Amid speculation that she could be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season, Crystal Kung Minkhoff has addressed a potential comeback – saying what she would “love” about reappearing on the show. She was a main cast member for three seasons before exiting in 2024.
Earlier this year, she was rumoured to be returning to the Bravo franchise as a “friend of” the Housewives, though nothing was officially confirmed or denied.
Season 16 of the long-running reality TV hit, which streams on Hayu in the UK, is thought to be underway now, with Dorit Kemsley spotted filming this week (per TMZ).

On a new episode of the Mirror Mirror podcast, Crystal said: “When people ask about Housewives, would I do it… I would love an opportunity to keep showing more of myself. I showed some of it, but there’s more. And there’ll always be more. And I think that’s important, just for my own personal self.”
Whether or not she’ll be back on RHOBH, it seems she’ll definitely be on multiple other Bravo projects in the near future.
“I did Ultimate Girls Trip, which is the Housewives spin-off, the 20th anniversary,” she said. “That just came out.
“And I’m doing a couple other Bravo shows that I can’t talk about because I don’t know when it drops. But it’s in the fall, winter, New Year, something like that. It’s been really fun.”

Season 16 does not currently have an airdate, but one person who definitely won’t be in it is season 15 newcomer Amanda Frances, who has confirmed her departure after just one year.
“My time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is complete,” she wrote on Instagram last week. “Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done. And I am genuinely grateful.”
It is not yet known whether Kemsley and Frances’ season 15 co-stars Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John and Rachel Zoe will be back or not. The fates of current “friends of” the cast – Kathy Hilton, Jennifer Tilly and Natalie Swanston Fuller – are also unclear.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seasons 1-15 are streaming on Hayu in the UK.
