Garcelle Beauvais opened up about whether or not she has plans to return for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 and spilled some details about the reunion. Season 10 was Garcelle's first; however, she wasn't around the other women too often because she was busy filming Coming 2 America. When she was on camera, she was one of the only women in the group defending Denise Richards. The other women questioned Denise all season long about rumors she had an affair with former housewife Brandi Glanville. When Denise denied the rumor, the women couldn't accept she was telling the truth and continued to push her to tell the truth. Garcelle stood up for Denise and chose to believe that her friend was telling the truth.
This season, Garcelle is using her voice more and forming bonds with the other cast members. Her friendship with Sutton Stracke continues to grow, and their friendship has become a favorite among fans. However, she hasn't been able to get on the same page with her long-time friend Lisa Rinna. Garcelle didn't like the way Lisa treated Denise last season and told her she needed time to trust her as a friend again. Things have not been going well, as Garcelle thinks there have been a lot of moments when Lisa could have stood up for her and proven her loyalty to her but chose to stay silent. Most notably, Garcelle felt alone when Dorit Kemsley accused her of being a bully in front of the group.
Garcelle opened up about whether or not she plans on returning for RHOA season 12. During a recent interview with ET, Garcelle addressed the rumors that she isn't returning next season. She admitted that she is "on the fence" about whether or not she wants to return. She previously stated that she is definitely returning but is now claiming that may not be the case anymore. After opening up, she jokingly accused the reporter of using some sort of truth serum on her since she was the only interviewer to get her to tell the truth.
During the interview, Garcelle also shared secrets about the upcoming reunion and what fans can expect to see from Erika Jayne. This season, the reunion is set to air in four parts, something Garcelle admitted she was very surprised to find out. She revealed it was a very long day of shooting, and a majority of the conversation revolved around Erika and her legal issues. Regarding speculation from fans that reunion host Andy Cohen would go easy on her, Garcelle said that is certainly not the case. She claimed Andy asked Erika the tough questions that the women and the fans all wanted to know the answers to. It has also been reported by others that Erika answered all his questions honestly.
Garcelle has really grown on fans, and many would be sad to see her leave, especially after such a standout second season. It will be interesting to see who will replace Garcelle if she does choose to leave the show. Will they bring Kathy Hilton in as a full-time housewife or will they try to continue to diversify the cast and bring in a woman of color? There are many ways casting for RHOA can go, but of course fans are hoping Garcelle chooses to return for a third season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Bravo.
