Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Kim Richards has reportedly suffered a relapse and has been placed on a psychiatric hold.
After allegedly falling off of the wagon, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department [LAPD] confirmed to People that the reality star, 60, and her sister, Kyle Richards, 55, were involved in an altercation earlier this week.
On Wednesday, an ‘incident’ occurred between the siblings in Encino, where Kyle ‘owns a home that Kim had recently been staying in.’
LAPD officers are said to have ‘responded to keep the peace after a female reportedly violated a restraining order.’
Following an investigation, the officers ‘determined there was no order on file and no crime was committed.’
‘Both parties were informed of eviction process and officers kept the peace,’ the officials told the outlet.
The officials, however, could not verify if it was Kim and Kyle that were involved ‘in the scuffle.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to both Kim and Kyle’s representatives, but have not heard back, at this time.
Earlier this month, TMZ reported that Kim was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and taken to a hospital by ambulance for her ‘incoherent’ behavior.
At the time, she was reportedly staying at a Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
According to NAMI Sonoma County (National Alliance on Mental Illness), ‘under California law, certain designated professionals can place a person in a 72-hour psychiatric hold.’
During a 5150, a person is taken into custody and held for up to 72 hours for evaluation.’
During this time, ‘the facility or hospital is required to do an evaluation of that person, taking into account their medical, psychological, educational, social, financial, and legal situation.’
Per TMZ, law enforcement sources said that Kyle claimed that Kim was ‘in deep trouble over her sobriety’ and that their entire family was ‘worried about her survival.’
Kim’s struggle with sobriety was documented during her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In their reality show’s first season, which aired in 2010, Kyle accused Kim of being an alcoholic during a tense exchange.
A year later, she entered rehab.
In April 2015, Kim was arrested for public intoxication at the Beverly Hills Hotel. That same year, she went to a treatment facility in Malibu.
In 2016, she recalled her addiction issues beginning after her split from her second husband, Gregg Davis in 1991.
‘I started noticing I was drinking a lot,’ she recalled. ‘That’s when my issue started.’
