Kim Richards lost her ex-husband, Monty Brinson, to cancer months ago, and in a new interview, she opened up about the tragedy.
Around the time of her return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which featured a very emotional conversation between herself and her sister, Kyle Richards, Kim recalled the moment Brinson passed away.
"He was glad that he was going first because he didn't think he could bare it if it was me and he had to be left here," Richards told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday. "I said, 'I love you,' and then I felt him just kind of leave, and it was shocking. I just didn't expect it."
