Yolanda Foster Facing Relationship And Health Troubles In 'RHOBH' Premiere—'You Feel Helpless'
Dec. 2 2015, Updated 7:02 p.m. ET
The premiere episode of sixth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was slow to start but definitely picked up speed towards the end, teasing fans with juicy gossip, lots of tears, and even more cat fights. With Yolanda Foster’s health crisis used as a major story line and Kyle Richards' strained relationship with her sister Kim Richards discussed, this season is prepped to be a confronting one!
Foster continued to struggle with her Lyme disease. “Since I was diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease in 2012, it’s been a journey. I look quite normal yet I’m so sick. I have weakness in my legs. I have tremors. No brain function. I mean, I haven’t driven a car in three years,” she explained in her confessional.
The former model, 51, has even moved from her gorgeous Malibu mansion into a smaller condo because it’s closer to her doctors.
The uphill battle showed on Foster’s tired face. She admitted to trying stem cell and ozone treatments, holistic antibiotics, and flying around the world to find a cure.

What was also apparent was her husband, David Foster’s, absence. The couple just announced their decision to divorce and it appears that Yolanda has been leaning on her kids now more than ever.
“If it wasn’t for my kids, I would have jumped over the balcony already,” she insisted.
While David performs at charity and concert events, like the one he was at in Seattle, Washington during tonight’s show, Yolanda finds solace in friends like Angie Simpson— Cody Simpson's, whom daughter Gigi Hadid previously dated, mother!
Meanwhile, at a lunch with Kyle, Lisa Vanderpump, 55, expressed her concern for Yolanda.
“Have you spoken to Yolanda?” Kyle asked. “I’ve texted her quite a few times … I’m not that close to her anyway. I never have been. She kind of turned on me, you know that,” Lisa said referring to when she was rude to hubby Ken at a party two seasons ago.

Lisa questioned the authenticity of Yolanda’s illness. She commented, “I don’t quite understand what’s wrong with her. I don’t know if it is Lyme disease but I’m not criticizing her I’m just questioning it.”
Meanwhile in the episode, Kyle, 46, opened up about her sister’s sobriety struggles, admitting she was in “complete, utter disbelief” about Kim's drunken arrest at the Beverly Hills Hotel in April.
