On a recent Wednesday night, law enforcement was called to a home owned by Kim’s sister, Kyle Richards, after a neighbor reported concerns about Kim’s behavior. Although Kyle had previously allowed Kim to stay at her home, the family decided to sever ties in hopes that this tough love approach would encourage Kim to seek sobriety.
When police arrived, they were informed that Kyle did not want Kim in the house. However, since Kim had moved out previously but returned, officers explained that this was a civil matter, and Kyle would need to initiate an eviction process if she wanted Kim to leave.
The situation has escalated. Earlier in September, Kim was found incoherent at a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, prompting Kyle to call the police. Despite the officers' request for her to leave, Kim refused and was subsequently placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, which allows for the involuntary hospitalization of individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others.
Sources close to the family report that Kyle is deeply concerned about Kim's well-being, emphasizing that they fear for her survival given her current state. The complex relationship between the sisters has been under scrutiny since the first season finale of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” where they had a significant argument about Kim's struggles with alcohol.
Last year, Kim revealed that she had not spoken to Kyle in months, even amid Kyle's separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky. The family's efforts to support Kim seem to be at a standstill, leaving many wondering what the future holds for her recovery.
