Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers are still reeling after Garcelle Beauvais walked out of the Season 14 reunion. No one, not even her supposed bestie Sutton Stracke, went out to follow her. Garcelle already announced her exit from RHOBH before part 3 of the reunion aired. But in the episode, viewers saw the exact moment she chose to quit.
Now, in addition to leaving the show, Garcelle unfollowed most of the RHOBH cast on Instagram. What made Garcelle unfollow her former co-stars? How did the RHOBH cast respond? Is there anyone Garcelle still follows from the show? We have the details and theories below.
Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed the RHOBH cast after Season 14 reunion walk-off
Garcelle herself said that “everybody jumped at me” at the Season 14 reunion. Even when she took accountability, the others wouldn’t let up. She was visibly exhausted. But she still waited until the end to leave, she just refused to partake in the cast photo.
After she walked off, Garcelle didn’t mince words about the other RHOBH cast members. “I can’t be friends with people like that,” the Jamie Foxx Show alum said. “I don’t trust them, and they obviously don’t like me.” She declared that they were all “f*cking assholes.”
Garcelle didn’t get to see how the others responded after she left. So, it’s possible that watching the cast’s reactions when the episode aired is what pushed her to hit unfollow. For instance, dismissing her issues as “child’s play.” Dorit Kemsley labeled her “unprofessional.” Garcelle and Dorit feuded for years, it wasn’t shocking that the Coming to America actress unfollowed her specifically.
For a while, Garcelle and Erika Jayne seemed to be getting on better terms, even sharing a kiss. But Erika’s shady comments and Garcelle’s responses to those comments put the kibosh on a potential friendship. At the reunion, Erika infamously said she wished Garcelle were more interesting. Garcelle responded, “That’s a sh*tty thing to say when I thought we were in a better place.”
It probably didn’t help that Erika and Bozoma Saint John also came under fire for their attitudes about Garcelle on Watch What Happens Live. And all season long, Kyle Richards and Erika repeatedly singled out Garcelle for not showing her “real life.”
Garcelle Beauvais unfollowing Sutton Stracke shows the friendship is over
It wasn’t terribly surprising that Garcelle unfollowed the others. But Sutton was supposed to be Garcelle’s bestie. However, the reunion showed how Sutton failed Garcelle. The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress repeatedly hoped Sutton would have her back, but was left to fend for herself. When she was asked a question about Sutton, Garcelle clearly had enough. She chose to stand up for herself in response to the question instead.
During Season 14, viewers also saw Garcelle support Sutton during a difficult visit with her mother, Reba. When Garcelle mentioned this at the reunion, Sutton changed the subject to her friendliness with Erika. Considering Erika’s cruel reunion comment to Garcelle, which she vented about to Sutton backstage, it must’ve felt like a slap in the face.
To cap things off, instead of following her friend, Sutton stayed to take the cast photo. She told the others she didn’t understand why Garcelle left. By comparison, when Sutton had her health scare at the Season 13 reunion, Garcelle went along to keep her company.
This year, Sutton was shocked to see that Garcelle left the studio instead of waiting for her. In that moment, the Southern belle seemed a bit obtuse to just how upset Garcelle was when she walked off.
How did the RHOBH cast respond after Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed?
After news broke that Garcelle unfollowed the RHOBH cast, Season 14 newbie Boz posted on Instagram. On her stories, Boz wrote, “Imagine being mad at me, but I’m just basking in God’s favor.” Some RHOBH fans wondered if Boz’s post was intended as shade towards Garcelle.
Meanwhile, Sutton directly addressed Garcelle’s unfollowing her. She released a statement, where Sutton noted that Garcelle unfollowed all the Beverly Hills Housewives. “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now,” Sutton responded. “I love her and am giving her the space she needs.” As for Garcelle’s post-RHOBH journey, Sutton added, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success.”
Who does Garcelle Beauvais still follow from RHOBH?
Garcelle may be done with the main Housewives, but she still follows RHOBH Season 14 “friends of” Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly. Viewers couldn’t help but notice Garcelle’s side eye when Jennifer gave a toast that the “best ships are friendships.” But while she wasn’t feeling that in the moment, it appears Garcelle has no beef with the Oscar nominee. This aligns with many RHOBH viewers, who gushed that Jennifer was one of the highlights of Season 14. The kooky, ultra-rich, and hilarious movie star was a refreshing presence at the tense reunion. Of course, it’s interesting to note that Jennifer is Sutton’s BFF.
At first, Garcelle continued to follow some of Sutton’s business accounts, such as The Sutton Concept. However, Garcelle later unfollowed those accounts as well. We’ll have to wait and see if their friendship can come back from this. In the meantime, Garcelle still follows their mutual friend/former RHOBH co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff. Should fans expect a tell-all appearance on Crystal’s podcast?
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
