‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ preview: Could Kim Richards be forced out after arrest?

What is happening on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” now that the season is over? Over the course of the months ahead, this is the time where Bravo starts to figure out whether or not they want to bring the full cast they’ve already assembled. There may be a woman or two who simply decide that they want out and not to come back.

One person who could be in some jeopardy at the moment right now is Kim Richards, at least based on some of the reports that are out there. According to TMZ, it is possible that the show may choose to move forward after having her as a cast member from the very beginning. At times much of her her story has been about overcoming addiction (and her relationship with her sister Kyle), but there are certain liability issues that could come from her remaining a part of the series in the long-term, especially if she continues to struggle.

However, the sources here are mixed as to whether or not the network would actually walk away. Personally, we’d like to see her back if there is a way set up to help her recover from some of what ails her, and to the point where she can find a little bit of redemption. Almost everyone loves a good comeback story, and this is a real chance for her to make some steps forward, and even inspire some people if she can figure it out – and we think she can!

Also, there is a little bit of a precedent for this following arrests. Just look at how the New Jersey show is handling Teresa Giudice at the moment.
