Crystal Kung Minkoff is speaking out about the internet backlash she received after becoming the first Asian American cast member on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She revealed racial abuse she received from her followers to her co-stars and Bravo anchor Andy Cohen in a reunion programme, including “hundreds of texts a day” disparaging her ethnicity.

“It’s getting better,” says Kung Minkoff, 36, of her opinions on the subject to PEOPLE at the Gold House’s Gold Gala event on Saturday. “But our season just started,” she continues, “so I noticed a little bit more,” but “I am more prepared to manage it.” “I’ve also recognised that I’ve always called Los Angeles home.” I was almost reared in a bubble by my Chinese family.”
“I had no idea how many people had never seen an Asian person on television, integrated, married with mixed children,” she continues.
Despite being a victim of “negativity,” Kung Minkoff is appreciative for the show’s fans’ support from her first debut on RHOBH in 2021.
