Career
BET launches “The Westbrooks” series
In 2014, when the Black Entertainment Television network offered the Westbrook sisters a reality TV show about their family, Crystal instantly understood it was something she wanted to do. She always dreamt of becoming a model and actress, so it was a great opportunity for her to show off her skills. The reason why BET and four other networks were interested in the Westbrook sisters was pretty interesting – Crystal and India started posting their high quality photos on Tumblr, and people liked their pictures: ‘My dad has this really expensive camera, and he would let us use it. And we would just go out and take still pictures, upload them to Tumblr, and people were like, ‘We love the quality of the pictures’ and ‘We love the clothes they’re wearing’, Crystal shared in her interview with Allure in 2015.
Not to miss the filming, Crystal had to fly from Texas where she was studying to California and back once a week. Such flights were often exhausting, and Crystal sometimes felt she couldn’t bare it all, but still did her best for the show. According to the plot, she was the biggest rival of her younger sister, India Love, who was the main character of the series, plus the other Westbrook sisters. Crystal also behaved spacey in most of conflict situations, which attracted even more attention to her personality.
Social media career
When there were only rumors that the Westbrook sisters could land their own show on TV, Crystal started her Instagram account and also created her profile on Tumblr to raise her fame. She posted her first photo on Instagram on 30 August 2013, and soon attracted a lot of subscribers and followers, posting quite explicit photos of her wearing tiny bikinis, barely covering her impressive curves.
In 2015 she signed several commercial contracts with such brands as Pretty Little Thing and Fashion Nova to advertise their apparel lines. She also worked as a model for such brands as The Queen Pegasus Makeup and Tiffany Jewels; Crystal appeared in several promotional videos of Slender Me Medical Health Spa. She is also an ambassador of the brand SugarBearHair, which provides hair vitamins in the form of jelly bears. As of 2020, Crystal has gained a massive following of 1.2 million subscribers on her Instagram account.
In 2018 Crystal filmed and uploaded a video about her trip to Mexico onto her YouTube channel. She managed to catch the brawl between her friends during this trip, but still included the episode in the final version of the video. The scene was massively criticized by viewers, and it probably demotivated Crystal, as she didn’t upload any other videos on her channel.
Other endeavors and business initiatives
Crystal is famous for her thick super curly hair, which became her visiting card. In 2016 she launched her own hair care products line called “Crystal Curls”, explaining that her desire to have her own products, as she knew a lot about the caring procedures which help to deal with such curly and messy hair as she had, so she wanted to help other girls who faced similar issues. Her line includes shampoos, balsams, conditioners and masks. She also created her own brand of dreadlocks, Harley Dreux, as she wore dreadlocks herself from 2017 to 2018. As a model, she is assigned to Above and Beyond Model Management, Los Angeles.
Personal life, ex-boyfriends Steven Russell and Drake
In 2015 Crystal was in relationship with her high school sweetheart, Steven Russell.
He was a rapper and actor, who witnessed her rise to stardom and had to deal with the fame Crystal was quickly gaining, to keep their relationship strong, but their affair came to an abrupt end at the beginning of 2016.
Steven, the son of Steven Russell Harts Sr., the lead singer of the band called Troop, which was a multi-platinum-selling group in the ‘80s, went on to pursue his rap career, but declined two contracts from recording studios, as they didn’t give him any benefits. The same year he started being troubled by Crystal, he lost his two grandmothers, Mary and Bernice, and also his manager and close friend, Rob, so he was totally broken. Crystal couldn’t support him as she was too busy with her own issues – studying, filming and business, so the couple split.
