While Kim Richards was getting arrested for making like a dollarbin bandit at Target, Lisa Vanderpump was partying in the Hamptons and filming for Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. In a candid interview Lisa reveals that Kim has been struggling for years and it has been well-known among her co-stars – as if last season wasn’t an indication of that! 

“She’s told us she’s struggling,” Lisa confirms, although she reveals she has not spoken to Kim recently. I wonder if Kathy Hilton is going to start slamming Lisa for commenting on Kim’s issues?

Despite Kim’s obvious issues, Lisa has always tried to remain neutral. “I feel that I have never involved myself too much in questioning her sobriety. Even if I had my suspicions, I never really kind of revealed anything,” reminds Lisa. “Even last season, I said very much I don’t want to get involved because I didn’t feel like I was that close to her.” 

Even with Kim calling her “phony” in an interview last month (a comment which she admits “stung and hurt”), Lisa is letting it go because she “sees what’s been going on” with Kim. Lisa is also hopeful Kim can rely on the “support from her family” to truly get her life back on track – just preferably not on RHOBH!

Lisa eludes that working with Kim was incredibly difficult for all the ladies, but they ultimately have no control over who stays and who goes. “Whenever somebody is on the show, they’re on the show for a reason, and sometime the dynamic changes, not everybody is happy with certain choices,” explained Lisa. “There’s been a lot being said about me having the power to eliminate cast members. We don’t get that power.”

While there is no power to hire or fire your castmates, the ladies do have the power to leave if they’re so unhappy. “I’ve done 170 episodes of reality television with Vanderpump Rules and Housewives. I’ve had a couple of really horrible, s—-y experiences that I’ve never experienced in my life,” Lisa stated to ETOnline. “The other 160 something have been amazing.”

Well here’s hoping for an amazing season 6!
