Kyle Richards is sharing her thoughts on Crystal Kung Minkoff joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. "I like her," Kyle told Jenny McCarthy on her SiriusXM radio show, The Jenny McCarthy Show, according to PEOPLE.
"I've met her a couple of times now, and I think she's going to be just great," she continued. "She's very outgoing and confident, and I think she's very smart and beautiful. I think she's going to be really good for the show."
Kyle added that for someone to join RHOBH, they have to "really be a strong, confident person."
"It's really hard coming into this group," Kyle said. "I could say I totally get it, but I don't. When I came into the show, 11 years ago, we were all starting together for the first time. I can't imagine what it feels like coming into this group and this show that's been so successful... it must be so strange."
"You have to have a lot of confidence and be very opinionated and outspoken," she continued, adding that she believes Crystal "fits all of that."
Bravo confirmed the news earlier this week that Crystal, an entrepreneur and mom of two, is set to join the franchise for its upcoming eleventh season.
The 35-year-old new cast member is married to Rob Minkoff, who directed the original Lion King movie. The couple tied the knot in 2007 and share son Max (8), and daughter Zoe (5).
In addition to Crystal, Kyle's sister Kathy Hilton is also joining the cast as an official "friend" for the show's upcoming 11th season.
