It seems that Crystal Minkoff’s circle of friends on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has gotten smaller following season 12 of the show.

The Bravo star alluded to her recent drama with Erika Jayne (and Lisa Rinna) in a post on Instagram. As we saw on last week’s episode of RHOBH, Crystal confronted Erika about the fight they got into over Erika’s infamous diamond earrings and her estranged husband Tom Girardi’s alleged victims.

Crystal isn’t happy with the fact that Erika can’t show Tom’s alleged victims compassion but wants her friends to show her compassion. The mom of two also took issue with how Erika speaks to her and notes that she feels the Pretty Mess singer talks down to her.

On the other hand, Erika thinks Crystal is making her ongoing legal issues about her due to her ego.

While Erika and Crystal went at it, Lisa Rinna naturally inserted herself into the fight and, of course, took Erika’s side. In an unaired clip, Rinna tells Crystal to “keep your mouth shut” when Crystal once again brings up Erika’s million-dollar earrings and how the money from those earrings should help Tom’s alleged victims.

It seems that this fight may have been the end of whatever budding friendships were happening between Crystal, Erika, and Rinna.

On Instagram, Crystal wrote: “I don’t want to seem like I think I’m right, but I am; that’s why it comes across that way.” Clearly, Crystal is taking aim at Erika.

In the comments section, one fan commented: “It’s because you have morals; some people in your circle don’t.”

“Many are no longer in the circle,” Crystal replied.

Yikes. It will be interesting to see how things play out during the season 12 reunion and beyond.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.

Lisa Rinna’s ego is off the charts. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has delusions of grandeur as season 12 of the franchise winds down.

According to the former soap star, she’s the Lebron James of Real Housewives.

In an Instagram Story titled “Sunday truths,” Lisa writes: “I’m like the Lebron James of housewives at this point. You can’t afford to lose me.”

Basically, Lisa believes she’s the MVP (most valuable player) in the Real Housewives/Bravoverse.

While Lisa’s shady ways are great drama for the show, I’m not sure all fans would agree that she’s a make-or-break part of the cast.

Naturally, Bravo fans are quite divided on the importance of Lisa’s role on RHOBH.

“100% I will not be watching housewives of BH if Rinna is gone,” one fan shared, while a second agreed: “She is LITERALLY always worth watching. Don’t say she doesn’t keep it entertaining.”

Other fans called Lisa a “legend” and the “greatest housewife ever,” with one fan commenting: “We got your back! Don’t let the Sutton and Garcelle trolls bug you out. Mean girls to the left. Fox Force Five center and on point.”

On the other hand, many fans believe Lisa is “delusional” and that RHOBH will do just fine without her.

“We all thought the same about LVP, who we love, but the show went on without her and with high ratings. The show will do well without Rinna,” a fan shared.

“They will survive just fine without her,” a second fan noted, with another fan adding, “Gag, Beverly Hills will be just fine without her. Don’t let the door hit ya.”

Others said that Rinna was “full of herself” and that she was “doubling down on the villain role.”

Trouble in paradise?

Diana Jenkins’ fiancé Asher Monroe was caught on Twitter liking several negative comments about her, according to screengrabs shared by the Twitter account Mad Beefs.

One of the negative tweets liked by Asher read: “Diana Jenkins is a horrible person inside and out and the only reason Asher was even on the show was to promote himself … I bet she even paid for it!”

Another negative tweet read, “Donating your money to charities is nice, but it does not make you a good person,”

A third tweet said: “Diana is boring.”

While Asher’s likes turned heads, a source tells Page Six that the musician/actor wasn’t the one liking the negative tweets about Diana. It turns out Asher’s social media manager from London was the one liking tweets on his behalf. Still, it’s unclear why the social media manager would like negative tweets about Diana.

The source insists that Diana and Asher are “madly in love” and that there is “absolutely no trouble in paradise.”

Turns out things got very ugly while filming the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 reunion.

RHOBH star Erika Jayne appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where she shared her thoughts on the reunion.

“Erika, what did you think of the reunion?” Andy asked.

The Pretty Mess singer explained that the reunion was overwhelming before noting that it was difficult to watch some family dynamics play out.

“Ugh, it was a lot,” Erika confessed. “It was really trying, and it was hard to see some family dynamics in front of us.”

“I don’t know how you felt about it, but it was tough,” Erika told Andy.

She continued, “I will say this none of us took a cast picture, and none of us hugged each other as we walked off [the reunion set.]

Andy concurred, “Yeah, there was no cast picture, and that was a first. I didn’t even kind of push it, and I think when you see, you will see why.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm on Bravo.

It’s no secret that Lisa Rinna is the reigning villain on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. While Diana Jenkins has tried to steal Lisa’s crown, it seems the weight of the crown is a little too heavy for the newbie to handle. In the words of LVP, aka Lisa Vanderpump: “The crown is heavy, darlings, so just leave it where it belongs.”

Despite Lisa’s attempts to revamp her image on RHOBH in recent years, her drama with Kathy Hilton, Sutton Stracke, and Garcelle Beauvais reignited her villainous ways. Following Lisa’s season 12 drama with Denise Richards, the former soap star attempted to be on her best behavior and refrain from calling out her fellow co-stars to “own it.” 

In recent months, the actress turned reality TV star has been extra-shady on and off the TV screen. Lisa’s been throwing shade and dropping bombs on social media for months while her villainous behavior plays out on RHOBH.

While Lisa has blamed a lot of her behavior on the grieving process after losing her mom, Lois Rinna, in late 2021, it seems that Lisa may just be being her true self, or she’s playing one hell of a character.

Following this week’s episode of RHOBH, Lisa shared a post from an RHOBH fan saying that she shouldn’t be hated for being a villain because it’s what the show needs.

The post read:

“Hating Lisa Rinna for playing a shady villain is like hating the mailman for delivering the mail. It’s their f*cking job, you morons.”

Naturally, fans had very polarizing reactions to the post.

“Villain is like dr. Heavenly, Brandi, or Ramona, not Lisa Rinna,” one fan said. A second fan added: “I think if she “owns it” that she is the villain instead of playing [the] victim and deflecting all the time, then I would at least respect it. Until then, she is just miserable with no storyline of her own.”

A third fan said, “Disagree. I think she took it to a new level, and it’s not OK,” while a fourth fan added: “but it’s reality TV, not a soap!!! we want genuine reactions.” 

While some fans “agreed,” one pointed out: “I’d agree if she was good at it…”

“NEWS FLASH!!! Lisa Rinna[‘s] delivery IS NOT ENTERTAINING,” a fan quipped.

Another fan noted that nobody’s favorite Housewives are the “nicely nice” ones.

So, let’s hear from you – Do you agree or disagree?!
