Former RHOBH star Kim Richards, 60, ‘placed on psychiatric hold’ amid reported ‘substance abuse relapse’

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kim Richards has reportedly suffered a relapse and has been placed in a psychiatric prison.

after he allegedly fell from the vehicle, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said [LAPD] attached to People that the reality star, 60, and her sister, Kyle Richards, 55, were involved in an altercation earlier this week.

On Wednesday, an “incident” occurred between the siblings in Encino, where Kyle “owns a house where Kim recently stayed.”

LAPD officers allegedly “responded to keep the peace after a woman allegedly violated a restraining order.”

After an investigation, officers “determined that no warrant existed and no crime had been committed.”

“Both parties were informed of the eviction process and officers kept the peace,” officials told the newspaper.

However, officials were unable to verify whether it was Kim and Kyle who were “involved in the scuffle.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to both Kim and Kyle’s reps but has not heard back at this time.

Earlier this month, TMZ reported that Kim was placed in a psychiatric facility 5150 and taken by ambulance to a hospital due to her “incoherent” behavior.

At the time, she was reportedly staying at a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

According to NAMI Sonoma County (National Alliance on Mental Illness), “California law allows certain designated professionals to place someone in a 72-hour psychiatric facility.”

During a 5150, an individual is taken into custody and held for up to 72 hours for evaluation.”

During this time, “the institution or hospital is required to conduct an evaluation of that person, taking into account their medical, psychological, educational, social, financial and legal situation.”

According to TMZ, law enforcement sources said Kyle claimed Kim was “in big trouble because of her sobriety” and that their entire family was “concerned about her survival.”

Kim’s struggles with sobriety were documented during her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In the first season of their reality show, which aired in 2010, Kyle accused Kim of being an alcoholic during a tense altercation.

A year later she went to rehab.

In April 2015, Kim was arrested for public intoxication at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That same year, she entered a treatment center in Malibu.

In 2016, she recalled her addiction problems that began after her divorce from her second husband, Gregg Davis in 1991.

“I found myself drinking a lot,” she recalls. “That’s when my problem started.”
