Sister Kyle, 42, called her an "alcoholic" during the ugly brawl, and Kim briefly entered rehab at that time (mid-2010) for treatment, although she declined to discuss her addiction problems on camera or with the press.

Kim's behavior on the second season of the show (currently running) remained erratic. At one infamous game night hosted by new castmate Dana Wilkey, foe Brandi Glanville accused Kim ? who made frequent bathroom breaks and slurred her speech ? of being high on crystal meth.
