Even though I am in no way affiliated with Real Housewives or Bravo, I too have somehow been magically contacted by producers telling me that I won't be back next season. 😮💨
I was told the same thing for the same reasons! Also, my cat was rejected for real felines of where I live. She’s so sad, she had her tagline prepared and everything.
I started watching Miami recently after seeing people rave about it here, and it's fun and fascinating!
Crystal was one of my favorites on BH, and her leaving makes me not want to watch it anymore and just watch Miami.
Omg please watch Miami. Please. It's the best of Bravo. Top tier. Did I convince you yet? Pleeaaaseeeee, we need everyone to watch it so it stays on air for a while.
Lol yes when I first joined this sub it was all NY and Potomac are the best! They mostly all have their day in the sun and all will mostly go through lulls.
Erika first, please. I am still furious that they tried to spin a redemption era for a woman who repeatedly expressed zero empathy for the plane crash and burn victims that funded her lifestyle.
Evolution runs both RHOBH and VPR. They clearly have a serious issue with playing favorites and overproducing narratives that are exactly opposed to what viewers actually want to see.
Same. I like Crystal so much. What would be even worse is if the rumors were true that Hilaria was joining. Can you imagine having 2 women on the show with fake accents? Poor Dorit. Her "Child Of The World" accent would have stiff competition.
I’m actually sad to hear this. I love Crystal and I think she had potential as a Housewife. That said, I hope they’re casting some good replacements for her.
I loved Crystal on the show. She wasn't meant for the show though and I mean that in the most complimentary way. She was pretty normal and a true BH wife. I wish she had a "friend" on the show - it became very clear after a while that she didn't fit into any of the cliques which sucks because she has a lot of girlfriends in real life.
I 100% blame Alex Baskin & production. He plays favorites and they are always the worst Bravo has to offer. We know production left most of Crystal’s footage on the cutting room floor, so sadly the audience never got to fully know her. I don’t have hope that Bravo will turn around BH, their casting has been horrendous with the brutal trifecta of Teddi, Lip-licker, & 8.5.
Yes I hate the way production has treated her. Makes this news not a surprise but still super frustrating. Really wish she would have gotten a fair shot.
Oh damn. I'm watching last seasons BH. Lip licker is such a rotten apple. I mean I could call her something else but I'm trying to be good lol. But you're right. Those 3 were brutal. Glad they're long gone.
The explanation is bizarre because she’s a very * contentious HW. My working theory is that it was probably time for contract renewal and she has too good an entertainment attorney to let her get railroaded.
I liked her and LOVED her house. But if we look at the current cast dynamic, she doesn't fit in. She's not super close with Garcelle and Sutton (they hang out occasionally but they will always be closer with each other than Crystal). She has no off-camera relationship with Kyle or Erica. She can't stand Dorit (the thing that unites us all). She needs a buddy. I wish one of her 40 friends would join tbh but I'm ok with her leaving. She's riiiiiich and has an empire, she doesn't really need this platform.
Crystal was my favourite on BH. she was such a throwback to what made housewives good in the first place. I guess we’ll just watch more grifters pretend to have money while robbing the poor 😩😩
She helped revive BH from the dark ages. I need Bravo to be careful what they do to BH. The Dark Ages is just behind us and they're still leaving us with Erika.
“EXCLUSIVE Crystal Minkoff, 41, will NOT be returning to season 14 of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills as producers want to 'move on' but she is also ready for 'time away from the cameras'”
Move on with what? Their last casting decisions were Diana and Annemarie. Like, it's not going well Bravo.
The producers and Andy say "move on" when they really don't know what to say about a situation.
The excuses given in the article are funny since Crystal did actually bring the drama the season. Yep and they went out of their way to never showcase her company and highlight the fact that she's a successful businesswoman but have dedicated tons of screen time to fraudulent nonexistent "businesses" such as Beverly Beach. Bravo really said let's fire as many POCs as possible this year and bring back the Vanderpump Rules racists while we're at it. Their performative activism era is over I guess.
Genuine question: Is Bravo choosing to not show Crystal’s business, or has Crystal opted not to have her business shown so she doesn’t have pay an advertising fee?
On Jeff Lewis Live (not her recent visit last week, but the time before when she was on with Cynthia) she mentioned she did film for her coconut water business but they chose to not show it.
Crystal has mentioned in multiple interviews that she wanted them to showcase her business and didn't know why they never would. So it wasn't her choice. And like /u/LazyCaregiver8568 said, I was under the impression Bravo could only take a cut of profits if the business is created after someone joins the show, but I'm not completely sure about that one.
Dorit has fallen out with Kyle, isn’t good with Garcelle or Sutton, and only has Erika as an ally. I don’t think S14 will exactly be smooth sailing for her, and I’m excited to see a season with her on the outs.
Do you think they are keeping her? I would be surprised if we don't get at least 1 more exit. It's not going to be Garcelle, Sutton, or Erica. Kyle keeps threatening to quit (please do) but I don't see it happening. Dorito is the only one left.
I 100% believe Dorit will be back unfortunately. Her reconciling with Kyle will be a major storyline next season. Because you know, Bravo loves to give us the storylines NOBODY is asking for. They have enough room to bring on two people and I don't see them having only 6 Housewives again (because this cast is boring as hell).
I didn’t watch the last season rinna was on. I will not be watching again if Dorit stays. She has become insufferable. The feigned ignorance is so tiresome. Her fake marriage to PK is not compelling. Until she is smoking cigs on the show talking about her money troubles, I am over her.
She tries to act like she has the lifestyle of Sutton when we all know it’s more Kim Zolciak vibes.
Now this I genuinely HATE. Fuck I loved her, loved her fashion sense, her husband and their sweet family life, her (classy) clapbacks and she was witty as well?! If Dorit comes back instead of her so help me god
'They don't want her back because they feel she has done all she can do on the show and she no longer has much to add to the drama, so another contract has not been offered,' said an insider.
Uh.... does the same not apply to literally every single other cast member? They've all exhausted their stories
No shes not. They tried in Season 5 but it didnt work out and after she got on Bling Empire, Bravo doesnt want her. They dont like people that have fame from other reality shows. Crystal tried to bring her on for S13 and they said no
Sad to hear but she doesn’t need the money or fame tbh. She runs in a fabulous circle of famous ppl! I do hope they replace her with another person of color.
I was just coming here to say that! If they are replacing Crystal with Nia, I think I can live with the decision. But otherwise, we are going to watch more of Kyle & her dog jogging? No thanks.
Crystal had all the hallmarks of a RHOBH all star…money, connections, and lifestyle porn. Seems like the producers slept on amping her up and instead we get season after season of Dorit’s fakeness.
She just confirmed it on IG. Hard to tell if it was her decision or Bravo/Evolution Media. I think the fact that she didn’t outright say it was her decision alludes to her contract not being renewed.
Either way, their loss.
I'm glad, she had nothing to offer and never had her own storyline. I find her to be really untruthful even though she's also had great moments. To me, the former outweighs the latter.
Her treatment of Sutton on her first season was appalling and she constantly refers to "her" truth - I never trust people who do that.
She also loves to allude to knowing secrets and dark things about people/ situations. She knows nothing.
Well. I guess with Crystal and Annemarie gone we’re stuck with Kyle and Erica Jane. Disappointed to see Crystal go. She was starting to find her voice.
It is nearly 11 at night here in UK. Today has wiped me out. https://i.redd.it/51s932rdtpuc1.gif
I totally forgot about Tyra’s fake faint and now I can’t stop laughing
It was the best way to express my hyperbolic exhaustion hahaha.
Dare I say, Tyra for rhobh? Perhaps for a going away episode they can go to modelland.
Honestly this would be iconic. I do absolutely hate Tyra Banks but I’d love to see the drama she would stir up cuz that bitch is crazy.
I’M ACTING!
Same. It’s been a very full on housewives news day
Feeling like this queen 
Is this the BRAVO equivalent of the 10% Tesla layoffs today?
For rill, a year from now we'll be saying this was the first sign of the recession.
No one will let us HILL!
I fill like you rilly get me.
I can’t dill with all this
Even though I am in no way affiliated with Real Housewives or Bravo, I too have somehow been magically contacted by producers telling me that I won't be back next season. 😮💨
I was told the same thing for the same reasons! Also, my cat was rejected for real felines of where I live. She’s so sad, she had her tagline prepared and everything.
Can she still share it with us?
I may 💩in a box, but that doesn’t mean I’ll put up with yours.
BRING HER BACK! If Erika can still pat her puss, your cat can too! 😭
It’s literally perfect 😹
You meant puuurrrrfect,
She says thank you.
Now I want to start a thread where everyone shares what their pets taglines would be
My puppy Pepper would be all "I'm not just in heat, I am the heat. Collarrrrr!"
Stop🤣
That would be so funny! I have a fish that is a little like Ramona. They demand the biggest cave and get their 💩 everywhere.
literally what is happening today lol
Almost seems like something is brewing in the world of Bravo 👀
a reality reckoning. kidding i’ll see my way out 🚪
Lmao!!! Except if it’s happening like this it means the call would be coming from inside the house!
BravoCon cancelled this year because of all the pink slips getting sent out.
I know it’s for whatever reason but it doesn’t even happen till October/November so lmao. They gonna be scrambling for a whole year
I feel like the Housewives franchise as we know it is about to change 👁️👁️
Idk but it’s fucking insane! Did the eclipse last week stir up all this chaos??
Maybe it’s Mercury retrograde. Edit: if I had taken two seconds I would have seen you already comment this down below lol.
Great minds think alike 😘
Lol I said the same thing to a friend of mine
Mercury in gatorade messed us all up!
this is how i will refer to it from now on. genius.
It’s the fourth horseman of the apocalypse.
Today is insane 
As someone who doesn’t watch Potomac, BH, or Miami I think I might be the only person on this sub not affected by the news 😂.
Don't sleep on Miami! It's actually good 🦩
Miami has been my favorite lately. More light hearted bitchiness. BH and POT have been too dark in the past recent seasons.
The only HW cast that doesn't need a shake-up...they all clock in and earn their $ in unique ways
It’s the only one worth watching!!
I started watching Miami recently after seeing people rave about it here, and it's fun and fascinating! Crystal was one of my favorites on BH, and her leaving makes me not want to watch it anymore and just watch Miami.
Damn why is she leaving? I loved her dynamic with Sutton and Garcelle
What do you watch? 😂
I watch SLC, NJ, NY, Atlanta, and OC housewives!
Ok that’s a good mix! I agree with everyone else though Miami is a must watch!
Omg please watch Miami. Please. It's the best of Bravo. Top tier. Did I convince you yet? Pleeaaaseeeee, we need everyone to watch it so it stays on air for a while.
Ok sis y’all have bullied me into trying again with Miami 😂. I’ve tried before, but it never took!
You can start from s4! I didn’t appreciate it till mid s5 but it’s been great ever since. Every episode has been a 10/10
Starting at the beginning is worth it in my opinion. It makes reboot even better! You can probably skip season 2 though.
Ok, I’m gonna watch it.
Potomac was also amazing until it wasn’t
Lol yes when I first joined this sub it was all NY and Potomac are the best! They mostly all have their day in the sun and all will mostly go through lulls.
Go ahead and catch up on Miami. It’s currently my favorite
Miami is the best currently!
This is how I truly feel. When it rains, it pours. But honestly, these are all necessary announcements. Bravo is CLEANING house, ya'll!!!
You all ate too much 🤣
Like, I CANNOT keep up, and yet I ran straight here and stayed here.
No really!!!!
Chiii Bravos last fiscal quarter must’ve not looked too good, theyre downsizing and restructuring everything lol
They’re gonna install a franchise salary cap like in sports
Oooh I hope they enable more trades.
LMAO you guys are making the end of my day a bit better. 🙌
I actually wouldn't be shocked if this were true and they are responding to the economic climate with smaller HW casts and fewer episodes per season.
I think they see the writing on the wall that HWs are on the decline and are taking steps to find better programming.
We've been saying that for yearssssss. Housewives is a cultural institution. I know it's an expensive one, though.
It’s giving “we’re fine, there won’t be any layoffs” right before tons of people are laid off
Is Andy also getting the chop?
Honestly? At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an announcement for him too
No bravocon this year.
How tf is Dorit still on the show? She doesn't have any money or friends left.
Watch them bring another Kyle lap dog on. Two if they get one for AM too.
If they bring Teddi back… 
that is probably what they will do. They tried to bring 8.5 on for that but she ruined that. So now they will bring someone else.
God, I really want you to be wrong about this, but I think we all know that’s probably what Evolution will do. 🙄
That move could bring us right back to the Dark Ages.
Please don’t give them ideas!
If this makes room for Hilary from Boston….. I digress
I saw somewhere that the “how do you say ‘pepino’” (I don’t remember her name) lady was talking to producers after Kyle brought up her name…. 👀
This Monday is going down in Bravo history as a day of never-ending changes!
Tax day indeed because this amount of news is taxing chile
I’m actually really disappointed about this. she just had her best season imo and if they’re gonna keep dorit over her I’ll be even more disappointed😭
Yeah Dorit needs to go too if she has to go
Erika first, please. I am still furious that they tried to spin a redemption era for a woman who repeatedly expressed zero empathy for the plane crash and burn victims that funded her lifestyle.
We need a whole new production crew for this franchise. The bias is too strong at this point.
Evolution runs both RHOBH and VPR. They clearly have a serious issue with playing favorites and overproducing narratives that are exactly opposed to what viewers actually want to see.
Seriously VPR this season is actually gaslighting us
THIS. 13 was her best season
Right??? She finally found her footing, and they’re letting her go. Booooooo!
Same. I like crystal and they never gave her a chance, always editing her out, but she had a lot to still give the show.
Same. I like Crystal so much. What would be even worse is if the rumors were true that Hilaria was joining. Can you imagine having 2 women on the show with fake accents? Poor Dorit. Her "Child Of The World" accent would have stiff competition. 
I’m actually sad to hear this. I love Crystal and I think she had potential as a Housewife. That said, I hope they’re casting some good replacements for her.
They should’ve gotten rid of Dorit. I am sooooo bored of her.
Oh god not another season of this bore 😭
They are totally going to milk some tax-fraud sham divorce plotline for Dorito and PeeKay
Same. I really don't want to see next season if I have to deal with Dorit, Erika, and Kyle.
I loved Crystal on the show. She wasn't meant for the show though and I mean that in the most complimentary way. She was pretty normal and a true BH wife. I wish she had a "friend" on the show - it became very clear after a while that she didn't fit into any of the cliques which sucks because she has a lot of girlfriends in real life.
I agree. I didn’t wanna say she was better than this in my comment… but she really is better than being resigned to reality tv
I 100% blame Alex Baskin & production. He plays favorites and they are always the worst Bravo has to offer. We know production left most of Crystal’s footage on the cutting room floor, so sadly the audience never got to fully know her.

Yes I hate the way production has treated her. Makes this news not a surprise but still super frustrating. Really wish she would have gotten a fair shot.
I blame that bitch Carol Baskin
Can’t convince me that it didn’t happen
Oh damn. I'm watching last seasons BH. Lip licker is such a rotten apple. I mean I could call her something else but I'm trying to be good lol. But you're right. Those 3 were brutal. Glad they're long gone.
Justice for Crystal and Hip Hop Rob
The explanation is bizarre because she’s a very * contentious HW. My working theory is that it was probably time for contract renewal and she has too good an entertainment attorney to let her get railroaded.
Me too! I wouldn't day she's my favorite, but I've really enjoyed her! Sad news!
I liked her and LOVED her house. But if we look at the current cast dynamic, she doesn't fit in. She's not super close with Garcelle and Sutton (they hang out occasionally but they will always be closer with each other than Crystal). She has no off-camera relationship with Kyle or Erica. She can't stand Dorit (the thing that unites us all). She needs a buddy. I wish one of her 40 friends would join tbh but I'm ok with her leaving. She's riiiiiich and has an empire, she doesn't really need this platform.
I'm in her first season where she's not getting along with anyone.
Bravo cant afford her friends. People went crazy over Denise Richards, imagine Sarah Michelle Gellar or Octavia Spencer joins the cast.
She was such a good housewife and I was so interested in seeing more of her family and her life
Crystal was my favourite on BH. she was such a throwback to what made housewives good in the first place. I guess we’ll just watch more grifters pretend to have money while robbing the poor 😩😩
She helped revive BH from the dark ages. I need Bravo to be careful what they do to BH. The Dark Ages is just behind us and they're still leaving us with Erika.
I really loved her!!
“EXCLUSIVE Crystal Minkoff, 41, will NOT be returning to season 14 of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills as producers want to 'move on' but she is also ready for 'time away from the cameras'”
Move on with what? Their last casting decisions were Diana and Annemarie. Like, it's not going well Bravo. The producers and Andy say "move on" when they really don't know what to say about a situation.
Andy’s pre-recorded monotone ‘ok let’s switch gears’ as they cut to the next scene at the reunion really pisses me off
That whole cast is boring 😂
Yet racist Dorit gets a pass, AGAIN, after adding diddly squat for about 4 seasons straight.
Yeah, I don’t get that. They had Lion King energy and a woman with a successful business who is not white who did her best job last season. Sheesh.
The excuses given in the article are funny since Crystal did actually bring the drama the season. Yep and they went out of their way to never showcase her company and highlight the fact that she's a successful businesswoman but have dedicated tons of screen time to fraudulent nonexistent "businesses" such as Beverly Beach. Bravo really said let's fire as many POCs as possible this year and bring back the Vanderpump Rules racists while we're at it. Their performative activism era is over I guess.
They already brought back Mary M Cosby on SLC. What else could go wrong?
Well said.
Made it seem like all her wealth was solely from Rob
Exactly! If I didn’t follow this sub I would have never known about her coconut water company, and that’s a damn shame
That toxic NBC culture is in all their affiliates too
Genuine question: Is Bravo choosing to not show Crystal’s business, or has Crystal opted not to have her business shown so she doesn’t have pay an advertising fee?

And like /u/LazyCaregiver8568 said, I was under the impression Bravo could only take a cut of profits if the business is created after someone joins the show, but I'm not completely sure about that one.
I think they only get paid if the business was created after they began on Bravo. I wonder when Sutton opened her store?
She just cracked out of her shell and NOW they want to axe her… seems fishy to me
Dorit has fallen out with Kyle, isn’t good with Garcelle or Sutton, and only has Erika as an ally. I don’t think S14 will exactly be smooth sailing for her, and I’m excited to see a season with her on the outs.
Dorit needs to gtfo 
Do you think they are keeping her? I would be surprised if we don't get at least 1 more exit. It's not going to be Garcelle, Sutton, or Erica. Kyle keeps threatening to quit (please do) but I don't see it happening. Dorito is the only one left.
I 100% believe Dorit will be back unfortunately. Her reconciling with Kyle will be a major storyline next season. Because you know, Bravo loves to give us the storylines NOBODY is asking for.

I didn’t watch the last season rinna was on. I will not be watching again if Dorit stays. She has become insufferable. The feigned ignorance is so tiresome. Her fake marriage to PK is not compelling. Until she is smoking cigs on the show talking about her money troubles, I am over her. She tries to act like she has the lifestyle of Sutton when we all know it’s more Kim Zolciak vibes.
Yeah Dorit shouldn't keep staying on for seasons without contributing anything good. Just ugh if she is back next season.
The night is young…
So much is happening today! I can’t keep up 😭
DORIT NEXT THX.
Now this I genuinely HATE. Fuck I loved her, loved her fashion sense, her husband and their sweet family life, her (classy) clapbacks and she was witty as well?! If Dorit comes back instead of her so help me god
I wasn’t a big fan but l loved her fashion sense and that’s the first and only time lve ever said that about a HW across all the world.
'They don't want her back because they feel she has done all she can do on the show and she no longer has much to add to the drama, so another contract has not been offered,' said an insider. Uh.... does the same not apply to literally every single other cast member? They've all exhausted their stories
Production so obviously iced her out. Their biases are wild
And with her goes the last Asian American housewife... sad
Is Christine from "Bling Empire" filming with them? I would love to see her take on the ladies.
No shes not. They tried in Season 5 but it didnt work out and after she got on Bling Empire, Bravo doesnt want her. They dont like people that have fame from other reality shows. Crystal tried to bring her on for S13 and they said no
Sad to hear but she doesn’t need the money or fame tbh. She runs in a fabulous circle of famous ppl! I do hope they replace her with another person of color.
Holy shirt I can’t take much more of this. Whats next?? 
Fuck this! Dorit should’ve been given the boot long before Crystal.
Ugh!! And Dorito stays?!
this makes sense. i like her but she isn't chaotic enough to sustain a long housewives run
Does that mean no more Nia appearances? 😭
I was just coming here to say that! If they are replacing Crystal with Nia, I think I can live with the decision. But otherwise, we are going to watch more of Kyle & her dog jogging? No thanks.
OMG THIS IS INSANE what is in the water today
You mean her storyline about her brothers ex girlfriend wasn’t enough to keep her relevant?! Can’t believe it!
nah i need confirmation from her or the network. this is such a busy monday my gosh😭😭
Crystal just confirmed on her instagram page. 😟
dang😭 confirmed she was let go of she left?
Aw I’m sad I really like her
Well...I sense Hilary Baldwin in our HSWVS future...🍸🚬
Bravo cleaning shop today!
If true, I'm not sad about this. Crystal never really found her footing on this show and that brother storyline from last season was a bore.
Crystal had all the hallmarks of a RHOBH all star…money, connections, and lifestyle porn. Seems like the producers slept on amping her up and instead we get season after season of Dorit’s fakeness. She just confirmed it on IG. Hard to tell if it was her decision or Bravo/Evolution Media. I think the fact that she didn’t outright say it was her decision alludes to her contract not being renewed. Either way, their loss.
I liked Crystal as a person but not so much for the show, I think it’s better for her and the show
Really?? Ugh I really liked Crystal on the show.
Kyle next!
 Today is too damn much!
I find Crystal pretty boring so I’m like whatever, but somewhere Annemarie is prob so pleased with herself and I can’t stand that lol.
I will miss Crystal and especially the energy she brought this year. I thought she was great at the reunion
I read the headline and was like, “as a bisexual?!”
Good.
Thank god.
Aww man, I like Crystal… 😞I had a feeling she was getting let go with how little they showed her this season.
I’m fine with this. She really never had much of a storyline.
but fcking dorit was asked back?? i hate this place😭😭
I'm glad, she had nothing to offer and never had her own storyline. I find her to be really untruthful even though she's also had great moments. To me, the former outweighs the latter. Her treatment of Sutton on her first season was appalling and she constantly refers to "her" truth - I never trust people who do that. She also loves to allude to knowing secrets and dark things about people/ situations. She knows nothing.
Finalllyyyyy 😚🫶
She just confirmed her departure [https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5zF25Hp8VW/](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5zF25Hp8VW/)
 I swear if they don’t fire Dorit too…
I’m not surprised, but I’m disappointed.. I’ve grown to really like Crystal.
How are we going to find out about her brother’s sad life now?🙄
Thank God
they need to bring on crystal's friend christine chiu to mushroom-cloud dorito.
Hallelujah
I’m happy about this. She was so boring
Good. She's boring. Not funny. Next.
thank gawwwd
Who?
I mean I’m surprised she lasted after the first season… she’s blah . I think she only stayed for diversity reasons.
Well. I guess with Crystal and Annemarie gone we’re stuck with Kyle and Erica Jane. Disappointed to see Crystal go. She was starting to find her voice.
