Garcelle Beauvais shocked Bravo viewers on the morning of Tuesday, March 25, when she revealed that she was leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after five seasons.
But after watching the trailer for the reality show’s season 14 reunion, turns out her departure isn’t as much of a surprise.
The clip, which Bravo dropped hours after Garcelle made her exit announcement, ends with the actress, 58, storming off the reunion set in frustration and cursing out costars Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.
“I am just so f—— sick of it,” she shouts, walking off the set and refusing to return (not even for the cast photo at the end of the reunion).
Later, after changing out of her nude illusion pearl gown, Garcelle was filmed backstage saying, “I can’t be friends with people like that. I don’t trust them. They’re all f—— a——-.”

Prior to all of that, Garcelle was challenged to answer for — as an official Bravo description for the reunion put it — “the hurtful insinuations she made throughout the year.” That included claims that Dorit’s estranged husband, Paul Kemsley, had staged their 2021 home invasion in which Dorit begged for the safety of their children’s lives as she was held at gunpoint. (Both of the Kemsleys have long denied that.)
“Was I the only one that felt that way?” Garcelle said in her defense, when questioned about her words.
“You tell me who else? Your four other people from Twitter?” Dorit snapped back.

Of course, Garcelle isn’t the only one in the hot seat. The reunion trailer featured plenty of back and forths between Sutton and her longstanding adversary, Dorit — who also appears to be at odds with Kyle after their epic falling out this season.
In fact, judging from the footage, Kyle appears to get it the most as she’s taken to task by many — including Garcelle — for refusing to address the ongoing rumors about her relationship with country star Morgan Wade.
“Putting out a music video that is the two of you as lovers? You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” reunion host and RHOBH executive producer Andy Cohen tells Kyle.

Fans will have to wait to see just what else goes down in the three-part reunion that ultimately leads to Garcelle’s exit — though it should be noted that the Lifetime movie star didn’t blame her departure on drama when she announced her departure on social media. Instead, she chalked up her withdrawal from the show to a combination of wanting to devote time to her twin sons and to focus on new projects.
Said Garcelle: “One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jaid is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that, too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in — I can’t tell you anything now but you’ll know soon.”
She went on to thank everyone involved in the series, including her costars and RHOBH‘s producers as well as the fans themselves. “You guys have cheered me on, supported me, and sometimes even fought for me or on my behalf,” Garcelle said of her supporters. “It means a lot and I hope you guys will continue on this journey with me.”
And while she admitted that “some hard things” happened while on the series, Garcelle — who was RHOBH‘s first-ever Black Housewife — noted that this exit might not be for forever.
“Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime,” she teased. “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. So see you later.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo. Episodes air next day on Peacock.
