Andy Cohen reveals that Bravo paid for former *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* star Kim Richards' 2011 rehab stint after her drunken exploits aired on season 2 of the show. *“When it was clear that it was a real problem, we wanted to be responsible and we didn’t want to put her in a situation where anything could be exacerbated,”* Andy told author Dave Quinn in the new “Real Housewives” tell-all book, [“Not All Diamonds and Rosé.”](https://www.amazon.com/Not-All-Diamonds-Ros%C3%A9-Housewives/dp/1250765781?tag=pagesix-20&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fpagesix.com%2F2021%2F10%2F26%2Fbethenny-frankel-slams-housewives-book-for-trashing-women%2F&asc_source=web&asc_refurl=https://pagesix.com/2021/11/01/andy-cohen-claims-bravo-paid-for-kim-richards-2011-rehab-stay/&asc_source=web) *“We considered her family and wanted to work with her to get her better. Bravo paid for her rehab,”* he added. RHOBH executive producer Kathleen French noted in the book that *“Kim had mostly kept her shit together through Season 1. Season 2 was the beginning of the spiral down.”* During season 2 Brandi Glanville infamously accused Kim of doing *“crystal meth in the bathroom all night”* at a game night hosted by Dana Wilkey. Kim denied the accusations. Kim's alcoholism played a major role during the first few seasons of RHOBH. Many of the cast members, including her own sister Kyle Richards,  questioned Kim's odd behavior as a result of her drinking. The actress turned reality TV's star's battle with alcohol wasn't officially confirmed until the season 1 finale when Kyle screamed at Kim, *“You act like an insane person. You are a liar and sick and an alcoholic. That’s right. I said it and now everybody knows.”* In a one-on-one interview with Andy post-rehab, Kim admitted that she was an alcoholic. *“I’m an alcoholic,”* Kim revealed in her first interview since rehab.* “I’m an alcoholic.”* She found herself back in rehab in 2015 after going on a drunken rampage at the Beverly Hills Hotel. *“I love sobriety,”* Kim [told Entertainment Tonight](https://www.etonline.com/news/168498_exclusive_kim_richards_opens_up_about_her_arrest_and_struggles_with_alcohol_i_ve_always_loved_sobriety/) in July 2015. *“I’ve always loved sobriety and relapsing was very hard for me. I really wanted to go to treatment because I needed a break from what I was going through at home.”* Part 4 of the *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills *season 11 reunion airs on Wednesday, November 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
