'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast news: Kim Richards to be fired after public intoxication arrest?
It seems like "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Richards will face more consequences after her recent drunken rampage arrest last week.
Several sources told entertainment site TMZ that the executives of the hit reality show from Bravo are contemplating chopping her name off the cast roster because they are worried about her association with the show and the network. The report mentioned that although nothing has been finalized yet, the network bosses are seriously thinking about firing her next season, and there was reportedly a big debate about it.
The sources claimed that some of the network execs feel that Richards' constant substance abuse is very evident during the current season, but she is very careful in portraying a public image of sobriety when the cameras are rolling. However, a different picture of her is constantly painted once the filming of the show concludes.
On the other hand, other series heads who want her to stay believe that Richards is actually doing better this season, and it would be very heartless of them if they decide to leave her during this troublesome time in her life.
The show's creators still have several months left before they decide if the 50-year-old reality star can be allowed to return to the show or not.
Richards was arrested last Thursday after the authorities were alerted because of her unruly behavior. A source told Radar Online that she suddenly got irked when a bartender decided that she had enough drinks for the night.
"She became very, very angry, and loudly said, 'Don't you know who I am?'" the source added.
When the reality show star locked herself in the bathroom and refused to open the door, a concerned citizen reportedly called the police. But the drama did not end there as Richards allegedly assaulted a police officer. She was charged with public intoxication, trespassing, battery on a police officer, as well as resisting an officer.
Although she was released from the police station immediately, Richards is still expected to face all her charges in court on May 10.
