Things just got a lot more real for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards! After being arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge, a source who works in production for Bravo's hit TV show tells RadarOnline.com exclusively, "Producers are going to give Kim an ultimatum – go to rehab, or else!'

Because Richards has suffered from alcoholism in the past and has been open about her struggles on-air, the source says that this time the consequences could be especially dire.

"They called together all of the higher-ups because they needed to discuss Kim's future involvement with the show," the source tells RadarOnline.com, adding, "She has now become a liability and she needs to get help."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, it is not only the producers for RHOBH that are urging her to get help immediately, as Kim's sister Kyle, whose daughter was one of the by Kim's pit bull Kingsley, has been pressuring her to come clean about her relapse on alcohol for quite some time now.
