Kim Richards Reacts To Scene With Brandi Glanville And Yolanda Foster Where Brandi Wears Tank Poking Fun At Sobriety
Is Kim Richards mad or offended that Brandi Glanville wore a tank top that made fun of sobriety to their picnic outing with Yolanda Foster? Apparently not, since she publicized the scene and posted a snap shot of Brandi wearing the tank. On Tuesday, the night the latest The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode aired, Kim posted a photo of her with Brandi and Yolanda filming the picnic scene.
Kim reminded her fans that her picnic scene with Brandi and Yolanda was airing that night. Kim also made clear that she still considers Brandi and Yolanda to be good friends who have her back, by including the hashtags “#friendship” and “loya[l]ty.”

Kim’s photo received a lot of comments from people that criticized Brandi’s choice to wear that tank top to the outing. They wrote that Brandi wearing such a tank was inappropriate and made light of Kim’s struggle with addiction and sobriety. Some people told Kim that she should not be okay with a supposed friend wearing such a thing to film the show.
What did Brandi’s tank say?
“It’s not fun to be sober.”
Brandi actually has an online T-shirt line and the sobriety tank top is one of her offerings. Since photos of the scene emerged in the media in November 2015, Brandi has been promoting the tank top and telling people where and how they can order it. Brandi offered a discount and revealed that she received a lot of orders for her business.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Brandi Glanville, right after photos emerged of the scene last November, said that Kim Richards has a great sense of humor.
As the scene aired, Brandi defended her T-shirt line with its outrageous sayings. Brandi tweeted that it’s better to just own one’s issues and wear it across the chest rather than hide it.
The entire point of my t-shirt line is that talking behind peeps backs does no good!FU we will just own it& wear it across our chest's #REAL

Brandi explained that if people are going to talk negatively about you, you might as well put the criticism on a shirt to show that you’re not bothered. Brandi maintained that she respects sobriety and has many sober friends.
Let's be clear I respect sobriety &have many sober friends!That said if peeps are gonna talk BS about u… 1up them & put it on a shirt ?

Indeed, one of Brandi’s closest friends is Jennifer Gimenez, a model and TV personality who is an addiction educator and advocate and overcame addition herself to be sober for many years. She frequently appeared alongside Brandi on previous seasons of Real Housewives. One scene showed her counseling Brandi on Kim’s sobriety.

Brandi also retweeted one tweet that pointed out that Kim can’t drink a shirt and that no one was bothered when her sister, Kyle Richards, served alcohol at a party.

In response to one person who tweeted that it was wrong for her to wear the tank, Brandi replied that the tank was about her, not Kim.
@AlyJacobs727 @KimRichards11 it wasnt about her it was about me.

As for her friendships with Yolanda and Kim, Brandi declared that they’re real friends who don’t play chess with one another. Was Brandi’s tweet a dig at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills starring cast members, who are currently split between Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, and Kathryn Edwards on one side and Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson, Yolanda Foster, and Erika Girardi on the other due to the Munchausen drama?
I love my girls @YolandaHFoster and @KimRichards11 no chess playing In our game #realfriends

During their latest The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills scene together, Yolanda Foster criticized some of the other women, who were continuing their vacation in Dubai, to Brandi Glanville and Kim Richards.
“It seems like they’re not about fixing people anymore. If somebody can’t, can’t help you anymore, is not good, they toss you aside and they get on with life, with new wives, new friends, new toys, new this, and you know, like nobody stays together.”
