Crystal Kung Minkoff recently disclosed a conversation with Garcelle Beauvais that left her “shocked,” noting that this exchange has “never been aired” on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She also shared a memory involving former cast member Eileen Davidson.
During the previous season’s reunion, Garcelle and Sutton Stracke went their separate ways, and reportedly, they haven’t communicated since. Many viewers believe Crystal supported Sutton and question Garcelle’s reasons for remaining friends with her.
Speaking on Humble Brag, Crystal addressed the claim that she “sided with Sutton.”
“People need to understand the full picture,” Crystal remarked. “I had a conversation with Garcelle, which was recorded, but it didn’t make it to the final cut. I felt compelled to confront Garcelle in front of everyone on the show. It’s all captured on camera, yet it remains unaired.”
“[I told her,] ‘I cannot move forward in our friendship unless you understand what I went through. And I just don’t really trust you,’” she recalled. “And she was really shocked. I think she was shocked that I said it. I think she underlying knew I felt this way. And she apologized, and she said, ‘I had no idea, but I’m really sorry that I did that to you.’ And I said, ‘I appreciate that. And from here on out, I will move forward. I will move on. And it’s in the past.’ But the audience never saw that.”
Crystal said this was a “really important” convo for their friendship.
“And I don’t know why they didn’t air that,” she said. “So I just think it’s really important that people know that we did go through that. We had that conversation. It was a pivotal moment for me, for Sutton, and for Garcelle and the cast to see. And we’ve been good since, and we’ve spoken. And I just think it’s important that that missing piece is understood.”
In an interview for My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast, Crystal was asked to name the most underrated Housewife.
“Underrated. I think she gets a lot of love, but I love Eileen,” said Crystal. “She and I connected. … I’d never met her before, and she ran up to me. She’s like, ‘I’ve been wanting to meet you so much.’ And I’m like, ‘You’re Eileen Davidson. Like, you are my number one.’”
