Some new legal activity is going on with the Kim Richard’s dog bite case this week. Kim Richard’s dog Kingsley caused severe injury to an elderly guest at her house. The plaintiff, Kay Rozario, has requested a summary judgment because from what I make of this, Kim has not responded to her summons or provided the court with any defense. It appears she has done NOTHING about this issue.
In the latest legal action, called a “Prove UP” The 81 year old plaintiff states that she lost a tremendous amount of blood and feared that she was going to die as a result of the attack. When the paramedics came she was still flat on her back. She could not get up and the floor was slick with blood. She did not want to wait for an ambulance and left the house immediately in fear of Kim Richard’s dog Kingsley.
Kim Richard’s Dog Kingsley Causes Very Serious Injuries!
Rozario had two serious bites in her left hand and right arm. She went into great detail about her two months of pain and suffering at the site of the bites. Rozario also mentioned her current anxiety, specifically a fear of dogs she had never had before.
She states that she lives next door to neighbors on both sides with large dogs. Npw, the fear keeps her from enjoying her property, unless the neighbors bring their dogs inside. She also has anxiety when news shows run report of a dog attack. In addition, she severely injured her back in the fall and continues to experience pain from that.
As I told you in my initial post on this case, Evolution Productions was dismissed by the court as a defendant. As I said then, their inclusion was ridiculous in the first place as they had no liability at all in the situation.
The summary judgment has not been signed yet. But the prove up is pretty thorough and she has a good shot at it I think. It’s just not a good time to be Kim Richards. Documents suggest that the plaintiff will be awarded $1,050,000. Update, so far she has only received just over $8K. The whereabouts and condition of Kim Richard’s dog Kingsley remains unknown.
Good! Kim promised to pay her for her injuries and never did. This has sure been one hell of a week for Kim Richards!
Agreed. Unlike Kim, those pictures don’t lie!
If that poor woman was on a blood thinner she could have bled out & died! Now, someone tell me that Kim isn’t at risk of harming herself or others…. #5150
Haha. Well, the pictures don’t lie. You certainly got that right. But I don’t know, just telling you what I have seen up here in my detox nursing experience.
I hadn’t even taken into account Kingsley.
@I.just.can’t
I don’t mean “haha, funny”. I mean “haha, ya got me there.”
Pip, I wasn’t directing that comment at you… Was just saying it in general. Sorry if it came off that way or bitchy- didn’t mean it to!
No worries, girl (or guy?). Haha
It’s hard to detect tone sometimes in comments.
Kim is a disaster. Kim needs help. BIG FUCKING TIME.
But thanks for the explanation, I.Just.
And truthfully, I JUST CAN’T with Kim Richards anymore. Since she chose to ignore her friends significant injuries, and coaxed this poor old lady out of calling 911, (not to mention all the other crap she has pulled and people she has hurt), she deserves every bit of justice that we can hope is coming her way.
Pip, it’s girl. And we are on the same page! I really, really, really just can’t with her anymore!
Kim will file bankruptcy and move on. Chances are the plaintiff will get about 25% of what she asking. I am a little surprised Kay didn’t sue the property owners-they would have had insurance.
Exactly. Sadly, the property owner has liability for anything that happens on their property. The lawyers for the plaintiff tried to sue the production company? WHY? The homeowners insurance would have been the best route.

I wish we could ask the attorneys why they didnt name the property owner as well in the suit. Not sure what assets Kim has to attach, but hope Kims next bravo paycheck goes straight to poor Kay. In fact Kim should be sentenced to having to continue doing the show , and forking it all over to the victim till its all paid. What a creep! My mom is that age ,and diebetic with high blood pressure too ,and this would have probably done her in. I was just thinking Kyle really owes Muhammad’s friend
Valley View,
I agree…
I am an artist. Someone commissioned me to do work and did not pay. I sued. He did exactly what Kim did… ignored it (never responded, never got a lawyer). I received a default judgment for $170,000. I threw everything but the kitchen sink into the lawsuit.
Collecting was a different story. I only recouped $30,000 from him. He was an oily piece of shit. I got him good in the end. He was planning on partnering with a guy on a joint venture…. well…. small world. I also knew the guy and shared my experiences with him. He ran the other way. The oily piece of shit til this day does not know I am the one who squashed it for him.
He is in his 80’s. When he dies, I’ll go after his estate.
I believe that Kay Rozario has been a longtime friend of the family, back during the days when Big Kathy was alive. Maybe Kay herself or a member of her family or close friend of hers owns the property?
I’m sure Kim has had a rather spotty rental history over time and it can’t be easy for her to find landlords willing to rent to her unless someone steps in and co-signs or sponsors her that way. There must be a reason why the property owner wasn’t targeted.
Kim has more or less been able to hide sneaking drugs and alcohol for the past few years, but this past season it started catching up with her, and now it has come to a breaking point. Hopefully she does go to rehab after Brooke’s wedding.
Meant to add Kyle owes Mohammads friend Martin, a big old apology for ever setting him up with Kim that time. Geez why do that to Martin?
Lisa set Kim up with Martin
If she cared at all about Brooke, she would go into rehab now and not even ask to be let out for the wedding. Now Brooke’s wedding is going to be all about Kim.
A dog is definitely a deadly weapon! This judgement is not even enough for compensation for me. It’s too bad that Kim even let Kyle’s kid around Kingsley, and then threw Kyle’s daughter under the bus. She would have probably gotten Kyle and Mauricio to pay the amount. I agree with those saying bankruptcy is likely.
Brooke must be sick with worry how her Mother will behave at her wedding. I can see Kim insulting her husbands business associates and getting in arguments with other guests, nightmare. Even makes my stomach turn over with concern.
Youre right sweet tea I forgot that it . Was Lisa who tried to set up Martin with Kim. Nowv I remember Lisa telling Martin about Kim and that she was Kyle’s sister. Martin looked hopeful and was like oh is she like Kyle? Kyle is lovely he said. Lisa said no shes different. Kim looked very pretty when she came to Mohammads party and met Martin but it went downhill from there. Kim acted rude and weird and I think Kyle was embarassed. She tried to get Kim to thank Martin for giving Kim a ride home but Kim wouldnt do it. Martin is too smart to get taken in by Kim anyway.
That poor woman is 81 years old! I sure hope Kim has Homeowners Insurance (or rental insurance if she is renting). And after the payout, I hope they drop her ass.
Homeowners doesn’t cover default judgments. You have to turn the claim in when you get sued so the insurance company’s attorneys can defend the action. Kim just ignored it.
I could have sworn my roomies homeowners insurance was canceled after the dogs second attack.
I am probably wrong, clearly you know more about this than me
just imagine that. kim just ignored the paperwork. she is so delusional.
she swears the world revolves around her. she needs to be put in her
place. but she walked/ran out of the dr.phil interview, saying she was
not f—–g going. with her kids begging her to go.
I’m thinking she was betting on Evolution to have her back AND bail her out.
Oh my those photos of the victims wounds ! That is not just a dog bite, she suffered a full blown vicious attack ! I’m just gob smacked at the horror she has gone through. Where in the hell was Kim when her “vicious child” what making mince meat out of her life long friend?
Kim did NOTHING! How do you not respond at all when a family friend of MANY years is attacked by your dog? HOW? How do you not pay the $4k Hospital bills, send flowers every day, apologize your ass off and give them whatever they want? IDGI?

Oh okay- I get it now. Kim does not own that property. She is a renter. I wasn’t sure if she owned the house herself.
That makes sense.
I’m repeating myself here, but: Limbo, how low can you go.
That lady is 81 years old and Kim is damn lucky she didn’t have a heart attack when the dog went after her.
Unfortunately, most -if not all- homeowner insurance policies will not cover incidents stemming from certain dog breeds. You can bet your bottom dollar a Pit Bull is at the top of the list. This entire situation is very sad for the victim and Kingsley, who deserved to be trained and cared for by a competent person.
We just bought a new home in August and my insurance guy did ask how many dogs we had and what their breeds were. I did wonder about that, now that you mention it.
How could Kim turn her back on her “second mother” this way? She just let her bleed out and not call an ambulance? I think that this woman is suing for the right reasons. It certainly isn’t a frivolous lawsuit. I am sure this woman was so traumatized by this event that she deserves compensation for that as well. A normal person would have rushed this woman to the hospital, paid her bills, sat by her side, and gotten rid of the dog. She did the same thing with Alexia. She cares more about the dog’s welfare than the welfare of the people she allegedly loves. She has more problems than just addiction. How much blood does this dog have to spill on Kim’s floors before it is taken away? Before she is taken away?
There is nothing frivolous about this suit. If any of these images were me or my family I would faint. Literally. And then I would sue the crap out of the owner. No wonder that lady has terrors and nightmares.
I’m with you Shay. I have to scroll as quickly as I can past these photos of her injuries. I wouldn’t find anything Kay Rozario says about this mauling to be an exaggeration, it just looks traumatizing! I can’t even imagine the horror of the attack as it was actually happening.
Here in California Homeowner’s/renters have to pay extra $ 300 for Pitbull’s in the residence. I know this because our Pit and Yorkie had a party with our neighbors Doberman and Mini Doberman. it was funny because the owner came home to all four dog’s tearing the house up. They knocked down the fence and went in through the doggie door, luckily the only things destroyed could be replaced. Since then all four of the boys are in training camp.
I hope she’s on suicide watch. She was barely holding together “normal”.
I believe that is a bullshit act. She IMO deals from the same deck Jody Arias does. She is a selfish coward who only puts her own agenda first. The closest she will get to suicide is a threat.
See, I feel the exact same way. This is not an ordinary addict we’re talking about. It’s looking more and more like she’s just fucking evil.
I have sympathy for people who are in despair and self-medicate to cope with shit. I feel for people who are dealing with circumstances beyond their control (illness, money problems, family and relationship issues). But this shit?! No.
She deliberately swept this under the rug. Not just with one person, who I now see described as her lifelong friend, but with her sister’s child too. What if the dog had attacked little Portia? Hmm? What then?
She’s a manipulator and a calculating liar. The more she tries to make her problems go away, or tries to bully people into following her orders, the more it all blows up in her face.
I believe so many of us who comment here respond so strongly to this because we have people in our lives who do or have done similar things to us. That’s where the vitriol comes from. It’s hard to watch a person like this get away with hurting the people who love them so many times with no repercussions.
I’ve always kind of felt badly for Kim in an underdog-ish kind of way. I have dealt with a lot of addicts and they are often times surprising when they turn around.
But I don’t know, this whole thing really hit home with me tonight. The fact that she didn’t pay this woman’s medical bills. The fact that this woman is 81 years old. The fact that this woman was a dear family friend. The fact that when Kyle shouted “Kim! My daughter almost lost her HAND”! The fact that Kim replied “Oh God! It was a little bite on her fucking finger”!
I think I have hit my empathy/ sympathy wall with Kim Richards.
I think I need to take a break from the Kim Richards bandwagon. It’s bothering me too much.
I think I need to just refrain from reading about her for awhile. I’m going to take a little LOA from Kim and Brandi. It feels too icky now.
Kate and Minky:
I would agree with both of you, but the taste of windows doesn’t appeal to me, so I don’t want to be relegated to the dreaded “window licker” status!
Sadly, I don’t know where how Kay would collect on the judgment. It is one thing to get a judgment, another to receive it.
I”m shocked that the homeowner was not included. I understand that insurance likely would not cover it, but the homeowner’s assets (including the home) could have been attached. Presumably the home has a significant mortgage or is protected by a trust.
Interesting turn of events. I’m curious to see where this will go.
(See how good I’ve been TT? I’m trying to turn over a new leaf!)
I totally agree with you guys, Kate and Minky. And boy, Kim sure does hit a raw nerve or something because she really brings out the vitriol in me. I think my husband would be happy if I do as Pip says and take a break from all this (he says I’m obsessed…the nerve, lol.) However, I’m too curious to see Kim on Dr. Phil so I will continue to watch this train wreck.
@Gilette: I don’t believe that Tamara does not want you to express your opinion, but she just realizes that these articles are about real people who, in this case, are in a serious crisis.
Kim is an addict. A blind person could see that. Kim has problems. Big problems, that could no longer be neatly edited out of the show. Also very obvious. Kim is also not necessarily a nice person. The evidence is everywhere. When you put those three issues together in a reality TV personality, it’s gonna cause a strong reaction in the people who watch the show. There is a sort of catharsis that comes with being able to comment about the scandals that happen to people in the public eye.
I think that what really bothers Tamara is when commenters indiscriminately diagnose a person’s health issues. We feel like we know these characters, but we don’t. After all, it’s a TV show and we can’t truly know what’s going on behind the scenes.
i realize that the elderly’s skin is very thin and tears easily but my god that was gruesome. i can only imagine how terribly frightened she was and how much pain she suffered. if i remember what you posted earlier she knew the dog was not a kind dog, but damn kingsly damn near ate her. i have a fear of big dogs, and some mid size dogs as well, and i try and avoid them if i can. i do have a lab and she is a love and doesn’t even bark unless the schwans man comes and she gets her doggie sundaes (get some for banjo) she knows that is her ice cream truck and she spazzes out. after getting torn up like that i would be scared also.
I have a huge German Shepherd, sweet as sugar, but I keep an extra-large wire kennel set up in her bedroom. When I’m expecting friends who are afraid of big dogs or service people, I kennel her. Puddin’ has free reign in the house when we’re alone or only when my daughters and close friends who love her are visiting. People who own large dogs and/or aggressive dogs have an extra responsibility to use common sense to keep everyone safe. I feel terrible for Kingsley; he’s never had the security of a knowledgable, responsible owner. I wouldn’t leave a goldfish with her. I hope this woman gets her summary judgement. The arrogance of Kim’s not even showing up! Unbelievable.
i so agree, i have a freind who is terrified of dogs, all dogs. and my belle is the sweetest most gentle dog and i put her away when my friend comes over. it’s just the right thing to do. my son takes her out on the street and hits wiffle balls for her all the time and everyone on the street knows her and is used to her but when we see a kid on a bike or walking we don’t know he brings her in. again, it’s the right thing to do. we are good dog mama’s.
That poor woman was really severely injured and traumatized. I cant believe Kim was trying to convince her not to call 911. After seeing Kingsley do that, Kim still kept him rather than at least sending him for intensive training. Karma is not happy with Kim Richards.
And that was BEFORE Kingsley bit Alexia.

Kim needs to get into long term rehab ASAP. Hopefully, she will listen to Kathy. I’m sure Kyle has locked herself in a closet by now.
I really hope Dr. Phil doesn’t promote this episode the way he did Dina Lohan and Nick Gordan.
I’m just going to peek through the cracks of my fingers and see how this plays out.
Um, promoting his show is Dr. Phils J O B.

Totally Kim’s fault for telling the woman the dog was harmless, as she knew better. IMO, this should be more than a monetary penalty. That poor woman has been through hell. I suspect Kim’s only concern was for having her way, as usual, and she wanted the dog with her, rather than putting him in a secure place while she had guests. Kim knew she could not control her dog. To me, this seems little different than if Kim herself had voluntary harmed the woman.
Holy Shit! That looks like she got shot! You can see her hand bone. That dog is not to be fucked with. He should be taken away from Kim immediately. And she seriously tried to convince the lady to not call an ambulance. No Sir. This tears it!
That is awful, just awful. Were these posted before or is this the first time the pics were released? Just totally crazy, poor lady. I’ve only been bit on the calf and once, had a Doberman jump at my face. All these years later I can still remember the look in his eye just before he dove at me. Can’t imagine how scary this was for Ms Rozario.
This was new photos, probably exclusive to TT for now, submitted in court in documents on the 21st as part of the prove up.

I got high blood pressure just watching that dog on my tv. I can’t believe everyone let it stay with Kim even after the trainer told her ON FILM that it was out of control. If the rumors are true and everyone knew Kim was always high or drunk, then it attacks an old woman AND her own niece… then she says it’s as important as her own children?? Was the dog taken away from her finally? I knew something tragic was going to happen. It was like given a loaded gun to a two year old.
The dog is “off limits.”
I’m sure Kim’s kids feel great knowing their mother puts them on the same level with the dog. She really is a very stupid, very nasty person. She claims to have been sober at game night, and hid Brandi’s crutches and refused to be on a team with her. She also claimed to be sober at the reunions and was nothing but a self-pitying, nasty bitch in all three. Whatever sympathy she might have garnered from me was spent long ago. Also, people like her never seem to realize that even if they apologize or get sober, it doesn’t change the things they’ve done or said or allowed to happen.
@Suzanne D Twice you say things that are only rumors you heard. Rumors can be just as devastating as lies. You mention the crew and rumors and then you bring up the rumor (specific rumor deleted by Admin and post this commenter has responded to has been deleted) Do you know this as a fact? I am not pro Kim, I just don’t like seeing anyone pass along rumors they’ve heard or read.
Admin edit: Can we please leave out rumors from blind item sites and extremely personal information about people’s childhoods and children’s mental health? I am telling you I can’t take much more of this. And this is not directed to kallen who is merely responding with similar disgust, but the deleted posts. It makes coming to my own site miserable for me and I need you all to stop with this shit.
Terrible. That poor woman. So awful. I wish her a successful recovery. This is very sad.
Wow, take responsibility. Kim is digging not only her grave but potentially Kingsley’s. Where is the dog now?
Kingsley is believed to still be living with Kim, Allegedly according to my sources who are neighbors.

Why hasn’t Animal Control taken the dog away from her? That’s what would happen where I live.
It’s not so cut and dry. My former neighbors had two giant dogs who would somehow manage to escape from the house while they were away during the day. These dogs terrorized the neighborhood for a long time. I heard all kinds of stories. The dogs almost had a dog dight with another random pair of dogs on my front lawn. I’ve never heard barking and growling so loud in my life. They even attacked and wounded the cat of an old man who lived one street over so badly that the cat almost died. The dogs’ owner would go into a tizzy looking for the dogs when he’d get home from work. Thing is, this idiot would leave the window open and the dogs would just bust through the screen. Anyhoo, animal control was called several times over a period of what seems like a year. Nothing was ever done to truly fix the problem. The dogs’ owners were eventually evicted. That’s it. And I live in Southern California.
I am a nationally accredited residential manager and worked in property management for 30 years. My theory on why the landlord was not named is because the national standard is that the landlord would have to have “actual knowledge” that Kingsley is vicious. This means the landlord would have had to have known that he has threatened or bitten someone. I don’t know if California or LA has any statutes that would over ride the standard. The production company knew more about Kingsley’s behavior than the Landlord (I assume) so they were named but it was thrown out. I’m sure it would have been the same for landlord. However, with all the publicity, I’m surprised that Kim was not been evicted.
She has also tried to re-register the dog under someone else (maybe her daughter??) to try and hide his bite history. She lied at the reunion when she said that he was with a trainer.
My prayers for the victim. And can you imagine being one of Kim’s kids? Their lives must have been drama filled. Shame on Kim for being so irresponsible. She thinks she’s still a star. That ship sank a long time ago.
If the dog comes to an unfortunate end it is all Kim’s fault. I had a dog that bit someone severely and he bit three times. The owner’s husband told his wife she had to get rid of the dog when she got pregnant. I agreed to take the dog on because I thought there was hope for him. He had been treated brutally by a trainer – he once hung him from a tree to show him who was boss. I live by myself in a very rural area so I could keep him safe from others. He was very territorial about food. I put it down and left the room for over a year. One night I was eating pop corn. He looked like he wanted some. I thought maybe this was the moment to gain his trust. I held my breath and offered him some. He took it and wagged his tail. So pop corn eating became a nightly ritual. Soon I was able to pet his head and brush him. We became buddies. However, I did not ever trust that he would not bite other people. He was put in a dog run and back door was locked whenever I had company – no exceptions. Kids wanted to go see him because he was a beautiful Dalmatian and the answer was always ,”No”. I worked evenings often getting home at 1 or 2 in the morning When I saw him looking out the window I knew it was safe to go in the house. We had a wonderful relationship for years and I was glad I took a chance on him. When you take on the responsibility of a dangerous dog you are obligated to contain them and make sure they don’t hurt anyone. Kingsley needs an owner who will spend the time to work on his aggression and at the same time keep him away from people.
Wow what a nice story. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Pam. What a compassionate and kind person you are.
That is really impressive and it’s good to know there are people like you in the world who will put themselves out there to make the world a better place for an abused animal.
Pam-
I would be so nervous taking in a dog that had a history of attacks and or biting. I don’t think I could do it (and I am a dog lover with two snoozing on my bed right now). You are brave and to be commended for saving this dog.
Great story. Thank you. Glad the dog found you.
Enough is enough. Kim Richards…you should be ashamed. Keep going like you are and one day, people will finally be done with you and your abuse. This lady was suppose to be a very close personal friend. Bad enough that she was attacked after the dog had already attacked before….but not taking any responsibilities for it is by far one of your more shameful behaviors.
Her medical bills were $4,000. She should have at least paid that and prayed for no lawsuit. In these situations, an apology and care for the victim would have done wonders.

I’m sure Kim thinks that’s “just a little bite on her finger”.
Exactly. I think this poor woman’s feeling were hurt, and if Kim had behaved in a responsible and caring way, there would have been no lawsuit. Kim deserves this lawsuit.
Right on! I had a Labrador, she was a rescue. I told people while she was very cute to NOT go near her! Well one time someone did, he said he was “good with dogs” and did not listen to me. She bit him, not a big wound but a puncture wound none the less. I called my insurance company, I reported the dog bite, I took care of the bills. Like you said TT it did wonders! My dog was very protective of me, because she saw my ex-husband abuse me.
I’m sure Kim will blame her now for having such bad wounds, of which pictures were released that make Kim look bad. She should be glad the dog went after Alexia, who at least is near adulthood and could somewhat protect herself, and not Portia.
If Kim wasn’t such a cunt, I’d almost feel bad for her. Almost.
OMG! Kim downplayed that and that poor lady deserves every penny plus more! Disagree on the suicide watch, Kim is such a narcissist she would be more prone to hurting others, her past confirms that sadly.
Yeah, those photos really put it into perspective. I feel a little traumatized just by seeing them. I feel so bad for Ms Rosario. And Kingsly. Kim is a real cunt.
It’ll be anothe card Kim will play, since she knows Bravo is terrified of having another suicide associated with it. You’re right, she would never do it. If I were that poor lady’s child or grandchild, I would be on my way to California to beat the tar out of Kim Richards.
I wonder why animal control hasn’t taken Kingsley away by now. There has been a lot of press about this and Kyle’s daughter. Kim is signing Kingsleys death certificate
I have wondered that, too.
I had a roommate in Maryland that had a Rottweiler.
They euthanized him after three attacks. He literally threw me into the air once, and went straight for the poor UPS guy. He was incredibly strong.
She was devastated, and I loved her to death (still do), but you HAVE to be able to control your dog. Period.
Maybe it’s a three strikes your out kind of policy with dogs. Maybe it depends on where you live. I really don’t know.
OMG this makes me so sad to hear 🙁 I have a 120 lb. Rottie named Madrina who is the biggest baby in the world. She is protective of all of us and super protective of my 14 yr. old autistic grandson, but has been trained properly and has never attacked anyone. If you don’t pay attention to her first when you walk in the door she lets you know it by howling until you acknowledge her LOL! It’s all in the training of the dog. Kingsley from first sight scared the hell out of me and I am a dog lover! He has that crazed look in his eyes. I wasn’t surprised to hear about him attacking people but MY GOD those wounds are horrible.
When the hell is Kim going to hit rock bottom and admit she has problems?
My neighborhood would raise Cane about anyone keeping a dog that had attacked twice! If I were Kim’s neighbors I’d really be on guard. Poor dog, Kim has really mucked this up. Hope he doesn’t snack on her when she’s hung over and forgets to feed him.
It’s come up at previous reunions that when Kim doesn’t return her calls, Kyle worries that Kingsley ate her. And this was before Kay Rosario or Alexia. >
After seeing those pictures Tamara put up…I’m convinced that dog was trying to eat that lady. Not attack – EAT!
Wow! The images are gruesome! I can only imagine Kyle’s daughter’s bite that was so deep it infected the bone.
The very first image with the site of the bone is jarring. The anxiety this woman is living is so sad.
Kim Richards is disgusting for not even providing a defense. Pay up! The lady should have asked for more. All these images are traumatizing even for a reader. Ouch!
1 million?? To think this could have been prevented by keeping the dog away from guests. And to think Kim could have avoided this lawsuit by finding him a new home. It’s incredibly sad for everyone involved. Kim may have brought all of this on herself, but I still can’t help but have some sympathy for anyone this far down.
Kim had that attitude of blah blah blah, with the dog trainer. She thought it a big joke to blow him off, and not give a fuck about the training ,or takng precautions he was saying she must take, to not put people in harms way. Just like how she acted when Lisa R tried to offer help with her sobriety. This is all Kims fault. She didnt care about her niece either. This lady suing deserves compensation, and Kim deserves to pay.
Oh my goodness, this is bad…and sad too. I adore dogs, but as much as I adore them, they cannot be allowed to hurt human beings. It’s not an option. Kim has done a great disservice to what may have been an otherwise fabulous dog, by not taking seriously it’s training needs. Remember when the trainer brought Kingsley back from training, and he was trying to get Kim to do a small exercise, which she couldn’t, or wouldn’t do, and then just made a big joke out of it and kind of laid on the dog? Ahahahahaaaa, it was soooo much fun and funny….only now, not so much. As far as I’m concerned, if poor Kingsley has to be put down, the fault will lie squarely on Kim Richards shoulders. I feel so sorry for this elderly lady that had to endure this, she will probably have PTSD for the rest of her life, for something that never had to happen. I hope the dog doesn’t have to be put down, but I hope Kim doesn’t get to keep him either. She is too irresponsible, and not fit for anything more complicated that a little turtle, and she would probably kill that too.
I understood that the victim’s daughter and granddaughter were at Kim’s also. So not only was this poor woman mauled by Kim’s dog, her child and grandchild were there, in danger and traumatized to see these horrific injuries. Then…. It happens to Kyle’s daughter and Kim trivializes that attack as well. Kim is too far gone or too damaged by either drugs or mental illness to see her own negligence. Kim appears livid with the poor victims. Kim needs to be held accountable and OWN it.
Yes. I’ve been wondering what, exactly, she was “angry” about in the quote leaked from the Dr. Phil show interview. I’m sure it was that the footage had actually aired of Kyle responding to her and giving the facts about Alexia’s injury.
I hope she wins the full amount and the dog is finally taken away from Kim. There comes a point when a person needs to be held accountable for their actions and Kim has reached it. There are no excuses for an attack like this. None.
Me too. This story has allways upset me. Im surprised the landlord wasnt sued too. If I were the landlord I would have made her get rid of the dog or move, after seeing the dangers from the show. Surely this womans attorneys didnt miss that one. See this is why I dont have much faith for Kim Richards to make a big turnaround, theres something really wrong with her and rather sinster. Why hang on to a dangerous dog and not care about others? Even a drunk and druggie has some heart and would be horrified and at least find someone to take Kingsley who is up for the job. This callous attitude cant just be addiction, can it?
Omg. That’s horrible! Poor woman. I would be traumatized too. I’m unclear about her statements though. She says she was on her back when paramedics arrived but then says she didn’t want to wait for the ambulance. Don’t paramedics come with an ambulance?
I thought the same thing but sometimes they arrive in those trucks and then call the ambulance.

I see. Maybe they came on a fire truck or something. I can’t believe she hasn’t done more to show this woman SOME concern. She’s only making things ten times harder on herself. Some ppl make life so difficult. Smh
Yes. In Los Angeles, when you call 911 for a medical emergency the firemen show up, followed by the ambulance, depending on the situation. At least that’s what’s happened every time I’ve called them, and from what I’ve observed.
Most regional 911 EMTs have MOU a/each other where they have a minimum of 2 responders per emergency request. My community has EMTs, plus FD medical crews for as each contact with both being transporters too.
Also, I thought it was with Kim’s niece that she asked that not to call 911. It is my understanding that all medically treated animal bites must be reported. Follow up must have been done to ensure the dog’s vacinne schedule was current.
So, what happens when one of Kim’s beautiful daughters gets mauled? Will she let her lay in a puddle of blood and beg her not to call 911? Or, can you imagine the shitstorm if Kingsley sunk his teeth into Brandi Glanville? Of course, Brandi is made mostly of rubber anyway…
I can see Kim becoming estranged from her kids when they have children. Get rid of the dog or no grandbaby visits.
Kim should be prosecuted under criminal law, but I don’t know how that works. If Kingsley has to be put down for this it’s Kim’s fault.
Maybe Bravo will have a special called the “Red We!ing Edition”, where everyone at the wedding is aghast in horror, as Kingsley lovingly runs amuk tearing people to shreds, while ‘protecting’ Kim from those in attendance!
To quote Dr. Phil,” for every rat you see there is 15 you don’t see”. I would bet my last dollar that Kingsley has already bit one or more of Kim’s kids and she most likely made them feel responsible for him going after them. Just like the crap she pulled on Kimberly of making her anxious while Kimberly begs her mother to go into treatment at the Dr.Phil taping. Those poor kids need just as much counseling as she does. I am sure they have a very skewed sense of what normal is.
Why was this case in Federal court? It seems it should have been a state court action. It sounds like the plaintiff’s attorneys are playing hard ball for big bucks.
Wow…this woman is an old family friend of their MOTHER’S. I can’t believe Kim would treat her this way! Has she completely just given up and given in?
Wow, those injuries are awful. Something has to happen to Kim after this, either LONG term rehab (at least a year) or jail time. No wonder Kyle is so stressed with her. There is no telling how much drama she has put her family through that we don’t see. I want to feel sorry for her, but it’s hard because it seems like she doesn’t even try. And she’s got so many enablers around her, she doesn’t feel like she has to try to help herself, so it’s like a vicious circle that might end badly. I hope her friend will get better inside and out.
Summary judgments are always interesting. It appears in this case Kim clearly failed to do the right thing and follow the process. There is no excuse for that when I’m sure Kim has access to legal representation.
I have 4 rottweilers and a great dane. We trained our dogs properly and the only problem might be getting big sloppy kisses or crawling into your lap until I tell them down. However, if someone has a fear of animals, I put my dogs outside in the fence. If I had a dog that had shown any aggression, the dog would not be allowed around people. Kim may as well have an alligator for a pet. That’s what looks like attacked that poor lady. Then she pretends it never happens and doesn’t even pay the medical bills. If she doesn’t think about it, it will go away. She’s probably thinking the same thing about this arrest. I hope the judgment is signed and the lady gets justice and if Kim doesn’t show up for court they will issue a Failure to Appear warrant for her arrest. Life’s about to show up for real Kim, not just be a reality show.
Kim is running away from reality. Head in the sand, fingers in her ears. It’s all going to come crashing down soon.
To choose her dog (and a vicious dog at that) over her dear friends and family is pretty indicative of her mental state, I’d say.
Tamara’s right… She did nothing. Just put those papers in a drawer and pretended they didn’t exist.
Not even an apology. Wow…
OMG, those injuries are horrifying – especially knowing that poor lady’s age! And just think, even after this incident and the following one with Kyle’s daughter, Kim still had the audacity to say that talking about Kingsley (since he’s like her child) is off limits!! She is despicable.
“Lie until you die, deny, deny, deny.”
It’s worked for Kim for years. A culture of keeping things hidden, whether it’s for fame or addiction or keeping your family members under your thumb because you won’t acknowledge your culpability.
I’d bet a million bucks these pics are the first hard evidence Kyle has seen of how bad this was.
I agree. Kim is not going to share the extent of that poor ladies injuries with a current victim about a past victim inspite of Kyle being her sister. I know understand Kim’s piss and vinegar towards her sister at the reunion. Nothing shows guilt more than anger. Kyle should loose all feelings of allegiance to that woman, especially after trying to make it sound as if Alexia was responsible and having full knowledge of the extent of her friends injuries. Abominable!
Feel bad for Kingsley. Being around Kim in her high drugged out psychotic state leaves him hyper and over protective. He has no feeling of safety so he just attacks. I hope they grab him and rehouse him with someone who can care for him, an actual trainer not the guy from the show. If Michael Vicks dogs can be trained to be caring after being in a dog fighting ring so can Kingsley. But Kim cares about noting but getting high.
You are 100% correct.
My fear is if they (a new trainer / owner) isn’t found fast, Kingsley is going to take the fall for this. All for some twisted public idea of contrition.
Oh my Lord. Those pictures are awful and amazing. Geez Tamara, what defense could Kim even have? I am not surprised that she hasn’t responded to the suit yet. She survives with denial.
Oh my god. That poor women. Terrifying.
Those pictures are shocking. Kim should have paid her medical bills and given her a big, fat apology. How can she be so selfish and heartless? All she was thinking about was losing Kingsley. The unconditional love of that animal is more important to her than the health of family friends. Think about it… everyone around her has seen her at her worst and judges her (in her mind) except him. It was super shady on the reunion when Kim said that he was living with the trainer. Kyle knew the truth but was trying to protect her. I hope no one else gets attacked or Kyle will regret that one.
Two questions come to mind. 1. Does Kimmie Poo’s good friend visit her and does she bring her children? Since everything is sunshine and lollipops between the best buds and Kim can do no wrong, does Brandi trust the dog? I feel she must since in her eyes Kim is just dandy. And the second, how pathetic was it in the reunion that Kim implied she was keeping the dog around for the poor dying Monty? He’s just devastated, yeah, right, she’ll use anyone and any situation to explain away her horrible actions.
Not surprising that she didn’t respond – takes no responsibility, doesn’t make herself accountable for anything. It is interesting watching older clips of the show – how obvious her issues are, especially the Kyle/Kim dynamic.
Kim is jealous of what Kyle has – a happy family, a successful husband, a great life.
Yes and it’s near impossible to create in middle age what Kyle has now. It takes starting out young, years of trust and hard work put in over the years to achieve a proven and sucessful married life. Kim probably knows this on some level, and sees that going from man to man in seek of something, isn’t near as good as finding a suitable partner and giving it your all and reaping the rewards.And unfortunately Kim doesnt seem to make a good independent woman. So this is what makes her despise Kyle so much.
The fact that Little Miss Kim Richards can party and continue on with her life and fail to pay for the damages her dog inflicted shows what a piece of crap she really is. Her arrogance is monumental in just completely refusing to address the issue, like it’s going to go away or someone in her family is going to run interference for her and fix it Jesus.
She needs to get smacked with a million dollar fine and “see how she likes that!! Bet SHE WON’T LIKE THAT, WILL SHE?”
This is a reminder that dogs can be so dangerous. You can see the bone, and thats twice it happened. Kim should get jail time for this.
My heart goes out to that elderly family friend, those wounds were quite serious and IMO that poor lady deserves every dime the court awarded her. Kingsley was professionally trained several times but if the dog owner doesn’t follow through with the training then everything the trainer did was useless. When we watched a couple of the training sessions and IMO Kim had no intentions of following through because the dog was her “baby”. Dang the dog even attacked the trainer. Kim showed such a cavalier attitude about Kyle’s daughter that frankly I was shocked at Kim lack of caring about her own niece. Kim the queen of excuses tries to pass the blame on to the victims instead of taking responsibility that her dog is “dangerous”. How will Kim feel if Monty is attacked? Will she blame Monty too? Monty is too ill to defend himself. I pray for his safety. In my state the doge would have been labeled too dangerous after 2 attacks and would have been PTS. I was attacked viciously by 2 Chows when a neighbor came by to see if her daughter was there. Since that attack my fear of breeds with a history of unprovoked attacks scares me to death. I hope Kim gets sober and takes responsibility for her own screw ups including Kingsley.
Oh, I knew I was making a mistake reading this. That poor woman!
When I was 5, I was attacked by a huge Dalmation. He tried to chew my foot off, and nearly succeeded. I have been terrified of dogs, ALL dogs, ever since. All I see is teeth.
I hope the woman gets everything she is seeking. And, I pray she recovers from her injuries.
I was attacked by a Doberment. I was a kid, I was screaming and be attacked and the owners blamed me screaming.
This was the days when kids would walk a mile to school, the dog was loose.
So was this dog. And the attack was completely my fault. I was waiting outside at my neighbor’s house, while they finished dinner. The dog was eating a bone. Stupid me, I went to pet the cat nearby. I guess the dog thought I was going to take his bone. He latched onto my ankle, and shook.
And what did I do when he let go? I sat on my neighbor’s porch, bleeding. I was afraid to interrupt their dinner.
Me too, on the way back from school I took a shortcut and got bit in the butt by a Doberman. I almost made it over the fence. The owner blamed me and said she just had puppies.
Cat. Thanks for sharing your story about the dog attacking you as a kid. That was awful and I respect your sharing. I had a huge horse dog tried to attack me (like Marmaduke in the comics) when I was 8 yrs old. A stranger saw and opened his car door and screamed at me “RUN!” and jump in. Despite EVERYTHING my mom told me about strangers, I did just that. I barely escaped a mauling (inches). Then more terror set in. I was in a friggin’ car with a strange guy! Tense and ready to bail, I pointed to my school when he asked where can he drop me. Thankfully he was not a creep and let me off in front of my school. Where was the owner of the dog? Where was the leash? Irresponsible people, like Kim, roam around every day letting their “dog child” decide if they will attack or behave. I hate them. Thanks again for sharing.
Omg, Chay! No 9 year old should have to endure such trauma! Glad you made it through OK!
Amazing, isn’t it, how these childhood incidents help to produce strong women. I may be terrified of dogs, but in other ways, I fight to survive. I see that in others, too.
Oops. 8 year old.
Stephen King could have written Kim in a book. Glad you got away from the dog.
When I first read about this, I thought the press was just trying to promote RHBH, now, it pisses me off. It posses me off because Pit Bulls will get a bad rap. Kingsley is a very insecure dog and Kim enables the behavior, I saw on the facebook page of an animal trainer who supposedly worked with Kingsley say the same thing. He mentioned Kim would pet the dog when he would bark at people etc. What Kim was doing was enabling the dog and unknowingly re assuring him what he was doing was right.
When you have a dog that bites people like that, it’s usually a scared or insecure dog.
I read that Kay said while she was lying in a pool of blood Kim was on the floor playing with Kingsley. Kim is beyond my comprehension . She must be a complete false fake mask of a person.
Ya think Kim has just always gotten away with shit? Because I would be quaking in my freaking Volatile flip flops.
OMG that looks so painful, I feel so sorry for this woman!.. Kim is a piece of shit for telling her not to call 911 and sweeping it under the rug, only to turn around later and act like Kyles daughter was at fault for the dog biting her! UGH.. I can tell you, I got bit in the hand by a little bugger of a pomeranian (sp) years ago and that hurt like a MOTHER! and for days afterward.. I couldnt imagine what this woman went through by the looks of her pictures!
Regarding the landlord not being named in the lawsuit. It could be possible that the landlord’s insurance company already settled with Kay independently for a nominal amount. Since Kim probably did not respond to any pre-suit negotiations she went forward with filing an actual claim with the courts against Kim and any other liable party. It’s also possible that the lease agreement requires that Kim have her own renters insurance to cover guests/events on the property. With the show filming at the house that wouldn’t surprise me. Also, like someone mentioned earlier, the insurance may not cover a pittbull to begin with. Either way it’s not uncommon for a lawsuit to include an individual plus an insurance company. You want to include as many liable parties as possible.
Kim keeps going on these TV shows, why doesn’t she go on Cesar Millan’s show?
My mom is in her 70s. All I can think of is this being her. I’d want to tell Kim just what I think of her. The dog would be permanently removed and somewhere where it could never be around children or elderly adults again. I can see why she fears other dogs now and why she thought she was going to die! This is very serious! I hope she gets the full judgement and pray her mind and body heals soon!
Everyone keeps asking why the Landlord was not sued. I can not speak for California, but if it is like Ohio, the leased property, if a single family home, is considered to be under the sole and exclusive control of the tenant. And therefore what happens on the property is solely the responsibility of the tenant and the landlord not liable. If however, the property included a dog pen that was somehow faulty that allowed a penned dog to escape and attack a neighbor for instance, if the dog pen belonged to the landlord, then it would be possible to sue the landlord for negligence in the design/ maintenance of the dog pen. But in this circumstance, the landlord would have no liability in Ohio. California, or your state, may be different. AND the rules change if there is a shared area, like the lobby or elevator or shared hallway in an apartment house, where the attack takes place.
So a slip and fall wouldnt be covered by land lord either? Im just curious and im a landlord myself. What about if it was proven the landlord watched the show and saw Kingsley attack the trainer ?
Kim R. Is an unfeeling drunk. I don’t care if you all jump all over me but I grew up with unfeeling drunks for parents. Her and her “the world owes me” attitude makes me sick. I could tell she was drinking. After the years of watching her she is always mean and nasty when she’s hiding her booze or whatever she’s taking. Cares more about the dog then her niece. Gives a crap more for Brandi then her own sister. Accusing her sister of cheating her instead of realizing she was probability to drunk to remember. You officially make me sick Kim. Your just as nasty and slimy as Brandi now..congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I apologize my reply doesn’t seem to be going to whom I’m replying but here goes. I am just so disgusted with the fact that Kim’s lack of empathy for the victims of her dog is way past being blamed on her drinking. Even hard core people that have been on Dr. Phil have the grace to give and inch once in awhile. Kim feels entitled and has been under the Brandi Glanville school of influence that everyone picks on me and I’m not responsible for anything.
Brandi says don’t touch me all the time but she touches everyone else. Brandi says she doesn’t want her drinking brought out on TV because of her kids yet she outs everyone about pot. Then says “What did I do?” Now Kim is her robot. Just plain disgusted.
Kim does seem like shes under a spell from Brandi. She has become Brandi’s robot. I think Brandi eggs Kim on to let her meaness out and to be all stone cold killer. Kim is depressive and I think the excitement of this toxic relationship gives Kim a lift.
