Garcelle Beauvais filmed her final act as a “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star weeks before she made her resignation announcement.
In a sneak peek of the final part of the RHOBH reunion posted on Bravo’s Instagram account, Beauvais did not hide her feelings toward the rest of the cast as she made an early exit from the taping.
In addition to Beauvais, the 14th season of RHOBH starred Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton were “friends of.”
The final part of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion airs on Bravo on April 15.
Garcelle Beauvais Refused to Pose for a Cast Photo
In Bravo’s sneak peek clip, the RHOBH cast members are seen holding cocktails as Jennifer Tilly makes a toast to “friendship.” After the women clink glasses, Bravo host Andy Cohen says, ”Cheers to another fabulous season. I’m excited to see where this group goes next!”
He then adds, “Well guess what? We’re gonna get a cast photo.”
But Beauvais has a different plan. “I’m out,” she says as she puts down her glass and heads off stage. “I’m not. I’m not doing it.”
Cohen appears to be blindsided by Beauvais’ abrupt exit. “For real?” he asks in disbelief.
As Beauvais walks off the stage, co-star Dorit Kemsley calls out to her, “Garcelle, that’s really unprofessional. That’s not cool!”
Garcelle Beauvais Announced Her Exit From RHOBH 1 Month After the Reunion Taping
The RHOBH reunion was taped on February 28.
On March 25, Beauvais posted an Instagram video to officially announce her decision to depart the Bravo reality show after five seasons. “I have some news,” Beauvais told fans in the clip. “I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride. I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have happened. But it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
Beauvais explained that she was leaving the show to focus on family and her acting career. She noted that her twin sons’ last year of high school would soon be starting, and that her son Jaid was starting a new career as a model. Beauvais said she wanted to “be there for that.”
Beauvais also shared that she had acting and producing projects in the works. She thanked Andy Cohen, Bravo, and the production company, as well as her co-stars and the fans, for the five-year RHOBH ride.
While Cohen was surprised by Beauvais’ exit, during a March 25 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” RHOBH stars Erika Jayne and Bozoma Saint John said they knew Beauvais was done with the show following her reunion walk-out.
“She did not take the cast photo with us,” Erika told host Andy Cohen. “So that that a clear indication that ‘I am leaving.’”
Cohen admitted that Beauvais’ actions left him confused. “When she left the reunion, I wasn’t totally sure [if she would quit the show],” he said of the RHOBH star’s exit.
