“I’m an alcoholic,” are the not so shocking words being uttered by Kim Richards in a newly released clip from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 2 reunion.
Today, Bravo released the first previews for the reunion which will not only be dramatic, but will also be in three parts. While Kim was unable to attend the reunion taping, due to her recent stint in rehab, she did manage to do a sit down interview with Andy Cohen during which she finally admits her drinking problem.
The dramatic preview for the RHOBH 3-part reunion is below. Part I airs Monday, January 30 on Bravo at 9/8c. Part II airs Feb. 6, and Part III airs Feb. 13.
Kim’s substance abuse issues first came to light early last year after her sister Kyle Richards revealed her alcoholism during their big limo fight.
Last week it was reported that Taylor Armstrong was definitely returning for the third season of , but like they say on Project Runway, “One day you’re in, the next day you’re out!”
RadarOnline is reporting that Bravo is seeing the light, listening to the fans and possibly writing Lady Armstrong that severance check!
“Taylor is absolutely freaked out at the possibility of not returning for a third season,” a source reveals. “Even though there has been a ratings bump this season because of the suicide, Taylor knows the criticism she has endured because of the tragedy. Taylor needs this job, she doesn’t have any other source of income, period.”
“She is fearful that producers of the show are going to cut her because she is seen as a liability to the show.” In light of the recent drama surrounding Taylor she may have a point. Additionally, Bravo structured the entire second season of RHOBH around her storyline to great fan dissatisfaction.
Taylor is defending herself against the recent rumors of being fired. “It’s not true,” she told RumorFix. “We have not even been picked up for season three.” While appearing on the Today Show on Tuesday, Andy Cohen announced there will be no cast changes and Bravo has made no decisions about season three. I find that hard to believe in light of the fan reactions to this season!
Finally, Taylor’s memoir Hiding From Reality is due in stores next month and I know y’all are waiting with bated breath to hear what she has to say; so you’re in luck! In order to drum up sales and excitement for the tell-all, Us Weekly is releasing some of the more gory excerpts.
Among her shocking allegations, she insists Russell was going to force her to abort her baby if it wasn’t a girl! “Russell wanted to keep the baby only if it was a girl. Because he already had two boys. At five weeks I took a blood test and mailed in the sample to learn the gender, and fate, of our baby.”
Taylor claims Russell controlled every aspect of her life and she constantly lived in fear of being recorded. “I always assumed I was being recorded in the car and at home,” Taylor’s book reads. “I was always careful to make sure the content of my conversations was very clear.”
The reality star insists her attempts to fight back made matters worse and that Russell’s abuse was calculated. “He would grab my hair and bang my head against the side of the car between the two door. Or against the glass of the passenger window while he was driving, because it made his point to me but didn’t leave a visible mark.”
Asserting that Russell believed he would kill her, Taylor claims he blamed her for his violent outbursts. “Don’t ever do that again because I almost killed you,” Russell reportedly told Taylor. “One of these days I’m afraid I’m going to kill you.”
Taylor realized she needed to leave Russell after his abuse caused her a dislocated cornea that could have left permanent danger. “Hearing that I was in danger of having a lifelong deformity from something that Russell had done to me was enough to finally snap me out of the spell Russell had over me,” she writes. “When my assistant and I got home from my doctor’s appointment, I told her to pack a bag for Kennedy.”
Hiding From Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within hits stores February 7th — just after RHOBH finishes airing!

#441@Nicks:
Thanks so VERY much for Ur words of Care…it’s gotten a little betta’…
__________
I am SO F-ing astonished @ Traylor’s “bounce-off-ability” as @cutie noted earlier her “Story of Woe” is EVERYWHERE and there’s absolutely no other side being represented as far as I can see…..she IS smart, but what’s occuring takes ALOT of coordination on many Levels to attain, it’s actually sickly mesmerizing, how it’s expanding…[kinda like her Lips...lol]…
oops meant *without* Adrienne.
@meinnyc – Glad to hear it is a little better, take it day by day, that is all we have.
I agree with you it takes alot of collaboration and what not to orchestate this BS, alot of peeps with their hand in the money pot.
It will take a few years, but the truth usually ends up coming to light.
OT
kris jenners lover speaks out about continuing affair with kris even after she was in relationship with bruce and how the shows are not good shows and completely made up. Good Read!

and Snoop Dog takes his swipe at kim..calls her a whore and bitch…(like tell us something we don’t know snoop..lol)
Don’t forget, he’s friends with reggie and ray j.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2092718/Snoop-Dogg-brands-Kim-Kardashian-cold-blooded-crude-attack.html
I love snoop Dog
OT, but who cares we are in the 400′s. What did ya’all think of AHS finale?
Taylor really has put these women in bad situations; she was the cause that these women practically ignored Russell. Knowing or rather doubting what she was telling them didn’t quite add up or pan out, I’m sure these women and their husbands must feel an ordinary amount of guilt. Could this be the reason they distance themself from her?
@451..mein..I know..I couldn’t help but notice that tay’s story is reported in every single outlet imaginable…and it is being reported as fact…she has a best seller on her hands…
what book ever from a basic nobody gets this kind of coverage..?…seriously..ever?
#459@cutie:
It’s ALL stemming from the Suicide[if it even was one] the Sensationalism of that, PLUS, the ALLEGED Domestic Violence issue compunds the believability in the Press…2 Heavy Issues that, linked together make “one” feel he killed himself because he was beating her….VERY Dynamic….and, there’s no one discounting it so the Power of the two Issues are Magnified 1000 times……..It’s all win-win for them, really….
Always wondered if Russell had Taylor convinced he was a super rich “richer than Texas” finance guy. And that is why she had to chase him, (her words from the show) and ended up pregnant.
@457 Nicks .liked it alot, and so happy when Jessica won the GG!
#460:
Plus the fact, which has to be taken into account, there’s “only” a couple Million Viewers….and 10′s of MILLIONS of ppl that don’t know of the show, don’t know Trailor, etcetera, etcetera..and all they’re seeing is what is being put out there, and what’s being put out there is “He was heavily in debt, he beat her, and he committed suicide…”………I’d be a Believer also……….
@ JP ~ I dont watch alot of programs basically Bravo and alot of movies, but I absolutely LOVED AHS. I cant wait for it to come back on. I love Jessica Lange so happy for her, but sad that her and Sam broke up. I was shocked
@meinyc and cutie pie ~ plus alot of peeps just watch the show because it is there, they dont analyze like we do. LOL. I can see just casual viewers buying her book for summer vacation or a day on the beach.
#464@Nicks
LOLOL…Scary………LOL….
…and I gotta start ALL OVER AGAIN with AHS…I saw it piecemeal, and couldn’t get WTF was goin’ on…I’m pissed…..lol…
When Andy asked Taylor if she thought Russell was murdered, did any notice the way Taylor gave a large wicked smile? There is something wrong with her. She is dangerous.
464 Nicks… I hope people do appear for Taylor’s book signing, have her sign their books and toss the book back down on the table. Toss the book back at her but don’t hit her. lol
Wish there would be a boycott of DuckBill’s book.
duck bills book is going to be a major best seller…
then…perhaps it will pique enough interest for someone to uncover what both armstong’s were and are really all about.
that Jane Valesquez that comes on after Nancy Grace is looking at taylor with a skewed eye…if her producers can get enough facts together and think it will make a good story, she may do something with it down the line.
on Radar when a reporter asked Gerard Butler about his tryst with Brandi Glanville he said “who’s Brandi Glanville”.
@cutie, I hope Duck Bill’s book tanks AND Janie V exposes her. Ahhh, to dream big…
404 xyxyz Why don’t you just zip it!!!
OMG Robert Hegyes( Epstein from welcome back kotter) died today

xyxyz Dear God shut up. Your ego is wayyyyy to big.
@404Unbelievable- Why don’t you make me!
Who the hell are you to tell me anything? Just because I didn’t kiss your ass in the Cindy Barshop thread over your PETA B.S, you have to come to this thread, and that is the best you can come up with? Do you feel better now? Are you vindicated? Did you put me in my place?
Here’s a cheat sheet for you Unbelievable- I won’t ever “zip it” not for you, not for anybody. I am here to stay, post my opinions and responses as I like, and you nor anyone else is going to run me off with insults or threats.
Either get used to it, OR the option of ignoring me, as I suggest to so many posters here who don’t like me is your best bet, “cuz”, I “ain’t” goin nowhere!
Kthxbye!
Unbelievable=my new troll.
And hey honey, you shut up, because like I said, I’m here to stay, and jerks like you only make me want to post more and more.
IF I bug you so much, why not take it up with Reality Tea and try to get me banned. I am sure you will get real far with that.
Good luck!
http://1037litefm.radio.com/2011/09/30/beverly-hills-housewife-lisa-vanderpump-in-poison-arrow-video/
This is an old music video made in the U.K. Apparently it’s really Lisa Vanderpump when she was much younger. In some way I can’t help but think it’s not her. She is young so it’s really difficult to tell. Scroll to the video, 2nd picture and click.
Oh yea and you have to wait for an ad to finish before the video starts. I hate that!
@474 Meinnyc, that was a good clip, I like those two together!!
Let me premise this with, I do not like Taylor. However, out of fairness, I have to point out that one of the reasons that Taylor’s story might not make sense is because Bravo re-edited the season after Russell’s death. Maybe with the re-editing, they were forced to edit out parts that would help make more sense out of what Taylor was saying. I feel like it doesn’t hurt to believe someone when they are saying they are abused, the worst that could happen is that someone is lying, alternatively, by not believing somoene, the worst that could happen is that person could end up dead. That seems unacceptable to me.
481 KV, Keep in mind, Taylor did several interviews on various television programs (Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight and something on ABC) her stories have changed. Each show she went on, she was rehashing the same story with a different scenario. I saw the clip for the reunion and she went from broken jaw that sent her to the emergency room, but on the reunion clip, she’s saying it was knocked out of place and she used the toilet to knock it back into place. The Gig Is Up.
#446 and 447 xyxyz Holy moly, you have some serious problems!!! Please chill and get some help. Are you aged where this is your only outlet? Something is weird.
Hi xyxyz….There is and unfortunately will always be someone out there that love and live too post mean things to others.I like your posts so just keep on posting and don’t let the stalkers…I mean negative commenters get to you…
Hi meinnyc…Hope you are doing better…I don’t know what happened…but you are in my prayers.
I have a feeling that Shana’s book will go the way of James Fray’s “A Million Little Pieces” and she’ll make a new career out of redemption from all the lying. It’s so depressing that smart sociopaths almost always figure out a way to land feet down.
xyxyz Why are you so paranoid? Feeling guilty for all those bs commens you made maybe? Karma is a bitch. Sounds like your losing it!
484 Peachpat Everyone knows your a sheep . So stop your crap.
@487….Was I talking to you….rather be a sheep than a wolf.
Happiness to all.
Hi Full Moon…you said it!
Remember way back at the beginning of the season when the housewives all went to Camille’s place for skiing? If only they had known……they could have shut Taylor in the suitcase, locked it tight and sent it somewhere far, far away.
@490 goldikova..I heard they tried but couldn’t get her lips to fit.
xyxyz..morming..check the mob wives thread..your little new admirer left some of its droppings there also…lol
@451 mein,
Hey you, glad to read the family thing is getting better, I try not to post as much any more due to the attacks and craziness! lol
And that’s why duck lips will make money on her book, even if his family comes out to dispute any portion of what she says it will only fuel the curiosity of people who don’t know her and have never seen her fake cries. She could care less about her daughter seeing this crap years from now, it’s important to her to stay in front of the camera playing the victim while laughing all the way to the bank!
There you go again, cutie….running from thread to thread, rallying the gang, trying to start trouble.
I think you’re mentally unstable.
@xyxyzabcdefghijk…….
No one cares if your daddy is a surgeon or a janitor! Get a life of your own and stop living through your daddy. What exactly are your own accomplishements, other than staking out this blog and bullying people.
Take a sedative, chill out and get a life….puhleaze!
Listen “observer”…some cretins drive by and salaciously “observe” car wrecks.
Some people will stop and attempt to help.
I personally see no need for certain posters to relentlessly attack another poster who actually takes time to make threads thought provoking, informative and fun by actually participating in a respectful way.
You on the other hand..never “contribute”..but you and Name are always there to” judge” those of us who do.
Neither of you ever add anything..You are both like demanding, demeaning step mothers who come down from on high (ie “observer”…God like Judge) and make demands of “post on topic”, “don’t repeat the same thing over and over again”, “can we get some variety in the posts”, “so and so posted 16 times!”.
I understand it may be tough for someone such as yourself to keep up with so many funny, snarky and intelligent posters who express themselves with individuality and the only way to feel a sense of belonging is to insert yourself and protect the nasty posters.
That’s your deal…it’s not mine.
Have a good day U…!
Who wants to spend money to read about someone being abused? Truly, if anyone is tempted to spend the money on that liar’s book, take the money and donate it to a reputable charity of choice…maybe one that helps dv victims in your area.
Keep the tags at Amazon alive and vote for them, though….
@493 Observer,
ITA. Cutie Pie’s ego and mouth have been out of control ever since Anita Vacation’s meltdown, which Cutie Pie took great joy in. Ever since then she’s assumed the role of queen bee and blog mother, doling out condescending praise and encouragement to everyone. Her life is this board and you’re right, she does run from thread to thread like a wackadoo. Sad, sad, sad lady.
@ Cutie Pie,
Stop trying SO HARD! You will never be Anita Vacation! You can’t hold a candle to her and were always jealous and envious of her wit and her life. Give it up already. You’re a downer!
Taylor says Russell was going to kill her. It does not ring true. I watched them in the limo. Taylor is duplicitous. I don’t like her. She’s spiteful and vicious one moment than a running faucet the next.
I adore Brandy. She is the real deal.
Though Kyle has a family intact and the show has upgraded her “style” she gives into her ugly tendency to bully women she’s jealous of (Brandy, Camille).
Kim is not just an alcoholic…..
@499 backfires – no, nothing rings true with her. She was taken aback when Russell decided to go to the fashion show at Adrienne’s with her (he doesn’t normally attend these things, she said). Threw her off her game. She had to keep changing the tone and direction of the limo conversations between Russell and Kyle/Mauricio so they didn’t expose too much of what happened at the tea party. She’s the one who stopped the White Party lawn confrontation when she thought too much would be told…”c’mon, let’s go” and she led Russell back to the limo where she had to be lightning quick in saying, “he knows what I’m We’re talking about” that slip of the tongue showed that she was playing both sides against the middle. She’s never shown even the slightest uneasiness around Russell no matter what he learns. She drove that relationship and he was just along for the ride. He wasn’t what I would call honorable, but she picked him.
