On March 25, 2025, Erika Jayne and Bozoma Saint John reacted to Garcelle Beauvais’ departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

When Andy Cohen asked them about Garcelle’s announcement, both women initially stayed silent, exchanging glances and soft smiles. Andy asked again, “Ladies? You have no thoughts on it? Neither of you?” prompting Boz to respond.

Bozoma said, “I am disappointed that she is departing like this. I wish she would have stuck around to work out another season.” Erika followed by stating, “We’ve known that she’s quit for two weeks,” and noted that Garcelle not taking the reunion cast photo was “a clear indication that I am leaving.”

Erika wasn’t surprised Garcelle quit, especially after she stormed out of the Season 14 reunion. She added, “That is a clear indication that she was leaving.” Andy Cohen responded, “I didn’t know that she quit… She and I had a conversation here last week.” The reunion trailer released the same day showed Garcelle walking off set and saying, “Everybody can go f— themselves, I don’t care.”

Garcelle announced her exit in an Instagram video, stating, “I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride.” She thanked Andy Cohen, Bravo, NBCUniversal, the producers, and her fellow cast members. She added, “You never know, I might pop in sometime.” Garcelle cited her desire to spend more time with her teenage sons and focus on new professional projects.

Reactions from castmates included Sutton Stracke writing, “Congratulations to your next chapter,” while Jennifer Tilly commented, “You brought so much integrity and warmth and humor to the franchise.” Camille Grammer wrote, “The show will not be the same without you.”
