After the news broke that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards‘ dog Kingsley bit her niece, another victim came forward.
Kay Rozario, a woman that Kim calls her ├óΓé¼╦£second mother’ was attacked by the pitbull in March, and claims that Kim offered to pay for none of the medical bills.

However, that’s not what Kim is saying about the situation! The reality TV star gave a statement, saying:
“I was shocked to learn that life long family friend Kay Rozario is bringing suit against me for an incident that took place in March. Mrs. Rozario has long played an important part in my life and is someone that I have looked at as a second mother. When the bite occurred I offered immediately to handle any and all costs associated with the hospital visit but was told that would not be necessary and there was nothing she needed me to do because insurance covered all costs. Her details of what happened that morning are vehemently not true, she walked into my bedroom the next morning reaching across Kingsley towards me and Kingsley went after her. She was fully aware that I had a dog before she came to town and saw him upon her arrival. In the past Mrs. Rozario has sold multiple stories involving my family and myself and was paid for her participation in a book about my family. This event took place on the morning of the first time I saw her in over 10 years after a reconciliation for her part in the book. It’s unfortunate how people can go against decades of friendship when something like this happens and make their rounds to the media for money.”
That all sounds nightmarish, but it doesn’t change the fact that Kingsley attacked another person! And that Kim basically blamed the victim again!
Also, a source backed up Kim’s claims that she offered to pay the bills saying:
“Kay absolutely knew that Kim had a dog and she told her she had a dog prior to Kay agreeing to stay with her. Also, the fact that Kay would say that Kim did not offer to pay her medical bills is absurd. They know the truth and, as horrible as this incident is, the truth will come out in the end.”
Kim already expressed that she’s looking for options regarding what to do with her dog, and hopefully she does it before someone else gets hurt.
