Former RHOBH star Kim Richards, 60, 'placed on psychiatric hold' amid reported 'substance abuse relapse'

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I have seen many public figures struggle with their personal demons. The case of Kim Richards, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, is a heart-wrenching reminder that addiction and mental health issues can be relentless and unpredictable.


As a lifestyle advisor, I’m sad to share that Kim Richards, a former star from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, appears to be facing some challenges again. Reports suggest she’s experienced a setback and is currently under the care of medical professionals, receiving support in a psychiatric facility. Let’s send her positive thoughts and wishes for a swift recovery.

A representative from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told People magazine that it’s been reported a reality star, aged 60, and her sister, aged 55, had a disagreement earlier this week, which may have led to the former falling off a wagon, though the details are unclear.

On Wednesday, there was an event involving the siblings who reside in Encino. This event took place at a house owned by Kyle, which Kim had recently been temporarily living in.

LAPD officers are reported to have intervened to maintain order following an incident where a woman allegedly breached a restraining order.

Based on their investigation, the officers found that there was neither an existing order nor a crime that had been perpetrated.

The authorities shared that both parties had been notified about the eviction procedure, ensuring the peacekeepers maintained order throughout the process.

The officials couldn’t confirm whether Kim and Kyle were part of the altercation.

At the moment, we haven’t received a response from the representatives of either Kim or Kyle, following our inquiry on DailyMail.com.

Just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but be swept up in the news about my beloved Kim Kardashian. According to TMZ, she was admitted to a hospital under a 5150 psychiatric hold due to some concerning, incoherent behavior. It’s been a tough time for her fans like me who are eagerly watching and hoping for her well-being.

At the time, she was reportedly staying at a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

As per NAMI Sonoma County (National Alliance on Mental Illness), specific licensed professionals are allowed by California law to temporarily detain an individual for a period of 72 hours for psychiatric evaluation.

During a 5150, a person is taken into custody and held for up to 72 hours for evaluation.’

During this period, it’s necessary for the healthcare institution or hospital to conduct a comprehensive assessment considering the individual’s health history, mental state, education background, social circumstances, financial status, and any relevant legal matters.

According to reports by TMZ, sources within law enforcement claim that Kyle expressed concern about Kim’s sobriety, stating she was in a serious predicament, and the family as a whole was worried for her safety.

Kim’s struggle with sobriety was documented during her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In the debut season of their reality series, broadcasted in 2010, Kyle made accusations about Kim’s alcoholism during a heated conversation.

A year later, she entered rehab.

In April 2015, Kim was apprehended for being under the influence in a public place at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Later in the same year, she sought help at a rehabilitation center located in Malibu.

In 2016, she traced back her struggles with addiction to the year following her divorce from her second spouse, Gregg Davis, which occurred in 1991.

‘I started noticing I was drinking a lot,’ she recalled. ‘That’s when my issue started.’
