Crystal Kung-Minkoff addressed her recent drama with Guerdy Abraira and Olivia Flowers on Watch What Happens Live.
In addition to reacting to Dorit Kemsley, 47, suggesting she’s been acting as a “carrier pigeon” for Sutton Stracke, 52, and sharing what surprised her about Kyle Richards‘ rumored flame, Morgan Wade, 28, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 40, explained why she uninvited Real Housewives of Miami‘s Guerdy, 45, from a gathering at her home and responded to Southern Charm cast member Olivia, 31, suggesting she was “rude” at BravoCon.
“Olivia, I still don’t know who she is. So I’m just gonna leave it at that,” Crystal began on the December 13 episode of the WWHL: After Show of her fellow Bravolebrity’s assessment of her behavior.
She then continued, “Genuinely, that’s not ever my intention so if I didn’t recognize her, I feel bad. I don’t [watch Southern Charm]. But it shouldn’t equate to being rude.”
As for Guerdy, Crystal explained that she had invited her RHOM co-star, Larsa Pippen, 49, to her home before Kathy Hilton‘s Christmas party since Larsa lives down the street — not realizing there was drama between her and Guerdy, whom she also invited.
“[Larsa] texted me and said, ‘Are you going to Kathy’s party next week? I said, ‘Yeah, why don’t you come by? We’ll have a drink before and then we’ll drive together,’” Crystal recalled. “And I really enjoyed Guerdy at BravonCon and she texted me, ‘I’m in town.’ I said, ‘Come by.’”
Once Crystal learned that the two women didn’t get along, she called Guerdy to disinvite her.
“I said, ‘Look, I adore you. You’re lovely. But I don’t think it’s the right mix.’ And she said, ’Totally understand. Let’s hang out at Kathy’s.’ [And] we did,” Crystal revealed.
Days later, once Guerdy went public with the news, Crystal reached out again, at which point Guerdy apologized for her involvement in her feud with Larsa, who shared her breast cancer diagnosis news with their castmates behind her back during season six.
“I kind of got caught in the crossfire essentially … I was just trying to keep peace and inadvertently, maybe I caused more, not intentionally. Then I got dragged into the Miami drama. So that’s what happened and I genuinely hope that they can resolve it because I’d love to have them both at my house one day,” she concluded.
On the live broadcast of WWHL, a caller wanted to know what Crystal thought about Dorit saying she rarely speaks up among the group and calling her “Sutton’s carrier pigeon.”
“Well, you can’t really speak when Dorit’s around, as you saw,” Crystal replied, “and no, I just tell the truth and if you don’t like it, then you can go, I guess, suck it.”
During a game in which she was asked to share what she likes and doesn’t like about her new RHOBH castmate, Annemarie Wiley, 40, Crystal applauded Annemarie for “[getting] in there and [asking] questions” before shading her as “annoying” for tending to go “too far.”
Crystal then said that when it came to Annemarie’s questions about Sutton’s esophagus disorder, it seemed as if Annemarie was shaming Sutton for her “health problems.”
“I think it’s too far,” she admitted.
Another person wanted to know if she felt that Kyle, 54, brought sister Kim Richards, 59, to Sutton’s party to prove she’s close to at least one of her sisters amid her drama with Kathy.
“You can’t ignore the timing of it, so I’m gonna say yes,” she answered. “Do I think that they’re close because I’ve seen them together? Yes. But I think… Yes.”
Also on the show, after being asked for her thoughts on Morgan, Crystal said she was taken aback by how much Morgan filmed for season 13.
“I was actually surprised to see that they had filmed so much. The only time I met Morgan was when you see in the upcoming scenes when she sang at an event that we filmed,” Crystal revealed. “Other than that, I never really saw her. So watching it is obviously very different, and I’m watching it like the audience is watching it, so it’s all discovery for me. But it was quite surprising.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
