This morning Kim Richards lawyers met for a pre-trial hearing on her Beverly Hills Hotel case where she was facing trial for four misdemeanor charges of trespass, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public drunk. The plea deal requires Kim never to return to the Beverly Hills Hotel, serve three years probation, attend fifty-two alcoholics anonymous meetings within one year, and complete THIRTY days of community labor. (EDITED: it initially said THREE DAYS not the correct number, of 30! It’s been a long couple of days.)
Kim’s Attorney, Robert Shapiro, informed the judge that Kim is unable to perform community labor due to a foot injury. She certainly did not have a foot injure at the recent Sharknado premiere where she hopped around in front of the step and repeat and gave an interview with ET! So either she has recently injured herself or she is about to go shopping for a doctor’s note. The judge says he will need a doctor to attest to the fact that Kim is unable to complete community labor before allowing the plea to be changed to community service. We’ve seen in LA that community service can mean pretty much anything. 
In the long run if Kim is not in some sort of a program where she is admitting that she has a problem and working to get better, it won’t take long for her to violate her probation. Currently, it’s not even clear if she has a stable place to live.
Kim’s theft case as a result of shoplifting a bunch of stupid crap from the Target in Van Nuys is still open. I believe her court date for that is September 11th.
Kim was not in the courtroom for today’s proceedings.
P.S. This is my first post on the new host. Fingers crossed this all works out. My current status is “it’s complicated.”
P.P.S. I can’t choose sizes for my photos. It’s full size or nothing. Most of my photos won’t fit the blog full sized. UGH. My brain hurts.
This is what is bugging me about all this. The Beverly Hills Hotel is notoriously anti media/photography. It had to be a really bad situation for them to want to ban her from the hotel. I wonder if she was just a habitual drunk in the bar there. I hope she gets help. No one likes to watch a downward spiral.
you’re new page looks great..
Kim is seriously on my last nerve..I am surprised that Monty did not report this “cast in a foot” situation..
disturbing to realize/surmise/come to the conclusion..that Kim is still doing what kim wants..no rehab..no court.
I also noticed ..that she is not interested in financially compensating the police officer that she smacked/kicked..
I would prefer not to believe that Kim is doing the “hollywierd” behavior of being accountable..don’t show up…dr’s letters…broken something…geez.
I actually believed that Kim driving drunk to the hotel she is now banned from, was her rock bottom..apparently there is… a ways to go..before hitting land
Poor Kim.
I’m so excited for you. Good luck on the new site and I hope it pays off in your pocket book! Let me know if there’s anything I can do from a users perspective.
what happened to the lawsuits pertaining to Kingsley biting people? Has something happened with those?
The new site looks good, hope it brings you many shekels.
Site looks great, sorry it sucks so much for you. Kim has not done one thing to show she wants to be healthy. Drunkenly ranting about how much she loves sobriety is sad. She is my age, I grew up knowing her on tv and the movies. I fear soon we will hear about her death by OD
Kim gets on my last nerve! I don’t get why she didn’t need to appear in person along with her lawyer, injured ankle and all This is all for nothing, she will be in trouble within days and will not get the help she needs. I am going to be sorry to hear something “bad” happens to her or someone else because of her. Kim is seriously ill plain and simple.
Sorry, TT-your site is awesome. Thanks for all your hard work!
Your site looks amazing. Love it! ☺
🙁 Poor Kim.
Congrats on getting the new site up Tamara!
I find it utterly ridiculous that she’s trying to get out of THREE DAYS of community labor. I think some hard community labor sounds like a very good inclusion in her punishment. They should just tell her that it can wait until her foot is better. If they claim that it’s an issue that won’t get better then it should be looked at as a breach of probation if she is caught doing things that show that her foot is okay, and she should have to serve her jail time.
I’m scared to even ask, but do we know what happened to kingsley?
I did community service in lieu of paying a ticket. There are plenty of options where one can sit. Not all community service requires hard labor. I did mine at a drug and alcohol treatment center working in the kitchen. There are many non-profits that participate that have filing or what not. She just has to make herself “different” which is what is keeping her sick!
Except that it cleary said community labor.
I wonder who is paying him. He is NOT Cheap!
KYLE + MAURICIO!
I’ve always liked Kim and wish her well.
On another note, are we who utilize add-blockers screwing you over in an inadvertent way, Tamara? If so, I’ll disable for your new site.
what the hell does a foot injury have to do with community service? Are they asking her to kick box? Did she injure her foot kicking the cop? Put the bitch behind a desk and let her stuff envelopes and lick envelopes for 8 hrs at a time for gods sake. Only in LA.
They wanted her to do community LABOR, like scrubbing graffiti or picking up trash or cleaning out drainage pipes. As opposed to community service which can be tutoring or speaking engagements or working a soup line.
I think it would actually be really good for her to do the labor. But I think she’d get the DTs while doing it.
Robert Shapiro wants her on the Lindsay Lohan plan.
Thanks for explaining, TT. I always thought community service included all of those options.
I wish the judge would just postpone until she is capable of the physical labor. Pretty hard to spin picking up trash or cleaning graffiti into anything other than good old community service. Maybe standing on the side of the 405 freeway, picking up trash while wearing an orange Cal Trans vest, would be the smack on the head she desperately needs.
Who cares about Kim? Your new site is up, exciting!
Love this layout. Very sleek and the font in your title is complimenting.
New site looks great, Tamara! As for Kim, I can’t even…
Thanks so much.
I really wish Kim would wake up and realize she is doing herself more harm than good. Her kids have got to eb at their wits end, not to mention anyone else who loves her. One cannot slide through life and expect everyone else to always pick up the pieces. I wish her well.
I love your new place–it seems like it’s updated, sleek & clean–I’m sure you are still dealing with the move. You have the headaches of boxes, transferring utilities, figuring out when to take out the trash. Just wanted to send you some encouragement–I am so green about the blogging world, but as a frequent reader–your new home seems like a winner. Everything loads so much more quickly–love it! I know you were concerned about your photos only loading in a large format, but goodness, they look great and are very eye-catching. Hoping your new “address” lands you lots of new visitors.
Also, thanks for your continued Kim Richards coverage–actually your kind continued Kim Richards coverage. Hoping and praying for healing.
Thank you Mindy. So nice to hear, while I’m so exhausted. It will all come together soon. xoxo
Looking gorgeous here!
Kim is lucky to have Robert Shapiro on her side. When his son died, he was so devastated. His helping Kim may be cathartic for him, too.
A foot injury. Good Lord. What ish. Imagine the army of volunteers who would line up to push Poor Injured Kim in a wheelchair while she scrubbed this n that, picked up trash, etc.
Site looks great. I went through some archives and they worked just fine. Kim needs to suck it up, do the community labor, and thank God she wasn’t charged with a felony. I hate to see someone self destruct.
She “slammed her foot in a door” three days ago.
I believe it probably had more to do with getting access to pain meds than skipping out on the potential for community labor, but . . . BONUS.
Way to go Kim!!
Just about to post same, Coby. It is as old as addiction itself.
COOPS, sorry @ misspellin_ your name Cobe.
I love the new site! My niece is taking a criminal justice class, her term paper is on the Jodi A case. She said TT’s has the best layout of the case and it’s easy to read:) Go TT!
All that was OT! My Adderall, (I have a RX) isn’t working.
As someone who once had a love hate relationship with pain pills,I am terrified of actually needing medication for pain relief. I hope Kims foot is ok.
“It’s full size or nothing. ” That’s what he said!!
Congrats on the new site, Tamara ? I enjoy your blog very much, the snark, wit and intelligently written. You and your other writers provide insight, humour and shrewd observiation which makes for a thoroughly entertaining read. Thanks – I always come here first, and you never disappoint. Thanks again all of you behind the scene. Great job ?
