A few days after the season 5 finale of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Kim Richards was arrested for public intoxication in April and the star checked into a treatment facility right after an intervention by Dr. Phil. But her troubles did not stop there as last month, the former child star was arrested after allegedly shoplifting $600 in merchandise from Target in Van Nuys, California.
Since then, the reality star has been quiet on social media, but last week she broke her social media silence to wish her fans well and to thank them on Twitter for their love and support.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, Richards tweeted, "I hope you all had fun & safe Labor Day. I've missed you all! Thank you for all the Love. You all mean so much to me VAVOOMSHABANG."
Her fans took to the micro blogging site to tell her that they missed her, and Richards wrote back, "I've missed you too!!! Thank u."
Another fan asked her how she was doing, and the reality star replied, "All is good."
The following day, Richards posted another tweet which read, "It's a Wonderful Wednesday. Remember to appreciate and love yourself as well as others today. Have a VAVOOMSHABANG kind of day, stay cool."
Meanwhile, Richards' ex-husband Monty Brinson took to Instagram on Friday, Sept. 11, to defend the Bravo star once again. Previously, Brinson had spoken in defense of Richards, saying that people may have been mistaken when the shoplifting incident was reported. This time, Brinson took to the photo sharing app to lash out at Target, citing TMZ's report about Lorenzo Lamas' son being arrested by the same security guard for shoplifting at the store's Van Nuys' branch.
"Target must be looking for publicity," Brinson wrote. "But the real problem was not Target, it was the security guard."
Brinson said that he has hired a private investigator to find out everything about the security guard, whom he described as being in his 20's. He added that the guard is "an angry person in life." He then told his followers that the results of the investigation will be released in another post.
