Crystal Kung Minoff’s husband had some regrets after she confirmed her exit from the show ahead of Season 14.
Crystal Kung Minkoff confirmed that she would not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 14 in a video posted to her Instagram account on April 15. Crystal and her family, including her husband, Rob Minkoff, had appeared on the show since Season 11.
“It’s very bittersweet,” the mother of two said in the video. “Never did I think I would be asked to do this 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.”
Crystal’s friends and family took to the comments of the post to share their reactions to her big news. But there was no comment that was more fitting than her husband’s, who expressed his sadness for the future.
Rob Minkoff’s Comments on Crystal Kung Minkoff’s RHOBH Departure
Rob hilariously stated his regrets for not doing more in the comments of Crystal’s Instagram post on April 15.
“And I was really planning to ‘bring it’ this season,” Rob commented, which was since gotten more than 6,000 likes as of press time. Although no one will know what Rob was planning to “bring” come Season 14, he already brought so much to the show.
It will be impossible to forget his dance moves at Garcelle Beauvais’ 55th birthday party in Season 12, where he busted a move on the dance floor. “Rob…he loves to dance,” Crystal said during a confessional in the episode. “Our friends call him ‘Hip-Hop Rob’ — that’s his nickname actually.”
In fact, Crystal told The Daily Dish in 2021 that she thinks Rob should be on the cast of a reality TV show. “[Rob] deserves his own show because he’s such a great person, honestly,” she said. “He’s so humble, and that personality trait to me is number one. My dad was super humble and Rob just has that and he’s so talented and he doesn’t even talk about it. I don’t even think he realizes his talent, you know?”
Who is Rob Minkoff?
When he isn’t dancing, Rob, who met Crystal at a birthday party in 2003, is very busy with his career. Rob is a long-time animator, director, and writer, who has worked on some big films, like the 1994 version of The Lion King film and the first live-action Haunted Mansion movie.
Rob got his career start by working as a character designer for the 1987 film, The Brave Little Toaster, which was featured on RHOBH Season 13, Episode 12. In the years after, he went on to direct films including Stuart Little, Stuart Little 2, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and most recently, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank.
Crystal recently teased to Bravo TV.com that Rob is working on a “musical.” “So, we might go to New York for a little bit,” she said.
