Kim Richards Filming With Yolanda: ‘They Felt Bullied By The Others’
Kim Richards decided that she wasn’t going to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills earlier this season. She hadn’t been feeling well, she was dealing with some arrests, and she was trying to stay sober for the sake of her children. Filming another season of the dramatic reality show may have been too much for Richards. But as it turns out, Richards is back on the show in some regard, because she is friends with Yolanda Foster.
Kim Richards, Yolanda, and Brandi Glanville have all stayed in touch since wrapping up the previous season. Kim may not want to film The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills full-time, but making these smaller appearances is giving her a voice. This way, people won’t just make assumptions about her mistakes and her life.
According to a new Radar Online report, Kim Richards could possibly return to the show again, as producers are seeing the energy she is bringing. Thus far, Kim’s sister Kyle Richards has been filming on her own, and she may have answered questions about her sister in her one-on-one interviews.

Producers needed to “do something to give the audience something to talk about because there was really nothing that exciting going on,” an insider told Radar Online, adding, “It wasn’t until Kim Richards filmed with the cast at sister Kyle’s La Quinta vacation home that producers realized how boring things had been without her. The chemistry between Yolanda Foster and Kim has always been strong, and both have newfound alliances because they felt bullied by the others. Kim and Yolanda have done additional filming and producers have been happy with the results.”
Of course, Kim may have felt bullied because of the way the ladies talked about her drug abuse and drug use. Plus, now that she has been arrested twice, the ladies may have plenty of things to say about her. On the other hand, Yolanda felt similarly. This upcoming season will be plagued with questions about her illness. It is no secret that Foster isn’t doing well, but her co-stars are questioning whether she is truly sick.
“She was beyond hurt after finding out that some of the ladies were asking a lot of questions and even suggesting that she didn’t even have it,” the source had previously told Radar Online, adding, “She was particularly upset with Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna for not sticking up for her when she wasn’t around, and now she is ready to spill all of their dirty secrets!”

The same source has told the tabloid that Kim would want to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, as she wants to address her battle with alcohol and pills. Richards doesn’t want anyone else talking about her personal experiences. And Richards has already started talking about her life. She recently sat down with Dr. Phil to explain her situation, according to Bustle.
“I am an alcoholic,” Kim told Dr. Phil during an interview in April 2015, adding, “I did have drinks a couple other times over the past few months. It was wine. I was ashamed to say anything at the reunion, embarrassed. I was angry and frightened and I was scared. I knew what I had done… None of this would have happened if I didn’t drink.”
Of course, this interview was done prior to her shoplifting incident, but one can hope that she will address her personal issues on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
What do you think of Kim Richards possibly filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Do you think she is the right person to explain her personal issues, or do you think Kyle should speak on her behalf?
