Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Crystal Kung Minkoff is revealing what Kyle Richards told her about her friendship with Dorit Kemsley. Plus, she’s opening up about the new cast and why it wouldn’t be the right dynamic for her.
Crystal recently took to her Humble Brag podcast with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey. She started by discussing Kyle’s statement on Watch What Happens Live that she and Erika Jayne were no longer close with Dorit. She then highlighted how it was odd that Kyle revealed something that would happen later in the season.
From there, she began to reveal what Kyle had told her. She said, “I had seen Kyle two days prior to that reunion(Crystal’s final reunion), and even in my mind, I thought they were close. I said, ‘Oh, I saw pictures, didn’t you and Mau and PK go to Mexico together?’ She goes, ‘Crystal, I literally have never had lunch with Dorit before in seven years.'”
She continued recalling what Kyle told her, saying, ‘We’ve gone on one vacation together.’ She goes, ‘It was great. I love her, but I think people think our relationship is different from what it is. We don’t hang out off-camera like that. We don’t like go on a walk or whatever.’ She said, ‘We had never had dinner before, not on camera.”
Crystal also mentioned that Kyle probably felt like Dorit had tried to make her look like a bad friend in the past, because the public didn’t know the true dynamics of their friendship. She also said that Kyle and Dorit may have “different perceptions of what their friendship is.”
This led Cynthia to bring up Maurico Umansky and Paul PK Kemsely being close friends. In response, Crystal stated that the husbands being so close may be why people think Kyle and Dorit have a similar relationship.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Crystal told Cynthia that she was finally ready to discuss RHOBH. She said, “I think this would not be my cast. Maybe that’s why.” She then noted that this wouldn’t be her cast because she wouldn’t fit in.
She continued by saying that she knows Rachel Zoe because they’ve done mommy and me together. Crystal went on, “The new girl lives in Kyle’s house, who is a block away from me in Bel-Air, but I’ve never heard of her. I don’t know her.”
The former RHOBH star added, “Yeah, I just feel like Garcelle leaving, Sutton around this dynamic with that crew, I don’t know. I don’t think that would have been the right dynamic for me. I wouldn’t want to navigate, cause I know I would have been the next person, well, if I had been there last year, I would have had to be part of that experience with Garcelle and Sutton.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursday nights.
