As the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the 37-year-old mother of two shocked her co-stars when she revealed a whole lot about herself during a game of "two truths and a lie."

However, there was much more to the story than she initially shared.

At the time, Crystal told Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, and Sutton Starke that she was once arrested, worked at an escort agency, and was propositioned to be a madame.

The arrest, she said, was her lie.

Clarifying the story in a recent podcast interview with RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp, Minkoff explained, "I have a warrant for my arrest. I talked to the judge, and he's like, 'Are you going to come back here?' I was like, 'No.' And he's like, 'Just don't come back.'"

Minkoff told her 67,000 followers that when she was 16 years old, she went to Arizona with her family to attend a graduation at Northern Arizona University. With her father and brother in the car, she said she drove onto campus and through an intersection after coming to a four-way stop.

Crystal said a police officer on the scene "got pissed," and that instead of giving her a "regular ticket," she was "citied for using my car as a weapon." It wasn't until she arrived back to her home in Los Angeles, though, that she received the the citation in the mail.

While she may not be as much of a criminal as we thought, she's still a badass in our books!

Bravo's newest star handled her first on-screen conflict like a pro, calling out Sutton for some questionable remarks about race and race relations in America. Sutton ended up issuing one of the most sincere apologies in Housewives history, which was well-received by both Crystal and fans.
