Kim, who has appeared as Jennifer Sheridan – the mother of Taylor Kinney’s Kelly Severide – in Chicago Fire, has had a few brushes with the law. Back in 2002, the TV star was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after refusing to take a breathalyzer. She pleaded no contest in court and was ultimately sentenced to two years of probation. By 2003, Kim had checked herself into a rehab center.
