'RHOBH' to eliminate Kim Richards from next season

Washington: American TV star Kim Richards' recent drunken arrest could possibly snatch her role in ' Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' from the next season.

A source informed that the American drama series' network Bravo won't keep the TV star in the upcoming season as her substance abuse issues make her a liability and creates multiple insurance issues if something happens to her, TMZ.com reported.

Sources added that the 50-year-old TV personality presents a public picture of sobriety on camera, but when the cameras are off she goes off the rails.

On the other hand, some other production sources asserted that Richards did better this season in the sobriety department and that it's hypocritical for producers to turn their back on actress.
