California: Kim Richards' Best Friend Will Sue Over Dog Attack

CALIFORNIA -- A woman Kim Richards calls her "second mother" will sue Kim for the dog bites she suffered from Kim's pit bull.

The gruesome pics of the injuries make it clear ... she'll be gunning for lots of money.

  

Kay Rozario says she was in Kim's bedroom in March when she reached over the bed and Kingsley attacked her, biting through her hand all the way to the bone.

The dog also went for her face but she blocked it with her arm, which was also injured.

Rozario tells TMZ ... Kim's first reaction was, "Please don't tell anyone.  I'll lose my show."

 

Paramedics came and wanted to call animal control, but Rozario talked them out of it and said Kim would handle it.

Rozario claims Kim pressured her to tell them this.

Rozario tells us Kim has refused to pay any of her medical bills. So she'll file a lawsuit next week.

As we reported, the dog has attacked four people.

 

BLAMING THE VICTIMS
Kim Richards calls Rozario's version of events "vehemently not true," and strongly insinuates Rozario knew the dog was in the room and prone to bite.

Kim said the same thing about her niece Alexia after she was also attacked by her Pit Bull.
