That's a good sign!
Kyle Richards head SoulCycle in Brentwood this morning, and the reality star seemed upbeat and positive about her sister Kim Richards entering rehab for alcohol abuse and just admitted to abusing drugs, according to reports. When asked how her struggling sibling is doing, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star gave the thumbs up. Maybe Kyle knows something we don't because from everything we've heard so far about Kim's brief stint in rehab is that the reality star is being quite dramatic. Not that we're surprised!
If you believe the recent reports, it doesn't sound like Kim is taking very well to treatment. Apparently Kim's detox was brutal and she's blaming Dr. Phil for turning the interview in a negative direction. But really Kim's addiction and her refusal to acknowledge it seem to be to blame for her current situation.
Us Weekly is reporting that Dr. Phil's cameras caught the audio of Richards' conversations with her children. Her son, Chad, confronted her, saying, "You haven't been sober." Kim said, "Yeah, but Chad. I'm not drinking everyday."
But Chad wasn't having it and called his mother out. "I live with you," Chad said. "I'm not saying you're drinking, but you're taking pills. You do this every once in a while, you smoke pot." The defiant reality star then confirmed her son's accusations when she admitted to taking drugs, "Every once in a while...."
Looks like alcohol isn't the only substance Kim's been abusing. Let's hope she really works it the program in rehab because it sounds like she needs it.
The Dr. Phil show is paying for Kim’s rehab, because Kim doesn’t even have health insurance yet. Despite getting a handout, she's demanded a private room and refused to even consider having a roommate, according to reports. The boozy blonde is being a diva about the whole process, too!
