Crystal Kung Minkoff is not letting Southern Charm star Olivia Flowers‘ recent claims about their BravoCon interaction get her down.
“I heard about who she was a week ago. I don’t know who she is,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 40, quipped during the Thursday, December 7, episode of the “Viall Files” podcast. “And let me tell you something: My glam team [asked] me, ‘Did you see this?’ I don’t know who she is [and] I feel bad.”
Kung Minkoff explained that her hair and makeup squad forwarded a photo that Flowers, 31, had posted when the Bravo stars met “a year ago.” The way Kung Minkoff sees it, Flowers is “mad” about not being recognized at BravoCon last month despite the pair’s past interaction.
“[It’s] not rude. There’s a lot of people that don’t know who I am [and] I’m not like, ‘You’re rude. You should know who I am,'” Kung Minkoff said. “Genuinely, I don’t watch [any of the other Bravo] shows, so if I don’t recognize you, it’s not a [diss]. That’s an ego-driven thing that has nothing to do with me.”
Biggest BravoCon 2023 Revelations and Show Announcements
Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images Bravo made sure to “mention it all” at BravoCon 2023, dropping show teasers and more bombshell revelations. The third annual convention kicked off in Las Vegas on Friday, November 3, with more than 150 Bravolebrities appearing at Caesars Forum throughout the weekend. “I predict chaos. I predict people overdrinking and being overserved […]
“You hit the nail on the head,” Kung Minkoff replied. “That picture, my team reminded me, [was of] me, her and another girl. At that time, these two girls came up to me and said, ‘We said hi to you outside and we think you think we’re fans, but we’re on the network.’ So, that’s exactly what it is. I didn’t recognize her this year.”
She continued: “But, I can’t control who I don’t know, but I treat fans, I treat friends [and] anyone on the network the same. You don’t get an extra bump because you’re on the network. I’m going to be polite to you no matter what.”
Kung Minkoff continued to assert that she still “doesn’t know who [Flowers] is today,” which is “not a dig on her or anybody that I don’t know.”
She insisted once again that her intention wasn’t to be mean, adding, “She wanted to be recognized by me and I didn’t recognize her, and therefore, I’ve become a ‘rude person.’ … You can’t be butthurt [that] the whole world doesn’t know who you are. Love her, too, whoever she is.”
