‘RHOBH’ Kim Richards’ Ex Monty Brinson Dies At 58 Of Cancer


So very sad. RHOBH Kim Richards’ ex-husband and BFF, Monty Brinson, has lost his fight against cancer at the age of 58. Friends say that although Brinson had been ill for some time, Richards is still devastated. Family and friends are worried about Richards at this time, but say she has been in a good place.

According to the Inquisitr, there has been concern for Richards’ sobriety since Brinson’s cancer went from his lungs to his brain. Monty Brison had been living with Richards since he got ill. Richards and Brinson share one daughter, Brooke Brinson.

People Magazine is reporting that Richards and Brinson appeared to be an unlikely couple, as she is very petite, and Brinson was tall and lanky. The couple was married for three years, but have remained close over the years.The two were able to celebrate their birthdays together in 2015 for the last time.

“Having you here Monty is the best give of all,” Richards captioned a picture of them with their arms around each other on her birthday in September. “I love you so much.”

It seems that Richards always had a soft spot for Brinson, and savored the time they had left together.

“Monty… Happy BD … Star light, Star bright, first Star I see Every night… Always know your (sic) in My Heart,” she wrote. “I love you so much. We have come so far, let’s keep it going.I’m right by your side forever! I wish for you happiness,courage, peace,laughter,love, strength and Every you’ve EVER DREAMED OF!!!!”

Richards’ RHOBH friend, Brandi Glanville, explained that Brinson’s cancer was inoperable.

“They can’t operate on it, so they’re going to do some radiation and steroid treatment to try to shrink it,” Glanville, 42, said. “He is the sweetest soul. You can’t help but love Monty. He’s always kind to everyone across the board. He’s a good solid guy.”

Brinson continued to have a great attitude, though he spent his last Christmas in the hospital.

“I’m fighting I’m not a quitter and no matter what you go through don’t be a quitter,” he wrote. “So I will be celebrating Christmas in the hospital this year. Tomorrow I’m going to get Christmas Tree sent to my room and celebrate life. Then I’m going to decorate my room like a fine resort. I’m going to make the best of it.”

Us Magazine made the announcement that Brinson had passed away via his former brother-in-law, Rick Hilton.

“We have lost Monty Brinson after a brave battle with cancer. His heart was a big as the moon and he was loved by all he Met. He will be sorely missed. I love You always!”

And as much as Richards loved Brinson, Brinson seems to have felt the same about Richards, as he continued to dedicate photos on Instagram to her, trying to explain their relationship.

“One day the people that didn’t believe in you will tell everyone how they met you. That quote is in honor of @kimrichards11,” Brinson captioned a throwback picture with Richards on Instagram in August. “All I will say at this time besides being best friends, and personally a person who has a great heart is thankful to all her fans and friends for believing in her. Personally I have not seen her but we speak everyday. Do I know everything absolutely. Do I take up for my family and friends absolutely. Do I say it like it is. Absolutely.”

Hopefully, the family will continue to think fondly of Brinson, and find a way to heal from their loss.
