Crystal Kung Minkoff Opens Up About "Really Struggling" with an Eating Disorder
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member wrote a moving message, noting that "recovery isn't linear."
Crystal Kung Minkoff is opening up about her ongoing struggle with an eating disorder. "Even though it may seem like someone’s life is seemingly put together, it doesn’t mean they aren’t going through something painful," The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member wrote on Instagram on December 7. "This week, I’ve been really struggling with my ED and body image. Eating disorders can be tricky because they make you feel like you’re in complete control when in reality you’re spiraling out of it."
"I’m sharing this because I want any of you who are suffering as well to know you have my support. Recovery isn’t linear, it’s a process of learning, growing and healing," she continued. "Some days can feel like a little bump in the road and others like an Everest. Honor your strength. Honor your journey."
On Season 11 of RHOBH, Crystal shared more about her experience. "I'm a recovering bulimic," she said to her castmates. "I say recovering because I don't know what it's like to be any other thing."
"I will say that like, it's under control, but it's not something that I've ever hidden," she added, before sharing in an interview during the episode, "I just want the girls to know how hyper-aware I am of my weight and sort of the struggles that I go through."
