Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Garcelle Beauvais shocked fans when she announced her departure from the series in a March Instagram post. She told fans she wants to focus on her family and other creative projects, but left the door open for a possible return in the future.
Bravo fans suspected there may be other reasons for Garcelle’s sudden departure, especially after the network released a teaser trailer of the reunion that showed her storming off stage. Erika Jayne provided more context during an April appearance on Watch What Happens Live, telling host Andy Cohen that Garcelle refused to take the cast photo this year.
We don’t know what caused Garcelle’s dramatic exit, but we have some theories. Here’s what we know.
Garcelle Beauvais doesn’t speak to most of the RHOBH cast
We know Garcelle leaves the Season 14 reunion in a huff thanks to the teaser released earlier this month. In the clip, Garcelle tells Andy she “doesn’t want to answer any more questions” and storms off the stage, shouting, “I’m done” on her way out. We don’t know what prompted the sudden exit, but we know the women remain at odds with Garcelle. A source told The U.S. Sun that Garcelle is not in contact with most of the cast.
“Garcelle hasn’t spoken to any of the [the Housewives] much since leaving,” the source revealed. “She felt she deserved a lot better from those ladies and her walking away is in large part due to how she was treated by them.”
We saw the women grill Garcelle about her personal life in Part I, so that line of questioning may continue in Part III. The Bravo star usually remains calm in the face of conflict, which leads me to believe whatever transpires in Part III must be pretty intense. Perhaps one of the women asked her a question that crossed the line. Garcelle is fiercely protective of her family and this cast of women has crossed that line in the past. Fans remember when Erika famously cursed out Garcelle’s teenage son. Maybe one of the women asks Garcelle a personal family question and it drives her over the edge.
Garcelle Beauvais could have a falling out with Sutton Stracke at the RHOBH reunion Part 3
Garcelle and Sutton Stracke joined the cast of RHOBH in Season 10 and became fast friends. Garcelle was charmed by Sutton’s quirky personality and defended her against the RHOBH mob on several occasions. They are usually a united front at reunions but apparently, Season 14 was a little different. An inside source told the U.S. Sun that Garcelle felt “let down” by her longtime friend at the reunion.
“Sutton and Garcelle have checked in here and there but it’s not the same as it once was,” they shared.
Garcelle has butted heads with her co-stars in the past, but Sutton was always her anchor. She knew she had at least one cast member in her corner, making the experience of filming more bearable. Maybe Garcelle’s disappointment in her friend is the reason she refused the photo. She lost her one source of support in the room.
Erika Jayne hit a nerve trashing Garcelle Beauvais’ life on Part 1 of the RHOBH reunion
Erika had a lot to say to Garcelle in Part I of the Season 14 reunion. The Singer called out her co-star for not sharing enough of her life on camera, saying she wants the “juicy scoop”. Garcelle responded by saying she wishes there was more to share but she spends the majority of her time at work or with her kids. “What more do you want?” she asked Erika. “There is nothing I’m not showing.”
Erika appeared dissatisfied with her answer, saying, “I wish you were more interesting.” Yikes. The response stung Garcelle, who told her co-star the comment was a “sh*tty thing to say.”
Erika shared her thoughts on Garcelle’s exit during a recent appearance on WWHL. She delivered a personal messsage to her former co-star, stating, “I just wish you would have stuck it out, I really do.”
She continued, “I know I’ve been catty tonight, I know you’ll do well, but I just wish you would have stuck it out.”
Erika’s statements on WWHL made fans wonder if the two get in a fight during Part III.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
