Big sisters can be very protective of their younger siblings. I know, I had two of them. Think Mama Bear.
When a fan made a mean-spirited comment about Kim Richards’ looks, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton came to her younger sister’s defense. The photo in question was a group snapshot taken at Kathy’s Annual Holiday Pajama Party.
“Lord. Kim looks … yikes,” wrote the troll. Kathy wasted no time snapping back at the commenter. “Very mean,” she shot back. “Praying for you.”
Fans joined Kathy to defend Kim
Kim had her own diamond for the first five seasons of RHOBH. In fact, she and her other sister, Kyle Richards, were the main reason I started watching the show. I remember them as child actors and wanted to see what their lives were like now. Though she left the show following Season 5, Kim’s returned in a guest role several times since, including the current Season 13.
We all know Kim hasn’t had the easiest life. It couldn’t have been easy being a working child in the grown-up world of Hollywood. It’s well known that she’s struggled with addiction issues for most of her life. But her fans adore her and feel protective of her. That’s why when the commenter attacked the way she looked, they rushed to defend her.
“Leave Kim alone she has gone through lots in her life,” one wrote.
“I am saddened by all the people attacking a woman’s looks,” added another.
“Love Kim’s energy! Great picture,” chimed a third.
One fan simply posted, “We Love You Kim,” with two red heart emojis.
Sadly, Kim’s looks get a lot of attention. She’s not active on social media, so whenever a photo appears, fans go nuts. They love to analyze her looks and sometimes comment that she’s “unrecognizable.” Well, it’s been a long time since Escape from Witch Mountain. We all change over time.
Unfortunately, Kim isn’t the cute child star she was half a century ago. But we all get older and being famous doesn’t make you immune. Plus her body has taken a toll from her disease over the years. Honestly, I think she just wasn’t wearing a lot of makeup like the other women were.
Kim doesn’t want her diamond back
Content to appear as an occasional guest on RHOBH, Kim has no plans or desire to return as a regular. “For me, I will never say never but most likely not,” she recently told E! News. “I would rather do something with [my sisters] away from that kind of negativity.”
“It’s awful,” she continued. “Where do you find people that go to a party and throw a drink at your face? Or they try to choke you?” I’m looking at you, Lisa Rinna.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
