Kim Richards has been arrested for shoplifting.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star
was placed under citizen’s arrest on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 4:25 p.m. and
spent the night in jail, the Van Nuys Police Department told ET.
Richards
was booked at 7:29 p.m. PT on Sunday at the Valley Jail in Van Nuys,
California, and was released Monday afternoon after posting $5,000 bail.
The 50-year-old reality star sat down exclusively with ET in July to address her struggles with sobriety and what really happened the night she was arrested for public intoxication at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
"I
love sobriety," Richards told ET's Nischelle Turner. "I've always loved
sobriety and relapsing was very hard for me. It was not easy. I have to
say, don't take this wrong, but I really wanted to go treatment because
I needed a break from what I was going through at home."
Richards
had cited family stress as a contributing factor to her relapse,
telling ET, "Monty, my ex-husband, is very sick and my son wasn't well.
And I had to give away my dog, and I wasn't talking to my sister [Kyle Richards]."
During
the interview, Richards told ET she had completed her treatment program
and had been sober for more than a month, adding that she learned "a
whole lot about myself" during that time.
"I
dug deep into my past -- things that happened to me as a child, good
and band, teenage years, relationships with all my loved ones, where
they need to be mended, where they're very powerful," she said. "I
worked on me."
Richards
was arrested April 16 at the Beverly Hills Hotel following an incident,
and entered rehab shortly thereafter. Richards said her "a-ha" moment
that led her to seek treatment was that arrest, telling ET, "My arrest
was my 'a-ha I get to go away now and rest and take a break from all
this.' "
