As previously reported, Kim’s troubles began after she was arrested a few months ago for public intoxication at the Beverly Hills Polo Club. Bravo executives reportedly gave the troubled reality star an ultimatum to go to rehab or she would be let go from the show. Kim relapsed during her daughter’s second wedding in Mexico and consequently went missing for a week. At that point, Bravo TV executives made the decision to end their professional relationship with Kim when she “would not return calls from her bosses at Bravo.”
