Garcelle Beauvais admitted that she and Sutton Stracke were suspicious about Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky‘s marriage in the months leading up to the news about their alleged separation.
While appearing on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star commented on her castmate’s drama as she also shared where she stands with Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne, dished on season 13, explained why she unfollowed Vanderpump Rules cast member Lala Kent on Instagram, and more.
On the July 13 episode of WWHL, after saying she would “absolutely not” take Ozempic because she doesn’t “know what it’s gonna do, like, years down [the line],” Garcelle was questioned about son Oliver Saunders, who was featured on the 10th season of Pump Rules.
When asked if Oliver felt he was used as a distraction from Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss‘ affair, Garcelle replied, “I don’t want to speak for him, but I don’t think he was used as a distraction, but I think he was used for sure.”
As fans may know, Oliver caught backlash for kissing Raquel while married to estranged wife Samantha Saunders, who Garcelle confirmed he is not back together with.
“No, not at all, but they’re co-parenting beautifully and we’re gonna keep it that way,” she revealed.
While Garcelle has stayed out of the drama, she did take it upon herself to unfollow Lala after the Pump Rules cast member shaded her son by noting that he had allegedly cheated on Samantha with Raquel.
“I didn’t like her comments with Oliver and I’ve liked Lala up until that point so I unfollowed her,” she confirmed, adding that the two ended up seated at the same table at Lisa Vanderpump‘s dog gala earlier this year.
“We got out. We left. And I was with Oliver,” she explained, sharing that she didn’t know if the seating arrangement was intentional and stating that she “would love it” if LVP returned to RHOBH.
As for other castmates, Garcelle slammed Teddi Mellencamp when Andy Cohen mentioned that she previously referred to her as a gnat.
“Where’s the lie?” she asked.
Garcelle then noted that she and Erika are “actually good” and that she hasn’t heard from Diana Jenkins since she took legal action against bots accused of sending hateful messages to her son Jax.
“We came really close [to finding out who was behind the bots], but in the end, no. But in my heart of hearts, I know who’s behind it but I will never say it publicly,” she continued. “I think it was multiple people. I do. And at the reunion, I did accuse other people but that wasn’t shown.”
“It only showed Diana so therefore, oh, I said her name,” Garcelle shadily added.
Also on the show, while selecting between her RHOBH co-stars, Garcelle said Sutton was the biggest pot-stirrer of season 13 and also the one who shed the most tears and had the most relationship issues. Then, she said that Erika was the castmate she thought she’d butt heads with the most going into the season, and she said Sutton and Kyle made the group laugh the most.
“I would have to say Sutton again but then Kyle is funny too, when she’s not working out,” Garcelle noted.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Garcelle described season 13 of RHOBH as “so much fresher” and “[lighter]” with “fun, friendships, glamour, drama, of course, but in a good way,” and she confirmed she hasn’t heard from Rinna since she announced her exit from the show in January.
“No not all. Nothing at all,” she confirmed.
Then, back on the live broadcast, after saying, “Wow, on all of it,” in regard to Kyle and Mauricio’s alleged separation, Garcelle admitted that she and Sutton had their concerns amid filming as she confirmed the topic would be addressed on the show.
“Yes for sure, Sutton and I were suspicious,” Garcelle shared.
After wrapping production on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 in May, the cast recently went back into filming to capture scenes related to the marriage drama between Kyle and Mauricio.
