May 31 2013, Published 6:56 a.m. ET
Stevie Ryan has done impersonations of a slew of Hollywood stars from Kim Kardashian to Justin Bieber and in season two of her hit show she told RadarOnline.com that even The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards isn’t safe.
Stevie TV on VH1 is full of celebrity impersonations and she says that there is only one thing that she stays away from.
“I try to stay away from death, anyone that has passed over,” she told RadarOnline.com.
“I feel like it is disrespectful and weird and I don’t even want to open any of those weird doors.”
Stevie said that living reality stars aren’t so lucky.

She admitted she had second thoughts about doing an impersonation of Kim Richards, who publicly struggled with addiction and went to rehab, she still decided to go ahead.
“One of my favorite shows is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I know Kim Richards was going through and maybe still is a lot with her sobriety.
“It gets a little weird because I don’t want to go that route and make fun of this person because they’re struggling and dealing with something.”
With her trademark wit, Stevie said that she can dish it out and she can take it too.
“But when you’re putting yourself on TV and telling the world about it, it kind of comes with the territory.
“Anyone can make fun of me in any way possible and I wouldn’t be offended.”
Tune in to season two of Stevie TV on VH1 Friday at 10/9c.
