Richards told ET on Wednesday that she completed her program, and has been sober beyond 30 days. Isn’t one of the steps taking accountability?

“Monty, my ex-husband, is very sick and my son wasn’t well”. Also returning are Lisa Vanderpump, Eileen Davidson, and Lisa Rinna.

“My arrest was my…” She said it was time much needed away to focus on herself. The former child star briefly left the facility to attend her daughter Brooke’s wedding in Cabo San Lucas.

“I went in and I got to learn a whole lot about myself”, she told “ET” host Nischelle Turner. “I worked on me”. The reality star added that she was pleased with how her friend has improved in a span of weeks. Again, we don’t believe you! Now that I have [John] by my side it would be a completely different situation, having a support system.

As for her strained relationship with Kyle, she said, “I’ve talked to her a couple of times when she’s been in France and London”. News adding, “Without her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills salary, she’s going to have to figure something out”.

But Bravo producers are anxious about Kim’s health and the serious problems she could cause on the show. “Financially, she’s stressed”, the insider explained to E!

In her first TV interview since leaving rehab earlier this month, the former star of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, 50, spoke candidly about her recent arrest and her struggle with sobriety. “There have been small roles here and there, but she needs money”. Reports indicated that she was not going to be returning, but that may not be the case anymore. Once taken into custody, she reportedly kicked a police officer in the leg. The reality star was charged with public intoxication, trespassing, resisting arrest and battery of a police officer, and issued a citation for a misdemeanor. “I decided to stay in treatment”, maintains Kim, who fled in the middle of the night a few days after the high-profile wedding.

Meanwhile, Perez Hilton reported that Glanville gushed about the “RHOBH” alum decision to take control of her life. Sober friends like Brandi Glanville?
