People Magazine reports that reality star Kim Richards of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame has checked herself into rehab, following a DUI arrest.

“Kim went to rehab finally because she got arrested, she humiliated her kids and she wants to avoid jail,” a source told People Magazine. Many speculate that Kim Richardson entered into rehab after “increasingly out of it behavior,” a source goes on to say.

Her recent arrest occurred on April 16 at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she was arrested for public intoxication. Public intoxication is an unusual cause for arrest, especially at a hotel that often cushions and facilitates casual drinking. In the case of this reality star, her behavior was anything from ordinary. The “out of it” mother was acting in a belligerent manner prior to her arrest.

As the statement from the Beverly Hills Police department read: Richards, 50, “was displaying symptoms of alcohol intoxication including slurred speech and belligerent insolent behavior cursing at the office and passively resisted arrest.” To passively resist arrest is a better situation than to actively resist arrest, during sentencing; however, Richards was also charged with trespassing, resisting an officer and battery on a police officer, during the arrest.

A more detailed account from an undisclosed source reveals that Richards was drinking vodka around 1 am and was being very “loud” in the hours leading up to her arrest, after officers responded to “a report of a possible fight.”

Since the arrest, Richards has checked herself into a treatment facility to gain further insight into her possibilities for recovery. The treatment team will better assist her in her road to finding a peaceful state of being outside rehab.

In an interview following her arrest, Richards met on Dr. Phil to explain that she was “angry and frightened and…scared.” The interview is set to air Tuesday, April 28.
