'RHOBH' fans fear Crystal Kung Minkoff will be fired from show as star opens up about her scenes being cut out

Fans asked Bravo to give Crystal Kung Minkoff 'a chance' after she revealed that her emotional scene with Garcelle Beauvais was edited out

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Crystal Kung Minkoff of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' had a busy weekend in Las Vegas attending BravoCon, and celebrating her 40th birthday in Sin City for an upcoming Bravo reality show.

However, after the Housewife's recent disclosures, many are concerned that she may not return for another season.

During Season 13 of the Bravo reality program, the girls visited Las Vegas to celebrate Crystal's 40th birthday, and things got out of hand when they attended the Magic Mike Live show. Fans later discovered a photo from her birthday that Bravo aired while keeping Crystal off the show.

On X, one user tweeted, "They even edited out Crystal’s 40th birthday party. Production really hates Crystal."

During the episode, Garcelle Beauvais told the ladies that she wasn't comfortable discussing her children with them because of an incident involving Erika Jayne and Garcelle's younger son that resulted in death threats on social media last season.

Crystal spoke about a sequence that was removed from the show, claiming that she stood up for Garcelle at the time, in conversation with Deadline.

"They didn’t show it, but I actually stood by her in that, and I was defending her, saying that had this happened to one of your children, you might have a different tune," she said.

She added, "I also said that had this happened to my children, I probably wouldn’t forgive anyone, ever. I would try to move on, but I don’t think I would ever forget."

Crystal reiterated that "kids are always off limits" and that she "one-hundred percent understood where Garcelle was coming from."

As a clip from the interview made its way to X, formerly Twitter, one person commented, "So we watched dorit and pk cosplay as pretty women for a whole episode so they could cut meaningful scenes like this, crystals actual birthday party, etc…"

Another user added, "It’s very mean-spirited and nasty to cut Crystal out of the show like this. Have some integrity and give her a chance to resonate with viewers since she’s being paid anyways."

One fan also noted, "I don’t like that they did that because Crystal always backs up Garcelle and I love that about her honestly." A fourth user complained, "The editors have been doing Crystal so dirty for years and it’s not okay."

A fifth user further complained, "I don’t like what they’re doing to Crystal." One person asked, "Why are they cutting her out?"

Will RHOC's Heather Dubrow replace Cyrstal Kung Minkoff on 'RHOBH'?

Heather Dubrow just relocated to Los Angeles, and many fans believe she is competing for a diamond with the 'RHOBH' ensemble. When asked what she thought about Heather joining the program, Crystal revealed she has a connection with the 'RHOC' star.

"Would love Heather to join the cast. I really enjoyed her — we have a lot of mutual friends, and we really connected this week on a level that I didn’t expect," Crystal remarked.

She further explained, "We've been texting each other, and I just think that she is fabulous, and I think that Beverly Hills makes sense for her."

"She's moving here," she added, "She actually bought my friend’s house. I spent a lot of Thanksgiving’s in that home, so I would love to be back in that house."

Why did Lisa Rinna leave 'RHOBH'?

Lisa Rinna said in a May 2023 interview with ES Magazine that she left 'RHOBH' when her late mother Lois Rinna, who died on November 15, 2021, appeared in her dream and advised her to leave the program. "Who wants to leave a job?" Lisa stated.

"But I think we all knew it was time," she declared.
