This diamond is ready for some new Beverly Hills drama.
Watching the exclusive season 12 trailer for the first time on E! News' Daily Pop April 7, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Crystal Kung Minkoff spoke with hosts Nina Parker and Nikki Glaser about her experience filming the upcoming season, as well as what fans can expect to see in the new episodes.
"It's crazy because it just happened, it feels so far away, and then it also feels like it was yesterday," Minkoff said about the season 12 first look. "It's also interesting to see the parts that you were not there for. I mean, you don't get to see what happens, it's all hearsay. You talk about it, but to watch those moments that you discuss in real life, it's wild."
One moment Minkoff revealed she wasn't present for was the trailer's dramatic ending clip, showing several Housewives hilariously locking Kathy Hilton out of a store.
Also featured in the trailer are returning stars Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley and Sutton Stracke, along with newcomer and self-described potential "new villain" Diana Jenkins.
Teasing that many friendships will be "broken, shifted, weakened, [and] strengthened," Minkoff shared that everybody will get their turn in the spotlight this season.
"I feel like what happened last year, it was very heavy about Erika. And this past few months have very much been everybody gets into it," she revealed. "Dynamics shift in friendships, and I think people see people differently this year."
But, more time in the spotlight means more juicy moments for fans to talk about and dissect, something Minkoff sometimes finds hard to ignore.
"I always want the truth, painful or not. If I know if my truth is out there, then I can deal with that," she shared. "What's hard is listening to the podcasts, which I know I shouldn't. When they get it wrong, I wanna call them, like, ‘No, you got the scene wrong. You got that moment wrong.'"
Knowing that things are bound to be taken out of context, sometimes the Housewife has to simply "wait for it to be revealed" like the rest of us, no matter how good or bad the truth is.
"It all also doesn't matter ‘cause it's in the past, you experienced it," she explained. "And it's a show and it's designed to be entertaining, but sometimes, it's at the cost of, you know."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 premieres Wednesday, May 11 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
