On Sunday, former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kim Richards was caught shoplifting $600 worth of items at Target when she was placed under citizen's arrest. The reality star spent the night in jail and was released on $5,000 bail. But it has now been revealed that she may not have anywhere permanent to go because she is homeless.
Prior to her shoplifting incident, it turns out that Richards, 50, was living out of her car, TMZ has reported. Sources close to the family told TMZ she had been house-hopping ever since she was released from rehab just last month. Eventually, Richards ran out of friends and relatives who were willing to let her stay with them, so she had been forced to live out of her car. Her family wants to help, but they have no idea what can be done anymore.
Richards has also allegedly been "self-medicating" again lately, but it is unclear if she was sober or not when she stole from the department store.
She's been on a downward spiral over the past year. Back in April, Richards was arrested for public intoxication and assault. A few months later, she left rehab to attend her daughter's wedding, but got drunk and caused a scene. Following the wedding, Richards went missing for a few days when she was supposed to be heading back to rehab.
Ironically enough, just last month when she completed her stint in rehab, Richards couldn't stop gushing over how much she loved being sober.
"I love sobriety. I've always loved sobriety," she told Entertainment Tonight. "Relapsing was very hard for me. It was not easy."
