Kyle Richards On Where She Stands With Sister, Kim
It has long been a struggle for Kyle Richards to watch her sister, Kim Richards stay sober. She has been right by her side, hoping that she will never get a fateful call that Kim has passed away. Unfortunately, it felt like she kept relapsing which played out in the early seasons of RHOBH. Even up until Season 7, there were questions about Kyle enabling Kim, and it was very hurtful. However, it appeared that Kim was doing fine, she had become a grandmother and was thriving.
Unfortunately, things are not quite as they seem and Kim has relapsed. She was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold at the beginning of September. This came after she refused to exit a Hilton hotel when she was seen acting out of sorts. Luckily, when she was released, Kyle allowed her sister to move into one of her properties but that became problematic. The police had been called and it was alleged that her family had cut her off to teach her tough love. Their oldest sister, Kathy Hilton still had hope for Kim but how is Kyle doing?
According to Page Six, she is standing by her sister because they are family. She opened up at Us Weekly’s Reality Stars of the Year party about Kim:
“You know, we are a family, [so] when something’s going on with one of us, we all sort of stick together and circle around each other and try to be there and lift each other up. So that’s what I’ve been trying to do.”
Kyle Richards also noted she and Kathy Hilton have been working together on this to forge ahead and make it better for Kim. Sadly, this is something that cannot be handled privately as Kyle wishes it could be.
A Public Affair
Since Kyle Richards and her family are public figures, they cannot deal with tough matters privately. She is well aware that their followers want to know what is going on:
“Of course, you never want to show the most difficult parts of your life, but I don’t have that luxury.”
Furthermore, the cameras have not stopped just because her family is in shambles. Kyle and her husband of nearly thirty years, Mauricio Umansky called it quits in Season 13 of RHOBH. This made her reevaluate if she even wanted to return for another season but she agreed.
Are you shocked by what has gone down with Kim but are you happy she has a solid support system? Let us know in the comments below.
