Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on December 6, Kathy said Kim is thriving. “She’s doing really well,” she confirmed.

When the interviewer brought up the ongoing fan requests for Kim to rejoin RHOBH, Kathy acknowledged that she hears those wishes constantly. “All the time,” she said of the fan buzz.

Still, she doesn’t believe Kim will ever be back in front of the Bravo cameras. “I don’t think it’s for her,” Kathy explained, agreeing that the invasive nature of reality filming isn’t something Kim wants to take on again. She added that Kim’s acting skills give her other avenues: “And she’s a very talented actress, too, so it’s, I don’t know. I don’t think she really is interested.”

For now, Kathy is enjoying season 15 with sister Kyle Richards still in the mix — plus a few fresh faces joining the lineup. “It’s so much fun. We have three new girls. Rachel is like family, so, and then the two new girls, Natalie and Amanda, they’re wonderful,” she shared.

At least Kathy is the one watching out for her. If it were Kyle, Kim would be dragged back on to the show just to give Kyle a story line.

Kyle can't be trusted when it comes to Kim. What she did to her mentally ill sister on camera was horrible. Same for Rinna. I stopped watching a lot of BH because of that. It just crossed a line.

Man, addiction and mental illness sure does take a toll on a person's looks. It seems unconscionable to me that such high profile (and insanely wealthy) women like Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards would allow their (equally famous) middle sister to go around looking like that. Although it is entirely possible that the lady herself simply doesn't care. Such a shame if that's the case, because at 61, this is Kim's last hurrah.

I always think the same thing too. I wonder though if Kim can't have elective cosmetic surgery due to her past addiction to pain killers. But she could get less invasive treatments like botox , skin laser etc...and also have her hair and makeup done. I agree, she doesn't look well. You can see it in her eyes. Sad.

You raise a good point about the pain killers which BTW, suggests she was? indeed addicted to drugs as well. It was certainly suggested on the show, but never really acknowledged by either Kim or Kyle. They only owned her alcoholism.

Kim is not well and should never be on Reality TV again. It was horrible to watch her being used by Bravo for Kyle's and Rinna's story line. Quite frankly, it was outrageous that Bravo and her sister got away with that. Wishing her all the best.
