"Here's your microphone, I'm done. F*ck him. I'm leaving," the 50-year-old reality star told the producers as she walked off set. "He just totally put me on the spot with all of these people."
By enlisting the help of Richard's children, Dr. Phil managed to get Richards to admit to using drugs and to face the consequences of her behavior.
Dr. Phil's cameras followed Richards' children to her hotel room, where they confronted their mom, behind closed doors, in an attempt to convince her to seek professional help.

"I'm not drinking every day," Richards told her kids.
"I live with you," her son responded. "I'm not saying you're drinking, but you're taking pills. You do this every once in a while, you smoke pot."
"Every once in a while...." Richards reluctantly admitted.
Before storming off, Richards tearfully revealed that she believes her tumultuous relationship with her sister Kyle is the cause of her emotional turmoil.
"It was the relationship with my sister," Richards explained. "It's the overall outcome of where my relationships are with the people that I love the most."
