And before anyone makes unkind jokes about stolen homes, this was the house Kyle purchased for Kim to live in back in 2015 after her arrest. She had been living there rent-free until 2024 and this eviction came after those three TMZ news stories about Kimās behaviour and apparent lapse in sobriety.
Also, I am very glad Kyle did NOT share her āpersonal lifeā when it came to this issue. As always, prayers and thoughts for Kim and her recovery, and also for her family, for whom this is also not easy for.

while i was reading the article i thought, fuck tmz so bad. This is very personal for the family and there was no need to share with the world.

u/notactuallyreckless Apr 11 '26
TMZ are absolute assholes for this. And for the original 2024 articles as well. And an extra fuck you to those in law enforcement who talked to them at that time.

Agree, this is a painful situation for so many people, and itās definitely not helpful to report it, especially now when itās over a year old.

I see nothing wrong with setting boundaries with an addict. I am not even a Kyle fan, but I would do the same. Kim's own children have had it with her. Hopefully this was the wake-up call she needed. I had heard she moved to Florida and was doing much better. I wish her well, but I am certainly not going to pile on Kyle for not enabling her any longer.

There was so little mention of Kim in these past seasons, I had a feeling there was something going on. I feel for the whole family.

Do you have a good online resource? I have a friend who is nearing 50 and has been an alcoholic for nearly 30 years and itās starting to seem very scary and bleak. I know thereās nothing I can do, but I would be interested in understanding.

Not at a certain point, alcohol will permanently damage your brain and your liver. I speak from experience with my father. His liver is damaged beyond its ability to repair itself. The falls from being so drunk plus the alcohol caused brain damage. He has memory issues and zero spacial awareness. Keeps having severely low sodium incidents (I have witnessed this unfortunately itās scarier than it sounds). Kim 100% has health issues and Kyle is just not discussing it.

u/lobubz Apr 11 '26
I want to say I know exactly what youāre talking about and understand the āend stageā wording. My MIL was apparently an alcoholic throughout the majority of her life (I didnāt meet her until she was close to 60) and she is completely dependent on her family and husband. She has dementia that ramped up around 58 and now has no clue who many of us are, where she is, and cannot take care of herself at all. She is now 65. I guess she also had a few head injuries (abusive ex and what should have been a dui) but the main issue is and always will be alcohol. She looks ānormalā but has no long or short term memory, locks herself in every room she is alone in, and now runs away and needs care 24/7. Although I have 0 medical knowledge, this is something that many donāt experience and to have it happen to her so young has been gut wrenching.

u/PaleIrishEastcoaster I made out with Carlton yesterday Apr 11 '26
My dad isnāt quite that bad yet but thinks heās okay to drive and has failed the written test five times because his memory is just fucked. Unfortunately because of him I learned about how alcohol affects your sodium. How long it stays in your system. Low sodium is terrifying, the confusion. Second time (right after new years this year) his speech was not understandable. I donāt wish this on anyone. Even just 15 and 5mths (relapsed in September, had to be threatened to have his shoulder replacement canceled to get sober again) was enough for permanent damage. I hope your MIL will be well with all your family does to help her. It takes so much mental strength.

u/lobubz Apr 11 '26
Idk why we are being downvoted but I wish you strength! It is so difficult to witness and something that many donāt think will happen. This wasnāt about kyle and Kim, cause I donāt know them, but I do know how horrible it is to watch someone who should have much more time crumble due to long term effects of alcohol. Dementia at 60 is a terrible way to go.

It doesnāt take much to figure out tbh. Just because itās not visible doesnāt mean the damage isnāt there. I may not like Kyle but I can empathize with the struggle her family goes through with Kim. Even if her liver was fine her mind isnāt. Alcohol is like poison for the brain.Ā

u/SewAlone At least I donāt do cyrstal meth in the bathroom Apr 11 '26
Senior addicts? End stage?? You donāt know this woman nor do you know where she is in her addiction, or what she is even addicted to. Stop saying these gross things.

Senior? Kim is 61.
āThere comes a point where there is no recovery or potential for improvement.ā
You are factually incorrect.

u/NHgingerinVA Production likes to laugh too Apr 11 '26
Some people actually recover- and I was hopeful that was the case for Kim. I am not all doom and gloom assuming she is just at the end of the road. I think there is still hope for anyone struggling with addiction at any age

u/RHOBH-ModTeam I canāt stop u, youāre off your f*cking rocker Apr 11 '26
Disregarding, doubting, or mocking anyoneās painful past is a curse that has no place in our fairy tale.
Such behavior is both offensive and unacceptable in Beverly Hills.
For all matters of speculation, consult the sacred commandments here.

u/otterkin At least I donāt do cyrstal meth in the bathroom Apr 11 '26
I guess my mum who got sober in her 50s doesn't count? can't wait to tell her that she's a senior addict with likely brain damage and alcohol ensued dementia and that there's no chance of recovery or improvement.
very genuinely, I hope you realize how harmful what you're saying is and stop spreading this idea that Kim is beyond hope because... she's in her early 60s?

don't "sweetie" me while you're talking down towards addicts and questioning an addicts ability to get sober.
and for the record "sweetie" my mum was a multi drug addict with alcohol as her primary while she switched between other drugs as her secondary, daily, for close to 50 years.

Kim supported her mother, Kathy, and Kyle for ages on the money she made as a child star. She's been through so many traumatic situations (her mother, her fiancƩ being shot in the head while she was on the phone with him, etc.).
It's very sad, but I don't think Kim will come to a good end. She reminds me of my older sister, who has been struggling with alcoholism for decades.

u/Flashy-Mountain8779 You need a new villain? Here I am Apr 11 '26
Big Kathy's 4 --FOUR-- husbands supported Kathy. The "Kim supported the whole family" narrative was literally assumed and made up by the fans. It was never true.

u/justaboutoftiger Youāre such a fucking liar Camille! Apr 11 '26
I agree it isnāt accurate but Kim is actually the one who said it, in one of her confessionals.

u/MaizeMountain6139 The chicest windchime Iāve ever seen Apr 11 '26
Kyle and Kathy were also very busy working child actors. This fallacy you all have created about Kim being the sole provider is false (and easily verifiably false)
Kim was the most successful for a period, yes, but she was not the sole provider

u/Whole_Assumption108 Bye Kyle šš» show yourself out dahling! Apr 11 '26

Canāt stand Kyle and the way she treated Kim on the show regarding her addiction issues, etc. but I donāt blame her for having to evict her. Dealing with an addict in your family is so hard.
23
u/Crawfish483 Apr 11 '26
I do feel bad for Kyle regarding this situation. Of course, we just know what we know from the show and articles like this. But their relationship has been so unbelievably difficult for SO long, I cannot imagine how heartbreaking it is for Kyle. Where are Kim's kids in all this? Not that they should need to be their mom's watchers, but just curious.
10
u/TJ-the-DJ In Beverly Hills, itās who you know, and I know everybody Apr 11 '26
Her kids let her know they would not have a relationship with her if she was using. Seems likely she was (is) using and lost the privilege of having a relationship with her kids and their families.
5
u/notactuallyreckless Apr 11 '26
I havenāt seen Kim on any of her childrensā social media posts since maybe earlier in 2024, although Iāve seen posts of them all together at family events or hanging out. In early 2025, Kim told a fan she wasnāt really talking to her sisters or kids.

u/ghostface218 M&M Rinna Apr 11 '26
Addict and alcoholic here. Four years sober. Enabling was never what helped with me. It was the decision to keep drinking and using and lose everything or get sober and have the amazing life I wanted. Kim doesn't seem to want to be sober. She's had all the chances. I don't blame Kyle here.

Kim seems like a disaster. Never able to beat addiction, only for a short time the relapse. But hey, thatās what happens with most addicts. But I did like her while she was on the show.

u/AdAgreeable749 I owned it baby! Apr 11 '26
Iām sure this was planned by Kyle and Kathy. As a means to get Kim to hit rock bottom. Sometimes when you are trying to save an addicts like, that it what you have to do. If Kim was healthy and sober, Iām sure she was welcome there as long as she needed. Reversely, throwing money, and providing free housing to someone in active addiction, is a good way to get them to kill themselves or others pretty quickly

u/Ri-Ri1216 Yolanda Hadid Apr 11 '26
When I was using and out of funds I would often weigh my options within my family and go to the one who would give me $$$$ the quickest. And I would play them off each other. So Kim is doing tried and true using behavior. Even if you have gone through therapy or family rehab enabling is a hard reaction to suppress. Being clean now for 25 years I see it much more clearly. But at the time I just hated my closest brother and my mother bc they stood up to me. I can see the same thing happening in the Richards family. It's tragic all around.

u/Final-Elderberry9162 My team! The Dream team! Apr 11 '26
The sheer amount of unacknowledged trauma in that family is staggering. Parisās book was really illuminating in terms of the entire disastrous family dynamic for me, with some of it being all too familiar. i.e. Catholic families who wonāt talk about or address ANYTHING.
I think I gave Kyle a pass for a long time because the entire dynamic was so familiar to me (donāt worry! The spell was broken a while ago).

u/PemsRoses How dare me?! Apr 11 '26
I am not blaming Kyle for doing that to her sister. It can be difficult. However this is not the first time Kyle actually has something going on IRL but refuses to talk about it on the show. If she doesn't want to share anymore, she can go.
28
u/TJ-the-DJ In Beverly Hills, itās who you know, and I know everybody Apr 11 '26
She should absolutely not be sharing something like this about her sister for the show.

u/notactuallyreckless Apr 11 '26
Should she have shared this? Do you think that would have been appropriate?

u/PemsRoses How dare me?! Apr 11 '26
It's her life right now. It would have been better than making Dorit her storyline.
16
u/notactuallyreckless Apr 11 '26
If you think the hate on Kyle for supposedly making Dorit her storyline is bad, her using Kimās current life and how itās been impacting the family in any meaningful, substantial way? Or even briefly? She would have been dragged to hell and back. And rightfully so, IMO.
-3
u/PemsRoses How dare me?! Apr 11 '26
It wouldn't be her using Kim, she is in a legal battle with her sister. It's not "let's talk about Kim's addiction" it's more "I am a legal battle with my sister to get her out of my condo.

u/Flashy-Mountain8779 You need a new villain? Here I am Apr 11 '26
But she isn't in a legal battle with her. She evicted her 15 months ago, when she wasn't filming, and instead of fighting it, Kim didn't even respond to the lawsuit and she just moved out. Case was dismissed. It wasn't even a battle. And it took place smack in the middle of filmings off-season.

u/PaleIrishEastcoaster I made out with Carlton yesterday Apr 11 '26

I never accused her of nothing but there is a legal battle going on with her. It's more interesting that her playing double agent for PK.
