RHOBH’s Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton Share Update on Sister Kim and Her Sobriety ArticlePure

Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton say their sister Kim Richards is hanging in there.

During the second part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion, the sisters provided an update on how the former reality star was faring after relapsing into her alcohol addiction. Host Andy Cohen brought up reports Kim wasn’t “doing well” and has moved to Florida since the news went public.

“She’s spending time there. You know, I think she’s doing better,” Kathy said before Andy turned towards Kyle.

“Better than the last time there was stuff about her in the press, yes,” the mom of four added.

In September 2024, TMZ reported that Kim and Kyle were involved in a dispute over the former’s relapse into her alcohol addiction. At the time, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE that officers reported to an incident in the Encino area, where a source confirmed Kyle owned a home Kim had been staying in.

Law enforcement responded to “keep the peace” after a female reportedly violated a restraining order. However, after an investigation, they determined there was no order on file and no crime was committed.

Earlier the same month, the outlet also reported that Kim was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and taken to a hospital after exhibiting “incoherent” behavior at a Hilton hotel she was staying in. After her release, Kyle reportedly allowed Kim to stay in her home to help her get back on her feet.

Shortly after the news, a source told PEOPLE that Kim’s “reliance on alcohol has been an ongoing source of conflict between her and her sisters,” with the issue being especially difficult for Kyle.

“It particularly weighs heavily on Kyle, who has always been the worrier of the family,” the insider shared at the time. “She does her best to take care of Kim — and essentially bankrolls Kim’s life, with Kathy — but never knows where the line goes between helping and enabling.”

Noting that Kim was in “a really bad place,” the source said the family was trying to remain tight-lipped about her struggles.

“The family are very private about details, but from the little they’ve said, it’s clear they’ve reached another breaking point with her,” the insider continued, emphasizing how “this has happened before.”
