · 4h 4 hours ago
Last night we partied like @KimRichards11 however no police officers cared! #RHOBH @RHOMelbourne @LaDolceItaliaAu
Dammit, I was thinking I liked Gamble and she just had her “moments of stupidity”. I think they might be some very long “moments”.
Bitch .. There was no need.
Wow. That Gamble is one stupid chick. >
She didn’t need to tag but I cant help it
I don’t think Kyle is a drama queen. I think she is and has been stuck between a rock and a hard place most of her adult life. The very fact that her mom left her executor of the estate instead of the older siblings tells me she trusted Kyle to see the right thing was done. Also, she asked Kyle to look out for Kim which indicates her mom saw Kim had issues and Kyle was more apt to take care of her. The issues may have stemmed from how Kim grew up..but that is not on Kyle. I really liked Kim. She seemed a little off center and a nutty in a cute way. This year I saw a viper that would use her venom to hurt the very people who were concerned about her. She is a mean woman and she probably has been most of her adult life. As far as the addiction – experts tell us you stop your emotional growth at the point you start using. So, she is probably using the coping skills that a teenager does.. And they have probably served her well through the years. Kim’s actions are consistent with those of a addict. She will say or do whatever she has to in order to continue her behaviors. I am sure Kyle and Mauricio have cleaned up messes at Kim’s house more than once. This cannot be the first time Kim has had a drunken melt down. It appears Kyle would like to help her sister but if anything done during that “helping” gets in the way of Kim using Kim will go after her instead of admitting she has a problem. Kathy, her kids and other family and friends all have to know she is a substance abuser. When someone suggests she has a problem she attacks them and threatens to out their secrets. I hope the courts mandate she gets help in a long term facility. They could save her life. I don’t think any of her family can make her do anything. The very fact she chose to go get wasted in a public place instead of just buying a bottle and go home an drink tells you how arrogant she is that she can and will do just what she pleases.
Excellent post.
Kim’s life/behavior is beginning to look like Baby Jane Hudson’s!! “Whatever happened to Baby Jane” played on TV a week ago and I could not help but see the parallel.
Exactly. Kim needs humility and so far, she’s not shown anything but arrogance, entitlement and rage. If this latest humiliation isn’t her hitting bottom, then what will it take? On one hand, it’s like she got her just desserts after a season of emotionally mauling her sister Kyle. On the other hand, she’s an addict and that’s a tragic situation for Kim, her kids and her sisters. We all love a success story so I’m hoping she proves herself to be capable of saving herself for not only her own sake but for the sake of her children.
I’m just wondering…are these people from the Valley or some shit??? “Like, Like, Gag me with a pitchfork!” Holy Bajeezus!
I don’t think Kim has ever effectively sought treatment for the trauma in her past, probably because it’s too painful to relive it even in therapy. I don’t think Kim will get clean and stay clean until she learns and employs the proper coping mechanisms to deal with the kind of trauma she’s been through. It’s too easy to grab a bottle of pills and booze to obliterate the memories of the trauma and too painful to not only face the trauma stone cold sober but also the fact that many people who could have and should have put a stop to it or helped her failed her miserably.
I hope she gets the help she needs but I really do believe she’s got a long and extremely painful road to recovery ahead of her. The truth of the matter is if she doesn’t get on that road and stay on it and but quick, she’s going to find herself in a whole world of hurt..or dead.
Tigerlilly—-I have not commented on this subject just because I had trouble finding my voice on the matter. Am I disgusted, am I shocked— or worse, am I amused?
Truth be told— all of the above.
I think your intelligent post above captures the issue at hand; and the pain that is to come. In ways that none of us can really comprehend for that whole family.
They will each play out their part, suffer the pain and recriminations that go back decades. So sad.
Thank you for your post. It is smart and thoughtful.
