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.

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.

Booted: Richards was one of the principal cast members of Bravo's Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills but was axed from the series as a result of her legal woes and substance abuse issues
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.

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.
