‘RHOBH’ Star Kim Richards Speaks Out About Pitbull Attack Lawsuit

Kim Richards’ pit-bull Kingsley has caused quite a stir over the past couple of days. For those who missed it, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star became the center of controversy when her pit-bull attacked her “lifelong friend” and “second mother,” Kay Rozario, back in March. Now, Rozario has reportedly filed a lawsuit for injuries she sustained during the attack.

According to Radar Online, the 50-year-old reality star is now addressing the lawsuit and the previous incident.

Here’s her statement:

“I was shocked to learn that life long family friend Kay Rozario is bringing suit against me for an incident that took place in March. Mrs. Rozario has long played an important part in my life and is someone that I have looked at as a second mother. When the bite occurred I offered immediately to handle any and all costs associated with the hospital visit but was told that would not be necessary and there was nothing she needed me to do because insurance covered all costs,” her statement read.

“Her details of what happened that morning are vehemently not true, she walked into my bedroom the next morning reaching across Kingsley towards me and Kingsley went after her. She was fully aware that I had a dog before she came to town and saw him upon her arrival. In the past Mrs. Rozario has sold multiple stories involving my family and myself and was paid for her participation in a book about my family,” Richards said.

“This event took place on the morning of the first time I saw her in over 10 years after a reconciliation for her part in the book. It’s unfortunate how people can go against decades of friendship when something like this happens and make their rounds to the media for money.”

Then, to make matters worse, the dog reportedly attacked Richards’ own daughter Alexia on Saturday, November 8. The most recent attack is the second attack of a close relative, and the dog’s fifth attack overall. According to People Pets, Richards may be forced to put the dog down.
