More trouble for Kim Richards: The axed RHOBH star, seen last month, was arrested for shoplifting on Sunday and spent the night in jail before being released on Monday, after posting $5000 bail
Kim spent the night behind bars and was released after posting $5,000 bail on Monday afternoon.
According to ET, she was booked at 7.29pm on Sunday - three hours after being placed under citizen's arrest.
Just two weeks ago, the troubled reality star had told TMZ that she was 'doing well' after leaving rehab, adding: 'I'm loving my sobriety.'
It came shortly after claims that she fled the Malibu rehab facility where she was being treated for her addiction to alcohol in the middle of the night.

E! has since alleged that Kim is currently staying with half-sister Kathy Hilton following her month-long rehab stint.
She recently moved out of her upscale rental home in LA because, it was claimed, she could no longer afford it now that she's no longer part of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
'Kim is upbeat, but uncertain about her future,' a source told E! News. 'But she needs to find her own place to live soon.'
Axed: The 50-year-old has been axed from The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, She is seen here on season five with sister Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville, who will also not be returning
'Financially, she's stressed,' the insider added. 'Without her Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills salary, she's going to have to figure something out. There have been small roles here and there, but she needs money.'
Although she has been a member of the Bravo reality show since the start in 2010, the blonde socialite will no longer appear 'in any capacity,' according to a new report.
When news first broke that she would not be returning as a full-time cast member, it was suggested she could make cameo appearances but TMZ claimed she's been completely axed from the series.
Feeling the pressure: Kim left rehab in May to attend daughter Brooke's wedding, but felt judged as she joined the festivities following treatment and ended up relapsing
The troubled reality star originally checked into rehab after her April arrest for public intoxication and battery but left to attend her daughter's wedding in May.
She checked herself back into a different rehab facility when she fell off the wagon at Brooke Brinson's nuptials in Mexico.
Earlier last month, Kim told ET of relapsing at the wedding: 'I was stressed and everybody was looking at me…the bride and groom and the mom who just got out of treatment.
'I was super stressed out and I looked on the ground and there were two little margaritas and I think I drank one. I am not even sure. That mixture of [treatment center prescribed medication] so that is why I probably drank.'
New life: Sources say the relaity star is 'struggling financially' and currently staying with sister Kathy Hilton. She is seen here in January
