Was Kim Richards Forced By Bravo To Go To Rehab? Is Bravo Afraid For Kim’s Safety?
This is a continuation to the last post I made about Kim Richards going to rehab for her alcohol and other drug related problems. But it appears that perhaps Bravo had a hand in sending Kim to rehab as Radaronline reports that Bravo told Kim to get her ass to rehab or else lose her famewhoring priviledges. Kim is so afraid of losing her Bravo gig because according to an “inside source” this is washed-up ex- child star Kim’s only source of income. And Bravo is stressing because after the Russell Armstrong suicide they don’t want any blood on their hands by having another tragedy happening.
“Kim was told by the people at Bravo that she had to get help and that help meant going into rehab immediately,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “The network people were worried about her and wanted her to try and fix her problems.”
After Russell Armstrong’s suicide Bravo is trying to making sure that nothing bad happens to the people on their shows,” the source said. “They don’t want any more tragedies on their hands.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, friends close to Kim weren’t surprised that she decided to get help.
“The pressures the women face being on the show are enormous. Kim was basically told that if she wanted to stay on the show then she had to get help, so she did. Kim doesn’t have any other significant source of income and she needs to keep her job on the show.”
The source said the decision for Kim to get help was a relief to those close to her. “It was a strong move for Kim to go ahead and take control of the situation and get help for herself. Everyone is really proud of her.”
