Kim Richards has relapsed after years of sobriety — and was even placed on a psychiatric hold earlier this month, TMZ reported Friday.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 60, was reportedly placed on a 72-hour hold in early September after acting “incoherent” at a Hilton hotel.
The outlet reported that Richards had been staying at the hotel when she began acting out of character.
Police were called and, when the former child star allegedly refused to leave the hotel, she was placed on a 5150 hold and taken away via ambulance, per TMZ.
Kim then moved into a Los Angeles home owned by her younger sister, Kyle Richards, but she left it shortly after.
However, on Wednesday, Kim returned to the home and neighbors called the cops out of concern for her behavior.
When the cops showed up, TMZ reported that authorities were told Kyle did not want Kim in the house as she had been cut off from her family in hopes of getting her sober.
The former Bravo star, who was a full-time cast member on “RHOBH” from Seasons 1 to 5, very publicly dealt with substance abuse issues, as even Kyle outed her as an “alcoholic” in the first season.
However, Kim appeared to turn a corner with Andy Cohen revealing that Bravo previously stepped up to pay for the former’s 2011 rehab stay.
“When it was clear that it was a real problem, we wanted to be responsible and we didn’t want to put her in a situation where anything could be exacerbated,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host, 56, shared in the “Diamonds and Rosé” book.
“We considered her family and wanted to work with her to get her better. Bravo paid for her rehab.”
In 2019, Kyle, 55, credited Bravo with saving her older sister’s life, saying on “The Jenny McCarthy Show,” “If anything, being on the show made her accountable and she says that as well.
“She says that it saved her life because you know, there’s nowhere to hide and everyone knows — now anywhere she goes, people know who she is. She can’t get away with anything! So it actually helped her!”
Kim has not been a full-time cast member on “RHOBH” for many years, but she has made several guest appearances in recent seasons.
It’s unclear when exactly Kim allegedly fell off the wagon.
Last June, Kim, Kyle and their eldest sister, Kathy Hilton, were all seen having fun, singing karaoke together for the former’s daughter Whitney Davis’ wedding weekend.
