'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' News: Kyle Richards Livid at Sister Kim for Blaming Her for Recent Relapse Episode
Fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" tuned in on Tuesday to watch Kim Richards' special interview with Dr. Phil following her arrest for public intoxication the week before. Among those who watched the show is Kim's sister, Kyle, who was reportedly upset when Kim blamed her recent relapse on her.
According to a source from Radar Online, Kim's revelation that she had been drinking the night of her arrest at the Beverly Hills Hotel "certainly wasn't surprising to Kyle, but to have her name dragged through the mud once again by her sister was extremely upsetting."
The insider reveals that Kyle is relieved that Kim has finally gone back to rehab.

"Dr. Phil nailed it when he told Kim the feud wasn't about Kingsley biting her niece Alexia. It is more complex, and goes all the way back to their childhood," the source said.
The source says that although there will be an upcoming family day at Kim's rehab facility, it appears as though Kyle won't be coming because her sister reportedly doesn't want her there.
Meanwhile, Bravo bosses are reportedly concerned with Kim's addiction issues and are already looking to replace her on "RHOBH."
"The producers of the show have already started looking for her replacement," said another source who is close to the situation told the website.
"No one knew whether or not Kim was going to adhere to their guidelines and remain completely sober," says the source. "She gave so much fuss about the sobriety clause they wanted added to her contract that there was really no way of knowing her next move."
The insider adds that NBC bosses are "basically trying to save face" and don't care otherwise if Kim stays on the show or not, but they could reportedly fire her because fans "are growing sick" of the same drama and want a different storyline when the new season of the show premieres.
Reps for the Richards sisters and Bravo have yet to comment on the reports.
