She is an alcoholic drug addict who is in denial of her problems. She is schitzo. She needs AA, Dr. Drew and drug rehab. The woman has major issues and seems to cause alot of issues for her family. Seems Kyle has been taking care of her for years and she is over it. I can't say I blame her. She seems like one of those "woe is me" people who I hate. Their problems are always someone elses fault. She will never get her life in order until she realizes that the only person who can help her is her.

And Ken was never judging Taylor. He said he would feel weak. He did not say he thought people that went to therapy were weak. She is just an attention wh**e.
I don't understand the use of the word "psychophant" in some of the previous posts. The only word I know that comes close is "sycophant", meaning someone who is obsequious, servile, fawning, butt kissing, etc. I don't see Kim as any of those things. Can anyone explain why they think she is a sycophant? Do you mean psychopath, which also does not really apply?

I thought the OP who originally posted the word was referring to Traylor and was misread as meaning Kim. Not sure though.

Neither word makes sense in describing any of the Housewives.

Which is not surprising coming from an aging Englishman. A lot of older men, especially non Americans, feel that way. It wasn't really a commentary on Taylor's situation. The fact that she couldn't distinguish that and made it all about her is indicative of how self centered she is. Or how defensive, at the very least. Lisa had every right to defend his take on it.
yep. I watched that and thought the same thing. Ken was speaking for himself and taylortrash took it personally and Kyle jumped on the bandwagon.

It does look like Kyle is going to see Taylortrash for the bloodsucking SYCOPHANT that she is.

In what ways is she a sycophant? "Bloodsucking sycophant" is practically an oxymoron. Look the word up before you use it.

Sure. If she didn't have that background I would agree but she does have that on her resume. She was AROUND fellow wife beating victims. She chose to NOT take advantage of their experience and the opportunity to change and fix herself. The women there would have given anything to have access to what Traylor had. The 2 cannot be compared. She chose that life for the luxury and $$ life$tyle. She may regret it now understandably, but her situation is NOT that of most battered women because of her connections and access to real help.
So agree with this!

Whoa! In the words of r & b songstress Mary J. Blige, Don’t need no hateration holleration in this dancerie. Psychophant is merely the melding together of ‘psych’ referring to the mind and/or soul and sycophant basically one who sucks up for personal gain. Like fugtastic, snarkalicious, whorrific, or one of my faves relationsham (Tom C and that chick from the Creek) that fly around message boards, it's a made up word. No need to convene an emergency etymology council.

I was referring to Taylor, not Kim who clearly has every pharmacist within ten square miles on speed dial, but isn't psycho. Then again we're only two episodes into the season. Time will tell.

My blood is thicker comment refers to Kim and Kyle. Kyle and Kim haven't renounced each other. They socialize. They giggle like children when they're together. They share bedrooms and from the previews they defend each other when an outsider (Brandi?) makes accusations against one of them. They still have a sisterly bond despite Traylor glomming onto Kyle and threatening to go Oklahoma on Kim. The Richards clan come across as types who ultimately will close ranks and never go against the family like how Kyle defended Paris's vile behavior during her heyday.
