Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans rally behind Garcelle Beauvais after dramatic reunion exit

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans rally behind Garcelle Beauvais after dramatic reunion exit

Independent16-04-2025

fans have rallied around Garcelle Beauvais in the wake of her exit from the franchise.
On Tuesday night, the third and final installment of the season 14 reunion aired on Bravo. Fans saw the season's drama conclude or, in some instances, get drawn out, along with Beauvais's time on the long-running reality show.
After announcing her departure from the franchise in March, fans eagerly anticipated the end of the three-part reunion, which teased Beauvais saying 'I'm out' and walking off set without taking the cast photo.
But before that, Beauvais — the first full-time Black Housewife on the franchise — raised eyebrows about 10 minutes into Tuesday night's episode when she agreed with a fan's comment that co-star Sutton Stracke 'throws tantrums' when she's 'called out for hypocrisy and bad behavior.'
'I would say sometimes it seems that way, yes,' Beauvais responded, prompting a surprised look from her co-star Erika Jayne. Beauvais and Stracke have been thick as thieves during the last few seasons, often pitted against the rest of the cast on one matter or another. 'It depends on who's pushing her buttons,' Beauvais continued. 'We all have our limits. We all have things that irk us. I'm really pissed right now.'
This prompted host Andy Cohen to ask why, but Beauvais shot him down, saying she was pissed about 'all of it, since I've sat here on this couch.' She then told Cohen she didn't want to answer any more questions.
When Cohen followed up a few minutes later, noting Beauvais was 'steaming,' she said: 'I don't think I ever get any grace in this group.' She went on to say that none of her castmates smiled at her during the reunion taping. 'I was smiling when I first got here, and then it all changed.'
Beauvais remained mostly quiet through the rest of the episode, with the cameras catching her occasional eye roll or scoff at the drama unfolding before her. But then, at the very end, she stood up and walked off when it was time to take the cast photo — a tradition she mentioned wanting to uphold during the first installment of the reunion.
Cameras followed Beauvais as she walked to her dressing room. 'Guys, I'm not doing this anymore,' she said as she took her jeweled Yousef Al Jasmi gloves off. 'I don't want cameras here. I'm done. And I never say I don't want cameras. I'm always a team player. But this? There's no team. I'm just so f***ing sick of it. They're all f***ing assholes.'
Typically, Housewives run after one another when they storm off upset about something. But in this instance, no one followed Beauvais — not even Stracke, whom Beauvais frequently stuck her neck out for during her time on the show. Instead, the remaining cast members — including Stracke, Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Bozoma Saint John, Kathy Richards, and Jennifer Tilly — took the cast photo without her while trying to make sense of her abrupt exit.
Fans have been quick to rally around Beauvais, which isn't always the norm for Housewives exiting the show.
'The way Kyle, Dorit, and Erika dismissed Garcelle leaving the set and minimized her feelings is exactly what she has been talking about her entire five years on #RHOBH. It spoke for itself. Good for you Garcelle. Onward and upward,' one fan wrote on X.
'See when Garcelle said 'no one has smiled at me since we started' ... what she was REALLY saying was… no one is giving me any human to human 'I see you' energy. They were closed off & cold to her. They treat her and speak to her VERY differently,' one fan noted.
'Garcelle did everything RIGHT throughout the ENTIRE reunion ... she was honest, she spoke her mind & she took accountability when necessary unlike many. It's was so obvious she saw the rules only apply selectively & she was simply done playing this bs game so good for her,' another viewer shared.
'Garcelle did her job, stayed for the entire reunion, and left when she was done! She does not owe anything to these women that just went after her!' another wrote.
Actor-producer-model Beauvais joined the long-running Bravo franchise during 2020's season 10. In her departure announcement, she cited wanting to spend more time with her family, and upcoming producing and acting projects.
Just hours before the episode aired, Beauvais shared a straightforward Instagram post about putting herself first that also garnered praise and support from fellow Housewives and fans alike.

According to court documents obtained by on Friday, Eady filed a $20million lawsuit over her portrayal on the show Thursday as she alleges defamation, emotional distress, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. The suit is centered around a moment which aired in April on episode five of the current season 16 as it featured the moment when Kenya Moore reportedly showed explicit posters of castmate Brit Eady allegedly performing oral sex amidst filming in June 2024 as she has since claimed that it wasn't her in the images. Moore was then suspended 'indefinitely' from the series. However, she had stated that she was 'not going anywhere' and also called out the network for being a 'toxic environment.' In addition to Bravo and NBC production companies for RHOA, Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America, are named in the lawsuit as the castmember alleges defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false light and sexual harassment and hostile work environment. has reached out to representatives for Bravo, Eady, Moore, Endemol Shine North America and Truly Original for comment and have yet to hear back. The RHOA drama sent the season 16 reunion into chaos; Brit Eady, Phaedra Parks, Angela Oakley, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Drew Sidora and Kelli Ferrell seen above As Moore had been working for the network at the time, Eady is also suing Bravo by respondeat superior, which is a legal doctrine that holds employers responsible for the wrongful conduct of their employees. In the legal notice, Eady calls Moore's statements about her 'false, defamatory, harassing and damaging.' Eady also claims that the explicit images are not of herself and that she 'did not see the explicit photograph until after certain of these events were aired on Bravo nearly a year late.' The filing reads: 'Defendants willfully, intentionally, recklessly, and/or with gross negligence produced, edited, and aired an episode of RHOA on April 6, 2025 that included footage of certain of the cast member's statements at issue as well as commentary from other cast members that described the photographs displayed. 'Further, the manner in which the episode was aired falsely yet unmistakably implied that the graphic sexual photograph presented by the cast member depicted [Eady]. 'On information and belief, Defendants knew that the photograph did not depict [Eady], or, at the least, were reckless or grossly negligent in failing to learn that the photograph did not depict [Eady].' Eady also went on to allege that she had attempted to see the photo before the episode had aired but Bravo had 'refused' to show it to her. According to the filing: 'By the way of foregoing, Defendants contributed to the hostile work environment for [Eady] and sexually harassed Plaintiff by subjecting [Eady] to unwelcome, offensive, and sexualized behavior and comments based on her gender by requiring her to continue working in an environment in which she had been subject to a gendered attack, creating an inferior condition or privilege of employment because of her gender.' According to court documents obtained by on Friday, Eady (pictured) filed a $20million lawsuit over her portrayal on the show Thursday as she alleges defamation, emotional distress, sexual harassment and a hostile work environment The legal document concluded by requesting 'the immediate removal of the episode from public access on all platforms, networks, and media outlets in the Defendants' control,' along with a public statement acknowledging the episode shared a false depiction of Eady and a monetary reward that included the legal fees.' It also reads that if the defendants 'fail to appear,' Eady asked that a judgement be issued for 'the sum of not less than $20 million, with interest, and the costs and fees of this action.' The lawsuit was filed on the same day that the season 16 reunion was filmed which was thrown into chaos as Eady and Moore were not on set. Moore jumped to X to issue a statement to her followers and expressed she was 'disappointed' to not take part in the reunion while also issuing an apology. 'I'm disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today,' the TV personality began. 'Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers.' The reality star then seemingly teased a possible return to the show by adding, 'I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.' Eady - who was also absent from the reunion taping - issued a statement of her own on her Instagram stories on Thursday. Brit confirmed that she was not making an appearance in the reunion - but also claimed that she was actually not in the explicit posters that Moore had shown. 'As everyone is now aware, I'm not attending the Reunion. This was my decision. The events of this season have devastated me.' She continued, 'And while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me. Eady explained that she initially did not see the picture and was simply 'made aware' of the image being showcased at Moore's hair salon event. Brit wrote that 'based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me - which is why I reacted in the way that I did. Brit confirmed that she was not making an appearance in the reunion - but also claimed that she was actually not in the explicit posters that Moore had shown 'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me. I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life. - Brit.' Sources informed TMZ that Bravo had wanted to film a one-on-one interview with Moore and Andy Cohen - which ended up not taking place. A separate insider told People that Eady chose to not attend the reunion taping while Moore was 'not invited.' Back in April, an episode titled About Last Night during the 16th season featured the moment when Moore had presented explicit photos which allegedly showed Eady performing oral sex. A message from the production appeared during the episode which read: 'Based on Kenya's behavior, the decision was made to cease filming with her this season.' The RHOA fan account @atlanta_housewives posted the message to Instagram and fans rallied behind Moore, with some calling her exit from the season 'unfair.' Eady had been feuding with Kenya since joining the reality series. In the episode leading up to the scene in question, Brittany seemingly threatened Moore not long after a group dinner. 'I don't play them games, I got whips, pistols, everything,' she had said at the time. The RHOA fan account @atlanta_housewives posted the message to Instagram and fans rallied behind Moore, with some calling her exit from the season 'unfair' In response while leaving the dinner, Kenya expressed: 'She talking about guns, she was talking about, "I still got my pistol on me." This girl is a problem. She gotta go, she gotta go for real, for real. Please let her do something to me, so she can go!' And during the specific episode of the incident, Moore celebrated the grand opening of her hair spa and some other cast members stopped by to help celebrate the big milestone. Eady also showed up with flowers as an apology for starting up a feud earlier in the season. However, Kenya notably did not accept the peace offering and said that Brittany was only using the situation for a 'moment' and insinuated the apology was not genuine. Moore then showed an explicit poster board at the event that allegedly showed Eady performing oral sex. The cast was left shocked over the move and Porsha Williams stepped out of the shop and stated, 'I want to just take my mic off. You can just act like I was never at this event.' The episode officially concluded with the message from the production that a decision had been that Moore would not film the rest of the season. The incident was first revealed last year in June when Kenya was suspended 'indefinitely' from RHOA following claims that she shared adult images of Eady - which she denied doing at the time. She took to her Instagram stories and wrote, 'Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes to light.' And in a separate post, Moore penned on X: 'I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images, nor solicited images owned by others to use or threaten or blackmail. 'I have always been vindicated. I can't talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.' Eady also shared a statement on Instagram that read, 'It's never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED by someone I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met. 'For the record, I've never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I am hurt by the narrative that's being displayed. Wrong is wrong.' After her suspension was confirmed, Moore called out Bravo for being a 'toxic environment.' And in a separate post, Moore penned on X: 'I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images, nor solicited images owned by others to use or threaten or blackmail' She further shut down the claims on Instagram and revealed she has 'proof' for her defense. RHOA star Kelli Ferrell offered her thoughts about Moore's firing during an exclusive interview with last month in May. '[It was] surprising for everybody. I mean, who would've thought that that would be our final time in filming. 'I just felt like it was so many other things that we had left to discuss and talk about and connect on,' Ferrell added. 'I mean it's unfortunate. I think [for] all parties, it's just unfortunate.' Kelli also revealed she still will message Moore 'from time to time' and added, 'I love Kenya. I think Kenya is so amazing. I think she's such a boss. Me and Kenya had so many amazing things in common and I really wish her well. I really do.' Also in April, Moore took to her YouTube channel to address the 'revenge porn' incident and issued an apology; Kenya seen in 2024 in Atlanta The reality star also expressed that she 'hopes' Kenya can return to the Real Housewives franchise. 'I mean, Kenny and I had so many amazing moments together and I hope that we could film together again soon.' Also in April, Moore took to her YouTube channel to address the 'revenge porn' incident and issued an apology. 'It was wrong. I should not have done it at my salon I worked so hard for. I am very sorry that I shared the photos because it wasn't right. I did not break the law, and I'm very sorry for what I did...'
