Kim Richards might find herself a little lonely when she re-enters rehab, but she definitely wasn’t alone for her interview with Dr. Phil McGraw.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 50, received some much needed family support and even media training from her oldest sister Kathy Hilton.
According to Radar Online, “During the breaks, she would go directly to Kim’s side and coach her on how to better answer Dr. Phil’s questions.”
During the taping, Kim admitted her recent arrest was a result of relapsing into alcoholism.
Dr. Phil is known for his blunt questioning. So when he started firing questions, Kim Richards stormed off the set.
Sources reveal “Kathy talked Kim down, and got her to return and finish. She was definitely acting as Kim’s protector. She wanted to make sure she was being looked after.”
Kim was hesitant and even declined Dr. Phil’s offer to pay for her time in rehab. But over the weekend, Kim checked into a Malibu treatment facility.
The interview will air Tuesday.
If this interview is anything like her RHOBH confessional scenes—which are plagued with stumbling over answers, stuttering over her words, and generally saying nothing—this will be an uncomfortable show to watch.
