Kyle Richards Urging Sister Kim to Return To Rehab For Mental Health & Sobriety Issues 'It’s going to be an ongoing conversation,' says a source.

Enough is enough!

Kyle Richards is urging her troubled sister Kim, who has struggled with substance abuse issues in the past, to return to treatment.

“Kyle became aware that Kim was struggling in recent weeks and got extremely concerned based on what she was hearing,” a source told Us Weekly, noting that Kim, 54, isn’t “doing well” right now.

According to the source, the sisters have been “living their own lives for some time now,” but are on good terms with each other.

“It’s going to be an ongoing conversation, but the good news is that Kim is being extremely receptive to Kyle, recognizing she is coming from a place of love,” the insider said. “Kyle isn’t giving up and is trying again to get Kim to agree. It’s more for mental health than sobriety issues.”

Kim, 54, has not yet checked into treatment, according to sources.

In 2012, Kim spoke candidly about her battle with alcoholism after Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. After completing a stint in rehab, the former child actress relapsed in 2015. She was subsequently arrested for public intoxication that April after a confrontation with police at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And later that year, Kim was accused of stealing nearly $600 worth of items from Target.

The reality TV personality, who was ordered to attend AA meetings and complete 450 hours of community service, was officially off probation in September 2018.

The siblings’ relationship, which was documented on the first five seasons of RHOBH, has been affected by Kim’s struggles in the past. The two women went head-to-head during the Season 1 finale after former American Woman producer Kyle, 50, outed her sister as an alcoholic.

More recently, Kyle credited the Bravo series for saving Kim’s life during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Jenny McCarthy Show in June.

“If anything, being on the show made her accountable and she says that as well,” Kyle has explained. “She says that it saved her life because, you know, there’s nowhere to hide and everyone knows — now anywhere she goes, people know who she is. She can’t get away with anything! So it actually helped her!”
