Interview
‘RHOBH’s Garcelle Beauvais Admits She’s Not Speaking To Kyle Richards After Shading Her On ‘WWHL’
Garcelle Beauvais and Kyle Richards aren’t speaking, according to the new ‘RHOBH’ star, who spilled the tea to Wendy Williams on May 6! She laughed over her drama with Kyle and admitted that the ‘OG’ never took the time to get to know her.
Don’t expect to see Garcelle Beauvais and Kyle Richards cruising down Rodeo Drive together anytime soon. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars aren’t on speaking terms at the moment, Garcelle told Wendy Williams during a virtual interview on Tuesday morning. RHOBH fans will know that the actresses haven’t exactly bonded on the show, which Garcelle joined in its 10th and current season.
“Kyle and I aren’t talking, it’s funny because I went on ‘WWHL’ and I had to pick someone who I wouldn’t quarantine with and I picked her,” Garcelle said, laughing about her April 15 appearance on the Andy Cohen-hosted show. Garcelle also said Kyle “has the biggest ego in the [RHOBH] group. “She never took the time to get to know me, that’s where I was coming from. If you’re an OG and somebody comes into your circle then I think it’s sort of your… if you’re a host, you should be hosting me and saying, ‘Hey let’s get together,'” Garcelle said.
“I felt like people expect me to be the angry black woman, and that’s not who I am. But, if you come for me, I will come for you too. I think the women were a little hesitant this season, because I think they were afraid of black social media coming for them if they came after me,” she continued, admitting, “So, everybody kind of tiptoed, but it wasn’t about me starting stuff this season, it’s really about letting people know I am and what I’m about, then bring it in season 2.”
A few days after Garcelle’s quarantine comment, Kyle responded and admitted that she was surprised to hear about it.
“Garcelle, who I had no issue with all season, she went on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ and said not nice things about me,” Kyle said on Maria Menounos‘ podcast, Better Together on April 20. “I’m always skeptical when someone is nice to you and then goes and says something else. If I have an issue with someone, I would say it, because that’s what our job is on the show is to be honest,” she continued. “So whenever someone is one way to my face and another way in an interview, then I’m like, ‘OK, I know what I’m dealing with now.’”
Kyle spoke about the situation for a second time during an appearance on WWHL on May 4, where she maintained her surprised reaction to Garcelle’s comments.
“No, I was really surprised. My husband [Mauricio Umansky] and I were watching. He said, ‘Why is she talking like that?’ I said, ‘I have no idea,'” Kyle said. “If she felt like that, I wish she would have said that to my face instead of saving it for Watch What Happens Live… “I really don’t know where that came from. I thought we got along really well.”
She continued, “I think that she came in and was just like, ‘I better have something with someone,’ and decided to do that. I don’t know, because like I said, if she felt like that, she did not say anything like that to my face.”
Kyle noted that she hasn’t reached out to Garcelle about the drama, and instead, prefers to hash things out at the RHOBH reunion.
“So now I know what I’m dealing with,” she said. “So I guess we will address this at the reunion.” And, that’s our cue to get the popcorn and tea ready.
