'RHOM' Star Joanna Krupa Weighs In On Kim Richards' Arrest & Relapse

Richards was arrested on April 16 at the Beverly Hills Hotel after enjoying a glass of vodka at her daughter's house, and several more at the hotel's Polo Lounge. According to reports, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star became irate after being cut off by the bartender, and became a disturbance to other guest. After police were called, Richards was taken into custody, where she reportedly kicked a police officer.

Richards was later charged with public intoxication, trespassing (for refusing to leave the Polo Lounge when asked by hotel security), resisting an officer and battery on an officer.

Following the arrest, Richards entered rehab to address her addiction to alcohol. As fans will recall, Richards also went to rehab in Dec. 2011, after filming an intense season of her Bravo reality show.

She is due in court on June 10 to address the charges.
