“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards has checked herself into rehab!

The rehab facility is still unknown.

It was reported earlier that Richards, 47, might be fired from any further taping of the Bravo show, unless she got treatment for her addictions.

“She may have to go to rehab in order to save her job on the show,” reveals a source close to Richards. “People involved with the show are concerned and might have to step in … friends and family don’t talk about what’s going on with Kim.”

It is unknown what the reality star is getting treatment for, but she has admitted to taking a cocktail of prescription pills, including Lexapro, Trazadone and Topamax.

It has widely been suspected that Richards, also the aunt of Paris Hilton, has had a problem with alcohol, exemplified on season one of her show when her own sister, Kyle Richards, called her “sick and an alcoholic!”

Do you think Kim is checking into rehab to help herself or just to keep her job?
