Kim Richards has been spied scurrying from smoke shop to smoke shop in L.A. trying to score Xanax.

According to TMZ, the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star made her way to a smoke shop in Sherman Oaks "several times" this week seeking the prescription drug. The website adds shop employees were perplexed by her arrival because drugs are not sold there, but Richards insisted a family member had assured her she could get what she was desperately seeking.

On at least one of the occasions, a smoke shop employee insists Richards left and went directly to another nearby shop, presumably in search of the same thing. Word is Richards has claimed she needs the drug to help her recover from an old foot injury, though the drug is purely for the treatment of anxiety.

Richards was recently being treated for substance abuse at a rehab facility, but made the decision to abruptly leave the program. Earlier this summer, sober coach abruptly resigned after she suffered a complete meltdown at her daughter's Mexican wedding, sparking immediate concerns that she had fallen off the wagon.

Reports state Richards verbally attacked and taunted daughter Brooke right after she walked down the aisle. She also allegedly swore at the groom's family, leading to her daughter vowing to never speak to her again.

Unable to control her, Richards' sober coach essentially quit on the spot and left Mexico immediately after the ceremony. At the time of the incident, Richards was rumored to have been out on a pass from the rehab facility where she was being treated and after the ceremony went missing for at least several days.

All the drama led to Richards being fired from the cast of "Real Housewives."
