Real Housewives of Beverly Hills “star Kim Richards was arrested on Sunday after she was caught shoplifting in a Target store in San Fernando Valley, Calif. Van Nuys Police confirmed to KABC that Richards, 50, was suspected of walking out of the store with close to $600 worth of items in her cart. She was apprehended at about 4:30 p.m. in the afternoon, and placed under citizen’s arrest. (Citizen’s arrest? A civilian nabbed her? Does sister Kyle have an alibi, I hope…?)
Richards spent the night in jail and was yesterday on $5,000 bail. Her ailing ex-husband, Monty Brinson, told ET;
“I couldn’t imagine Kim stealing or shoplifting anything. She is a giver. I am in complete shock. Guaranteed this must be some kind of mistake, and the facts will come out soon. She was arrested for shoplifting toys in a cart, but this was a clear misunderstanding. This was not alcohol or drug related.”
This is not her first run-in with the law. This past April, she was arrested on charges of public intoxication, battery, and resisting arrest, after causing a ruckus at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Richards checked into rehab in June, seeking treatment. It remains unknown whether Kim will return to the next season of RHOBH, Richards said she was getting back to a good place first.
“Actually, my arrest was my ‘Aha, I get to go away now and rest and take a break from all this. I don’t want anybody to take this wrong, but I truly needed a break from hospitals, family, the pressure. I needed to go away.”
