“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Crystal Kung Minkoff says she would eventually return to the Bravo series if asked.
During a March 2025 episode of her podcast, “Humble Brag,” co-hosted by Cynthia Bailey, their guest, fellow RHOBH alum Denise Richards asked Minkoff if she would come back to the show. As fans are aware, Minkoff exited RHOBH following its 13th season after starring in the series for three seasons.
“I would go back. Not soon,” said Minkoff during the podcast episode.
She also said she “had mixed feelings” about her RHOBH exit. However, she said the situation was made “easier” because her husband, Rob Minkoff, and their children, Max and Zoe, “were relieved” to stop filming the series.
Minkoff also said starting her podcast with Bailey following her RHOBH exit was “the best thing for [her].”
“This has been my healing. Because I have just been able to be myself,” said Minkoff on her podcast.
Crystal Kung Minkoff Spoke About Her RHOBH Exit in October 2024
Minkoff opened up about her exit from RHOBH in an October 2024 episode of “Humble Brag.” According to Minkoff, she and production had a conversation before RHOBH season 14. Minkoff suggested she was told she did not have enough of a storyline to star in the show’s 14th season. She said production offered her to “embellish” aspects of her life for season 14. She said, however, that she was uncomfortable doing so.
โThere was a lot of conversation about what that looked like โ whatโs going on in my life. And it felt like it was stretching the truth for me to make a story that didnโt really make sense,โ said Minkoff during the October 2024 podcast episode. โAnd I was like, โOkay, I guess I could do that. But then what I get worried โฆ about then it becomes, like, your reality and the audience chimes in.โ And then I was like, โWell, then itโs going to start getting, like, really convoluted to where this is now my reality over here. But actually this was the reality. I was willing to go here, I donโt want to go here.’โ
