'RHOBH' Kim Richards On Drugs Again? Friends And Family Worry Beverly Hills Housewife Is Drinking And Taking Prescription Pills Again!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards has been sober from alcoholism for a few years, but this season, her fellow castmembers, including her sister Kyle Richards, have been worried she has started drinking again.

According to Radar Online, Kim may have fallen off the wagon because she's been upset about her ex-husband Monty Brinson, who also is the father of her oldest daughter Brooke, being in the final stages of cancer.

"... Monty and Kim have always remained close, years after their divorce," a source told the site. "They had joint custody of their daughter, and co-parented very, very well together."

"When Monty was diagnosed with cancer, it was a kick in the stomach to Kim. He has always been the constant in her life," the source continued. "They moved in together so Kim could take care of Monty during his illness. Sadly, Monty has been told the cancer is terminal. His voice is very raspy, and it's extremely hard for him to talk."

The site also alleges the former child star is on prescription drugs to help her get through the pain.

"Kim is taking all of this very, very hard, and she has indeed been self-medicating to deal with the stress of it," Radar reported. "Her medication has been prescribed by a doctor that is fully aware of Kim's addiction issues. This is being very strictly monitored."

The RHOBH star's daughter's marriage ceremony was filmed for the Bravo reality show and "was held this past summer so her dad could walk her down the aisle. Cameras were on hand for the very emotional day, and this will be Kim's central storyline this year," Radar reported.

As MStars News reported, not only will that be Kim's storyline, but her question sobriety will also be a hot topic on the housewives' trip to Amsterdam.

"Things got extremely tense very quickly in Amsterdam because the ladies, led by newcomer Eileen Davidson, believed that Kim was under the influence of something," a source told Radar. "No one saw Kim drink or take any pills, but she did slightly slur her words during one of the initial outings on the trip."
