The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 has just begun, but Garcelle Beauvais is already becoming the biggest pot stirrer of all the ladies. Garcelle joined the RHOBH cast in season 10, and besides making a snarky comment about fellow housewife Kyle Richards, she mostly kept out of the fray. However, she became embroiled in the drama when she defended her friend and fellow RHOBH star Denise Richards when the rest of the housewives turned against her.
In RHOBH season 11, Garcelle unintentionally started a feud with Erika Jayne when she brought up a conversation about Tom Girardi that was supposed to have been private. Erika accused Garcelle of stirring up drama, but the actress insisted that wasn’t her intention. Since then, their relationship has been strained, and it has been reported that RHOBH season 12 brought on another huge fight fight that ended with Erika throwing Garcelle’s new book in the trash.
While many RHOBH fans are Team Garcelle, season 12 is showing her to be the biggest pot-stirrer amongst the women. Last season, RHOBH star Sutton Stracke offended Crystal Kung Minkoff when she told her fellow castmate that she didn’t see color. The two housewives failed to see eye to eye with each other all season long but were finally able to make amends after season 11 wrapped. RHOBH fans saw Sutton and Crystal’s newfound friendship at the beginning of season 12, which quickly became fractured when Garcelle brought up their feud from a year ago.
During a recent RHOBH episode, Crystal was trying to explain why she felt the other housewives didn’t validate her feelings when she felt “violated” by Sutton. Garcelle chimed in and accused Crystal of having an agenda with Sutton during their race talk. She told Crystal that no matter what Sutton said, Crystal would have found an issue with Sutton. Crystal then alluded that Sutton had said something very “dark” and “problematic” but wouldn’t elaborate on what she said. Later on, Garcelle divulged this information to Sutton and told her to watch out for her new friend.
Garcelle has always been uncertain about Erika's involvement with her ex-husband's legal issues. However, it seems as if she’s stirring the pot by bringing up the case and forcing Erika to talk about it. Many fans of RHOBH have applauded Garcelle for being a truth teller on the show but this time, they think she went too far by creating a wedge between Sutton and Crystal’s newfound friendship this season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
