The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ~ New Season

Imagine being constantly questioned about your sobriety, when you've been sober for three years - with the exception of that one pain pill. Obviously, Kim knows that was a mistake, but does she really need to now have the morality police question her at every turn? I really think Lisa R. has taken it way too far in her constant interrogations of Kim. It doesn't matter if Lisa's had relatives die from overdoses, etc. That doesn't have anything to do with Kim and she needs to stop bringing it up. If pushed that far, I probably would have reacted the same way as Kim - furious, and with good reason. Of course, I don't know what she was referring to about Lisa's husband, and whatever it was was below the belt, but I understood what she meant when she said that the only way she can be heard is to react in that way. No one will drop the subject of her sobriety, so she has to finally explode to get their attention.

What did Lisa R. mean when she said, "Stay away from my husband" - I didn't get that at all. Also, how fun can it be to vacation with a group of people you're constantly screaming at? It's so strange to me. Though they did look like they were having a great time on the bike trip to the windmills.

As for Brandi - what was she upset about? That the women have all done pot but don't admit to it on camera? It's weird to see Brandi being sober this whole trip - so different from her usual drunken rages.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm no fan of Kim's, but can totally see how she would finally lose it. Enough about her sobriety, already!

Kim has brought this whole thing on herself. SHE is the one who said she took a pill the night of the poker game. Now, if someone asks if she has a sponsor she is appalled. You took a pill Kim. Own it and get yourself back to rehab. Now, onto the Monty business. If you loved him so much, WHY DID YOU DIVORCE HIM?? I don't know why Kyle lets her sister get away with all this crap. The other sister (the Hilton) seems to stay out of the chaos.

In addition to being an addict, Kim also appears to suffer from psychological problems, which I think is the underlying issue. I would guess she has a personality disorder.

Kim provokes and concerns others with her unstable and disturbing behavior, and instead of acknowledging her role in creating the situation, she chooses to focus on the reactions of other people independent of her behavior.

She sees her emotions and feelings as a carte blanche to say whatever she pleases without ever stopping to think about how her actions affect other people. She, like Brandi, feels justified in saying whatever she wants when she feels hurt, and she doesn't take responsibility for her role in creating the situation.

It's not reasonable to act doped up, say nasty things to another person (Lisa R and Kyle) out of NOWHERE and then get angry and defensive when people question your behavior and sobriety. If you don't want people to acknowledge the elephant in the room, then stop bringing the elephant in the room. This is incredibly childish and narcissistic.

Kim somehow thinks that Lisa R is hurting her children by being concerned if Kim is using, even after Kim admitted to using something? If anyone has hurt Kim's children, it's Kim. Once again Kim refuses to take responsibility for her actions (which is probably the most important thing one must do to truly recover from addiction). Kim is a very sick woman.

Totally agree. The thing is, her kids wouldn't cut her off because someone accused her of not being sober. They would drop her because she's not actually sober. Any intelligent person would realize that. And she took the pill- I think it's pretty unheard of for addicts to just be able to pop pills when they want and jump back on the wagon. Lisa has ever right to be concerned especially with her history.

I can only imagine how awful Kim has been to her kids during arguments, after seeing this. It really makes me feel so bad for them. She just seems to be totally without any kind of filter or scruples about what you cannot say to another human being.

Lisa is tiny but she doesn't strike me as dramatically thinner than some of the other women. Brandi and Yolanda are also quite thin, but I've heard reference to Lisa's size discussed more than once. What gives? Is my perception skewed or is Lisa so much thinner than the others that Kim feels she can use it as a jab.

I don't remember what she said specifically but A few episodes ago Lisa R made a comment about how she never allows herself to indulge and that's the only way she stays thin. I think she's on a pretty restricted diet and it's not a secret.

She looks awful. Like a ring wraith. She really does need to eat some bread. I also think that her whole persona comes off as fake all the time--like you absolutely never see the real person behind the veil.

Here's a pretty interesting look at Lisa Rinna and the whole episode of the glass throwing:

I kind of agree with most of what's written. Rinna HAS been struggling to be relevant.

I completely disagree with most of this. Yes, Kim took a pain pill and absolutely shouldn't have. But it happened once and the women are never going to let her forget it. I don't believe she's been using at all with the exception of the poker night when she (stupidly) took the pain pill. Every moment of every scene, they are interrogating her about her sobriety - because of that ONE instance. They're absolutely neurotic about it. As for Lisa's history with her brothers-in-law, her husband, and her sister - that's her own burden to carry, not Kim's. She seems to constantly be extrapolating her own experiences onto Kim, whom she really doesn't even know. I hate it when people say, "Well, this and this happened to ME, so I have to keep talking about it to make sure it doesn't happen to YOU!" I love Lisa R., but this whole "coming from a good place" thing has gotten out of hand. I think Kim told her very clearly and succinctly on the plane to please stop bringing it up, but Lisa just won't back off.

I don't think anyone comes off looking good in this last episode, but if I were Kim, I would have probably reacted in the same way after being constantly hounded at every turn by these women. If she was actually drinking or using again, then sure - they'd have every right to try and get her into treatment. But she's not. She made one dumb mistake and has already owned it. The other women need to find something else to obsessively focus on - like maybe their own lives!

I cannot stand Kim and think she holds no value for the show. They already have a villan with Brandi. But I also can't stand the dynamic between Kyle and Kim. Kim was over the top tonight especially toward Eileen and Lisa R.

Kim's time as a celebrity was a bit before my time, but was she really that famous?

No she wasn't. I'm fairly certain that the only reason she is still on the show is because Kyle threatens to leave every time the producers want to fire her, as all the tabloids have reported.

I dont know what will happen after this season though. I feel like this was just so far over the line.

Brandi may be a pig but at least she adds something to the storyline. For most of the episodes Kim is hardly even around.

I have to disagree. She was a HUGE child star. Huge. One of the biggest child stars of the 70s, I'd say. She was a regular on Nanny & the Professor when she was super young, like 4. And then she was in a lot of Disney stuff, including Escape to Witch Mountain (!), and afterschool specials. Then she was a regular on a couple shows as a teen (James at Sixteen and another one I'm blanking on). Frankly, I think she started having kids to get away from her career. From what I've read, her mother was quite the pushy stage mom. It's sad to me to see her now. I loved her as a child and am sorry that, like so many others, being a child actor didn't let her have a normal childhood and life.

I agree with you. I remember her very well as a child star. Only Jodie Foster and, briefly, Tatum O'Neal eclipsed Kim Richards as a girl star back then. I'm a few years older than they are, so maybe my memory of her is stronger that those born later in the '60s.

I'm 14:47 and wrote my post before reading this article, but I have to say I agree 100% with it! I love Lisa R. and her fun, zany personality, but I do think she's taken Kim's sobriety and tried to make it into her own storyline. I wish she hadn't done that because she's by far my favorite RH. I think she needs to leave Kim alone, frankly.

I don't remember that. But on this episode she was talking about how she never, ever passes up a piece of cake. I know she is vegan, which could be why she is so slim. If you are eating healthy it's hard to gain weight as a vegan.

She was joking to justify eating the moon cake to her kids.

I knew this was the case. Typical of an addict, they will do literally anything to distract from their problems

But to threaten someone's family in order to try to get some kind of petty revenge... That is low. I don't know if Kim is using or not now( my guess is she she is) but I certainly hope she didn't come up with this plan while sober. If she did, she really is an incredibly nasty, cruel person.
