EXCLUSIVE: Kim Richards 'Thinks' She Drank at Daughter Brooke's Wedding: 'I Was Stressed'

Kim Richards exclusively sat down with ET for her first post-rehab interview.

[@sarahg1583]

There's *NO* way in hell she's sober. She's as defensive as ever. Just admit it Kim, you have no desire to quit using & the only reason you went to rehab (at least the last 2 times) was to shut every one up.

[@chiomajesus2768]

Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on [phone] tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in yours life. God bless you

[@jamesfox2579]

I agree!

[@annabellesinger3717]

Kim always looks like she's permanently under the influence!

[@annabellesinger3717]

***** Yes but she insists she has relapsed a few times and has been sober otherwise for years!

[@watermelondreasymone7144]

Its just her eyes, she's never gonna change or quit. She'll most likely die this way

[@Greeneyedoll86]

+Watermelondrea Symone 👏👏👏👏 so true

[@SritaCcaty]

I know and it’s not only from alcohol she is on heavier drugs

[@juliabrodie1635]

Because she is - blatantly obvious to those who know and those who don't and those that believe her (blindly hoping for the best).

[@gendermale4845]

Her blinking is very slow, and her eyelids look very heavy. She is abusing prescription medication, no doubt.

[@Queenmarie88]

Gender Male but she doesn't consider that to be "drugs". She also was huffing ---it showed up in her drug screen. She has never owned up to that.

[@nichmon3221]

Alcohol can also cause slow blinking and heavy eyelids.

[@4-.Cryb4by.-4]

100%

[@maryjablonski9712]

She used "the first time I had vodka in ten years" in another interview during a different incident.

[@SillyGayBoy]

Mary Jablonski Ha ha she’s such a dummy.

[@tanyadcc]

I have watched Kim on the Real Housewives. I've seen several of her interviews and although I root for her she has a major problem accepting responsibility for her actions and when the conversation gets too close she walks away.

[@mdaze9753]

Why are you rooting for her then? She is an obnoxious human being.

[@pinkkisses3043]

@@mdaze9753 for real and her eyebrows are hideous

[@elizabethlineman9116]

Same here- watched RHOBH and find Kim a textbook addict. Kyle has done more for her than most family members would- wish the family the best.

[@Mike_McP]

she is almost certainly under the influence of benzodiazepines (Xanax) during this interview. One of the tell-tale signs of benzos being psychoactive in ones system is the slowing of ones speech and annunciation. She's also delusion like any typical drug addict when she says "I only drank, no drugs" because that's her addict way of justifying that prescription pills are OK since a doctor prescribes them. Hope this women gets the help she needs soon before she loses her family, friends, and career for good.

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

No, I don't think she is drunk here. She is most likely on strong prescription drugs, possibly for conditions like depression, severe anxiety, stress and panic attacks. The medications for these will keep someone on an even keel but can often make you feel light headed, dizzy, disorientated, suffer from poor memory, find it hard to focus or concentrate on anything properly and basically you just feel really out of it. It's hard to think straight when you're on medication like this. I speak from experience, as a sufferer of panic attacks, stress and anxiety for years. The medications help you to cope tremendously in some ways but in other ways make you feel very dopey with the memory of a sieve and constantly tired and drained of energy. I feel sorry for Kim. She clearly has a lot of demons that she's fighting on a daily basis. It gets frustrating when other people don't understand what you're going through because they don't suffer from the same conditions. Her alcoholism is an illness. People call her a liar. That's something alcoholics are reknowned for doing, especially when they're in denial during a relapse. They will try to cover up their relapses with excuses. It's not exclusive to Kim! Each day will be a battle for her to stay sober, I'm sure. She'll have good days and bad days. She'll sometimes feel strong and confident that she can stay on the wagon but, when you start to feel low, down, panicky, stressed, lose your confidence and don't have the will to get out of bed in the morning it can be so easy to hit the bottle again. Some people are just stronger than others and have more fight in them. If she suffers anxiety and stress then staying away from alcohol will just make things ten times harder for her, I'm sure. I wish her all the best in her recovery.

[@shonatimmins2748]

Hey yes it's so easy to judge everyone else but no way will i ever judge anyone again! A fire started in my apartment but thank God it was only small and was easy fix but i will never forget the very next night i was asleep and something just woke me up and i felt fear come all over me and like everything went real silent and as if i was in slow motion, I Just sat at the side of the bed and i started to struggle to breathe its as if i couldn't breathe, so with that i started to panic and think holey fuck im having a heart attack? In that moment i swear on everything i know my hole life flashed in my head and all i kept thinking was i have to get out to get help well i basically cried like the rain thinking i was about to die right there on the ground? I had a baby at 16 so im a tough cookie and every street wise, but trust me when i say i got the fear of god in me that day,will i ever forgot! It lasted about 20 minutes and then slowly i started to return to normal, turns out it was just a Panic attack!, well fuck me i hope to god please God help us all i will never underestimate the power of a panic attack because they are not to be messed with bye no means! I think i was in shock for a week afterwards! So in future when i hear anyone say anything about panic attack i know exactly what there talking about ! I pray like never before, please break my leg or something but NO PANIC attack!

[@carmelo90branchina]

This woman is the meanest of them all! She was a whole act herself, fake cries, fake laughs and so on!

[@Christina4758]

Stop doing interviews and start doing your program. First things first.

[@Readyteddygo]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen her sober. Not once.

[@Iamlightning333]

This addict does not need to be in the lime light or media

[@nichmon3221]

She makes excuse, after excuse, after excuse.

[@steves2754]

-"Did YOU relapse at your daughters wedding?"
-"THEY put me on..."
Accountability=not possible. They should have a Guinness world record for immaturity.

[@dianemorris5816]

I don't believe her. She has been blessed with a really nice life and talks about all this stress, give me a break.

[@jf6591]

She revealed she was sexually abused when she was 6 years old by an ice cream man. Furthermore, knowing Hollywood the way we know now, clearly that was just the beginning of many other abuses. So, drugs and alcohol are the only way she found to cope with all that... She's broken and requires so much help for every point of view to recover.

[@annalouise5418]

She also was on the phone to her ex fiance when he was shot in the head. And she had to identify him

[@pauldavies8638]

she might off given up drink but she has replaced it with drugs

[@chookfeather]

NO ways she's sober and no way will she own up to her shit...She'll continue to lie and blame everyone else

[@Kimmyjoe222]

She's on something in this interview! Who the hell picks a drink up off of the ground & drinks it! Wow!

[@fransinclair3356]

Kimberly really who the hell picks a drink up of the ground and drinks it AN ALCOHOLIC DOES. A alcoholic would pick up a drink from a piles of shit. My gosh some people have no idea about addiction. Kim is doing amazing and very proud of her to finally put down the drink and sure alcoholics relapse but that is a part of addiction. People are so judgemental, lets see any of you get into an addiction and put down the drink, it is the hardest thing any person would ever do in their lives. There is nothing harder than to overcome an addiction nothing

[@levieenrose7646]

I love Kim. She's a sweet but troubled soul. Being a child star in Hollywood and having to financially support her family as a child for several years has obviously affected her life. Alcoholism is a disease and should never be made a storyline on a reality tv to push up ratings. I hope she gets the help she needs.

[@maririvera6052]

Thank you for understanding kim...alot of ppl don't seen to understand when someone is sick...I so love her & hope she can recover...love u Kim ❤️ 💖

[@conservachick100]

I just don't see anything "sweet" about her. She was actually nastier to people when she was supposedly sober. I do hope she's doing well, but she needs more than sobriety to fix her troubled personality.

[@rowanbowyer6560]

Never drugs............I absolutely do not believe her , there are all sorts of signs indicating she’s not just abusing alcohol. Very sad when people get this way they become so self absorbed making it harder to see how badly life is becoming for them.

[@elizabethlineman9116]

Textbook addicts know what to say to keep everyone at bay- sad.

[@conniecook8095]

When she publicly announces her participation in AA, she is breaking an important tradition of anonymity. The reasons for the tradition are 1. AA members are supposed to have humility. No member represents AA and 2. If a member announces his/her membership and thereafter gets drunk, it has the potential to influence others who need it ("See? So-and-so was in AA and drank, so AA must not work"). When a celebrity does this, it is harmful to sobriety, and simply demonstrates that that person may have been to meetings, but has no commitment to the program., has not paid attention, and is likely to relapse. This woman's self pity, dishonesty, and excuses are not helpful to her or to anyone else.

[@n.stiller146]

she's still not taking responsibility ,,I was frightened ,there where do MANY police,,I'm only 100 pounds ,I just needed to sit down ,I went to the bathroom and they can call it what they want ,, she still doesn't get it , another relapse waiting

[@fakiola9184]

Kim if you were just on anxiety medication at the time and recalled two tiny margaritas on the floor you would also remember if you picked them up or even drank them, to everyone saying she looks the same that's because in her adult life she has always been under the influence of something when she's been on camera her addiction has been going on for decades way before it was abused as a storyline on RHOBH

[@Moyoxi]

She and Brandi really deserve each other...

[@nursegrace7492]

Basically, she went to her daughter's wedding in ORDER to drink...

[@thangvuong9196]

First of all she's still a liar. During her interview with Dr. Phil, Kim's son exposed that she smokes marijuana as well as drink and prescription drugs. Secondly she sounds stoned in this interview. Nothing has changed.

[@simmsmith3911]

Thang Vuong lol not just marijuana that was established on the show real housewives. I dont see nobody commenting saying she a crackhead. Seriously she's no better than Whitney, her days are probably numbered.

[@kevincody1976]

[@thangvuong9196]

***** She did a Dr.Phil interview where she essentially denied everything then ended the interview, her son was trying to convince to return to the interview when he inadvertently exposed that she smokes weed plus pop pills plus drinks.

Thang Vuong I agree. Her saying because she was on a divan a little Margarita got her that fucked up at her daughters wedding. Lol !! It wouldn't do that to a nun let alone a person who is use to drugs and alcohol. Lol. Let her go hit rock bottom...why all the are about her to the public..she is just playing and lying to herself and everyone else.

[@knc1960]

I've been clean for over 12 years. She is not clean nor honest. She's justifying everything she's done, blaming everyone for her behavior, not taking any ownership in anything. She better start getting honest with yourself and learning what the definition of humility is or she's going to end up dead. I've seen it over and over in the rooms if the drugs and alcohol don't kill you then the lifestyle will. She is so arrogant. She better get a sponsor and start working the program or her family will be burying her.

[@schroeder666]

+knc1960 Kudos on your sobriety. Kim has a personality disorder, don't you think? But then I suppose a lot of people who are otherwise functional become demonically self-absorbed and self-obsessed while chasing drugs... she seems totally narcissistic to me. At the very least she has trouble with grandiosity when she's under any influence whatsoever.

[@knc1960]

+Schroeder I agree with you 100%! She minimizes her bad behavior. I've seen her in other interviews, one was with Dr. Phil. When he started calling her out on her behavior, she walked out of the interview!!! I recently saw her on Watch what happens Live with Andy Cowen. She said she relapsed by having ONE drink. Let me tell you, as an alcoholic myself, you don't stop at one drink. One is too many and a thousand is not enough! I'm very grateful that I got honest with myself and humbled myself and ask for help. A lot of people think that a rock bottom is a DUI or losing your job, but a rock bottom can be six feet under! I use to watch House wives of Beverly Hills, but I found it to be very frustrating. They all bicker and talk about each other behind the others back. They're just simply mean and two faced. I have a circle of friends and sisters that are loving supportive and I'm so thankful for each of them. I'd rather be alone than to have friends like those women!

[@schroeder666]

knc1960
You are a wise woman. I have a feeling Dr Phil got her to a place where she could get a dual diagnosis, but she is probably in denial about it anyway.

[@heatherzeller8014]

She’s such a liar!!!!

[@tatianagranger2427]

Kim was so so so mean right before and after this on the housewife show. It was sad bc I was hoping that she would have found some happiness or at least let go of all that anger, but maybe she wasn’t ready then. I pray she is now.

[@sadielynn4536]

It's so irritating to me when people separate alcoholism and drug use like they aren't interchangeable. One can justify the other. Like when drug addicts say I was a heroin addict but I never had a problem with alcohol so I drink a little. Not judging. In my opinion addiction is addiction is addiction. Once you use a substance, any substance legal or illegal in a way that you define yourself as an addict, that's it. You can either choose to get help, get clean completely or justify one substance for another (even if you dont indulge). I just think this is what makes people living with someone with addiction confused and annoyed. The problem is not the substance you use. Its fixing whatever is wrong with you. Whatever is broken to never need a substance to feel better. It's one day at a time. I'm not a doctor but lived with addicts my whole life and it makes me sad every time I see kim. Her family should be in al anon and she should have never been known to not be working a program and her family just let her continue with the show and not say nothing. Kim always makes everyone else the problem, when it's always yourself

[@shugar8204]

Omg she is so fucking defensive. Own your shit, that's a huge part of being sober. She's not sober.
And she is 1000000% using drugs. She blames medications that her doctors give her. TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOURSELF. STOP THE LIES.
If she was truly sober she would have said the exact number of days, not eh over 30 I think.

[@ccnproductions1753]

I actually really dislike how a lot of people treat Kim in the comments and on different interviews. Its not a joke! Leave her alone! Team Kim

[@KatiesArabVision]

CCNProductions sorry I'm not on the team of denial. That term you hear "own your shit" applies to her. Own who you are. Be fourthcoming or say listen, it's my business if I want to use I use. Leave me alone. She says none of that and tries to make shit up to cover up shit. It's very transparent. If she was more honest instead of claiming "no drugs only drinking" or any of that bs we would all be team Kim. We the people like honesty. No one likes lies. And she's full of them.

I drank a whole quart of Cranberry Juice in high school. Later at the mall at closing time, I got a stomach ache. Mom and I made our exit from the building. Then I needed to use the bathroom.

I really feel for kim Richards she has so many demons and they aren't being spoken to her about, she needs in depth counselling about her issue's but people in hollywood seem to be doing all they can to make money out of this girl and for her to no doubt but even with lots of money this lady ain't truly happy and she won't be till she deals with things properly, take yourself away from everything and everyone you know kim and move away...I did i wasn't sober for 20yrs and did rehab many times and failed before I finally did it and i moved away and thats what i credit with my sobriety today and i have been sober for 11yrs now....if i can do it anyone can and kim i am so happy and at peace inside myself hunnie, i never thought i would get to this happy place inside myself that i am at right now but I did and I love it, the thing for me looking back is knowing that for the most times i did rehab and failed it was because i did not give myself enough space or time to do it properly and i gave in to soon, if I'd of known it would be this easy and that I would be this happy i would of got sober 19yrs earlier than I did......#truestory
