Kim Richards is being sued by a stylist following another attack by her ferocious dog, Kingsley.
According to the court docs obtained by TMZ, Paige Sanderson visited Kyle Richards‘ home in April to dress Kim, 51, for a “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” appearance. Sanderson initially fled to the bathroom fearing an encounter with the pit bull but was told she was safe.
Once Sanderson emerged, she alleges Kingsley bit and held on to her lower body, including her crotch and abdomen, pulling away chunks of flesh and tearing off articles of clothing. As the lawsuit also noted, Kim refused to call 911 unless the stylist told emergency responders she was attacked by a stray dog instead of Kingsley.
Kyle, 47, is also named in the suit because the events took place in her home. Sanderson is seeking an unspecified amount to cover her medical bills, in addition to emotional distress and cosmetic surgery.
This isn’t the first time Kim’s pet has caused both physical and emotional trauma. The former child star was sued in November 2014 after Kingsley bit a woman’s hand, soon after the pit bull harmed Kyle’s daughter, Alexia Umansky.
Reps for the Richards sisters did not immediately return our request for comment.
