'Not a great look!' 'RHOBH' star Crystal Minkoff's 'gross' remarks against Jeff Lewis at BravoCon sparks outrage
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: At BravoCon 2023, Jeff Lewis seemingly couldn't resist throwing shade at 'RHOBH' star Crystal Minkoff, suggesting that the best part of Season 13's Episode 1 was when "Crystal didn't talk the entire time."
However, Crystal wasn't about to let the insult slide and retaliated during an interview with Access Hollywood.
She revealed that Lewis had texted her an apology, yet, she didn't shy away from using the word "controversial" to describe their exchange.
She said, “He texted me and he apologized, and I said, ‘Thank you for apologizing because you’re a "c**k-s****r".’ He’s b****y, he’s a b****y guy, and it’s ‘cause he wants to be a Housewife and he never will be,” as per The US Sun.
Meanwhile, the internet reacted to Minkoff's remarks pretty quickly, demanding an "immediate apology" to the LGBTQ community.
A user commented on X stating, "As the representative of the lgbt community we demand an immediate apology from Crystal Kung Minkoff for her homophobic language at BravoCon."
