'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Cast News, Rumors: Will Bravo Fire Kim Richards after the Polo Lounge Incident?

Kim Richards, one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, may be facing the prospect of losing her job. Allegedly, after the star's recent arrest, Bravo no longer wants to put her in front of the cameras.

Richards, who is 50-years-old, was at the Beverly Hills Hotel when the staff called law enforcement agents due to her unruly behavior. When she was asked to leave the hotel's club, The Polo Lounge, the star went into a restroom and locked herself in, refusing to leave.

After the arrest, she kicked a police officer at the police station, according to reports made by the Beverly Hills Police Department. Richards is a recovering alcoholic and was kept on charges of public intoxication, trespassing, resisting a police officer and battery on an officer.

While Real Housewives of Beverly Hills appears to welcome drama, there have been rumors that the producers of the show want Richards to return to rehab and return to recovery before the start of the new season because she will be considered a liability otherwise, as reported by Radar Online.

However, TMZ claims that the producers do consider her a liability but are considering firing her, rather than giving her a chance to return to sobriety.

According to TMZ, "There are insurance issues with the show, and serious concerns that if something happens to Kim, Bravo could be on the hook for keeping her on such a contentious, demanding show."

In an episode of the show in 2012, Richards admitted that she was an alcoholic and her maintenance of sobriety proved to be a large part of the Season 5 storyline.

However, it appears that none of the producers want her back on the show unless she is sober.
