According to a recent report, Kim's return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after months of sobriety struggles has been relatively tame. In fact, she's said to have apologized to the crew for her past behavior.

“Kim was at the finale taping for the show last Friday at sister Kyle‘s La Quinta vacation home,” an insider explained to Radar Online earlier this month. “Kim took several members of the crew aside, and apologized profusely for her behavior recently.”

“There were a lot of tears as Kim explained she is committed to her sobriety,” the source continued. “Kim also owned up to her past bad behavior to the other ladies. There was a lot of concern for Kyle as well. The sisters appear to be starting a new chapter in their relationship after not speaking for months.”
