“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards has been arrested.
The reality star was arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the early hours of Thursday morning, after police were called to the establishment following a report of a disturbance.
According to a press release from the Beverly Hills Police Department, hotel security reported an apparently intoxicated female was causing a disturbance at a hotel restaurant. The woman, who was later identified as Kim Richards, was asked multiple times to leave the property by hotel security.

Security told police that as they escorted her from the premises, Richards requested to use the restroom, and according to the BHPD report, she refused to leave. At that point, they made a private persons arrest and called the police.
BHPD officers responded to the scene around 1:30 AM PT. Officers went into the restroom and took the “RHOBH” star into custody at 2:04 AM. She was described as “displaying symptoms of alcohol intoxication including slurred speech and belligerent insolent behavior cursing at the officers and passively resisted arrest,” according to BHPD, during the incident.

At the station, when she was being booked, police claim Richards kicked an officer in the leg, but the officer was not injured.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, reps for Bravo and the hotel had no comment. A rep for Richards was not immediately available for comment on the incident.
