Crystal has another interview; and she finally talks about Erika Girardi; " "I'm brand new and when her stuff was kind of revealed, I'd just jumped into the group. So for me, from my perspective, was just to be there as a good friend and for as a little as I knew her, she was kind to me so I'm going to be kind." Well that's nice.

" "I immediately felt connected to Garcelle [Beauvais], like day one," Minkoff told E! News exclusively. "And I think also because she has known [my husband] Rob for a long time, so when I walked in there, I was like, 'OK, Garcelle is my friend,' because I knew her."
She continued, "And Dorit [Kemsley] was really warm to me. I think because we have young kids, and I think back on that very first time I met her, she just had the biggest smile and was so welcoming and just made me feel welcomed. And for anyone to do that with someone who is brand new to the group with strong personalities is really sweet."
