It has been alleged that Erika Jayne lacks any form of empathy, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' newbie, Crystal Kung Minkoff, supports her. Erika has been under the microscope since the season has started. Almost everyone has an opinion on the matter.
Crystal is only a freshman on the series, but she is holding up well next to some of the toughest ladies in the 90210 area code. Crystal is the mother of two and the first Asian-American housewife ever cast in the franchise. Crystal's time on the show hasn't been long, but she has already created massive waves thanks to her choice word of "violated." The fallout between her and Sutton Stracke has been intense, with the two women just not seeing eye to eye. Crystal has stood firm and refuses to be backed into a corner. Fans love what they see, and like that, Crystal is not afraid to tell the other women exactly how she feels.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie recently sat down with podcast host Sarah Galli on Andy's Girls, where she openly backed Erika; the question arose regarding what the mother of two thought about her co-star's legal woes playing out on camera. The 38-year-old shared that she could see why viewers were annoyed with the "Pretty Mess" singer since she has not publically spoken out about her legal woes or shown any sort of remorse. Bravo fans have been waiting for her to make some sort of statement regarding her husband's alleged victims, but not a peep has been heard out of Erika.
The 38-year-old told listeners she understood their frustration, but since she was on the show, she had a different advantage point saying, "Because you can watch everything through this sort of lens. Right? Social media is edited, too, all of it. It’s designed to create a story, right? All I know, for me, is that I saw a whole person.” According to Crystal, off-camera, Erika was constantly present and messaging her to check in. The California resident shared that she got to know a very different woman than the character Erika portrays on the show.
Crystal ended her interview by noting that Erika could be a victim as well. Bravo fans are currently watching Erika break down over the fact that Tom Girardi is still calling her every day and becoming more and more unstable. Erika has started to peel back the layers, but some Bravo viewers just aren't buying what she is trying to sell. Erika has also just confirmed that she would be at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion this past week. At least she will have Crystal as an ally if the question becomes too daunting.
