Will Camille Grammer be the first to get a pink slip from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or, as the Hollywood Reporter speculates, will Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards will be the first to be replaced? An insider says:
“Their personal lives [Richards and Armstrong] may actually be too controversial for the controversy-loving show.”
- Western New York fans of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can watch the season finale tonight on DirecTV channel 237 at 9:00pm ET.
Kim Richards, who entered rehab in early December for alcohol and other addiction problems, has slurred her words and been unable to sit still for her interviews all season long. Her behavior became more erratic, and eventually Richards admitted to Dr. Paul Nassif that she had been taking a potent cocktail of prescription drugs for anxiety and depression. Richards, who moved in with boyfriend Ken Blumenfeld, admitted to sister Kyle Richards that Blumenfeld was controlling. Sources say the network and production company “feel the show is not healthy for Kim” and that she “should focus on her recovery”.
Taylor Armstrong, whose husband Russell committed suicide in August, has spent much of season two arguing with cast mates, crying, drinking and making veiled on-camera claims that she has suffered verbal, emotional and physical abuse. A source says that “she became a liability for the show” because of litigation pending against her. Castrates fear that they will become party to the litigation if Armstrong remains on the show.
Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards may be at the top of the list for pink slips, but Camille Grammer shouldn’t breathe easy just yet. Insiders say that the number of Beverly Hills housewives to be replaced “depends on how many new girls they find. The Real Housewives of New York City set the precedent for recasting.” The Real Housewives of New York City Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop were all axed prior to filming season five.
