Kim Richards: The House Kim Built ... and Lost

Kim Richards, the middle sister sandwiched between Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards Umanski, went from a child star to a real housewife, and that transition was anything but smooth. Her life played out on and off the camera in ways that no one could have predicted.

Burdened with the weight of growing up too soon, Kim struggled with alcohol which her sister Kyle made sure the world knew on the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Their fractured relationship would play out for seasons and included house stealing accusations and family fall outs.

But Kim’s problems were more than personal — they were legal and criminal and played out everywhere from the Beverly Hills Hotel to a Target in the Valley. Rebekah delves into all of it starting with a tragedy in her young adulthood that would shape so many of her future decisions — for better or for worse.

But no Kim Richards episode would be complete without a few moments dedicated to the RHOBH moments that still have us talking. We’re looking at you, blue bunny slut pig.
