Is Kim Richards Getting Paid For Her #RHOBH Season 6 Appearances?!

She's back! Kim Richards may not hold a diamond this season on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but as seen in the trailer, Richards will make some appearances throughout the upcoming sixth season.

Even though the mother-of-four was fired from the Bravo hit reality series after she was arrested for public intoxication back in April, a source claims that Richards found a way to get back on the show — by “working for free.”

“Kim wasn’t paid a dime to return to RHOBH,” an insider tells Life & Style Magazine. “She was desperate to get back on TV to restore her reputation.”

Although Kim, 51, has been attending AA meetings and seeing a psychiatrist since the incident last spring, pals believe that going back on the show won’t give her enough time to focus on herself, according to the insider.

After rumors circulated that Richards was working for free for her appearances in the upcoming Bravo series, sister Kathy Hilton took to social medial to shut down the rumors, revealing that Kim was not working for free.

"Why would my sister @KimRichards11  work for free?," wrote Hilton on her Twitter page. "I know we have a couple of snakes in the woodpile, yet this is beyond!"
