Kim Richards admits to being an alcoholic
Kim Richards may have denied alcoholism and drug addiction while filming episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but now she’s opening up and telling the truth.
Perez Hilton reported Paris Hilton’s aunt admitted to Bravo’s Andy Cohen in a reunion episode for the show that she does have problems.
“I’m an alcoholic,” the 47-year-old said. “I have so much guilt and shame for my behavior and what I did. And then I drank to cover the guilt and shame.”
According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Richards has been in rehab three times for treatment, and believes that she won’t be going back for a fourth time.
“I’m a person that has done it and relapsed and done it. But at least I’m trying,” she said. “I felt off. I just didn’t like me anymore and I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror anymore.”
Richards also said that she couldn’t bear watching herself on the show and that her decline in confidence from the beginning of the second season to the end is very evident.
“The voice wasn’t mine, the mannerisms weren’t mine. It just wasn’t me,” she said.
As for her season two boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld, Richards said she is no longer seeing him and has moved out. Instead, she is now focused on reconnecting with her children.
I gotta say that it was brave of her to finally tells the truth about her being an alcoholic. I hope she gets help and gets better soon..
