Kim Richards is Batshit Crazy (and I used to be in love with her)
I must admit that when I was a little kid I had the biggest crush on Kim Richards. I remember when my mom started letting us watch non-cartoon movies and she rented Escape to with Mountain, and I thought I had found my soul mate. I had a poster of her in my room and when I was like 10 I rented Tuff Turf and fell in love all over again. That husky sexy voice, all-American girly demeanor and of course that forbiddingly long hair all made me excited and I just couldn’t get enough. Then she disappeared.
Now after almost 25 years of practically being whipped off the map Kim is back, and O shit have some things changed. As one of the cast members on Bravo’s newest series the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim joins five other sycophants including her sister fellow child star Kyle, on a show that will once and for all prove that LA girls aren’t like women anywhere else in the world, or in Kim’s case, on this planet. In the first few seconds of the first show, I could see that this once seemingly confident, strong, talented woman is now a few beers short of a six-pack. As aunt to Paris Hilton, you could imagine a little disconnect from reality, but Kim seems more like she escaped to witch mountain and may have never actually returned. Her social awkwardness, psychotic ramblings and obsession with having more kids (at 46), made her seem like she had dropped some acid before filming and made Kelsey Grammer’s now ex wife Boobie, I mean Camille, look like a rocket scientist. It sad to see your childhood crush crash before your eyes, but then again she’s really rich so who cares.
