Did Kim Richards' reality career lead to her alleged relapse?

Kim Richards Busted For 'Drunken Rampage' At The Beverly Hills Hotel

According to a new report, the troubled former child star watched the three-part reunion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with her daughter just hours before her arrest on Thursday morning.

"Kim went to Brooke's house, where they watched the 3-part reunion. Kim had put it off because it was too upsetting, but she had to binge watch in order to fulfill her obligation to blog about the shows. And reliving what went down crushed her," TMZ reported on Friday.

Kyle Richards Slams Reports After Kim Richards Arrested For Drunken Behavior

During the reunion special, Richards feuded with nearly every member of the cast, including her sister, Kyle. However, it was the drama with Lisa Vanderpump and Lisa Rinna, which reportedly led her to drink.

"Kim has been deeply upset over Lisa Vanderpump and Lisa Rinna," TMZ alleged. "Kim believes Vanderpump had intentionally driven a wedge between her and sister Kyle. On the show, Vanderpump urged them to reconcile, but Kim claims off camera Vanderpump told Kyle that Kim didn't want her at Brooke's wedding ... which infuriated Kyle and deeply hurt Kim."

As TMZ previously reported, Richards was arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday after reportedly becoming beligerent, and locking herself in a restroom.

"She was booked for public drunkenness, resisting arrest, trespass and battery on a cop," the site reported.

Kim Richards is due in court on May 10 to address the charges against her.
