We have talked a lot about Kim Richards lately. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star spent the entire season of the show threatening and vilifying anyone that accused her of falling off the wagon, only to then get popped for a DUI. Richards managed to alienate most of her Bravo costars, with the exception of Brandi Glanville, who is also always a lightening rod for drama. While Glanville never actually accused her friend of anything on camera, she knew what addiction looks like and wasn't fooled for a minute.
In a recent podcast, Glanville explained that she never felt like she was enabling Richards, but simply understands that it's impossible to force someone to get help.
"My thing is, you can't help somebody that doesn't want help. And if they say, "I'm fine," then in their head, they're fine. And there's nothing you can do until they say 'I want to get help. I think I have a problem.' It's not anyone's job to point it out because they're in denial and they, you know, they just don't believe it themselves yet. So for me, I never saw her drink, I never saw her do anything. I never saw her do a drug. Did I see odd behavior? I did. But until she says to me, 'There's something wrong. I need help,' it's not my place to go and say, 'You have a problem,' because all that does is make, shut me down to her, she walks away from me and then she has nobody." said Glanville.
It's interesting, because while Glanville was very willing to support Richards, she also has said that she might be the worst person for her because she still likes to drink quite a bit herself. It's true that Glanville still parties quite often and her cast mates have accused her in the past of being an alcoholic. Do you think that she might be one of the worst people for Richards to befriend and if so, do you think that she helped her to start drinking again.
Richards has gone to rehab, although some sources say that it's not because she thinks she has a problem, but because she wants to look better for her court date. Glanville seems to still be in pretty close contact with her as well. Do you think that their friendship will continue once Richards leaves rehab? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
