After five seasons, Garcelle Beauvais has confirmed she is stepping away from the reality series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” The actress and model announced her decision on social media, citing a desire to focus on her family and new professional ventures.
In her statement, Beauvais described her time on the show as a “wild ride,” acknowledging both positive experiences and challenges. A primary reason for her exit is her commitment to her teenage sons, with one entering his final year of high school and another embarking on a new career path. She expressed a wish to be more present for this pivotal family chapter.
Professionally, Beauvais indicated she is departing to dedicate her energy to several upcoming projects she is developing, producing, and starring in, though details remain under wraps for now.
She extended thanks to the network, producers, and her fellow cast members. Notably, she mentioned that an invitation to return in the future remains open. Beauvais also expressed deep gratitude to the show’s fans for their unwavering support throughout her tenure.
Her final season was not without controversy, featuring a notable clash with co-star Kyle Richards. The disagreement centered on public speculation about Richards’s personal life, with Beauvais encouraging her to live authentically without concern for public perception. Richards, however, interpreted the comments differently, leading to a tense exchange that was later discussed on the show’s after-show segment.
Beauvais’s departure marks the end of a significant chapter for the long-running series, as fans and the “RHOBH” cast bid her farewell—for now.
