Kyle Richards Attempts To Eject Sister Kim From Her Home Amid Sobriety Relapse

The Richards family, including Kyle Richards, is putting their foot down against Kim Richards to get her back on sobriety track.

According to new reports, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star attempted to evict her sister from one of her homes after the latter showed up unannounced.

The incident marked the second time authorities have been called to resolve a dispute between Kyle and Kim Richards this month. The first dilemma resulted in the latter's psychiatric hold.

The drama between the siblings went down on Wednesday night after LAPD officers were called to a home Kyle owns in the L.A. area. The plea for help did not come from the reality TV star but from a neighbor wanting Kim out.

According to authorities, neighbors wanted Kim removed from the property because they were concerned about her past behavior. When cops contacted Kyle, she echoed similar sentiments, noting she did not want her sister there.

Kyle reportedly let Kim crash there in the past; however, her appearance at the home on Wednesday night wasn't planned. The concerned sister told officers the Richards family had shut the latter out amid her sobriety relapse.

She told them the family was worried about Kim's survival and hoped this act of tough love would be the wake-up call she needed. Unfortunately, TMZ shared that cops told Kyle it was a civil matter, and she had to file an eviction action to kick her sister out.

Although Kyle could not kick Kim out of her L.A. area, the reverse occurred during the sisters' clash at a Hilton Hotel earlier in September. Authorities revealed they were called and found the latter incoherent.

They asked Kim to leave, but she refused, forcing officers to place her on a 5150 psychiatric hold, and she was taken to a hospital by ambulance. This isn't the first time the TV personality's drinking problems have made waves.

Kim’s alcohol issues resulted in a complicated relationship with Kyle, which fans witnessed on the season 1 finale of “RHOBH.” The siblings got into a massive fight over the former’s addiction.

Years later, their relationship remains strained, with Kim revealing in 2023 that she hadn't spoken to Kyle in months. She did not reach out to her sister even after her separation from her longtime spouse, Mauricio Umansky, became public.

In 2022, The Blast reported that Kyle reflected on having her sisters — Kim and Kathy Hilton — star in the "RHOBH" series. Kim joined her on the Bravo show in its first season and stayed on till season five, while Hilton joined seasons 11 and 12 as a "friend of the cast."

Since joining, Kyle and Hilton's relationship visibly deteriorated, with cameras capturing multiple disputes between them. When asked if she regretted starring in the reality TV series with her siblings, Kyle confessed, "Of course."

She argued that her most challenging seasons as a housewife were the ones her sisters starred in, saying: "My most difficult reunions were [Seasons] 5 and 12. No coincidence there." Kyle noted that season 12's reunion special was the worst.

The "RHOBH" season 12 reunion special was split into three parts, with Kyle confessing that she wasn't looking forward to watching and reliving the final part of the reunion episode.

Kyle confessed that she dreaded it so much she would "rather watch 'The Exorcist' on repeat." She doubled down on the problematic episode, saying: "It was really bad for me. It was very emotionally draining."

According to the TV personality, filming the reunion special was so "painful" that she had difficulty keeping it together. She compared the experience to starring with Kim on the Bravo series, noting:

"The emotions that I was feeling were coming from: 'I've already been down this road with my family before.'"

Kyle shared that whenever she and Hilton had an issue, their children and cousins always ensured they reconciled. However, her rift with her sister in 2022 was so bad their loved ones could not interfere.

Despite their differences, Kyle wished to reconcile with her sisters for her children's sake. She noted her kids loved their aunts and admitted that her nieces and grandnieces were equally important to her.

At the time, she said, "Family is family," and hoped the sisters would reunite in the future. Will Kim Richards' sobriety problems stop her from fixing her relationship with Kyle Richards?
