TMZ posted a photo on its website showing Richards inside the store and claimed that a family member had told her she could get Xanax there.

According to an eyewitness, the smoke shop employees turned the former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star away each time she showed up, since they don't sell the drugs.

TMZ said she'd explained she needed the medication because she has a foot injury.

On Monday, the former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star agreed a plea deal with prosecutors following her April 16 arrest at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The deal offered b y the LA County District Attorney stipulated she serve three years probation, take 52 AA classes, complete 30 days of community labor and stay 100 yards away from the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Her attorney has asked that the blonde former child actress get community service instead of labor at an August 31 hearing at which Richards was not present.

Richards had claimed a foot injury made it impossible for her to do the more manual labor such as graffiti removal or freeway trash pickup.

But the judge, according to TMZ, didn't buy it.

Richards has been seeking treatment for substance abuse issues since her arrest that followed a drunken altercation with hotel staff and police officers.

She was taken to jail and cited with public intoxication, trespassing, resisting arrest, and battery on a police officer.

Richards first checked herself into rehab following an intervention by Dr. Phil in late April during which she admitted to drinking and taking prescription painkillers.

However, she checked herself out of the facility in order to attend her daughter Brooke Brinson's destination wedding in Mexico.

Then, after falling off the wagon at the wedding, Kim went back into a different rehab facility to continue working on her sobriety.

On August 2, Richards was arrested for allegedly shoplifting close to $600 from a Target store in Los Angeles. She spent the night in jail before posting a $5,000 bail, according to People magazine.

She was axed from the Bravo reality show as a result of her legal and addiction woes but her younger sister Kyle Richards, 46, continues to be a part of the cast and is currently filming the new season of the series.
