Crystal Kung Minkoff has put an end to speculation about an immediate return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. While she remains open to holding a diamond again in the future, she confirmed that viewers should not expect to see her back next season.
The former RHOBH star addressed the rumors after repeated online chatter about her possible return to the Bravo franchise.
Crystal Kung Minkoff confirms she won’t return next season but says she would consider coming back
When asked whether she would ever return to the Real Housewives, Minkoff did not rule out the possibility.
“Um, yeah, I would. I would, but I’m going to say this here today. I’m not going back next year. Okay,” she said.
Minkoff explained that questions about her status had become frequent as speculation surrounding the RHOBH cast continued.
“Yes. Cuz it’s been out there a lot. I keep getting asked every day. It’s everywhere,” she added.
Part of the Crystal Kung Minkoff return speculation may have come from her continued involvement with people and projects connected to the network. Minkoff pointed specifically to her decision to participate in Ultimate Girls Trip.
“I know. I know. And I think because I did Ultimate Girls Trip, I said yes to that. I think that stirred up a lot of conversation,” she explained.
She also referenced her involvement with Jeff Lewis and his show. Minkoff and Lewis previously had what she described as their own “Bravo infamous feud,” but their relationship has since changed.
According to Minkoff, Cynthia Bailey helped bring the two together.
“I think Jeff we had our own little Bravo infamous feud against each other and it was really Cynthia who brought us together,” Minkoff said.
Despite staying connected to the Bravo world through appearances and relationships with other personalities, Minkoff made her immediate plans clear. She will not rejoin The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season.
However, her willingness to consider another run means she has not permanently closed the door on a future comeback.
