Eileen Davidson Reveals The Last Time She Saw Kim Richards 'She Wasn't High'

Kim Richards was fired from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills earlier this year after two humiliating arrests and ditching rehab.
But as RadarOnline.com first reported, the 51-year-old troubled reality star made a brief return to the show and apologized to the cast and crew for her past transgressions.
According to her costar Eileen Davidson, Richards seems to be finally sober.
"I only saw her once—was she doing better? She wasn't high," Davidson, 56, told OKMagazine.com. "So I guess that means she's doing better."
"It seemed like she was very much in control of her life," she continued. "But that is just from a brief encounter."
Despite Richards' erratic behavior last season, Davidson was glad to be reunited with her.
"I was actually happy to see her," she said. "She's been through hell this year, and I'm hoping that this is like a good thing and a good sign."
Davidson is also wishing to see her friend take control back of her for good.
"I am hoping that she is better, and she's on the right path to being well and healthy again," she said. "I'm always rooting for her to succeed."
Unfortunately, it sounds like not all of Richards' costars are supporting her growth.
Last season, Richards accused Lisa Rinna's husband Harry Hamlin of cheating, which caused a huge brawl between the two ladies.
The trailer for the new season shows Rinna and Richards confronting each other.
"I was kind of hoping that it would be the beginning of a new chapter," Davidson said. "I was hoping that so much had happened that we could let bygones be bygones because some really big, more important things happened than what even happened on the show last year—I mean some real you-know-what hit the fan in her Richards' life."
Unfortunately, Rinna and Richards' meeting didn't go so well.
"All I can say is I was really hoping that them seeing each other would transcend what happened last year," Davidson said. "But I guess that's not what happened unfortunately."
