According to Page Six, Crystal Kung Minkoff publicly defended "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gina Kirschenheiter Friday after Jeff Lewis called her a "white-trash grifter" on his SiriusXM show: "I would say this right to his face; I don't agree with what he says about her."
The feud that started with "I don't know if I could work with her budget" has now produced a middle finger, the word "grifter," and an RHOBH alum telling a man who regularly sits in her radio show's chair that she disagrees with his views. Gina's original clapback — that Jeff Lewis "was in charge of the most recent redesign of his face" — was the best single sentence of the whole war, and Minkoff just handed over the ammunition in the same voice.
The timeline: Lewis in September says he'd never design Gina's house, adds "broke people shouldn't have big weddings" (that was the upcoming nuptials to Travis Mullen), then takes it to "Jeff Lewis Live" where he calls her a "Make-a-Wish Foundation" and a Bravo puppet who produces her own storylines and faked the engagement for cameras. Gina at Bravo Fan Fest raises both middle fingers and mouths "f—k you" at the designer. And now the woman who appears on his show and his reality series is the one breaking ranks, saying she's "impressed with what she's done in her life."
The part where Minkoff says she hopes the two "mend fences" is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence. That's the equivalent of telling a house fire and the family to work it out.
YOUR TURN: Team Kirschenheiter, or is Jeff Lewis just taking the middle fingers as design feedback?
