She's Back! Kim Richards In Talks To Return To 'RHOBH' As Full-Time Cast Member

It's been four years since Kim Richards was infamously fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills following her dramatic boozy breakdown. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she's now "in talks" to return to the show!
"Kim has been begging producers to take her back ever since she was fired," a source close to the 54-year-old recovered alcoholic said.
As fans know, following her exit in June 2015, the sister of current cast member Kyle Richards has maintained her sobriety and has seemingly beat her demons.
In turn, she has also been appearing on RHOBH in a guest role for the past several seasons and even made up with co-star Lisa Rinna.
"Kim has been hanging on as a friend of the housewives," the source said. "But right now, she has no other job and has no other source of income."
The insider added, "Producers for the show know that Kim can bring in the ratings because she has done it before, but only when she is a mess. Now that she seems to have it together, people are skeptical if their fans will care about her boring life."
However, it seems that Kim may have a few tricks up her sleeve if welcomed back on the show!
"Kim told them that she knows how to make people tune in and that she will deliver the drama," the insider said. "If it takes another meltdown she is ready to do that" the insider added. "At this point, she will do just about anything to be back on the cast full-time."
The new addition comes after RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that longtime cast member Lisa Vanderpump quit the series.
