'RHOBH' Recap: Crystal Minkoff has a medical emergency in Spain
Crystal Kung Minkoff experienced what appeared to be a medical emergency, while the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies were on vacation in Barcelona, Spain.
“I'm getting really sick, guys,” Crystal, 40, said Garcelle Beauvais, Kyle Richards And Sutton Stracke during the Wednesday, January 24 episode of RHOBH as the women drove along a series of windy roads to the Ermita de la Trinitat Church. “You guys, this is hard for me right now.”
Shortly afterwards, Crystal told producers she had to “get out of the car right now.” Cameras caught her leaning forward with her hands on her knees, as the producers said Annemarie Wiley, Dorit Kemsley And Erika Jayne – who were traveling in a second vehicle – that Crystal had become “car sick.”
As Crystal walked back to her car, she extended her hands to Garcelle. “Oh my God Garcelle, look at my veins, they're popping out,” she said.
Once they arrived at their destination, Crystal could be heard breathing heavily as she got out of the car and started drinking water.
“Suddenly I'm sweating and my veins are popping out,” Crystal told Annemarie (a certified nurse anesthetist), who looked down at her hands. The cameras zoomed in and viewers could see that Crystal's hands appeared swollen and her veins were visible.
“What's happening to me? What's going on?” Crystal asked. Kyle responded, “I'm going to call 911.”
You could see the women huddled around Crystal as the episode came to a close.
“The universe works in mysterious ways,” Kyle said in the episode, discussing Crystal's health problem. “Last night these two were at each other's throats and right now Crystal is at the mercy of Annemarie.”
Earlier in the episode, Crystal and Annemarie continued their fight from the previous episode. (Crystal called Annemarie a “bitch” during last week's episode.)
“Let's talk about the Crystal situation. The first night Crystal and I met was at a mutual friend's house around the holidays,” Annemarie told the women during a full-cast dinner. “The first thing Crystal said to me about this group of women was that you ladies were not intelligent, that no one was educated and that you are very superficial.”
Crystal quickly denied these “ridiculous” claims.
“I wouldn't say that to someone I just met, I don't feel that way,” Crystal told the women. Annemarie hit back and asked Crystal to “be honest.”

“And then you said the ladies were 'fake socialites' and that you were the only real socialite in the group,” Annemarie's claims about Crystal continued.
“Do I feel like Crystal could have said that? Yes, I can,” Dorit claimed in her confessional. “What that actually means is that this is my excuse for not being interesting because my intellect is too high. No, you're boring.”
As the argument continued at the dinner table, Annemarie and Crystal paced back and forth as the other women watched.
“You're acting like a hormonal teenager,” Annemarie said. 'You know what else I want from you? I want to thank you for giving me something to talk about and making you relevant.
