Humble Brag With Crystal and Cynthia - 14 Friends

[@mags7432]

Cynthia pouring love into Crystal, and affirming her is making me cry. Yall are so good for eachother i love this podcast !!!

[@PolitikalUK]

This conversation was such a great display of sisterhood. Lovely comments at the end Cynthia! So sorry you had to go through that Crystal! You will continue to rise & we're enjoying getting to know you ✨️ Love this podcast; I look forward to it every week 😊

[@meowaboutit]

OOHH those 7 or 14 "friends" are gonna be sooo mad watching this episode and the support you're getting!! Stay mad 😂

[@tamaramtl2024]

Crystal dimmed her *shine* in order to not piss off people who's lights were already dark. Live and learn not to do that to yourself :)

[@Samela808]

ALLLLL OF THIS ⬆️⬆️⬆️👏👏

[@chaselim3963]

So well said : "whose lights were already dark" - thanks for the words of wisdom

[@chithompson2485]

Crystal, thanks for sharing. We’ve been waiting to hear your side of this story. We’re here to support you and happy that you can now shine bright without fear or guilt. Cynthia, you are a great friend and the way you held up Crystal is commendable and represents friend goals. Please keep up the good work! This unlikely dynamic duo is perfection.

[@chaselim3963]

Everybody needs a Cynthia Bailey and Crystal Kung Minkoff in their life.

[@Jcinere9]

Cynthia is demonstrating what a safe space looks like in a friend. The active listening, the affirmations and pouring into the one you care about. I love this for you guys

[@NR1991b]

Love this ❤ I kinda wish Cynthia would pull a Sutton and go "Name Em"

[@jenscheid817]

Saaaaaaame

[@jessicabw]

I'm trying to figure out who it is because I'm nosey lol

[@tierz9967]

🤣🤣💯💯

[@letlho83]

😂😂😂😂😂 best comment

[@reginahughes7929]

Yes! 😂😂

[@tinablala225]

I SOOOO much prefer getting to know who you two are through this podcast! Let’s normalize funny, interesting, healthy friendship. I hope this is more successful than you’ve ever thought it could be! Love it!

[@brittneenichole27]

This was beautiful! Cynthia spoke life into Crystal and it was so beautiful to see! Love both of you ladies!

[@roselatham]

I cried watching this episode! I love how Cynthia loves and supports Krystal! Love these two!!

[@nmart1n]

This is like housewives therapy. I love this but I am glad Crystal felt comfortable to share ❤

[@sbb0001a]

Didn’t expect to like this podcast but I love the calm energy these two give off!

[@seriousbinch3749]

I tried posting this video on the RHOBH reddit with my support for Crystal, only for it to be removed moments later. There's silencing going on in the kingdom, me thinks. Love this podcast so much!

[@ClairHuxtable-e9u]

I called out another poster for saying "child bride" isn't microaggressive, and the mods deleted my reply. I messaged the mods to ask why. Silence.

[@chilicrisprichie]

There’s a point where Crystal said that being the first Asian American housewife of BH (especially during the sort of height of Stop Asian Hate movement) felt like a big deal to her, but that she never said it to this weirdo group because it wouldn’t mean anything to them, and I just wanna say that your representation meant a huge deal to so many of us. Sorry these friends sound like types that couldn’t recognize, acknowledge, or relate to the magnitude of doing something in honor of your culture. I hope you don’t still feel the need to shrink that portion of you or your experience. Your visibility was and is a huge deal-yes even on reality TV-and you should be proud.

[@lore.35]

I love this pod. It really feels like we are just hangin out. You are both amazing. ❤️

[@miningho5913]

I’m smoking my weed and enjoying your chill talks ♥️

[@prycerprycer7872]

I wish I could do the same, I'm unfortunately working at the moment. 😅

[@miningho5913]

Girl as soon as your off Smoke chill relax watch something that makes you laugh

[@aliciastalksessions]

.This was amazing! The sharing and vulnerability you both bring to the table is so refreshing, it’s like a breath of fresh air. Each episode keeps getting better and better. You’re absolutely killing it, ladies! Reflecting on your first season on RHWBH, it felt like there were moments of unease, but look at you now, so confident and completely owning your space. It’s been incredible to witness your growth, and we can’t wait to see you both flourish even more. Keep shining!

[@gracieg8125]

So my understanding is for this Season 14. Two of these ex-friends received full contracts from Bravo Entertainment. But ultimately the new housewife position went to Bozoma St. John instead. I will be paying attention from here on out. In the future, if RHOBH hires an out-of- work has been actress in the future . I will be side-eyeing her . 😂

[@brittneyk0158]

Those women were NOT your friends, Crystal. So sorry that you were hurt in such a way. 😔 Continue to protect your mental and physical space, and allow a spirit of discernment to guide you. Let Cynthia’s friendship and wisdom be a support and comfort to you. May you both continue to thrive in 2025! 🙌🏼🙏🏼😊❤️

[@krispyf]

The way I clicked so fast 😂 thanks for keeping me entertained while I feed my baby in the middle of the night. Much love from Sydney ❤️

[@norasm1771]

happy that you guys are getting a good amount of sponsorships!! thank you for lighting up my Mondays

[@saidatoke3124]

I really love this.....helps me look forward to Mondays ❤

[@igee101]

So much vulnerability and compassion in this episode from both ladies💕💕💕💕

[@Solomon5727]

This podcast is such a safe space for me. I love you both, keep up the great work! ❤️

[@MoniqueNJ]

Aww Crystal, you have 7k (and counting) new friends now! 🤗

[@ressieg]

Being in reality TV myself and having a friend hurt me because I wanted to be great was a healing process of its own. Thank you Crystal for sharing your story. Cynthia you have always been someone that poured into others. I remember the advice you gave me and you are such a beacon ❤

[@Peresphone]

I spent so much time dimming myself down for people to be comfortable around me & my accomplishments. I would only ever let myself be full-size in private. It’s dangerous because it makes you a people pleaser and it becomes embedded into your personality. So glad Crystal shared her amazing story❤

[@thnktwyce]

❤

[@emineince687]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy listening to your stories because the topics are very relatable ❤ from Melbourne

[@tonibrooks9719]

I love you two and the genuine sisterhood you have towards one another! Crystal, you don’t need those friends that abandoned you for no good reason. They were meant for a season and you have the friends you need in your life now that love and support you. The universe did you a favor! Be thankful for that and grateful that they are out of your life. It sounds toxic and your beautiful spirit doesn’t need that poisonous energy.

[@AIMom2014]

That's it-right there! Cynthia, you said it: they were never your friends. Friends don’t turn on you like that. I really empathize with Crystal; watching her on RHOBH, I can see the pain, struggle, and anxiety she experienced while on the show.

[@AndriaPavlou]

Cynthia is amazing ❤ what a lovely person, so sorry Crystal went through that , it’s very common, I think we can all relate

[@busynana7917]

Loving these two together - thanks for sharing the true story Krystal! ❤🇬🇧

[@thnktwyce]

This was such a much needed episode. I have always been a fan of Cynthia because of her positivity but the way Crystal was able to tell her truth in such a safe and supportive space reminds me that there is goodness still left in this world and there’s space for the rest of us who are walking in the light. ❤️

[@ahassan92]

Sending you so much love crystal ❤❤

[@GM-vk7ug]

A million thanks for sharing your heartbreaking Story Crystal and Cynthia you’re a great friend ❤

[@OaklynJonas]

5:16 I find it so hilarious that they change the name of the episode from, “going our separate ways “, to “14 friends “. Because I know a lot of people panicked like I did thinking that they were canceling the podcast at first, but I knew it had to be click bait! Once again this is truly the best housewives (not housewives) podcast ever!

[@Jaedoe888]

Yeah!. I am a Nurse of 36 yrs. I got home from a double shift{ 3-11 pm 11-7am. I never left until 8.30 am. I am sat at the kitchen table finishing up breakfast. Took Motrin as my knee hurts. At 61 yrs old. This has to END. I am too OLD for this crazy world of Nursing. I am taking this Podcast into the shower and to bed with me.😂❤

[@chilicrisprichie]

Yaaaas let it out mama!!!

[@sinikiwendlovu6437]

Crystal you’re amazing please leave the crazy ladies behind. Coz you deserve great friends like Cynthia ❤

[@Streaming-Reality]

I love this podcast. I love your support to each other. You are true friends and it’s wonderful to watch. Crystal, those women were jealous. You are so much better than those women they were jealous. And they were not your friends. I love this podcast. You’re both doing such a great job. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@stacidavidson1931]

I have to be completely honest, the first time I listened to this podcast I thought it was going to be a hate listen. During each of your seasons, on real housewives, there were moments where I loved and hated both of you! But I came to the comments section humble to say, I absolutely love this podcast and look forward to every episode! I feel like we really get to see a side of each of you that was never shown on the show! I’m so happy that you both came together and create this content for all of us ❤

[@JRCM328]

Thank you Crystal for sharing your story that was so heartbreaking to hear. You are free to be happy and to continue to move forward and shine. To that person who didn’t get the show and rained on your parade…..you should be ashamed of yourself. No one deserves to be treated the way you did. They are not someone to surround yourself with. Losing that group made room for Cynthia and all of your Humble Braggers to be your friends! Best podcast ever! ❤

[@sydnasscruggs]

Love you ladies!! So down to earth.

[@franciscacruz9508]

Such an important conversation to have, when dealing with mean girls, its so difficult dealing with people who LIE on your name & slander/accuse you of THiNGS you didn't do.. ughh what a drag :/ Maybe they'd be better suited focusing on their marriage (side eye) instead.

[@lisaroy2721]

Thank you this same scenario has happened to me multiple times in work and social settings. It’s nice to know I am not alone.

[@roxanemontegna9867]

You're not alone. It happens on all levels every age.

[@unaerasmus4276]

You are better off without that group of mean girls! You are too sweet a lady to be involved with such toxicity ❤🎉

[@ChrisCupcake3]

Thx for sharing this story. Been wondering when you would & it was nice to unpack this together

[@mirella8733]

Thank you for sharing ladies, feeling the love and support what a great friendship

[@notapplicable4283]

This makes Kyle even more conniving when you consider her own sister backed Crystal (so she must have knew some of the behind-the-scenes stuff), and that Kyle weaponized it against Crystal when she was also the one who prodded Crystal to talk about her issues with Sutton to make Crystal seem like a bad, and disloyal friend.

[@lindsayder]

Congrats on getting all the sponsors although the fasting one was a bit weird given Crystal's history. Also I def kept thinking of Nene and the friend contract and then "the door is closed!" during this episode 😂

[@itsokmaybe]

Ugh, I love this podcast! Great conversation as usual, thank you girls🤎

[@kelliteague2505]

Aw I love Crystal please don’t cry those people are not worth it.❤️❤️❤️

[@mel3.6.5]

Female friendships (when healthy) can be the most beautiful thing you can ever experience. However, if you're not careful you can end up in the most toxic, draining, and even dangerous situations. I personally keep my circle small but nothing against those that need more people around them. Happy Crystal is doing better and has Cynthia by her side to hold space for her. ❤❤❤

[@tavareseuells3789]

Obsessed with these two ❤❤

[@user-ef5id9km3p]

I have been waiting for this episode and I'm so sad Crystal had to go through that. Cynthis is right, they were never her friends if they could turn on her like that and then be so spiteful. That's next level mean. And they're old to boot. I mean, aint nobody got the time and energy post 40s to be playing mean girls. The main woman is obviously not happy internally if she could become so vindictive and vengeful. Sad for her too living her sad angry life. Love the friendship Crystal has with Cynthia. That's true friendship.

[@MyDemi19]

When Crystal cried in the end... I cried too...

[@edison16171]

Loving the Pod!

[@spongybob06]

Really love this podcast. Coming in fron Spotify! Sending❤❤❤ to Crystal... Cynthia is giving great advice!

[@emmmmer0]

decided to listen during my workout this morning and now I’m tearing up at the squat rack, amazing episode (love us fans being called humble braggers too lol) ❤️

[@andreabrooks4591]

I love this friendship ❤

[@roxanemontegna9867]

British Singer? Robbie Williams and his actress Wife Ayda. They were on WWHL and he said Ayda should be on RHOBH. Kathy's so cool and She's been around Beverly Hills her entire life so not only does she know the Game but she's The Queen.

[@pitlana]

My faaavs!!! Off to run my evening bath for this episode 😂

[@Honey-may-33]

I feel for you Crystal and I understand it, because my sister-in-law and her daughter just did the same thing to me. (I am still trying to understand the hate behind their actions???) ❤❤❤ You are both wonderful people and thank you for sharing this with us.❤❤❤

[@miningho5913]

Keep making more videos please ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@creativeideator]

Cynthia is such a sweet friend 🥰

[@kennethdrake7686]

Now see this is why I listen to this podcast!!!! They might not come in and take over a scene but this is good Housewives!!!!! True and authentic love love love the podcast! Love from Alabama

[@mags7432]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS !!!!

[@jeskuo]

I was looking at this and the theme song and was thinking "why does this look so familiar?", then realized its in the same studio and network as the Disprespectfully podcast! Hope they do a crossover

[@louiseb6459]

EVERYTHING Cynthia said!!!!!❤

[@germmate329]

Crystal!!! Thanks 4 sharing this. I can relate

[@lexsmart4711]

My God.. I love yall!!! Crystal , you are strong , amazing and worthy of everything you have and coming your way 👏🏾👏🏾.

[@alexe4318]

I think this was a humbling experience for Crystal that she needed. I'm sure she won't admit that she was once one of them and participated in the mean girl behavior but when it was her turn it didn't feel so good.

[@prycerprycer7872]

Crystal I went through something similar. I lost both family and friends due to my cousin spreading lies and people believing her and them not giving me the benefit of the doubt. True friends would not have sided and they would of heard you out. Take it as a life listen and that those women were not your friends. The older you get the less people will be in your circle.

[@JRCM328]

I love Mondays because of Humble Brag! ❤

[@SoCalValGal]

LVP is the definition of a rich housewife who decided to do the show but was very successful despite RHOBH & became more successful because of it. No one knew her name until she went on Beverly Hills but now people go on the "LVP tour" and go to all her restaurants and donate to her dog charity so that was a win-win for her

[@stephaniegreene3872]

definitely been there.. Crystal you are amazing dont let anyone hurt you like that again you deserve better. i always say everything happens for a reason because it jad to happen for you to be where you are now love yiu guys so much

[@McDears27]

Hi, Ayda. I genuinely like Crystal. She was an amazing addition to the RHOBH cast, has become the origin of an iconic line, brought real subjects to the table and left with her head high. She won the game and I now understand a lil bit more why she wasn't the fun woman we are now used to. Bullying doesn't care about social class and I feel like it's worst when this much power is given to those bullies. Only time and therapy help. If it happens to you: know that this loneliness and fears are temporary, seek help however you can. You are stronger than you think you are.

[@TheRichyrich818]

I think this is my favorite episode tbh. And I’m say this every week until it happens…where the hell is Delta? My girls need to party in the back in coach!!

[@tamaramtl2024]

I had a fall out situation with a group of friends in my mid twenties. Only to move on and know that some of these girls had a low key hate for me. It's shocking at first , move on and get selective about who you choose as friends moving forward :) It's God's way of filtering out the fake friends. :)

[@mobrown7594]

The show is called real housewives of Beverly Hills and Crystal is a housewife, not the real actresses that want to do it of Beverly Hills lol. Name em lol

[@busynana7917]

This is what Cynthia has always been like - she’s a woman’s woman thru & thru! ❤❤❤❤

[@britre40]

Loved you ladies on Jeff Lewis live. love my CHUMPS!

[@delxdel]

I tried researching who the friend could be but nothing comes up. But Crystal said she'll prob end up on the show so we'll see.

[@delxdel]

For anyone still curious the name that keeps coming up is Ayda Fields.

[@trentonhuntley9966]

My instincts are telling me it’s Chrissy Tiegen. Idk if that’s how you spell her last name. Idk why, but that is the name that springs to mind.

[@Andtherewaslight427]

Is Chrissy an actress?

[@delxdel]

ayda fields, I looked it up but the giveaway is that she was on wwhl yesterday with her husband, doubt it's a coincidence she told this story the same day she was on the show (andy even mentions that she's been asked to do it before)

[@roxanemontegna9867]

No. Robbie Williams Wife Ayda.

[@Heidella]

Her husband wanted her to do it and had the audience saying do it! do it! after Andy asked her several times how many times in the past years they've asked her to come on. Somethings not right. Ayda doesn't need the housewife show she's super rich, has mansions, travels everywhere and the life most of those women want. @@delxdel

[@rdaux]

I'm with you Cynthia! My tree is 12 feet tall and at my entryway. It took so much work. I told my husband it will stay up until January 31st or February 1st. My son is 15 months old, and he had his own 3 foot tree with soft ornaments in the living room. He doesn't really bother the big tree.

[@TrayLaw]

preach Cynthia!!!

[@SheisSS]

Someone said ayda fields. If it is her she was never your friend, crystal.

[@forevertearany]

Cystal this is sad that as an adult those women act like this. I had a similar situation happen to me when I was middle school were one girl turned a bunch a girls against me because of a boy. They showed up at my house to jump me, but they didn't. By high school most of them tried to be my friend again but I didn't trust them to let them get close to me. To see grown women in their 30's and 40's still act this way is saddening. The 14 mean girls were a blessing and a lesson so you can see who your friends are actually. Cynthia is such a supportive friend that gives you prospective. I loved this conversation. PS, the leader of the mean girls, "the jealous one", better never mention she was a part of the mean girl clique if she ever gets on the show because this podcast will come up and her character will be judged.

[@GaeaThomson-f9q]

This friendship is everything. I hate that this happened to Crystal, total high school behavior. You’re better off without them, I’m glad you’ve found a good friendship with Cynthia ♥️

[@simonetaylor8922]

Cynthia is such a good person one of the reasons why she was my favourite on rhoa

[@Andtherewaslight427]

This is the first time I relate to an episode. I went through this with family. Crystal, if you ever see this, at least these were your friends. I was abandoned and iced out by my family. "My Cynthia" is now my partner. I'm looking at you taking in what Cynthia was saying to you. Affirming you felt like an out of body experience. Rebuilding has been so scary. I understand every emotion you went through. Love and light.

[@orlandoennis1047]

sounds like crystal was friends with a bunch of mean girls, which makes me wonder why she was friends with them in the first place and still wants to be friends with them?

[@nmart1n]

Honestly, it is easily done. You need something major to happen to you or for you and you find out. This has happened to me.

[@dva5610]

Sounds like a mommy and me group like she said. Most mothers who have children try and find friends they can bond with etc.

[@treseon]

You missed the part where she said she doesn’t care to be friends with them anymore ?

[@orlandoennis1047]

@@dva5610 i get that but its crazy how she initially said they were also being mean to someone before her, yet she still stayed at that point

[@fernanda33917]

This is exactly what I picture women in Beverly Hills being like--super mean spirited and all about power trips and cliques. Horrible and scary. Does so much damage to your psyche to be around toxic people like this. Glad crystal got out, much healthier than being friends with insane, immature women.

[@roxanemontegna9867]

Unfortunately I've had this experience. Human beings are unpredictable more than any wild animal.

[@amandamatthews6348]

Thank you

[@roxanemontegna9867]

I knew you before Housewives Cynthia. We lived in N.Y. and I worked in Couture so you were known. Please give yourself credit.

[@amandamatthews6348]

I've been through this. I appreciate you Cynthia and Crystal. Interesting.

[@smburrell4529]

Hugs to Crystal

[@debbieshuta1854]

Re story about crystals ex friend group, they sound petty and immature. Crystal hold your head high - they were being petty.

[@Bravofandom00]

Totally understand how uncomfortable it must have been for you Crystal on the show. Well they must be pissed that your star is rising now ! ❤

[@kimmerso1]

As Sutton says "name 'em" lol.. but i respect you didnt.
