On Sunday, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Kim Richards was booked at California?s Valley Jail after reportedly attempting to shoplift over $600 worth of goods from Target. The 50-year-old, who spent Sunday night in jail and posted $5,000 bail in the morning, has bigger problems than a Van Nuys security guard. With her history of alcoholism, disordered eating, family drama, and personal trauma, Richards is the latest reality TV victim to have earned years of ratings success at the price of her wellbeing and sobriety. Her tale is sad enough to draw a tear from even the most rigidly Botoxed real housewives, and speaks to the dark consequences of America?s insatiable demand for raw footage of emotionally unstable C-listers.
