Someone emailed me the following this week….
Kim Richards on Instagram: “Happy Birthday to my Dad…the most AMAZING Man I’ve EVER known Who I love with all my heart & soul.. and am so grateful
?to have had a father like you that I am so proud to say…….., “That’s My Dad!!!
️ where ever you are…. I love you
️and Wish you a Magical Day!!!!
?⭐️
”
And all of the emojis and wishes for magical days had me a bit concerned about Kim. I finally had some time to look into the situation and hopefully Kim really is doing fine as she said at the Unite for a Lyme Free World Gala recently. One major entertainment website did a whole story around one sentence that Kyle said which was something like, “Kim’s doing great!” The thing is Kyle always says that.
Another person who cheers Kim on is Monty. Monty went through several days were it seemed as though he was saying goodbye, which was worrisome but he also went to Rick Hilton’s birthday party where I am pretty sure I saw Jaclyn Smith in the photos. He also went to dinner with Vanna White and another night with some other female friend of his. He sure does rally to get out and about!
Last night he took the above photos while having dinner at Kim’s house. You know the drill, go to dinner with a former spouse and snap shots of their bedside table to share on the Internet. It seems Kim really does like turtles. And photos of her with Monty. And giant phallic crystals.
Monty told a commenter on his Instagram that Kim is over 100 days clean and sober. Let’s hope that is true. We have seen her out and about in the last 100 days though and it was a bit concerning.
Here is hoping she’s working her program.
I really hope Kim is doing fine. I am rooting for her.
Prayers going up for Kim as always…I want her #winning <3
I would prefer that they Kyle haters not attack me…cuz..I go bonkers for her..she does NOT lie..that is my opinion..Kyle has been standing by her sister for decades..and Kim has been blackmailing Kyle for decades…”don’t spill or I will tell secrets”…for once Kyle stood up for herself …even though Brandi made sure she blurted out Kim’s blathering at the reunion…Kyle loves Kim..end of story!
It scares me that Kim is with Monty..as he has given Kim his meds..she is an actual addict…that is not love.
I am a huge Kim/kyle fan…I support kim’s sobriety..but I also understand Kyle’s priority..protecting her children..again.
I want and support Kim’s sobriety..she deserves the world she wants
I want and support Kyle’s wishes…happy family..not dysfunctional
rant over
please be nice
Of course Kyle lies, everyone does. If Kim was in trouble again she would not say to the TMZ guy, “well actually she’s totally strung out on pills and and hiding out with Monty.” She’d say what she always says. Everything is fine! She’s great! Just as she has done for decades.
agree TT, the enabler (especially in Hollywood) has to say the person is doing “great.” They are just trying to survive and keep their enabled alive and moving forward. I feel for Kyle.
Kyle is known for being in denial and not putting people on blast…that is how she always has been…she is always the last to bring up anything about “family issues” ..deny/don’t talk about it…kim’s issues of abusing drugs and alcohol has been made public and now ..kyle is expected to explain Kims addictions…that sux rocks…why not ask kim who kim is doing..find kim..not kyle..I know..rub a lamp.
Yeah, I was being extreme, everyone lies..
I like Kyle a lot, but she’s never honest about Kim. I have no doubt that she loves Kim and wants the best for her…but she’s always trying to save face for the both of them when it comes to Kim. Kim is eccentric with or without drugs and I wish her the best, but there is no evidence of 100 days soberity for her unfortunately.
ITA. Kyle has always been intimidated by Kim, she actually is scared to death of Kim for whatever reasons. Kyle has to go along and say things are fine with Kim or suffer the wrath of Kim which we have all seen on RHOBH
I agree Just Jenn – Kim deserves sobriety and Kyle does a body cringe when talking about actual human serious issues..she has never changed..my worry is that Kim and Monty seem to be declaring their love for each other again – in monty’s latest instagram..a pic taken in Kim’s bedroom….all deserve health and happiness..
Kyle also doesn’t owe us shit. “Us” being people not in her close family circle. Just like we don’t owe anyone else updates on our sister’s business although yes Kim is famous so she just smiles and says all is well. She does it somewhat well.
Kyle has certainly exhibited classic enabling in scenes between her sister and her – early on. But I would content that Kyle has suffered both in verbal abuse from her sister AND a lot of clueless bloggers/commenters (not necessarily on here – but on Twitter) when she finally decided to fight against her training to be an enabler – I say training, because she has alluded to her mother expecting them to take care of Kim multiple times. Hell, I wonder if even Kathy wasn’t mad at her – Kathy Hilton didn’t post pics of Kyle or her kids for a couple of months after that reunion.
Did she do it inelegantly at times? Yes – the screaming you are an alcoholic in the limo wasn’t her finest moment. But it was understandable, in my opinion. Kyle is the youngest – she’s going against a LIFETIME of habits and emotional baggage when it comes to her family of origin’s dynamics.
But stick a camera in my face and ask me about a particular family member who is not working any sort of program right now? I’d smile and lie my ass off too.
Come to think of it there is actually evidence to the contrary- the arrest at Target. Kim’s idea of sober and that of the rest of the planet are not the same- she has checked into and out of three clinics that have been reported in the press since the later arrest- and checked out of two of them in the middle of the night, with zero follow through, after committing to a three month program, I believe. In the last admission, it was reported that she worked with noone in the clinic and refused to cooperate with any part of the program . Of course I understand that the sources for some of this information maybe incorrect, and that Kim may be getting help at some other place, but frankly, I don’t believe it.
Kim left the dual track treatment program, where she had committed to stay for several months, which was intent on treating both the addictive and psychiatric problems, within the first two weeks. Each of the subsequent reported attempts at rehab, where she was going to stay for months, treated only alcohol- she refused to do the hard work and attempt to get off all the pills she is on, which many believe are the key to her failure to be well. She refuses to go to AA meetings or stay with programs for the longer period it takes anyone- let alone someone who has failed to remain sober multiple times after multiple rehabs- , on spectacular levels, She has been “missing”, reported “living in her car”:, or “on friends’ couches” during this period.
Kim reportedly has no home at this time and her family are reportedly not allowing her to live with them. It is clear they are trying to find ways to be “tough” yet close enough to her to know what is happening, and of course they are saying she is doing great- it appears she is doing exactly what she wants and nothing else.
In the meantime Kim has been reported to be desperately seeking drugs , including, specifically Xanax, to help her manage, through the days, while, it appears, she fails to work with real doctors who would be pushing her to seek serious help and work a program. If she is trying to buy mood-altering drugs in tobacco stores, it appears Kim is unable to source them legally, which would be consistent with the KIm we have seen since spring- not working with medical help to be well.
I am so sorry this is happening, but it is up to Kim, who has failed to take her court situations clearly and been given unbelievable latitude with her apparent lies, and who apparently refuses to see how serious her drug/alcohol/ psychiatric problems are. She is hurting everyone close to her, but . continues to believe she knows better and that the rules don’t apply to her. Monty’s illness must be a profound sadness , and while his jolly supportive statements on social media ma made her happy, they are neither the truth, nor helpful in any way. Kim and Monty are living in a delusional world, and it may be that his illness is a reason the family is being patient with her now. The truth is that he has given her drugs in the past and may well be hurting her by ding it now, as well. None of that is helpful. it would be far more appropriate for Kim to have real medical help available to her as Monty’s illness progresses- otherwise, how can she deal with it?
Who is Kim
Richards ?
In this world?
I hope not having the RHoBH cameras following her around is helping her stay grounded.
Well she had sobriety issues LONG before the show, so it is doubtful. Still, maybe she finally hit her rock bottom and is working hard on her sobriety. Maybe if she left social media all together it would help?
Kim has never been unhappy on instagram. As far as I can tell she’s always positively ecstatic online. She reminds me of those girls in elementary school who would dot their i’s and j’s with hearts.
Overtly happy Instagram posts does not equate to actually living a happy sober life.
Precisely, Michael. I’m actually terrified of her too, too happy IG posts. They’re almost like a warning sign that she’s about to make another boo-boo.
They are so weird. I hope its only weird. Monty has dinner with Vanna White?
Kim is not “great”. Never is. Doesn’t matter what Kyle says. Sorry.
Also I agree with everything Erica said.
Oh Good Lord! I have the most wonderful Dad in the whole wide world blah blah blah hugs and kisses and butterflies I love you Dad WHERE EVER YOU ARE???!!!
