Kim Richards Says Her Psychiatrist and Her Life Coach Told Her She Did Not Need Rehab

July 25, 2015 by tamaratattles 141 Comments

On today’s Entertainment Tonight, Kim says her psychiatrist and her life coach told her she didn’t need rehab. Well that is a lie. Any  psychiatrist would said that would lose their license. She also said that when Brooke called to ask her if she got arrested she said, “I’m just glad you are okay, Mommy.” I’d say that is a lie as well.  Wait to you hear about her list of support people, a meditation girls, and acupuncture girl, the girl that brings me my special vitamins… lRHOBH Kim Monty ET

I don’t know what she thinks she is accomplishing by giving these interviews when she knows she is high. Sadly, I am sure Monty who was there with her told her she did a fabulous job.  This is what he wrote next to the instagram photo with Kim, the ET interviewer and himself,”montybrinson  she’s going to be doing movies now not reality. That’s what’s she’s been doing all her life. I agree about reality shows. It was just a job for her that’s why she did it. You’ll see this year what she has lined up this year. ” This was moments after Kim told the interview that Bravo had asked her back.

I just don’t get it.

Off Topic: Adreinne Maloof showed up at the Sharknado event as well.

    Oh please. The ET host had nerve to intro the interview by calling it “candid”. Major eyeroll. I was DYING when Kim was listing off all the members of her “team”. Lol I’m sorry…

    again, I have to say, RIP. I know someone disagreed with that final kind of statement but where else is Kim headed? She is already messed up from decades (decades) of drugs and alcohol so the damage is done.

    I don’t want to be right about this but where else do you see this going?

    Yep maybe someone told her she doesn’t need rehab because there’s no hope left. She is in such strong denial and it’s so sad to watch. And I think it’s a hopeless case, I had such moment with a very close person from my family and I had to give up, there’s no hope, only thing to accept and start thinking about myself. It’s last month thing so it’s very fresh and both uneasy to watch Kim but than it’s also easier to understand this whole mess.

    I’m betting her psychiatrist and her life coach told her she needs “detox” before even considering “rehab.” I doubt Kim has actually detoxed in of these spa/daycare facilities while she was “taking a break.”

        I don’t know everything she takes — we’ve heard pills, pot, huffing, in addition to the “little” pours of vodka and “maybe” margaritas — but I agree that someone like Kim needs intense, hospitalized and supervised detox. But only once SHE wants to be sober and that hasn’t happened yet. From personal experience with a family member: after countless rehabs in numerous facilities, the time that finally worked was when SHE drove herself to the hospital emergency room and asked for help.

    It sounds to me that someone maybe Monty wrote a script, both questions and answers for Kim’s Entertainment Tonight interview. It included the statement that her psychiatrist, life coach, acupuncture girls, meditation girls, chef, maid and a partridge in a pear tree all think she doesn’t need to go through rehab. Really? Being high, long term alcohol/drug abuse and short term memory loss are responsible for her inability to answer these prearranged softball questions allegedly. That’s why she falters and takes so long answering the questions because she is trying to recalled the memorized correct answer and it wasn’t easy. Notice how she looks up. It’s an indication that she is trying to remember something lol. If this performance is an example of Kim’s acting skills, she better call in some favors at Fat Burger. She might be able to remember to take the fries out. They usually have a buzzer when they are done.

      You nailed it Hannah. That is why she takes so long to answer…like you said, she is trying to remember the correct PR response. No Bravo paycheck means no income so she is doing damage control to get work in films. Films?! OMG. Focus on getting better Kim.

      Kim should have added a PR person to the team since it looks like Monty is doing the job and doing it badly. I know he means well but contrition works better than a truckload of bullshit on the comeback tour.

      She seems wasted to me in this interview. She says “I love my sobriety” with less enthusiasm than she says I love Kingsley. I was really hoping that she would have gained some during this time in her three rahab stints. First, let’s get real. Do you think for one second, that Kathy Hilton is going to let her be on the same continent as Nicky Hilton’s wedding? she was not invited. I am sure there were orders to arrest her on sight if she tried to gain access to the festivities, or something was put in place in the U.S. so that she could not get on a plane. Kathy may be a fool, but this is her dream of a lifetime. She went to Kensington Palace to discuss china patterns last year, there is NO WAY Kim was invited. Kyle’s outfit was about all the embarrassment she was going to put up with at that wedding. So, she is lying again. Or fantasizing again. One thing is for sure, she is delusional. I hate to agree with Dr. Phil, but she needed one of those dual diagnosis facilities to determine the extent of her brain damage and to detox, and to attend mandatory in house meetings for a year. She is very much like Michael Jackson. She surrounds herself with people who will do what she wants with the meditation and pills, massage or whatever dumb-plan she has. Yes, Kim. That Life coach has been working out so well for you. She surrounds herself with enablers, and she smugly goes along her merry way. Brooke has not tweeted once about her since the wedding, and she used to write gushy mushy things. Kim can’t get past step one, to admit that you are powerless over alcohol or drugs. I see very little hope for her leading a normal life. She doesn’t even seem to have remorse for what she has put her family and kids through. They should all just get over it, and say Mommy I love you. Uh-Huh. OMG. She is crazy.

        gessiewtf, I was referring to a script possibly written by Monty of questions and answers for the ET interview that Kim did. The prescriptions that you are talking about are a given. They are his cancer drugs and they are high powered. Imo the reason Kim can’t remember Monty’s script is Monty’s prescriptions lol. Well that and the fact that she no longer has 2 brain cells firing at the same time. If she isn’t wasted in that interview, she is a much better actress than I ever gave her credit for because she has me convinced she’s higher than a Georgia pine.

    She surrounds herself with yes men. No one dares to tell Princess Kimberly that she needs rehab or they are fired on the spot. Monty has to kiss her ass and sing her praises day and night. I used to like Kim, but watching her Jekyll and Hyde act on Dr. Phil really was an eye opener. She’s a spoiled old twat who will be an addict until the day she dies.

      I saw this on ET and went to look for the clip. Not sure if it shows the part about Dr. Phil. She was asked whose idea it was to go on. She said it was hers. She was asked how she felt about it or something and she said she didn’t want to talk about Dr. Phil today. She was asked if she regretted walking off the set and she looked surprised and said NO! With a look of “Why would I regret that?”​

    Maybe all her “yes people” are saying that she doesn’t need rehab because she doesn’t adhere to what one is suppose to do in rehab. Better to stick her with acupuncture needles than to just let her loose on her own I guess..

      It’s the same Dr. sophy. He also treated Russell. His most infamous patient was Elliot Rodger, who murdered all those kids in Isla Vista last year. He Was on board for Elliot to move to Isla Vista and attend community college there, despite the fact that he had already dropped out of two local community colleges while living at home and under supervision. The Los Angeles Times ran a negative article on Sophy several years ago. I wouldn’t trust a word he says.

I was tensing up waiting to hear that mean and snarly inhuman voice she gets when angered by legit questions, accompanied with pointing her bony finger at the person who dared to ask it. But whew, she didn’t go there. This interview was a joke as is her “treatment”. All her enablers should be ashamed of themselves. She’s in such a bad place and I don’t see her getting better any time soon.

      I haven’t listened a 2nd time, but when the interviewer was introing the segment she said Kim even had a girl to bring the vitamins, supplements, & stuff. Then Kim said a girl/coach brought her meds. Later on still, Kim says her psychiatrist has her on the right meds. Not straight.
      Oh, and she was that Kim we see on HW when asked about Dr. Phil. Her tone of voice changed and she did everything but shake her finger in her face.
      I thought the Dr. Sophy on Dr. Phil was in charge of all child services for his county/city. Does he do the counselling on other shows and stations?

      Actually, having been to treatment/rehab many years ago, there is a set of vitamins/minerals/herbs that help people who are sobering up. When one has abused their body for so long, they become dependent on chemicals for basically everything. For some, vitamin support is dispensed at the treatment center. They do not make or keep one sober though. They are just one more tool. I had rampant insomnia, could not sleep, but because I was sober, I could not be given sleeping pills. In the alternative, I was given Melatonin and eventually was on a whole regimen of amino acids for my first couple of years. They helped. ( I do not like Kim and am hoping she does not come back on the show EVER. Just wanted to say that eastern medicine does have a lot of benefits for someone like her. But she has to do the work to stay clean)

I don’t know how big her house is but with all these people there it must be a little crowded. I think we all know that Kim “really” doesn’t want to stop the drugs and the booze, it’s too much fun. In her state of mind she is in great shape and all the people around her take care of her. Big movie star that she is. I hope she does get better, but I think it might be too late. She is no spring chicken anymore and it is showing. I don’t care how much make up they pack on her. All the crap that she is doing and has done always shows on the face and the body no matter how much you say you don’t do booze and drugs. If you area committed to getting better then DO IT. If not, one day someone will just say drink yourself out of this world. I would wish her good luck but she needs much more than that now.

    We can be entertained by her actions and delusions of being a film star.

    Kim will live in her delusions and all will be well her mind until the day it’s not.
    BTW, I doubt Kim’s kids know her truly clean, not on drugs or booze.

    It’s both sad & infuriating. Monty is in as much denial as Kim is. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt before I saw the full interview on TV, but once I saw it, she definitely seems high or intoxicated. I don’t know that she has as many yes people as much as she might have IDGAF anymore people. With the exception of Monty & any shill she might be paying, I think Kim is on her own. She has no apologies or regrets, no shame, & still so much rage towards anyone that points out the truth – Kyle, LVP, Rinna, etc. That doesn’t sound like recovery.

        And someone sent me the timestamp for her Dr. Sophy comment. That explains a LOT. No wonder she didn’t like the doctors in rehab. She’s doomed.

    “Special vitamins”….is that what we are calling them now? You would hope that publicly hitting rock bottom at her daughters wedding would have shown her the light. Sadly, she is unwilling to accept that she has a problem and she continues to surround herself with people that only validate her delusional thinking.

    Incredible. I re watched this vid and also saw a longer clip on the ET site that is just ah-maz-balls.

    I spose Kim is living in that house on the grounds (pool house?) at Kathy’s and Rick’s home. (they renovated that home for Nikki in this year b4 her wedding. It’s beautiful.) I think if Kim is living there, so is Monty- and Kathy/Rick also have the house arrest kid there in the fold.

    Interesting bunch.

    If Kim was even a tiny bit serious about her sobriety, we would still be wondering how/where she is. The simple fact that she is out & about trying to convince everybody that she is fine tells me all I need to know. It’s kind of like the old saying about somebody peeing on your leg & telling you it’s raining. She can’t keep the sobriety story straight anymore this time than the last.

    Rehab is not recommended for sociopaths as they use the catch phrases to manipulate people.

    It may have been the rehab that did not want her there as she was a hindrance to others seeking help.

    That is the only reason I can think of for a psychiatrist to recommend against rehab.

    I believe she really was sober for a while a couple seasons ago, when she was praying by a trash can (hey – whatever it takes!). She seemed humble, sincere, and kind then – not the arrogant, flippant, lying, slurring mess she is now. I’m sober, too, and was so happy to see her “get it.” I thought she was genuine, and a lovely example of sobriety. She was really lit up from within. Now she’s probably just lit up on Monty’s Fentanyl patches. So sad and scary to see her worst self taking over again. Never say never – I still hope she’ll get her shit together. It’s up to her.

      A few points of clarification. Kim never mentioned “special vitamins” that is the drunk one on NYC, Sonja’s go to term. I was making a comparative joke.

      Also, I never heard her say Dr. Sophy. I didn’t think he did private therapy anymore. Well except for the TV shrink stuff. Even if she really is seeing Dr. Sophy, I don’t think he would have told her she didn’t need rehab. As y’all mentioned, in addition to his controversies over the years, he works with Dr. Phil and was likely part of that whole televised intervention debacle. Dr Sophy, who is half a step closer to being a shrink than Dr Phil would have been the one to set up the rehab for Kim.

      Finally, many of you fail to see that everything Kim is saying on these shows is a lie. All of it. She has no big house, no team of people, she is not going to meetings, she does not have a home group (which is a primary AA group who would NOT be coddling her, and the sober coaches have all abandoned her.) What she has is Monty and some sort of drugs and or alcohol.​

        There has never been a person more in desperate need of a life changing/reality check…after that, then she should go to rehab. Because rehab for someone who has no interest in actively and honestly participating is a complete waste of time.

        I’m not a doctor and haven’t played one on TV, 😉 just a Grandmother raising a 15 yr old Grandson who is on Topamax with a side of Lexapro. It can be prescribed off label for many things, such as my boys Bi-polar, Depression and OCD. Seems to work great along with therapy sessions.
        You don’t get a high or a down from it, though who knows how it might mix with other pills? All I know is the boy isn’t screaming or pulling knives on me anymore. His only complaint is he doesn’t have dreams at night since starting Topamax, and he misses dreaming.

      zoemonster2, I have been taking Topamax for 3 years (occasionally with Xanax) for my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for severe pain from nerve injury. I’ve never experienced any of the symptoms Kim exhibits. It is not a narcotic. It has many usages as indicated above and is also being considered as a weight loss drug. I’ve lost 60 lbs. while taking it that I gained from other CRPS drugs that make you gain weight. It has reduced my nerve pain level enough to make it possible for me to walk again. So I can’t say what Topamax does to Kim but for me it does not make me “stupid crazy”. Imo Kim’s continued drug/alcohol abuse makes her stupid crazy not her possible Topamax use.

Do a google. Yes it also is off label for diet and a new diet drug that’s had excellent results is half phentermine/half Topamax. @hannah

        zoemonster2 are you a pharmacist, doctor, or addict? I am a part of a community of people with an incurable disease many of whom use Topamax as part of their regime without these adverse reactions. As with any drug, reactions differ from person to person but for many of us if taken properly the drug benefits us immensely especially for nerve pain. You obviously have never experienced pain so severe you have considered cutting you own leg off because of it. Topamax has changed that for me and many people that I know. So for you to make a blanket statement about knowing exactly how it works for most people is a bit exaggerated to say the least. If you abuse Topamax with all the rest of the things Kim obviously takes then yes it could be a contributing factor. Please just don’t profess to be an expert unless you can give me proof since it has been the only thing that has worked for me and many people I know personally. I’m not trying to be difficult about this but I as a long term user of Topamax don’t feel that it makes me crazy stupid just because you say it does.

    I just don’t believe a single word that comes out of that woman’s mouth. If she said it, it probably isn’t true. She is a liar which probably is a result of her addiction. With her erratic and aggressive behaviour the interviewer has to tip toe around her bc kim can explode and storm off any second now. She seems to handle a 1 on 1 interview, when there is nobody else around holding her to accountability she can just lie away. She can manipulate poor monty bc he is too sick to question it and probably needs to believe she’ll be ok. But really she is a joke and as long as she stays this way it’s good TV for us I suppose.

    As a woman who has had long term sobriety and relapsed, I found a lot of truth in what Kim was saying with”just go to meetings” and “you don’t need rehab”. Rehab was never designed to last forever and I am convinced Kim Richards knows how to stay sober, if she wants it bad enough. Sober living in a controlled environment would have been a great option with her financial resources. Going back to the people,places and things which enabled the using, might not have been best. I have no idea if Kim is sober and on medication prescribed by a doctor for her anxiety. I pray that is the case. What concerned me most was the need for the interview so soon. (we alcoholics love attention).
    I’ve been pulling for Kim for a long time and will continue to pray for her. If the arrest and loss of her job isn’t bottom, I fear for her life. I’m thankful for today and glad I’m not famous and rich.

How she can blame her niece for Kingsley attacking her is beyond my comprehension. I think that might have been when Kyle decided to just stop. I hope the dog doesn’t kill anyone.

    My 2 cents worth: Kim is an egotistical, self-important, constantly coddled asshole. She has zero redeeming qualities IMO. I have an egotist for a sister and it took me over 40 years to identify her for who and what she is, but now I’m an expert. Kim does not care one iota what ANYONE thinks. Her version of the truth is the only acceptable one to discuss. She sees anyone who merely questions her perceptions as the enemy…a challenge to her character…and she will get her defenses up as if her very life is in danger. She cannot allow truth and common sense to interfere with her delusions or she will cease to exist because her mental stability is completely dependent on maintaining the story she created to justify her bad behavior. If she entertains any other point of view, then she will have to admit she behaved inappropriately and that others may be correct. You can just see Kim spouting off about how she loves sobriety (or whatever along those lines) and her words are meaningless. She is just reciting a phrase she thinks she should say to appease us dummies who are too unenlightened to understand such a complex and praiseworthy woman such as herself.

    I think I so dislike Kim Richards because she reminds me of my sister. Both are narcissists and both have been coddled by those around them because everyone was so afraid that to challenge them would be devastating. Personally, I’m sick of it. Kim Richards will never, ever, ever, change. I just hope those unfortunate enough to be acquainted with her will learn to disengage and end their futile attempts to make her see what everyone else sees.

I’m currently trying the ‘tough love’ gig, so I guess time will tell how well that works out for us. Hanging on with a very small thread of hope! Gawd, I’m too old for this shit!

    More of Kim Richards’ selective hearing at work. Her doctor probably told her rehab is futile due to the severity of her denial, but attending meetings is paramount. Kim hears: You don’t need rehab. Just hit a meeting now and then. It counts if the meeting is with your acupuncturist.

    Her appearance in Sharknado will be the high point in the revival of her “movie” career…she is just another sad, spoiled, former child star who has turned to drugs and alcohol to deal with her lack of fame.

    I am WAY late to this story…but here goes. The sad part is that there is and always will be someone who will tell Kim what she wants to hear. And they will think that they are helping her. It is called enabling….now if I onl knew how to stop doing it myself.

    I only say she needs rehab, because it doesn’t seem the basic things one is taught there have sunk in. I don’t know that she knows what it takes to be sober, how would she? She never has been. She thinks it’s ok to be “sober” and take medication for everything under the sun. You can’t be in sobriety and popping pain pills because something hurts, or taking anti anxiety meds because you’re anxious. Those options are off the table unless it’s a life threatening situation, like you’re having surgery and you’re endangering yourself by refusing pain meds. And then you better have someone monitoring you, and sober support 24/7 to keep that in check.

    I 100% agree that not everyone requires rehab, some do it with meetings alone, but having been through all of it (sober living included) I would recommend the advantage rehab gives you if you have the resources to go, meetings with it, and then sober living. Why not take advantage of every opportunity? Most addicts, like myself, have complex traumas, ptsd of some sort, other disorders. Rehab is a place where you can safely work out some of those issues with a therapist in a controlled environment with others with similar problems. That was a god send for me, and kim has issues out the wazoo. If only for that reason, she could benefit immensely from rehab not to mention being tested and being clean off the drugs. So while it can be done, it requires immense will and discipline to get sober by going to meetings alone, and this woman does not have it right now. She doesn’t even have the will to stay put in a posh facility and complete the treatment.

    I really truly believe the ones with the most money, fame, fans and means are the most doomed because there is always someone or something there to soften the blow for them. Save them, bail them out, and tell them what they want to hear. Nobody ever hits bottom and gets better that way, you gotta hit the ground hard and get some sense knocked into you, and realize if you don’t pick yourself up, no one will- nobody can do it for you. You have to be in so much pain living that life that you’re willing to try to change to get out of it. She isn’t living that way, she has “yes” people around her always, enablers, protecting her from hitting that wall. Sad.

      Yes Shae, yes.
      I recently after being very clean for decades went and requested a certain schedule 2 or 3 drug.
      I was desperate and frustrated with how I am living. I’ve done my work with healthy eating, exercise, revisited a few meetings, I socialize.
      Nothing helped.

      I walked out with a script for a large jug of liquid speed. OMG, my old self would had driven over everyone to fill that prescription. I came home and did research. Ended up returning it for a low dose pill. I’ve a good friend and 35 yr clean person monitoring me.
      Shae this took me decades to be where I am today, it was not a quick fix.
      Kim has never had the aching the fear of losing all she is and those she loves. Except for Kyle walking away, no one has ever drawn that line with her.
      I believe Kim has been using since her early years. Kim’s children have never known their mom clean. They only know her under the influence.

        That’s amazing that you’ve gotten to this point. You’re smart to have someone monitor you, because it shows you really care about keeping things safe vs. old behaviors 🙂 I understand completely. I am 3 years sober and in my recovery have had to have quite a lot of medical and dental work done, and in my case I needed to do it without the aid of the medications most people would be using. Once, by mistake, my dentist’s office called in a narcotic rx for me and I had to hand it back to the pharmacist and insist it wasn’t supposed to be for me. In the old days, no way would that have happened lol It can be extremely hard, but we have to take care of ourselves. You’re exactly right, there is no quick fix, but when you do the hard work it is so gratifying <3

        I think you're right in that Kim's fam doesn't know how to let someone be and fall flat on their face, only kyle has put her foot down, and that enables and perpetuates kim's sickness 🙁
