Crystal Kung Minkoff from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is the newest housewife to be attacked by some Bravo viewers, seemingly causing her to deactivate her Twitter account. Crystal has been a voice of reason on RHOBH season 11, even amongst Erika Jayne's issues. Most Bravo fans are hoping that Crystal will come back for a sophomore year, but now no one is sure.
Rookie Crystal has been extremely transparent about her life since joining the show. Crystal's open-book personality has been refreshing since most of the other housewives have been pretty tight-lipped in recent seasons. Bravo fans have learned that she is a mother of two who suffered from an eating disorder. Crystal is the first Asian American to be cast on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since the start of the season, Crystal has already had issues with Sutton Stracke and her weirdness. But for the most part, Crystal has been well received.
Real Housewives fans have always been extremely vocal, but some have become emboldened in recent times by the Internet. Crystal recently shut down her Twitter account, and some followers believe it is because she was bullied. Fan account @RealHousewivesGifs noticed that Crystal deactivated her account and shared some of her critics' messages. One nasty critic made a disparaging comment about Asian culture. The message went on to speak about stigmas within Chinese culture. At the time, Crystal shared the post on her Instagram to try and shame the critic.
Crystal has had numerous encounters with uneducated Bravo followers, and it looks like she has had enough of the hate filling her notifications. Crystal was called horrible names since the new season started airing. The fan account also shared that critics have told her she is a disgrace as an Asian representation, plays the victim and bullied Sutton when she tried to apologize. One fan even went as far as to call her a gold digger and social climber for marrying her husband, Rob Minkoff. All of the comments were extremely hurtful and racist.
There is no room for hate speech, and fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are hoping that Bravo addresses the matter. The network already had to speak out in support of Tiffany Moon from The Real Housewives of Dallas after Kameron Westcott tweeted racist comments. The network made it clear that they support the Asian community. Hopefully, Crystal will come back to Twitter as fans really enjoyed her updates. For now, Crystal is still posting on Instagram, but viewers fear she may shut that down as well.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday at 8pm on Bravo.
