From the looks of her aborted Dr. Phil interview, Kim Richards is nowhere near ready to talk about her recent Beverly Hills arrest, which was reportedly prompted by the former child star's binge watching all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 reunion episodes at once. According to the latest gossip news updates, however, Kyle's volatile sister is going to have to talk about the whole experience at some point if she wants to return to the show when it starts shooting again in late 2015, whether she likes it or not. In a related story, Donald Trump's drunk Celebrity Apprentice, Brandi Glanville, is also feeling a bit of a backlash following Kim's very public relapse as fans insist she let her friend down on Twitter.
Dr. Phil may have been able to make Here Come Honey Boo Boo's "Mama" June Shannon look like even more of a fool after her reality TV fall for grace, but Kim Richards turned out to be much more elusive prey.
A source close to Kim explained Richard's talk show walk-off to Perez Hilton -- revealing that the Real Housewife would have never agreed to do the show in the first place if she had realized what the host was planning to pull when she got there:
"Kim went into the interview with an open mind and genuinely wanting to do the interview but once she got there she became very upset and frustrated.
"Her frustration grew because she began to realize what she was in for.
"Her kids were starting to talk like it was an intervention and Kim couldn't handle it.
"You could tell she felt cornered and hadn't realized what she had signed up for."
Unfortunately for Kim, she may soon find herself forced to talk about the incident and every embarrassing situation leading up to it, if she wants to continue working with Bravo.
A Beverly Hills behind-the-scenes production spy told Radar Online, that the network was scared to death by Kim's nonchalant attitude towards her alcoholism and is demanding that she first seek professional help if she plans to return to the show in the fall:
"Obviously, Bravo bosses are not taking kindly to her right now.
"Instead of Kim taking responsibility for her actions to her bosses and simply saying 'sorry,' she has been incredibly adamant that this is 'not that big of a deal.'
"They are also demanding that she go to treatment, either in-patient or out-patient.
"But if she wants to remain on the show she will need to go and get some help."
It turns out that some of Kim's social media fans are a little more understanding than Bravo and are now blaming Brandi Glanville for Richards' irresponsible actions.
Real friends are their in the good times,the bad times &especially the worst times.I am blessed with real friends & am a real friend myself

As the super-sleuths at Inquistir point out, the Twitter trolls accuse Glanville of everything from being a bad influence to purposefully getting Kim drunk to increase ratings in the ugly internet tirades:
"Was getting Kim drunk your way of having a storyline? You're no friend especially not to Kim. You helped ruin her life...you are toxic."
"You created a monster in Kim this season with your toxicity leave her alone and let her family look after her."
"[Brandi] got her drunk."
The fans seem rather hard on Brandi Glanville...after all, she may wind up being that one that has to drive Kim to her meetings.
