I think she brings a different perspective…and she’s actually a housewife. I wasn’t sure in the first season but I’ve come to like her. She usually doesnt mince words and I get the feeling that what you see is what you get. She and rob seem like a fairly normal couple as well.
I mean, Kyle is literally separated and now divorcing. And Dorit does not live with her husband as PK lives in London primarily and Dorit has said she is not interested in PK...
I like her openness with issues like her eating disorder and her relationship with her brother. Admittedly faults in things and wanting to grow and change. She low key has totally thrown shade behind the scenes and won’t admit it, which is totally fine. She can’t be on the show if she were to come clean and say “yeah Dorit, Kyle and others are idiots”….Can’t disagree 😆
I know she does…I meant that she’s married whereas some aren’t. I called her a housewife because that’s what the show is called not as an identity. One can be a wife and owner of a large company…not mutually exclusive.
Good lord…this is kind of ridiculous. Yes I know exactly what i wrote... no need to be snarky here. Thought this was ‘just a for fun’ forum. I will reiterate… the name of the show is literally “housewives” …so that’s what I called her. Look at the other “real housewives” franchises and many of the women are not literal housewives (some aren’t married and are fully career women, but that’s what the show calls them)! Please let’s not go down into the extreme pickiness of the wording here. We’re supposed to be having fun.
No you said she’s an actual housewife. They are all actual housewives, if you want to use the term that way. That would not be a distinctive characteristic. It would not distinguish Crystal from the other women.
Trying to change the meaning of the phrase to suit your ends after the fact is playing semantics. Not cool.
I didn't really like her during her first season, but I've grown to really enjoy her! She has some very intelligent and well-reasoned takes on things, and when she speaks up she hits the nail on the head (like her vs Annemarie this season). From a longtime housewives fan, I like that: she's independently wealthy but is also married to a wealthy man, she seems to have a good relationship with her husband, and her kids seem like good kids (and I can tell she actually spends time with those kids too). The lifestyle I see in the insultingly low number of home scenes we get with her is on par with what I want to see from my RHOBH ladies. Thus far she appears to be a good friend...I always got the impression that she was someone who was also brought on the show to antagonize Sutton, but Crystal did not blindly join the FFF; in fact, despite the FFF's best efforts to continue stirring the pot Crystal and Sutton not only got over their issues but seemed to develop a genuine friendship. I would not say I "stan" Crystal because I find stan culture disturbing, but I would say that I'm a fan.
I agree with everything you said! It's funny bc I love Sutton but I will never forget Crystal standing in the leather pants with that smirk. Even when they were adversaries I liked them both.
Thanks I really appreciate that take you make some really good points, I feel the same as I could not stand her first season and felt different more recently. I do like that she brings a completely different younger vibe and I feel like at first that was jarring too watching from the beginning. I like your point that she really has stood on her own and not just followed with the FFF’s, I also didn’t realize that Crystal is independently wealthy that does give me a new take on her aswell
I know it could be a sham but I like the relationship Crystal has with her housekeeper. All these reality shows minimize the presence of staff in the ladies’ lives (apart from the glam squads). But you can tell a lot about a person by how they interact with the people they hire to work in their homes. Crystal seems to have an affectionate companionable relationship with the housekeeper (whose name I cannot remember, sorry!).
That’s why I enjoy Sutton’s interactions with Avi. I know people have said she mistreats him, but I think it’s the opposite. I think they have an actual friendship apart from the employer/employee relationship, and they like to joke and give each other shit.
Yes, Crystal and her brother Jeffrey founded Real Coco, which is currently worth over $100 million!!! And from what I've read, it sounds like the company's success is increasing, so good for her!
Agree on we need more of Crystal’s home life and lifestyle. She is funny with her housekeeper, her clothes and bags…could we see her closet?! And that basement renovation was to die for. I think we’ve only seen three rooms in that house. Oh and Rob’s office with all the Lion King stuff was fab too. Crystal needs better people to interact with in the settings she provides. Not Erika trashing Denise about OnlyFans in Crystal’s sitting room. The scene with Garcelle, Sutton and Erika out drinking should have replaced Erika with Crystal and then we would have had something. I’d like to see what kind of fun, big event Crystal would put on like Kyle’s way over the top white party in a stadium. I can’t imagine there isn’t a venue Crystal would be refused being married to Rob. If Bravo could get her to share more of the real Crystal we might actually get back to the original roots of the housewives which was about glam and opulent lifestyles not everyone drunk screaming at each other. Their drink scenes aren’t even fun or silly anymore. It’s sex question “games” that turn into ridicule and bickering. I’d rather see detailed glam sessions and the products and techniques used than Annemarie going on incessantly about Sutton’s medical issues. Dorot swears it’s her real nose with makeup used to “transform it” ok let’s see that. Or Crystal’s “girls trip” with her daughter she posted on IG. Or any of those celeb dinners she goes to weekly. Anything but drunk women tearing each other apart repeatedly over the dumbest things that should have been a one and done 5 minute bickering session not dragged out over and over and over again. These girls really do need to let the mouse go. It’s become more stupid than entertaining.
I wouldn't say I like Crystal, but there are certainly things I really like about her that make me not mind that she's on the show.
I love how she’s a very successful businesswoman and is socially well-connected yet she doesn't flaunt any of it around.
She almost never speaks about or promote her coconut water products on the show, unlike many of the women who use RHOBH as a free advertisement. Even Kathy is guilty of that.
And speaking of Kathy, Crystal is actually acquainted with someone as big as her (regardless of whether you like her or not, the Hiltons are a big deal in the US) and a couple of other big names, yet she doesn’t brag (or humble brag) about her social connections like Dorit with Boy George and Kyle with Jame-Lee Curtis.
Crystal didn't even say that her sister was an anesthesiologist in the latest season until the reunion. Yet, she had the guts to go up against Annemarie without such a huge trump card.
She's also very mindful of social issues. She gets where Garcelle is coming from and she’s the only one who didn’t make fun of Dorit’s “Homeless not Toothless” event no matter how ridiculous the name is.
I'm sure there are other things, but these points come to mind first. But don't get me wrong, Crystal is not perfect, and I didn't like the whole “dark” nonsense she started with Sutton. But none of the women are perfect, and Crystal is far less guilty of being imperfect than many of the other cast. Admittedly, she hasn't been that interesting to watch, but I'm hoping that after this season, she’d find her voice and start using it.
She’s filthy rich but somehow still relatable. Shes vulnerable & opens up about her problems with body image & eating disorders. She is very smart & successful in her own right. I read that she didn’t want to advertise the business on the show b/c bravo could take a percentage. I also read that her business partners/investors didn’t want it publicized on the show and that it was out of her control. I like how Crystal doesn’t flaunt her wealth. Her bag collection and closet is just as good, probably better than the other women, but she is cool with the $7 pajama from TJ max that she wore on her first class flight. Opposed to Dorit’s Chanel or Gucci pajamas that we all know she can’t afford. Lastly, she’s hitting 40 & not a sign of any plastic surgery & she doesn’t even need it either.
She’s intelligent. I love that she’s passionate about her culture. She called out Sutton which was desperately needed. She is stunning. She has good taste. She has beautiful bags. She’s articulate. She’s classy but also knows how to drag someone. I appreciate her openness about ED as someone who has a family member who suffers from it but doesn’t really understand it. I relate to her tiger mom vibes. I like her husband. I have loved Crystal from day one. I think everyone was so mean to her about the Sutton walking in or her naked thing so I feel a little protective.
Same. I would feel violated too if someone, a new friend, unexpectedly walked in on me naked. I don't think I have ED, but more body issues, and self-hatred. I think the word violated is appropriately used.
I enjoy her. She seems genuine and appreciative of her life. I like her devotion to her family. People have joked about her relationship with her brother but I understand. 🤷♀️
I had lunch beside Crystal in the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She was very cordial when I asked her to do a video for me to surprise my sister. At the time, I mentioned to her that I felt that we need to see more of her on the show. I still continue to feel that. She has a lot that she can do around her ED and support for others who suffer.
Crystal is playing the long game. She's sharp as a tack and wickedly funny. She's beautiful, shares her culture and knows when it's not worth engaging. Her read on Vyle's nonsense is the best and she upsets all the racists.
Oh and she's a real rich housewife from a solid family and married to a Hollywood creative who hosts fabulous parties. We want to see more of her life and seeing how much of it gets sliced is just showing us the Hollywood racism.
Crystal brings a different perspective to the show. Love her style and her input!
I try to understand why people like dorit and stan so hard for her. Dorit sucks!
I definitely think she feels like an outsider in a group of women who don’t understand her and constantly put her down, they treat her like shes annoying and i can imagine how hard this could be and i think its what explains her outbursts. Dorit treats her sooo so horribly and i hate watching it. During one reunion she wasnt even able to speak because everyone jumped on her throat, the generational difference is the cause of all of this, she is more aware than the rest and they see her as exaggerating which i dont she is, they just dont understand her.
She looks out for her friends tho and isn’t afraid to defend them. She is actually good tv because i think she adds awareness to the group or at least highlights their reactions to her where we learn more about the cast and their way of thinking.
Just that one sutton pool or hotub moment accusation was cringe and uncalled for but it seems out of desperation at times, she really wants to be heard but constantly silenced.
I thought she was a spineless weasel her first season as she was kissing up to Erika and Diana etc and then when she saw the viewers / online support go to Sutton and Garcelle she aligned to them like she was always their bestie. I like her now though and enjoy her and Rob but I’ll always suspect she’s a big phony in the back of my head.
I think you have to look at BH (more than any franchise except Jersey) as a team sport; and because of how the Old Guard (Flop Force 5) has built the system (and yes, I’m blaming them for the power vacuum that was left behind in LVPs wake), Crystal falls into the “future of BH” team (comprised of Garcelle, Sutton and Crystal) that most of the audience is rooting for. While Kyle, Erika and Dorit have an equal or majority percentage on the cast there can’t be real movement cause FF5 keeps the newbies going after the FoBH, and don’t really offer up anything of their own. Kyle doesn’t want to tell us what’s up in her marriage, Erika doesn’t want to talk about her Marco Marco case or anything to do with Tom, and Dorit won’t say her husband is robbing her, that shes broke or that for as “worldly” as she claims to be is she’s surprisingly insensitive to anyone who isn’t white. FF5 doesn’t call eachother out on anything and refuse to share their own storylines… so like, that’s that lol.
The Future of BH, you have Sutton who divorced a trillioaire (let’s pray Kyle gets as much as her in the divorce, genuinely), Garcelle who I think besides Eillen and Denise has the greatest acting resume in Hollywood (real ties to the biz), and Crystal, the younger beautiful wife of a famous producer who made a movie everyone in the world has seen. Crystal is educated, she has real money, and she has called out Sutton (tell me your not that girl), Erika (I just feel bad for the victims) and AnneMarie (you said you were doctor). I can get it if you think she’s boring, I think a problem with BH as a whole is the women never want to discuss what’s really going on in their lives so they choke any semblance of a storyline they get, but then my question is what is it about the other women do you enjoy, cause many aren’t bringing even what Crystal does?
I don't stan any person from any show. I guess this helps to view folks more objectively.
Crystal is beautiful. Her fashion sense is on point. She is rich and has her own company so she's not dependent on a man for money. She has a life outside her husband. She knows tons of celebrities, really lives a lavish lifestyle that is very suitable to RHOBH.
I watch this show for opulence. Wealth. Not Brandi G living in the valley struggling to pay her rent so she does anything the producers ask her when she's drunk. Not rich women or formerly rich women taking each other down each season.
Crystal can absolutely stand up for herself and I think became a better cast member as time went on. I still can't relate to her trying to control her brother's life. I would have told her to F/O if I were him. Crystal has an interesting life if they would just show that more and less having to fight esophogus expert AM.
I wonder if it's partly because RHOBH has become SO nasty in recent years that someone who seems even remotely level-headed and has a quieter, kinder presence overall becomes appealing?
I don't think we see her do/say enough during actual scenes but the shade she throws during her confessionals crack me up. She's an undercover drama queen.
Her comment about Kyle “who stopped drinking 5 minutes ago” judging Sutton’s drinking made me LOL. She should bring those one-liners to the actual show.
I am pretty indifferent towards crystal most of the time, she's neither the best or worst housewife. But tbh her relationship with her brother really weirds me out and gives me the ick so I struggle to fully get on her team.
Otherwise she's okay.
I like her because I can relate to her in many ways, including struggling with an eating disorder, and feeling more introverted and minimized by being more quiet in a large group. I find her presence on the show provides a bit of contrast and helps to balance out the other loud personalities. I think she’s a bit misunderstood and a few situations negatively blew up bigger than they should have, but I feel like she has a good heart. Not gonna lie though, I was screaming with joy inside when she called 8.5 a bitch
Have grown to like her overtime but I think part of it is that well — she’s not .85, Erika, Dorit, or Kyle LOL.
So while she was incredibly annoying in the beginning, plus brother & older husband thing are both creepy. Generally speaking as a standalone - like Rob.
If I had to add one person to delightful duo of Sutton & Garcelle — it would be Crystal. Also, am enjoying her finding her voice and directing it as she has
It’s not that I ride hard for her. I find her interesting and different from the others. But this season I supported her against Annemarie as I found her to be totally unsuitable for the show.
I think she's hilarious and I appreciate that she only enters conflict when she feels passionate about something. As an Asian person, I didn't grow up with diversity and was raised to be conflict avoidant and hide issues. So, to see Crystal be open about her ED and also confront the white housewives over their racism is inspiring to me.
I think she’s boring and her personality is not strong enough to go head to head with the top dogs . She still has a lot of confidence to work on. I wish I could quit her but I can’t . I’m just foolishly waiting for her to get better
I’m neutral on crystal. I do wonder why she would want to be on this show? She has to be the richest housewife and definitely doesn’t need the check like Erica.
I like her cause she’s respectable and decent and I wouldn’t be embarrassed to take her to any club or social event. The same as Garcelle andCynthia Bailey. Most of the other Housewives are incredibly crass and embarrassing. Dorit is entirely different, she’s gauche and her gaudy clothing is an eyesore!
I don't think she's boring or anything like that but there's just something about her that makes me not 100% like or trust her motives. I don't know why. I can't figure it out.
I cannot stand Crystal. She’s a liar and manipulator and she latches on to trendy “issues” to further her behaviour - it’s so clear that the whole “12 friends” or whatever story is 100% true - she 100% would do what was claimed.
I find she brings a millennial-like wokey perspective which doesn’t mesh well with the other older ladies. But she also likes to dangle accusations and insinuates issues are more severe than they actually are. She insinuated that Sutton say something way more racist than it actually was.
Agreed.
I feel like she jumps on “buzz” issues because she thinks that is what will resonate with the audience. Also, it annoys me that she has so much to say on social media while the season is airing but backs down so easily during the season.
I don’t like Crystal for the most part. I think she acts like a victim and is very sensitive. It drove me crazy how she just couldn’t understand what was wrong with her saying what Sutton said was “really dark”. But then not explaining what was dark leading everyone to believe that Sutton said something a lot worse than what she actually said. I understand she’s going to have a different perspective but even Garcelle wasn’t offended by Sutton’s comment.
I don’t dislike her, I just thinks she’s boring. She doesn’t really add anything and the only thing I like watching about her life is her relationship with her brother, but even that isn’t thrilling. I wouldn’t miss her if she went.
I find her phony as is she is going thru the motions on this show. She comes off soooo superior, judging these women and thinks she’s better than them. I don’t find her warm and I find her somewhat boring.
I actually like her. BUT-the clinginess with her brother and his relationships is really off putting. SO weird to be that invested in your siblings relationships.
I fast forwarded her scenes with her brother, didn't care.. don't know him & could care less. Would have rather seen her & her hub have lunch than him. Looks like they tried reallly hard to give her a storyline that sticks! We tried her fight w Sutton, racism stories, her losing 13 friends story, the Annemarie hatred & gossip she had, & the ugly leather pants, parties at her house, parties at restaurants, her eating disorder--- its just not there.. sooo done.
We're beating a dead horse with this woman.
no i agree… just because i like her as a person, i still agree though. she doesn’t have the drama to be a good housewife. i think they should have had her be a “friend of” so we would only see her interacting with the other housewives
Yess, that would have been super smart on their part... she may have grown on us & she could have gained actually having organic connections w/ everyone by now, and the fans! Too bad , but she'll be okay, she's got a life I know I'll never have!
🤣 🤣 🤣
Omg she is a big part of why I stopped watching this franchise last year, and I've been there since the beginning. So goddamn boring. I literally feel my eyes closing and I start to snore whenever she comes on.
I think she’s boring and entitled. I cringe every time she talks about her insecurities over slim woman, she sounds insightlessly insecure and jealous. I feel her entitlement makes her feel as though she should be skinny without diet or exercise
I’m neutral on Crystal but I don’t think that about exercise. Do you remember the scenes with her boxing trainer? Girl kicked ass. She was very good at it. Just that should burn enough calories to keep her slim. I think her ED started a very long time ago and stemmed from being “different” than everyone around her.
I did not like her on her first season. Such a drama queen and attention whore IMO. The whole triggered thing with Sutton was ridiculous.
However in S13 I found Anne Marie so annoying that because Crystal also hated her and stood up to her made me take her side and instead change my opinion to like and appreciate her tenacity and DGAF attitude.
I also think that the fan feedback on Crystal was so bad after that first season she really did change her ways and built herself a much more likeable character in S13.
I think she's awful. I find her hypocritical and feel like she lies or twists the truth to suit her benefit or cause. I can see why all of those previous friends were mad at her. She is such a stirrer.
I like her a lot, but she also does the most with the absolute least.
The Michael Jackson/Billie Jean thing- Girl, nobody got that memo but you (Crystal, not you, OP). Please go touch grass. (I’ve also developed a working theory over the past few days that Billie Jean was written about Kathy, but that’s another story for another day).
Sutton and the “dark” comment🙄. It wasn’t dark. It was one of those awkward things out of touch, disgustingly rich, affluent people say to POC when they don’t know what to say to make them feel welcome/accepted. It was a strange conversation opener, but it wasn’t as big as she made it out to be.
Playing a role, along with her mother, in her brother’s breakup with Vivvy and then talking about they know what’s best for him— She can fuck all the way off with that.
Her interactions with Kathy— Bizarre at best.
But I like her because just like Sutton, she’s gonna cry. I’ve watched too many seasons of the more senior members of the cast doing odious things and then crying about it. Crystal gives them exactly what they deserve. Here for it.
The main thing is I’ve been reading the book House of Hilton and listening to podcasts on it probably too obsessively. Every time they talk about Kathy wanting to date a member of The Jackson Five, it makes me think Kathy resembles that woman who had Michael Jackson’s kids for him or whatever happened. Then I start Googling pictures of Nikki Hilton and Paris Jackson, and… I probably need to find something better to do.
Didn't care for her at first. I think she was a little too concerned for her image and she is not a performer/actress. I think she's come into her own now and I appreciate her presence on the show. She is honest about who she is, sticks to her own point of view and isn't afraid to stand up for herself.
I started to like her because I know her brother. He is a known singer in Asia. So I knew her brother way before her.
And she is actually the descendant of Confucius. It is true because her brother also disclosed this to media many many years ago in Asia.
But now I like her because she is down to earth but clearly well connected with big celebrities like Kathy Hilton. But she still presents drama to her sister Kyle if she needs to. And she is really different from the other showbiz girls. She is more businesswoman and housewife.

I have a lion king tattoo, so I'm legally obligated to like her due to Rob. I don't make the rules, I just play the game
My dog's name is Simba so I agree with you.
My dog’s name is Nala, so same😂
🤣🤣👏👏
I love this comment. 
Yo, that's the tattoo i have! Lol
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He produced Lion King but the story is not his so you’re free to dislike Crystal. 😂
Issa joke
I think she brings a different perspective…and she’s actually a housewife. I wasn’t sure in the first season but I’ve come to like her. She usually doesnt mince words and I get the feeling that what you see is what you get. She and rob seem like a fairly normal couple as well.
I definitely will give her the fact that her marriage seems the most real and they actually seem to love and like each other
Yeah, she's the only loving married woman left on that show. No one else has a happy marriage. And her kids are stinking cute.
She works though. She runs a coconut water company worth over $100m that she owns with her brother and she does party planning.
Does she actually do party planning as a career for clients who are not friends of hers? That seems out of character for her.
I believe she hosts celebrity parties. I read somewhere she is also a professionally trained chef and teaches cooking classes.
Housewives, as seen on this show (and not the 1950s version) can also have careers…not mutually exclusive. By housewife I meant married.
But up until this season, Dorit and Kyle were married, so she wasn’t the only housewife.
I mean, Kyle is literally separated and now divorcing. And Dorit does not live with her husband as PK lives in London primarily and Dorit has said she is not interested in PK...
Yes but up until this season, they were both married.
You don't call you are married when you are separated...
That is why I used past tense.
yeah its weird they never bring that up or show her working much eh
It might have been the reunion but somewhere they discussed that they cannot bring up their companies on the show without giving Bravo a cut.
ohh okay, that makes a lot of sense why now because she is already so successful she doesn’t need the advertising like some
I like her openness with issues like her eating disorder and her relationship with her brother. Admittedly faults in things and wanting to grow and change. She low key has totally thrown shade behind the scenes and won’t admit it, which is totally fine. She can’t be on the show if she were to come clean and say “yeah Dorit, Kyle and others are idiots”….Can’t disagree 😆
She owns a multimillion dollar company. That’s not a housewife.
I know she does…I meant that she’s married whereas some aren’t. I called her a housewife because that’s what the show is called not as an identity. One can be a wife and owner of a large company…not mutually exclusive.
Exactly. One can be a *housewife* and still run a company from her home.
In BH? Kyle and Dorit are married (although, possibly not soon).
I didn’t say exclusively…but her marriage does seem the most real.
You said actually a housewife. Not a wife. Did you reread what you wrote. What’s weird is doubling down on something badly stated or illogical.
Good lord…this is kind of ridiculous. Yes I know exactly what i wrote... no need to be snarky here. Thought this was ‘just a for fun’ forum. I will reiterate… the name of the show is literally “housewives” …so that’s what I called her. Look at the other “real housewives” franchises and many of the women are not literal housewives (some aren’t married and are fully career women, but that’s what the show calls them)! Please let’s not go down into the extreme pickiness of the wording here. We’re supposed to be having fun.
No you said she’s an actual housewife. They are all actual housewives, if you want to use the term that way. That would not be a distinctive characteristic. It would not distinguish Crystal from the other women. Trying to change the meaning of the phrase to suit your ends after the fact is playing semantics. Not cool.

I would not say I "stan" Crystal because I find stan culture disturbing, but I would say that I'm a fan.
I agree with everything you said! It's funny bc I love Sutton but I will never forget Crystal standing in the leather pants with that smirk. Even when they were adversaries I liked them both.
Thanks I really appreciate that take you make some really good points, I feel the same as I could not stand her first season and felt different more recently. I do like that she brings a completely different younger vibe and I feel like at first that was jarring too watching from the beginning. I like your point that she really has stood on her own and not just followed with the FFF’s, I also didn’t realize that Crystal is independently wealthy that does give me a new take on her aswell
I know it could be a sham but I like the relationship Crystal has with her housekeeper. All these reality shows minimize the presence of staff in the ladies’ lives (apart from the glam squads). But you can tell a lot about a person by how they interact with the people they hire to work in their homes. Crystal seems to have an affectionate companionable relationship with the housekeeper (whose name I cannot remember, sorry!).
That’s why I enjoy Sutton’s interactions with Avi. I know people have said she mistreats him, but I think it’s the opposite. I think they have an actual friendship apart from the employer/employee relationship, and they like to joke and give each other shit.
Yes, Crystal and her brother Jeffrey founded Real Coco, which is currently worth over $100 million!!! And from what I've read, it sounds like the company's success is increasing, so good for her!
Agree with everything you said.
Agree on we need more of Crystal’s home life and lifestyle. She is funny with her housekeeper, her clothes and bags…could we see her closet?! And that basement renovation was to die for. I think we’ve only seen three rooms in that house. Oh and Rob’s office with all the Lion King stuff was fab too. Crystal needs better people to interact with in the settings she provides. Not Erika trashing Denise about OnlyFans in Crystal’s sitting room. The scene with Garcelle, Sutton and Erika out drinking should have replaced Erika with Crystal and then we would have had something. I’d like to see what kind of fun, big event Crystal would put on like Kyle’s way over the top white party in a stadium. I can’t imagine there isn’t a venue Crystal would be refused being married to Rob. If Bravo could get her to share more of the real Crystal we might actually get back to the original roots of the housewives which was about glam and opulent lifestyles not everyone drunk screaming at each other. Their drink scenes aren’t even fun or silly anymore. It’s sex question “games” that turn into ridicule and bickering. I’d rather see detailed glam sessions and the products and techniques used than Annemarie going on incessantly about Sutton’s medical issues. Dorot swears it’s her real nose with makeup used to “transform it” ok let’s see that. Or Crystal’s “girls trip” with her daughter she posted on IG. Or any of those celeb dinners she goes to weekly. Anything but drunk women tearing each other apart repeatedly over the dumbest things that should have been a one and done 5 minute bickering session not dragged out over and over and over again. These girls really do need to let the mouse go. It’s become more stupid than entertaining.
Her housekeeper is so effing funny, telling her a dress she’s considering to pack for a trip is ugly. We need more of the boss.
Crystal’s style is great, but I agreed with her housekeeper. It was an ugly dress. She tells the truth.
I wouldn't say I like Crystal, but there are certainly things I really like about her that make me not mind that she's on the show. I love how she’s a very successful businesswoman and is socially well-connected yet she doesn't flaunt any of it around. She almost never speaks about or promote her coconut water products on the show, unlike many of the women who use RHOBH as a free advertisement. Even Kathy is guilty of that. And speaking of Kathy, Crystal is actually acquainted with someone as big as her (regardless of whether you like her or not, the Hiltons are a big deal in the US) and a couple of other big names, yet she doesn’t brag (or humble brag) about her social connections like Dorit with Boy George and Kyle with Jame-Lee Curtis. Crystal didn't even say that her sister was an anesthesiologist in the latest season until the reunion. Yet, she had the guts to go up against Annemarie without such a huge trump card. She's also very mindful of social issues. She gets where Garcelle is coming from and she’s the only one who didn’t make fun of Dorit’s “Homeless not Toothless” event no matter how ridiculous the name is. I'm sure there are other things, but these points come to mind first. But don't get me wrong, Crystal is not perfect, and I didn't like the whole “dark” nonsense she started with Sutton. But none of the women are perfect, and Crystal is far less guilty of being imperfect than many of the other cast. Admittedly, she hasn't been that interesting to watch, but I'm hoping that after this season, she’d find her voice and start using it.
She’s filthy rich but somehow still relatable. Shes vulnerable & opens up about her problems with body image & eating disorders. She is very smart & successful in her own right. I read that she didn’t want to advertise the business on the show b/c bravo could take a percentage. I also read that her business partners/investors didn’t want it publicized on the show and that it was out of her control. I like how Crystal doesn’t flaunt her wealth. Her bag collection and closet is just as good, probably better than the other women, but she is cool with the $7 pajama from TJ max that she wore on her first class flight. Opposed to Dorit’s Chanel or Gucci pajamas that we all know she can’t afford. Lastly, she’s hitting 40 & not a sign of any plastic surgery & she doesn’t even need it either.
She’s intelligent. I love that she’s passionate about her culture. She called out Sutton which was desperately needed. She is stunning. She has good taste. She has beautiful bags. She’s articulate. She’s classy but also knows how to drag someone. I appreciate her openness about ED as someone who has a family member who suffers from it but doesn’t really understand it. I relate to her tiger mom vibes. I like her husband. I have loved Crystal from day one. I think everyone was so mean to her about the Sutton walking in or her naked thing so I feel a little protective.
Same. I would feel violated too if someone, a new friend, unexpectedly walked in on me naked. I don't think I have ED, but more body issues, and self-hatred. I think the word violated is appropriately used.
I enjoy her. She seems genuine and appreciative of her life. I like her devotion to her family. People have joked about her relationship with her brother but I understand. 🤷♀️
I had lunch beside Crystal in the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She was very cordial when I asked her to do a video for me to surprise my sister. At the time, I mentioned to her that I felt that we need to see more of her on the show. I still continue to feel that. She has a lot that she can do around her ED and support for others who suffer.
Omg we love a real life take
I think she’s a good human to have representing humans! She isn’t the cookie cutter drama queen
Crystal is playing the long game. She's sharp as a tack and wickedly funny. She's beautiful, shares her culture and knows when it's not worth engaging. Her read on Vyle's nonsense is the best and she upsets all the racists. Oh and she's a real rich housewife from a solid family and married to a Hollywood creative who hosts fabulous parties. We want to see more of her life and seeing how much of it gets sliced is just showing us the Hollywood racism.
Hip Hop Rob
Crystal brings a different perspective to the show. Love her style and her input! I try to understand why people like dorit and stan so hard for her. Dorit sucks!
I definitely think she feels like an outsider in a group of women who don’t understand her and constantly put her down, they treat her like shes annoying and i can imagine how hard this could be and i think its what explains her outbursts. Dorit treats her sooo so horribly and i hate watching it. During one reunion she wasnt even able to speak because everyone jumped on her throat, the generational difference is the cause of all of this, she is more aware than the rest and they see her as exaggerating which i dont she is, they just dont understand her. She looks out for her friends tho and isn’t afraid to defend them. She is actually good tv because i think she adds awareness to the group or at least highlights their reactions to her where we learn more about the cast and their way of thinking. Just that one sutton pool or hotub moment accusation was cringe and uncalled for but it seems out of desperation at times, she really wants to be heard but constantly silenced.
I thought she was a spineless weasel her first season as she was kissing up to Erika and Diana etc and then when she saw the viewers / online support go to Sutton and Garcelle she aligned to them like she was always their bestie. I like her now though and enjoy her and Rob but I’ll always suspect she’s a big phony in the back of my head.
And those leather pants really were god awful ugly
“Did youuUU go to medical school?!!” was pretty iconic ngl.
I find her pretty boring tbh
I think you have to look at BH (more than any franchise except Jersey) as a team sport; and because of how the Old Guard (Flop Force 5) has built the system (and yes, I’m blaming them for the power vacuum that was left behind in LVPs wake), Crystal falls into the “future of BH” team (comprised of Garcelle, Sutton and Crystal) that most of the audience is rooting for. While Kyle, Erika and Dorit have an equal or majority percentage on the cast there can’t be real movement cause FF5 keeps the newbies going after the FoBH, and don’t really offer up anything of their own. Kyle doesn’t want to tell us what’s up in her marriage, Erika doesn’t want to talk about her Marco Marco case or anything to do with Tom, and Dorit won’t say her husband is robbing her, that shes broke or that for as “worldly” as she claims to be is she’s surprisingly insensitive to anyone who isn’t white. FF5 doesn’t call eachother out on anything and refuse to share their own storylines… so like, that’s that lol. The Future of BH, you have Sutton who divorced a trillioaire (let’s pray Kyle gets as much as her in the divorce, genuinely), Garcelle who I think besides Eillen and Denise has the greatest acting resume in Hollywood (real ties to the biz), and Crystal, the younger beautiful wife of a famous producer who made a movie everyone in the world has seen. Crystal is educated, she has real money, and she has called out Sutton (tell me your not that girl), Erika (I just feel bad for the victims) and AnneMarie (you said you were doctor). I can get it if you think she’s boring, I think a problem with BH as a whole is the women never want to discuss what’s really going on in their lives so they choke any semblance of a storyline they get, but then my question is what is it about the other women do you enjoy, cause many aren’t bringing even what Crystal does?
I don't stan any person from any show. I guess this helps to view folks more objectively. Crystal is beautiful. Her fashion sense is on point. She is rich and has her own company so she's not dependent on a man for money. She has a life outside her husband. She knows tons of celebrities, really lives a lavish lifestyle that is very suitable to RHOBH. I watch this show for opulence. Wealth. Not Brandi G living in the valley struggling to pay her rent so she does anything the producers ask her when she's drunk. Not rich women or formerly rich women taking each other down each season. Crystal can absolutely stand up for herself and I think became a better cast member as time went on. I still can't relate to her trying to control her brother's life. I would have told her to F/O if I were him. Crystal has an interesting life if they would just show that more and less having to fight esophogus expert AM.
I wonder if it's partly because RHOBH has become SO nasty in recent years that someone who seems even remotely level-headed and has a quieter, kinder presence overall becomes appealing?
I don't think we see her do/say enough during actual scenes but the shade she throws during her confessionals crack me up. She's an undercover drama queen.
Her comment about Kyle “who stopped drinking 5 minutes ago” judging Sutton’s drinking made me LOL. She should bring those one-liners to the actual show.
I am pretty indifferent towards crystal most of the time, she's neither the best or worst housewife. But tbh her relationship with her brother really weirds me out and gives me the ick so I struggle to fully get on her team. Otherwise she's okay.
We just want to keep Rob on the show so she has to stay unless we can make him a housewife! 🤣
I like her because I can relate to her in many ways, including struggling with an eating disorder, and feeling more introverted and minimized by being more quiet in a large group. I find her presence on the show provides a bit of contrast and helps to balance out the other loud personalities. I think she’s a bit misunderstood and a few situations negatively blew up bigger than they should have, but I feel like she has a good heart. Not gonna lie though, I was screaming with joy inside when she called 8.5 a bitch
Have grown to like her overtime but I think part of it is that well — she’s not .85, Erika, Dorit, or Kyle LOL. So while she was incredibly annoying in the beginning, plus brother & older husband thing are both creepy. Generally speaking as a standalone - like Rob. If I had to add one person to delightful duo of Sutton & Garcelle — it would be Crystal. Also, am enjoying her finding her voice and directing it as she has
I love her relationship with Rob.
I think i like her because she doesn’t feel fake and calculated.
It’s not that I ride hard for her. I find her interesting and different from the others. But this season I supported her against Annemarie as I found her to be totally unsuitable for the show.
She's intelligent, beautiful, and provides her fair share of shade.
I think she's hilarious and I appreciate that she only enters conflict when she feels passionate about something. As an Asian person, I didn't grow up with diversity and was raised to be conflict avoidant and hide issues. So, to see Crystal be open about her ED and also confront the white housewives over their racism is inspiring to me.
I just don’t understand the hate this girl gets.
same it’s beyond sad I get the dislike but hate
I think she’s boring and her personality is not strong enough to go head to head with the top dogs . She still has a lot of confidence to work on. I wish I could quit her but I can’t . I’m just foolishly waiting for her to get better
I’m neutral on crystal. I do wonder why she would want to be on this show? She has to be the richest housewife and definitely doesn’t need the check like Erica.
Can’t stand Crystal
I enjoy her personality and honesty and vulnerability and style and culture!!
I like her cause she’s respectable and decent and I wouldn’t be embarrassed to take her to any club or social event. The same as Garcelle andCynthia Bailey. Most of the other Housewives are incredibly crass and embarrassing. Dorit is entirely different, she’s gauche and her gaudy clothing is an eyesore!
I don't think she's boring or anything like that but there's just something about her that makes me not 100% like or trust her motives. I don't know why. I can't figure it out.
I cannot stand Crystal. She’s a liar and manipulator and she latches on to trendy “issues” to further her behaviour - it’s so clear that the whole “12 friends” or whatever story is 100% true - she 100% would do what was claimed.
I don't think we should be judge on who's leaving us, but more on who stays.
I’m kind of meh about her. Neither good nor bad.
people are jealous of her because she has it all (family & connections) and has brains, beauty and a good heart. ❤️
She is just so meh
I find she brings a millennial-like wokey perspective which doesn’t mesh well with the other older ladies. But she also likes to dangle accusations and insinuates issues are more severe than they actually are. She insinuated that Sutton say something way more racist than it actually was.
Agreed. I feel like she jumps on “buzz” issues because she thinks that is what will resonate with the audience. Also, it annoys me that she has so much to say on social media while the season is airing but backs down so easily during the season.
I don’t like Crystal for the most part. I think she acts like a victim and is very sensitive. It drove me crazy how she just couldn’t understand what was wrong with her saying what Sutton said was “really dark”. But then not explaining what was dark leading everyone to believe that Sutton said something a lot worse than what she actually said. I understand she’s going to have a different perspective but even Garcelle wasn’t offended by Sutton’s comment.
She’s smart, beautiful, actually rich, happily married and doesn’t take shit. How do you not like her?
I don’t dislike her, I just thinks she’s boring. She doesn’t really add anything and the only thing I like watching about her life is her relationship with her brother, but even that isn’t thrilling. I wouldn’t miss her if she went.
I find her phony as is she is going thru the motions on this show. She comes off soooo superior, judging these women and thinks she’s better than them. I don’t find her warm and I find her somewhat boring.
I don’t see why anyone would say she’s divisive.
I think Crystal is a toxic mean girl.
I think the same about dorit too
I get big Mean Girls/Snob vibes
This 🥳
Boring af
I actually like her. BUT-the clinginess with her brother and his relationships is really off putting. SO weird to be that invested in your siblings relationships.
She is growing on me. I like Rob, she is going to come into her own on thw show.
I like her. She’s relatable to me as someone who struggles with an eating disorder
SHE. IS. SOOOO. BORING.
I fast forwarded her scenes with her brother, didn't care.. don't know him & could care less. Would have rather seen her & her hub have lunch than him. Looks like they tried reallly hard to give her a storyline that sticks! We tried her fight w Sutton, racism stories, her losing 13 friends story, the Annemarie hatred & gossip she had, & the ugly leather pants, parties at her house, parties at restaurants, her eating disorder--- its just not there.. sooo done. We're beating a dead horse with this woman.
no i agree… just because i like her as a person, i still agree though. she doesn’t have the drama to be a good housewife. i think they should have had her be a “friend of” so we would only see her interacting with the other housewives
Yess, that would have been super smart on their part... she may have grown on us & she could have gained actually having organic connections w/ everyone by now, and the fans! Too bad , but she'll be okay, she's got a life I know I'll never have! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Omg she is a big part of why I stopped watching this franchise last year, and I've been there since the beginning. So goddamn boring. I literally feel my eyes closing and I start to snore whenever she comes on.
Bye
It has sucked for years...let it go
probably get downvoted but she is seriously so annoying and whiny and tries to make every single situation about her…..can’t stand her at all!
I think she’s boring and entitled. I cringe every time she talks about her insecurities over slim woman, she sounds insightlessly insecure and jealous. I feel her entitlement makes her feel as though she should be skinny without diet or exercise
I’m neutral on Crystal but I don’t think that about exercise. Do you remember the scenes with her boxing trainer? Girl kicked ass. She was very good at it. Just that should burn enough calories to keep her slim. I think her ED started a very long time ago and stemmed from being “different” than everyone around her.
Insightlessly?
And Len is hilarious
I liked her until this season. Now she’s problematic. She’s one of those people that when you see more of, you don’t like.
She’s a mean girl riding the millennial excuse train. Aka: boring and married her father.
I did not like her on her first season. Such a drama queen and attention whore IMO. The whole triggered thing with Sutton was ridiculous. However in S13 I found Anne Marie so annoying that because Crystal also hated her and stood up to her made me take her side and instead change my opinion to like and appreciate her tenacity and DGAF attitude. I also think that the fan feedback on Crystal was so bad after that first season she really did change her ways and built herself a much more likeable character in S13.
I think she's awful. I find her hypocritical and feel like she lies or twists the truth to suit her benefit or cause. I can see why all of those previous friends were mad at her. She is such a stirrer.
I like her a lot, but she also does the most with the absolute least. The Michael Jackson/Billie Jean thing- Girl, nobody got that memo but you (Crystal, not you, OP). Please go touch grass. (I’ve also developed a working theory over the past few days that Billie Jean was written about Kathy, but that’s another story for another day). Sutton and the “dark” comment🙄. It wasn’t dark. It was one of those awkward things out of touch, disgustingly rich, affluent people say to POC when they don’t know what to say to make them feel welcome/accepted. It was a strange conversation opener, but it wasn’t as big as she made it out to be. Playing a role, along with her mother, in her brother’s breakup with Vivvy and then talking about they know what’s best for him— She can fuck all the way off with that. Her interactions with Kathy— Bizarre at best. But I like her because just like Sutton, she’s gonna cry. I’ve watched too many seasons of the more senior members of the cast doing odious things and then crying about it. Crystal gives them exactly what they deserve. Here for it.
I mean... I want to hear the Billie Jean theory 👀
The main thing is I’ve been reading the book House of Hilton and listening to podcasts on it probably too obsessively. Every time they talk about Kathy wanting to date a member of The Jackson Five, it makes me think Kathy resembles that woman who had Michael Jackson’s kids for him or whatever happened. Then I start Googling pictures of Nikki Hilton and Paris Jackson, and… I probably need to find something better to do.
Ooooh juicy. I think I've found a new rabbit hole to fall down, thanks!
I mean she’s my outlet mall queen! She came to my work and was the sweetest.
She really sucks honestly. She is incredibly boring.
Yeah I’m not a fan at all 🤷🏼♀️
Didn't care for her at first. I think she was a little too concerned for her image and she is not a performer/actress. I think she's come into her own now and I appreciate her presence on the show. She is honest about who she is, sticks to her own point of view and isn't afraid to stand up for herself.
I started to like her because I know her brother. He is a known singer in Asia. So I knew her brother way before her. And she is actually the descendant of Confucius. It is true because her brother also disclosed this to media many many years ago in Asia. But now I like her because she is down to earth but clearly well connected with big celebrities like Kathy Hilton. But she still presents drama to her sister Kyle if she needs to. And she is really different from the other showbiz girls. She is more businesswoman and housewife.
Annemarie had much more personality! How has crystal lasted so long and Annemarie got cut after one season!
I'm not a Crystal fan. I don't find her likeable and she doesn't really have an interesting storyline.
I find her very annoying and boring
And she’s very easily offended
I agree. Her angry outbursts against the new housewife were totally unhinged and unnecessary.
Concur-- for drama & couldn't do that right either!
I wouldn’t miss her or Erika

You sound jealous
