As for Richards' ongoing sobriety struggles, Glanville explained, "It's hard, because, you know, I'm a friend. I'm not, you know, a sober companion. Obviously, I'm not a coach. You know, I'm there for her as a friend. I will always take her calls, and that's really all I can say about it right now."
