The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Crystal Kung Minkoff has been very open about her eating disorder.
This season she shared more about her struggles with her castmates.
Crystal is now taking to social media ahead of tonight’s episode to urge people to “Be kind.”
The direct descendant of Confucius posted a quote saying, “You cannot tell if someone is struggling with an eating disorder by their appearance. Eating disorders do not discriminate or have a ‘look.’”
In a recent episode of the show, Crystal was asked if she had ever sought treatment.
She admitted that although she wasn’t sure if it would work, she would be seeking out a new therapist. She said that although her eating disorder is recent news for many people, it has been a part of her life for decades.

Many of you have shared your personal ED stories and I want you to know I see each and every one of you and I’m so proud of your bravery. Eating disorder recovery is not linear.
