Kim Richards spent her 4th of July with Monty Brinson and his ex-wife and his daughter! Which is lovely news on the surface; however, it does make me wonder what is going on with Kim’s rehab and if there was someone with her.
montybrinson First of all Happy 4th of July to everyone, wishing everyone a beautiful evening. As for myself I couldn’t have had a better 4th of July with both my ex’s @kimrichards11 @terrilynndoss and my my daughter @madelynbxo love to everyone and happiness #holiday #family #love #friends #rhobh #life #blessed #feeling-great
I thought the #rhobh was weird. Is it just me? Why are three of the four of them wearing long sleeves in July in California?
I’ve looked around trying to find out the specific kind of cancer that Monty has and only one site has discussed a specific location for the cancer (lung) and I don’t believe much of anything they say. Also, Monty has said before that he doesn’t feel sick and would not know he had cancer if the doctors weren’t telling him. I don’t know that I believe Monty either as he seems to be…confused…or quite medicated. 
This photo is from five days ago. I realize the rehab is in Malibu, but after a relapse on her last supervised trip away, I’d be surprised if she was able to visit Monty for extended periods of time. I am starting to wonder if she is even still in rehab. She looks a LOT better in this photo than she does in the one above which is five days later.

montybrinson A beautiful day with @kimrichards11 on this summer day. I’m so proud of you for all your strength and determination. Everyone in your family is so proud of yourself, you’re proving everyone wrong and when everyone sees you they will see the beauty inside and out that you poses. You’re a fighter and you stay on this path and live a healthy clean life and find the happiness you deserve. Love you

I don’t know that I believe Monty either as he seems to be…confused…or quite medicated. Also if you look closely at this picture there is a lighter there. Surely, Kim would not smoke around a lung cancer patient. A lung cancer patient would not be smoking medical marijuana either. Sure maybe they lit a citronella candle for the yard. But… I’m just pointing out what I see.
I’m also trying to figure out what kind of stage 4 cancer you have where you feel fine. I suppose it is possible and my experience with cancer is fairly limited.
This whole situation is a little odd.
They are so weird. So many things. Weird. Off. Odd. Doesn’t make sense. Too hard to think about.
So odd Kim is wearing a turtle neck? Could they some place else. I had a friend with this type of cancer, sent to his brain, he couldn’t walk. He died within a year of diagnosis. We are all different, he does look thinner so I could see where he might be cold.
Autocorrect messed this up, sorry.
Your friend had the kind of cancer that has never been mentioned anywhere by anyone? #bloodclotflashbacks

My friend was diagnosed with lung cancer. He agreed to let them remove his lung as long as the cancer had not metastized. His lung was removed. Within months he fell, it was in his brain. He was placed in hospice where he died. It was less than a year. He didn’t treat it. Sorry, just trying to get it right. He was sick the entire time, out of his mind the last month. I think I see what you mean. Now I am wondering what is really going on
Cancer is a weird animal. Like some kind of alien species. It affects everyone differently. And you can’t really lump them into categories. Each cancer is different for each person. Weird stuff.
I was wondering the same thing about their clothes. Its hot as hell in NC! They look like they are dressed for Sept!
How can she be having so many visitors? Or maybe it wasn’t taken at the center (esp the one with the other x) If she is in rehab their rules are very lenient, which scares me for her.
I thought MAYBE the first one could have been at rehab, but after the second one, I doubt it. No way the other wife and her kid decided to spend the holiday at rehab.

It’s been 70-ish degrees lately in L.A. County by the coast. I live more south. Malibu is about 1-1.5 hours north of where I live. It’s even “colder” up there. To someone born and raised in L.A. 73 degrees is cool. 60 degrees is a nightmare. If I have to wear shoes, or socks!, then fuck the whole wide world! September and October are the hottest months here. It’s called Indian Summer.
Note: Compare Monty to Brooks. Both have pretty bad cancer. Vast difference in physical presentation and behavior. I’ve been side-eyeing Monty since day 1. Something in the buttermilk ain’t clean. WTF is going on? Only the good Lord knows.
If it’s that temp, I can see the long sleeves. Californians, at least in my experience, break out the winter garb when it’s a balmy 60 degrees.
And agree, TT: no way that gang is together at rehab.
I don’t know where that photo was taken, but it can be very chilly in the Oakland/San Francisco area during the summer. When I was six years old, we moved from Florida to Hawaii and spent about a week in Oakland while waiting to depart on a cruise ship (paid for by the Air Force). It was June, and it was COLD!
I had a client who had cancer, she was very thin naturally and noticed these bumps the size of ping pong balls pop up on her trunk. Her back and chest were covered in them. She went to the doctor who sent her immediately to an oncologist, she had cancer and could not tell what kind as it had gone everywhere and the bumps were all tumors. She never looked sick, acted sick nor felt sick and she was dead in 2 and a half weeks form the time she passed. It was the craziest thing. Another client had stage 3 lung cancer and she never felt or looked sick until treatment began, and i have heard that can be the case with lung cancer. I am no expert, just a hairdresser bu I have seen just those 2 oddly well feeling and looking cases. The rest all were sickly and then diagnosed
Same with my Aunt with the lung cancer. She was tired and she opted out of treatment. She never looked truly bad and never felt truly bad as in vomiting etc. But I do think he had treatment so……this is very strange.
Monty posted on Instagram back in January? or so that his treatment was working great UNTIL they found out it spread. Which ERGO! It wasn’t working great. Since it had metastasized they told him that there was nothing else that they could do and stopped treatments. That was when the wedding was moved up.
For the record, I am not saying he doesn’t have cancer for those who seemed to interpret it that way, I am just confused if he has lung, brain and spine cancer how he feel so “great” all the time. I don’t feel great and I am perfectly healthy (physically anyway 🙂 ) I hope he has a nice long life. I really do.
But I am confused about Kim being out of rehab already and back around all the cancer drugs.

TT I hope you don’t mean me. I’ve read comments on here from people who have cancer or have family members with it and really don’t want to bring any of them down. If you look on message boards online even there are many people living longer than their given time frame. And many beat the odds. I wish cancer wasn’t looked at as a death sentence is all.
Yup, I don’t think you can feel cancer. A friend’s mom was diagnosed w/ stage 4 lung cancer last summer but only b/c she fell, hit her head, and happened to be in the hospital for x-rays when they saw it. Turns out that they had seen it on a scan 5 yrs prior when it was still phase 1 & she was in the hospital for a broken something or other, but never mentioned it to her. Needless to say, they are suing the pants off that hospital. Her cancer has stabilized – still there but not spreading & aside from hair loss, she still looks & feels great – thank God! Such a scary illness :/
Depends on the time of day the pix was taken if they’re in LA for the holiday. The last few days have been cool in the morning til the marine layer burns off. It was definitely on the cool side here in Huntington Beach in the am. Allot of the SoCal Natives lose their mind and think they’re freezing if it gets in the 60’s. Lose their mind as in wearing winter coats and turtlenecks. Being originally a Yankee from Jersey (been here since the 80s.. Cause well…the weather is great and I’m not related to anyone here) I still just want to scream at these people that It’s not that damn cold!!! Bunch o’wusses. Alternatively they could be up in the mountains in Big Bear or Arrowhead, hard to tell from the pix but it does look a bit hilly.
I live in hb too. Yes by the coast is cooler than inland. Temp spread can be 20-30 degrees
Hi MM!
Shoot. I just wrote something similar up above. Should’ve scrolled down. Huntington Beach is a lovely beach town. Chock full of surfing folk. Love it!
I only know the weather in Santa Barbara which is about an hour north of Malibu and it’s been in the low 70’s. I wear long sleeves in the low 70’s but no jacket.
I know a husband and wife that are both dying of cancer. What’s more is the husband has diabetes as well. You see this guy hooked up to an oxygen tank smoking a cigarette! Everytime I see it I’m like WTF? The wife has stage 4 and the only way you can tell she’s sick is because of her head scarves. The rest of her looks completely healthy. She also smokes nonstop. It’s insane. I always have to ask about it cuz I can’t believe that either of them is stage 4.
if they are dying, why not smoke ?
When the Zombie apocalypse comes, the first thing I’m doing is running out to get a pack of smokes. I’ve already warned my friends to not count on any help from me. I have an agenda. >
@The Lady Cocotte LOL
That’s what I say. When I get a fatal diagnosis, Imma be a coke head. Even though I have not the slightest idea where to get coke anymore. It’s been 25 years since I knew that sort of thing. But I’d damn sure try to figure it out!

The last time I bought coke was about 20 years ago from an Hispanic drag queen who’s MO was to “drop” the bag, take your 20, and then say in broken English “Unda foot! Unda foot!” causing one to drop to their knees in a bar and look for their baggie on the ground.
God those were the days. I hate being old.

I have a friend who’s been dealing with lung cancer for years. She has treatment, it goes into remission. Through the years, she has never stopped smoking. She has emphysema, too.
Her daughter was recently diagnosed with stage 4 breast, brain and liver cancer. She is about at the end of treatment. Looks good for her. She may also be in remission.
It all depends on the person. For some, it takes over quickly. For others, they show no signs for years.
Attitude DOES make a difference.
As far as location, I am guessing they went to her spa…I mean rehab center. It gets chilly pretty fast by the ocean here.
My father died of a brain tumor that originated from lung cancer–he was a pipe smoker. He was dead 6 weeks after diagnosis. Monty living this long is just weird–I know that sounds harsh, but that kind of cancer kills people pretty fast. I thought he was going down fast just a couple of weeks ago.
These people give me vertigo.
Lisa I am really sorry, my friend seemed to go so quickly. He was like a father to me. Again really sorry.
I am allegedly having a problem finding anyone, beside Kim/Monty who states he has cancer.
@lisamia Exactemundo! I’ve read that if chemo and whatever other kind of therapy go very, very well, you might have a 5 year survival rate. But that’s for very lucky patients if all of the treatments go perfectly. Otherwise, no. Lung cancer is such a sneaky disease that the patient might not present with any symptoms until they’re basically at death’s door. Their stories just don’t add up!
My mother had lung cancer. She was treating for thyroid cancer when it was found. She lived 15 years after the diagnosis and was never really sick. She chose not to treat it and it did eventually take her life, but up until about 6 months before her death you never would have guessed she was sick.
Monty and Kim are hard people to figure out. I really think that about 50% of what they say is the truth and the rest is craziness and hazy memories. I work in assisted living for many years right out of high school and have seen people go from healthy to super sick really fast and others stay relatively healthy right until the end. I’ve also seen others who have beat really daunting odds. It really depends on the type of treatment, if any, and the way a persons body responds to it. The only thing I’ve learned for sure is that cancer fucking sucks.
The other, other ex wife looks pretty, with all his women (Including this daughter, and the one with Kim)it seems Kim is not his caregiver at all but a friend he was married to in his youth.
Both Kim & Monty look so much better in the earlier photo. Its pretty weird that it was only taken 5 days before the other. It might be the lighting, angle, etc or it might be lies. I just don’t trust these two with the truth. Hashtag rhobh.
Or it could be five days of both of the #feeling-great

Yep…could be. Looking at Kim, she does look rough 5 days after the first pic. Like you I am now looking for info
Except, I don’t need you to “look for info” or announce it here. Commenting Rule #10 I think…

Gah, I hope not!
I have a high school friend that lives in Beverly Hills. She posts LOTS of photos of herself (including hanging out in Kyle’s store) and her 4th of July pic was in a jacket in Malibu. Apparently it has been a bit chilly there lately, so seeing Kim’s crew in long sleeves did not surprise me.
Kim said on the show that Monty’s cancer is no longer just lung and it has metastasized to his brain and bone (which is very typical for lung cancer). People with Cancer can live for a long time especially if they have a slow growing cancer and the cancer burden is not much, like one lesion in the brain and one lesion at the spine, etc…. Also he might still be receiving palliative chemotherapy that attacks only cancer cells and not the rest of his body cells thus less side effects.
My guess is Kim is out of rehab. Several news outlets claimed she went late May so she probably completed 30 days. Inpatient rehab can only do so much, I hope they link her up with an outpatient program so can continue to work on her sobriety.
Ugh, I made it 5 months without breaking the rules. I’m really sorry.
You are fine Dee. It just works better for me if you comment on what I write and not try to be the blogger. This is not a message board. It’s a website.

The #rhobh is weird. I can’t see Ken Todd using #rhobh and he is a well-loved and main participant. I guess ol’ Monte has seen himself on tv and he likes what he sees.
He’s probably trying to help Kim get her job back. Monty was a big part of her storyline last season. He was her excuse for EVERYTHING!
Terri Lynn lives in Malibu – where it was only in the 60’s yesterday. Possibly she had Monty over, and drove him to see Kim. He is definitely looking more frail.
Im in LA. It’s been hot. Yesterday, however, it was breezy and a bit chilly. For the fire works we were in sweaters. Mind you, we were still in shorts and sandals but wearing a sweater. We had to stay completely submerged in the pool in order for the air not to hit us during the afternoon. Weird day.
-If that’s any insight to their attire.
As a Californian, I don’t see anything strange with their attire. It may be summer but it does get chilly.
Thank you. I think, because we are so hot here on the East Coast we assume others are in the same position. Our humidity is 70 to 80%. Thanks again 🙂
Ooooh! Lord! I can take the heat, but I can’t DEAL with that humidity. That shit fucking kills me. That’s why the desert is preferable. Nice, dry heat. But you dehydrate in a second!
@Jarlath Totally. Californians are a bit weird about the way we dress. We don’t like confining clothes or shoes, never mind the temperature. My body and my feets needs to feel free.
I want to know who’s blue lighter that is laying on the ground in the second picture….. My guess, old pics?
I wouldn’t put it past them to use old pics. They’re both loco in the coco.
Just spent a week in Bodega Bay and froze my ass off. I needed more than a turtle neck.
One year I was in Monterey, brought all summer clothes, froze my butt off, wore every layer I had :). I thought July would be warmer
Monterey & Bodega Bay weather can’t be compared to Southern California. Neither can Oakland or San Francisco. Central & Northern California coastal areas are notoriously chilly, especially in the summer. One of Mark Twain’s most famous quotes is: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” He did’t actually say it but it’s still very true. >
Prob a dumb Q- but here goes:
The lighter. Can users get high with whatever is inside bic lighters?
They may be wearing long selves in July to cover track marks. When you think about who we’re talking about, it isn’t that far fetched.
My Aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer 4 years ago, they gave her 6 months to live, with treatment. She is still here, physically. Mentally that is another story. Ive lost multiple family members to cancer, different kinds. Each persons journey is very different.
I agree! Some people are told months and they live for years. I’ve had three close family members get diagnosed with cancer, two of them survived and are cancer free. I don’t like when people throw scary statistics around.
This is from Kim’s blog from December 2014, thanks for the link, Sasha!
“Brooke and Thayer originally were to get married early next year– a destination wedding on the beach. Brooke’s dad/my best friend Monty wasn’t feeling so good. He went in for a check up. He said it would be a few hours, but as I dropped him off and drove away, I got a horrible feeling. I turned the car around and headed back the doctor. He called me just a few minutes later and told me he had lung cancer. I said I knew that something wasn’t right and that I was already there! The words you never want to hear! And the thought of telling our daughter! Over that week we decided to have a wedding with just our immediate family, so that we could be sure that Monty would be able to walk Brooke down the aisle. It is something every little girl and every father dreams of! I was going to make sure that happened!
The day Brooke was trying on dresses we found out that the cancer was also in his brain and spine! Brooke wanted to continue with looking for a dress. It was the best thing for us to do. One of the most important things I needed to remember was yes, Monty was sick, but our girl was getting married! And if Montys going to get well, we must be positive! We were and are very positive and hopeful that Monty will be here a long time. Sometimes yes, it is scary and hard, but we are very supportive of Monty and each other through this time!”
Monty is saying he has a couple of weeks left to live. Maybe Kim is out to spend his last days with him making him “comfortable “
The thing about Monty is i cant find out anything about his past ie whos his daddy who left him a fortune? Or where was he born? Nothing except the generic stuff we already know. Its just puzzling to me as ive searched for info. TT do you know what supermarket he was heir to?
Why does this come back up with every Kim post? What is it about Kim that causes all of you to recite from THE BOOK and do all these individual investigations?

He obviously has money and a close relationship to Kim according to Instagram. What I find more interesting from his old pics is he used to post with Kyle using #rhobh but never Kim’s BFF Brandi.
I was not refering to the “book”, im just wondering WHERE Montys money came from. I find it strange their is nothing on wikipedia or anywhere else about his background. Ive never refered to the banned book because ive not read even an excerpt.
To fill in the blanks is why i searched as its never been explained. Put me in the WLS, youre the driver, 🙂 hugs TT
These people are so fucking weird. “You’re proving everyone wrong”? Uh, ok. Excellent thing to be concerned with when trying to get clean.
If you post here there is a request in HUGE LETTERS to read the commenting rules before posting. So if you start your post with “I am not sure if it is okay to post this here,” THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE POSTING HERE.
Goddamn I forgot how much I hate the idiots in the Kim Richards posts.
TT, thanks much for posting these pix and comments today. It does read as if she has left rehab and she looks much worse in the second picture.
And it makes no sense for her to leave rehab just to be with him to die- how could that not be a HUGE trigger for Kim? It continues to appear that Kim’s family and friends allow her moods to control her behavior and treatment, and the attorneys have her get back in rehab just in time for the next court date.
After last month’s court date, when they moved her to a new facility that day, I would have expected them to prevail and keep her in rehab for one full thirty- sixty day period, as they said at the time. But that doesn’t appear to be the case. Kim can’t get clean this way, that’s for sure!
If your along the California coast it gets chilly as the sun goes down.
I know money changes the rules but isn’t the nice green lawn odd if it is Malibu, due to the drought and water restrictions.
As a stage 3 cancer survivor, here’s my two cents … Cancer is a very individual and personal journey. We are all wired differently and there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to treatment and its side effects. There are hundreds of chemo concoctions for most, if not all of the varying types of cancer and some are much stronger than others causing hair loss, etc. Everyone’s treatment is designed specifically for that person. I hope Monty is able to take as much time for him as he needs and hopefully isn’t in too much pain.
Parent diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer that had moved to brain , bones, and spine. No Chemo. Radiation treatments for a bit to the brain. Doctor predicted at the beginning 4 months. Died almost to the day of that time line.
I don’t judge but I do say I find the story hard to believe. . Everyone reacts differently to the C word but still..the Doctor knew the timeline on my parent.
My brother-in-law has lung cancer. they found it about 6 months ago. he was trying holistic medicine, but the holistic Dr. even told him to get to an MD when he realized my BIL wasn’t improving. all the months at the holistic Dr’s office, all he heard from other patients was how awful chemo and radiation were, and how they were so glad they found this dr. (he was doing a thing called chelation, so you have to visit the office weekly – you can google it). Because he’s scared of the damage/pain caused by chemo, my BIL is refusing any treatment, and won’t even get the tumor removed. I guess you have to have radiation even if they remove the tumor. I’m told his tumor did not metastasize, but not sure if that could change. his main symptoms are/were extreme swelling in his legs that is so painful he can barely walk. i’m sure he has chest pain also. he takes morphine for pain. the drs. have also diagnosed him with COPD and congestive heart failure, which may have caused the leg swelling. but the leg swelling is what got him to the Dr. where the holistic Dr. diagnosed lung cancer. My BIL is pretty much bedridden at home and his muscles have atrophied in the past 6 months and has gone from about 225+ lbs to 175. He’s about 6’4″ and large-boned, so he is pretty skinny now. i’ve read that it usually takes 6 mos to 1 year for lung cancer to kill you. he has 4 grandchildren, and one was just born a few months ago. last week, the kids flew the baby out to see him before he passes even though they hated to bring the baby on a plane (LA -> Houston). it is really sad.
Sending positive thoughts and virtual hugs, Pattyloo. As my partner has stated so eloquently, let’s kick cancer in the cooch! (she’s classy that way.)
Good Lord! I’m so sorry he is in so much pain. But I respect his choice.
Thank You both. I appreciate your kind words.
