As a mental health advocate and someone who has walked a similar path, I cannot help but feel a profound sense of empathy for Kim and her family. From my own experiences, I know all too well the pain and turmoil that comes with battling addiction and mental health issues. It’s heartbreaking to see a family torn apart by these struggles, especially one as close-knit as the Kardashians.


On Friday, it was noticed that Kyle Richards had made an appearance in Los Angeles for the first time since news broke about her elder sister, Kim Richards, allegedly experiencing a relapse and being admitted under a 5150 psychiatric hold earlier in the month.

55-year-old celebrity from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, who recently had a run-in with Kim over eviction matters, paid a visit to the L.A. County Probation Department and the Superior Court in Van Nuys this week.

As a devoted admirer, I must share that a trusted confidant has revealed to me that the esteemed TV personality is deeply distressed due to her sister’s ongoing struggle with substance abuse. To add to this, the actress, now 60 years old, finds herself in a very challenging situation following her recent relapse.

Kyle was sporting a set of high-rise, blue denim pants along with a casual, patterned white top during his excursion.

A cap with a mix of brown and white colors sat atop her head, slightly concealing her wavy, chestnut-brown hair that cascaded gently downwards.

The television personality finished off her ensemble by putting on a pair of soft, light brown boots and casually swung a sleek black shoulder bag across her right shoulder.

As a devoted admirer following Kim’s journey, I’ve learned that she, who graced our screens on RHOBH, is said to have experienced a setback. Reports indicate that she’s currently under a psychiatric observation.

In my role as a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share some insights about a recent incident that has caught my attention. It appears that Kyle and Kim were reportedly engaged in a disagreement earlier in the week, according to a representative from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) who spoke to People magazine.

On a typical Wednesday, I found myself navigating a family matter at a residence I happen to own in Encino, a place that had temporarily become a home for my sister.

LAPD officers apparently stepped in to maintain order following a report that a woman allegedly breached a protective order.

During their inquiry, the officers found that there was neither a recorded order nor any criminal activity involved.

The officials informed both sides about the eviction procedure, ensuring that order was maintained throughout the process, according to the outlet’s report.

The authorities were unable to confirm whether Kim and Kyle were part of the altercation.

At the moment, we haven’t received a response from either Kim or Kyle’s representatives after reaching out through DailyMail.com.

According to a source, as reported by People in their recent article (published on Friday), Kim’s family has apparently hit yet another critical point with her.

The source revealed that the actress’s frequent use of alcohol has long been a point of disagreement and tension between her and her siblings.

‘It particularly weighs heavily on Kyle, who has always been the worrier of the family.’

She strives hard to look after Kim, financially support her lifestyle, and this is often aided by Kathy Hilton. However, she finds it challenging to discern where the boundary lies between providing assistance and fostering dependency.

The source mentioned that after the relapse and being subjected to a 5150 psychiatric hold, Kim is experiencing a very difficult time.

The family has chosen to keep most information about the situation confidential, yet from what they’ve shared, it seems they’ve hit a significant impasse with her once again.

In the past, Kim has experienced recurrences with substance abuse issues. An inside source informed a media outlet that this situation seems to be following the same pattern or cycle.

‘Chaos until there’s some incident that gets Kim back on track, then brief steadiness as they repair their relationship, then the drinking starts again, Kim makes excuses, Kyle pleads she gets help, etc. etc.’Ā 

The source stated that Kyle is deeply affected by the recent event, and further mentioned, ‘Her heart is incredibly compassionate.’

‘She loves her sister so much, and always will, but she doesn’t know what else to do.’Ā 

Recently, it has been reported by TMZ that Kim was admitted into a hospital due to erratic behavior, which required a 5150 psychiatric evaluation. She was transported there by an ambulance.

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

As stated by NAMI Sonoma County (National Alliance on Mental Illness), under the laws of California, specific licensed professionals are authorized 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.’

In the current circumstances, it’s essential for the healthcare institution or hospital to conduct a comprehensive assessment of that individual. This evaluation should encompass aspects related to their health, mental state, education background, social status, financial situation, and any legal matters involving them.

According to TMZ’s report, sources within law enforcement stated that Kyle expressed concern about Kim’s sobriety, suggesting she was in a precarious situation, and further added that the whole family was anxious about her wellbeing and potential survival.

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

During the premiere of their reality series back in 2010, Kyle made accusations towards Kim that she had a drinking problem during a heated conversation. A year following this incident, Kim sought treatment at a rehabilitation center.

Back in April 2015, Kim was taken into custody due to excessive intoxication at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Later that year, she sought help at a rehabilitation center located in Malibu.

2016 saw her trace the origins of her struggles with addiction back to her separation 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.’
