How Crystal Kung Minkoff announced her RHOBH departure
The mom of two, who is married to director Rob Minkoff, opened up about her future in a video she posted to Instagram on April 15.
“I just wanted to share the news that I will not be coming back to film Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” she said in the video. “It’s very bittersweet. Never did I think I would have been asked to do the show in a million years, let alone film it for three seasons. Every single year I was asked back, it was a blessing. It was an honor.”
She went on to discuss some of the things she shared during her time on the show.
“I just wanted to thank you guys for being such an incredible support for me, and I hope that I have been for you, sharing my story with my ED [eating disorder], sharing stories about my father and his Alzheimer’s,” she continued. “I’ve heard so many incredible stories from you guys.”
After Crystal put the post up, her husband took to the comments to share a joke.
“And I was really planning to ‘bring it’ this season,” he wrote.
