RHOBH: Kim Richards’ cocktail of prescription drugs caused erractic behavior, not alcohol or meth

Everyone remembers the shocking moment when Kim Richards’ own sister accused her of being an alcoholic during the season finale of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Then, after they wrapped filming, Kim went to rehab, but checked herself out after a week.

But when the new season started filming again, Kim seemed more out of it than ever. She misses many of the pre-arranged Housewives engagements, and when she’s there, she’s late and appears intoxicated. Sometimes she slurs her words, appears more animated than normal, and during the infamous “game night,” she went to the bathroom numerous times; leading Brandi Glanville to accuse her of being on meth. She’s also been cagey with her sister Kyle about the details of an impending move, which turned out to be her trepidation about introducing sister Kyle to her new boyfriend Ken.

On the very first season of RHoA Sheree bragged about hopefully getting a “seven-figure settlement” from Bob, a former NFL offensive tackler.

But this paled in comparison to their riffing on MTV’s own reality TV world. Check out the full episode with highlights and catch the best Deena Jersey Shore zing I’ve ever heard.
