Once again, I have to direct you all to TMZ. Because Kim Richards has given her first post rehab press to a TMZ paparazzi. YOU MUST GO WATCH. I’ll wait.
Okay, um. According to TMZ Kim has been in and out of three rehab type facilities since the incident at the Beverly Hotel back in April. She was kicked out of the first one after getting wasted in Mexico at the end of May. Later she went to a new facility, which was not up to her diva standards and she switched to another one. Then recently while all the rest of the family was having tea with the queen of England or whatever, she allegedly left the last one under cover of darkness. Does that sound sober to you?
Which brings us to this “accidental” papping on the mean streets of Beverly last night. Kim flashes a big smile and says her sobriety is going great! Who is the guy with the fancy car who is enabling Kim now? Why isn’t she with Monty who is apparently not doing so well again? Surely some of you LA people have a guess as to who this guy is? Kim seems sort of lost. The Asian family taking photos was an unexpected treat. But where did the man go to get the car? I guess it was valeted somewhere. He seemed a bit um… overly kind.
I don’t even know what to make of this. What do you think?
She needs to get her shit in one sock, seriously!
Tee Tee, I believe it was 1 pillow.
When ever Kim uses the two words “Her Sobriety”, I know that stands for I am using/drinking and thanks for asking.
Her agent? Her sober coach? An “escort”?
The face grabbing thing was kind of creepy. Also something you might do to a tipsy person to make sure they heard you. Allegedly.
Time will tell, I guess.
Like shooting fish in a barrel. I co
Well, she looked good to me, but I’m no fan of her. I suppose she will relapse.
what a joke-she’s been sober for years, ya’ll. This sobriety is nothing new, just ask Brandi,
This Coochie is nothing new, just ask Brandi.
Like shooting fish in a barrel. I could smell the booze thru my screen.
I absolutely agree. She seems just as loopy as she always does and she was a little too pleased to be papped and take photos with that woman at the end of the night. What a joke. She was there to be seen.
The rehab “shopping” doesn’t sound good to me. She looked good. I hope she’s “loving sobriety”. I just have a hard time believing anything she says. There’s an old song that asks, “How can you believe me when I say I love you when you know I’ve been a liar all my life.”
She will be sober for a while, but it won’t last. I hope that isn’t true, but I think it will be. I mean, she was huffing paint. She is pretty far down the road with drugs and alcohol addiction. I personally think she should have been baker-acted.
Unlike her counter part BG, kim seems able to get into a car under her own power and refrained from throwing West Side gang arms. My bet, sober-ish companion? Her dealer? TMZ staffer? Serial killer? Turtle refuge manager?
My Sobriety LOL, code for yes I’m high.
Turtle refuge manager. lol
I truly wish the best for Kim, mostly that we are not reading about her in another sort of way. Honestly to me she appeared to be under the influence of something. I know some psychotropic meds can have an “upper” effect on some people. Absolutely zero attention span whatsoever. Seemed scripted in a way that screams “I know how to thank my adoring public with the accepted and memorized responses”. Sheesh. Guy was creepy.
And I will always continue to pray for her. Her issues are too deeply ingrained to be dealt with in just 30 days.
I agree that she looked ‘under the influence’. Her eyes always give her away. It is like her eyes are glassed over and she just doesn’t look great. It’s very distracting to me the way she cant look at someone for too long. She constantly looks away.
I especially feel for her children as they are watching the mother they love get sicker and sicker. Its awful for family members to watch someone they love battle addiction. Just the fact that she can’t and doesn’t stay in a rehab center for more than 2 weeks at a time should be enough for the Judge (in her recent case/arrest) to sentence her to rehab. She is obviously not going to stay in a rehab center for too long unless forced to.
She didn’t look sober at all. And after reading about the countless short stints in rehab, she’s got a long way to go. I have to say, though, Kim always seems to looks great — even if she’s totally stoned. Is it just because she’s built such a tolerance to a constant state of mind alteration that it’s become her “normal” condition?
The Thirty Mile Zoners are certainly earning their nickels this week! Busy Busy Busy…
To be clear, Kim is not currently in Rehab. And from the sound of things she left against doctors orders because she didn’t like the staff. At any of the three fancy rehabs.

Of course she will find something wrong with these rehab centers. She probably arrives at these places expecting ‘star’ treatment, or rather demanding it! She has money at her disposal to go to these high class facilities and yet they still aren’t good enough for her. When will she find one that is? They probably try to accommodate her for a brief moment and then finally nicely let her know that she will get no special treatment and will be expected to follow the rules that everyone else has to follow. This is about the time she starts fighting the system…and then leaves proclaiming to the world that she is “sober”! Its sad…but for some reason I do not feel sorry for her.
How convenient all the staffers were big meanies!
Are you kidding me? Kim could go to 75 different rehabs and never find one she likes because they don’t have open bars and bowls of pills sitting on dining room tables with a signs that say grab a handful. Gourmet chefs, spa treatments and makeup and hair stylists would be a plus. If she could come and go as she pleased and check in so she could Instagram pictures proving she is still in rehab, she’d stay forever.
Why does her voice always make me anxious? I hate the shakiness.
I don’t believe Kim wants to be sober. She likes the high feeling she gets from drinking, drugs and what ever. Eventually everyone is just going to say who cares. As another old saying goes ” you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him or her drink ” no pun intended. She’s like a little kid that thinks is cute to be bad. Kim acts like a little girl when she gets caught in these messes, but she should look in the mirror, it is all catching up to her.
All the booz and drugs have left their mark on her and it really shows.
The way he touched her face and seemed protective makes me guess he is her boyfriend or lover. Maybe she met him in rehab which is why she wanted to leave so quickly. Otherwise why hightail it out of there in the middle of the night under the cover of darkness? Maybe they didnt want to be seperated?
Kim has always struck me as having Prince Charming syndrome and looking for a man to save her. Hoping her sobriety sticks and this guy is better than the last weirdo she was dating!
Demeanor is everything. Remember when Andy interviewed her. Her responses were thought out, reserved. Pic got the sense she was using courage, and answering via the one day at a time ideal. Juxtapose that with the TMZ footage TT presented us with. Sorry. She hasn’t come down.
I want to say she looked great but I think she was acting. TMZ blindsided her as she left the restaurant.
Isn’t it rude to ask someone how their sobriety is going?
I wouldn’t think so when you are paid to show your alcoholic/drug issues on TV. That is a buzz kill for anonymity.
Yeah, I guess it isn’t the same for her as it would be for others.:) She has no anonymity.
Sharknado is on SyFy y’all
Isn’t it rude to ask someone how her Coochie is going? Not when she’s all up in Bravo and TMZ talking about her Coochie.
Good for Kim, going to dinner with a friend.
Her children are grown, she us OFF my tv and someone will pay her bills, State of Calli won’t be supporting her.
If she wants to get wasted on booze or drugs, enjoy yourself kim.
She has been given opportunities to live a fine life and she chooses addiction.
As long as she doesn’t drive I don’t care.
This comment was meant to be snarky.
It came across as snarky, that’s why I love this website, I’ve been reading but never posted until now! Kim is a disaster, as long as she doesn’t drive!!!
My comment was wrong I’m sorry, I meant to say Kim is a disaster, I hope she doesn’t drive!!!
Why does she even talk about it? Because even negative attention is good attention, in housewifelandia? I hate this for her family, and for her, too.
Baby voice Kim is an under the influence Kim.
I agree, so is cutsey Kim
Kim seemed stoned in that video; her speech was a bit slurred. I was unnerved by the tourists – it made me uncomfortable to see the woman walk up and put her arm around Kim without (as far as I could tell) asking permission – I had a knee-jerk “don’t touch me” reaction to it.
@beth, I had a different reaction to woman putting her arm around Kim, it looked protective to me. It was as if she was pulling Kim away from the cameras. She patted Kim in a reassuring manner.
I don’t know squat either!
I think the tourist was trying to help Kim too. As Kim walked away the woman said, “we were sitting next to you” in the restaurant.
@calipatti, @Dee,
My reaction had more to do with the ease with which the woman guided Kim away, more than to whether or not that particular woman meant any harm.
So you didn’t hear the woman very politely ask, explain she was at the next table during dinner and graciously thanking her afterward while Kim loved every minute of it?

yes, I heard.
I think Kim was looking for her man and a way to get away from the camera. The tourist asking if she could take a picture was the perfect out. Her man appeared to go down to a street vendor while they were waiting for the valet to bring the car. I think she “acted” convincing for someone blindsided coming out of a restaurant. I don’t know that I would have been that nice. I guess she could have seen them from inside the restaurant
I am going to start substituting “Coochie” every time I hear “sobriety.”
How’s your Coochie? “My Coochie is going great!”
You lookin’ good. “I’m lovin’ my Coochie!”
Omgoodness! Too funny! I may copy you:( I hate it when I can’t be original.
Kim brings back my vertigo. I don’t like watching her. I do like the idea of trading coochie for sobriety, thanks Lizbeth!
I think it’s more fitting to exchange “sobriety” with “high” in this case. “Kim, how’s your high?” Response: “My high is going great!”
I’ll stick with “Coochie.” Every time I hear “My Sobriety” from Kim, I think, “Sobriety, my ass!”
I feel like she didn’t want to be seen with the man she was with. She seemed a little shocked to see the cameras there. I thought the lady said good luck with her show? The guy told the camera man to be a gentleman, I think. Right when they walked out and she was asked about her sobriety it seemed to piss him off.
I don’t know if she is messed up, but I agree with TT. Why isn’t she with her buddy Monty??
“Right when they walked out, and she was asked about her Coochie, it seemed to piss him off.”
This guy is Elliot Mintz and he hangs out with both Kim, Kyle and Faye Resnick a lot. I think with Hiltons also. He’s 100% gay and I guess we fan call him family-friend. I’m surprised noone here has recognised him…
Thanks Lemon, I am sorry this comment was delayed. I was trying to check the guy out. He is 70 years old and apparently Kim’s new gay best friend. He is a former radio host turned publicist who used to represent Paris and made an appearance on her show, The Simple Life.
(I’m sure Lemon knew all of this, I am posting the info for the rest of us. 🙂
Thank you! Interesting!!
My computer is having fits and won’t let me watch the video. (which shows it’s smarter than me and knows going to the TMZ site is a sign of End Times.)
So I had to rely on googling Elliot Mintz and wow, there are some damn funny pics of him. Nothing like self tanner run amok.
It wasn’t working for me either so I had to watch it on Youtube. It wasn’t worth the effort for Kim alone but the creepy guy is a sight worth seeing. I’m not convinced it was Mintz but will defer to the experts… >
I’m not convinced it is Mintz either, but I was inundated with emails of people saying it was. Y’all know I have ZERO facial recognition skills.

That’s ok:) glad I could help. There is an old Youtube video from rhobh premiere party where Taylor/Shana is completely drunk and Kim as well and Elliot is there , so we can compare the guy.
you can only give an addict so many tries. Kim has used hers up and sadly her next step is death, I just don’t see another path for her. RIP.
Whoa there!!…..a little early with the RIPs dontcha think??
There is always hope and I am holding out hope for Kim. I find her exasperating and annoying but at the same time I find her so sadly pathetic. For her, and her kids, I really hope this works.
Let’s not bury her yet.
She didn’t appear sober to me. The guy she was with only interrupted when she was asked about her sobriety, and she looked away both times she answered. I hope she is though!
Sobriety. The name of Brandi’s next white wine.
Thanks, Maisey. You made me drop my mater sammitch
So here is the reason Monty took down the kissing picture and has stopped ranting on about Kim and her Oscar winning future. Kim found a new sucker and left dying Monty in the dust. No more cameras to put a show on for. Typical addict. Oh well…Monty is probably better off.
At least he’ll have more meds for his cancer, not having to share with her and all.
What a mess. I don’t see this ending well. Very sad.
TT…..her grabbing face male friend is Wynn Katz designer?
I was just thinking back to the reunion where Kim was screaming at Rinna for having the audacity to question her “sobriety” which was supposedly so easy and great. The amount of sanctimonious and smug BS that Kim spewed at the reunion was truly just unbelievable. I keep thinking of that whenever she says everything is just peachy. That and also the fact that Karma truly is a beyotch.
I can’t believe Rinna had “…the audacity to question her “Coochie” which was supposedly so easy and great.” I promise I’ll stop.
