Crystal Kung Minkoff's apparent distaste for Annemarie Wiley came to a head when she defended Sutton Stracke during the day Dorit Kemsley's Homeless Not Toothless event.
“You said she was lying!” Crystal, 40, told Annemarie, 40, during the Wednesday, January 17, episode The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillswhen the argument once again surrounded Sutton's esophagus.
“I said what she said doesn't make medical sense,” Annemarie, a certified nurse anesthetist, hit back. (Sutton previously claimed that she has an “esophageal disorder,” which prevents her from eating certain foods.)

Annemarie said: “I was trained to be a critical thinker, so when I hear something, it's not right. …Crystal you didn't want to go to medical school? If you went to medical school, that's what you would get.
Crystal then told Annemarie that she was “such a bitch.”
Crystal discussed her desire to attend medical school in a flashback scene filmed during the women's bus ride to Ojai from the previous episode. She decided not to go after meeting her now husband Rob Minkoff.
'Her husband wouldn't have waited for her. So I think Crystal resents me for being in the medical field,” Annemarie claimed in her confessional. “She's getting out what she couldn't do with me.”
