Overview
- On Monday, June 1, Crystal Kung Minkoff said on her Humble Brag podcast that her phone was “blowing up” over comeback rumors and that she is “finally ready” to consider returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
- She said she has had ongoing, informal conversations with Bravo and has stayed in the network orbit through appearances such as Ultimate Girls Trip and podcast work.
- Minkoff expressed a clear preference for returning in a lower-commitment ‘‘friend’’ role rather than as a full Housewife and said any decision would depend on how she fits with the season’s cast.
- She named specific cast dynamics she would navigate if she returned, saying she has mixed feelings about Amanda Frances, would still be friends with Sutton Stracke, and is currently on good terms with Kyle Richards.
- Minkoff debuted on RHOBH in 2021 and left ahead of season 14 in 2024 after producers said she lacked a storyline according to one unnamed insider, and any formal comeback would hinge on Bravo’s casting plans and whether producers see a clear role for her.
