Lisa Vanderpump to Kim Richards: Reality TV Shouldn’t Make You a Drunk!

Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards have had an interesting past, and the former has some blunt words for the latter and her recent struggles. With Kim Richards fired , reportedly, from the Bravo hit after yet another drugs and alcohol relapse, Vanderpump offered a nice parting shot. “A reality show should document your reality,” Vanderpump told Radar at (where else) her very own Pump Lounge in West Hollywood. “It shouldn’t be the reason you drink,” Lisa said of Kim’s addiction, and conversely, “the show should not be what keeps you sober.” In an interview with Dr. Phil, Kim said stress from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and social media pushed her off the wagon. Vanderpump reiterates that she’s not stirring anything up regarding Richards’ specific issues, but is speaking in general about “truth.” “I chose to stay out of the whole scenario this season because I was already in that situation two years ago when I questioned Kim’s sobriety.” “I just don’t want to go there again.” “But … If you’re going to sign up for a reality show, be completely honest. If not it is going to come back and bite you in the ass!” “Most important is that Kim gets the help she needs,” she concluded. ”I wish her well. That is all I want for her and all that the cast wants as well.” Kim, 50, is currently in treatment, again, following reports that she got drunk at her daughter’s wedding and subsequently suffered a mental breakdown . We wish her a speedy, full recovery. View Slideshow: 18 Reality Stars Who Need to Check into Rehab
