Kyle Richards expressed mixed feelings about Crystal Minkoff’s departure from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” acknowledging it as sad but also recognizing the potential for a fulfilling life beyond reality TV.
Oh, Kyle Richards. She’s got feelings about Crystal Minkoff leaving *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*. It’s a mix of sad and hopeful, you know? Kyle, at 55, spilled the beans during a chat on Amazon Live last Tuesday. “Mixed feelings,” she said. Not about Crystal personally, but about the whole situation. It’s like, yes, it’s a bummer, but also, life’s pretty sweet away from the reality TV drama.
Crystal, only 41, dropped the bombshell herself. Through an Instagram video, no less, on a Monday. She’s bowing out after three seasons. “Never thought I’d be asked to join, let alone stick around for three seasons,” she reflected. Every year was a blessing, an honor even.
And then there’s the reaction from other celebs. Octavia Spencer, Paula Abdul, and more were all like, “You’ll be missed!” It’s a reminder that even stars get hooked on Bravo’s drama.
Crystal’s proud, though. Proud of representing Asian Americans and sharing her battle with an eating disorder. It’s been rewarding, she said. Connecting with fans, sharing stories—it’s been the biggest gift of all.
She’s not disappearing, though. Crystal teased some upcoming projects, promising to keep in touch with her fans. Meanwhile, whispers around town say she’s devastated about leaving the show. “She was fired,” an insider claimed. “No storyline, no show.”
Kyle’s future on *RHOBH* is up in the air. She’s the last of the original cast, yet her return is a big TBD. “We spoke in a group about Crystal,” she mentioned. But as for her own return? She’s keeping mum for now.
Life in Beverly Hills is never dull, huh? Between exits, new projects, and the endless speculation about who’s in and who’s out, it’s a full-time job keeping up. But hey, that’s why we love it, right?
