The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is officially behind Garcelle Beauvais.
Almost a year after leaving the show, Garcelle says she has no interest in mending friendships with her old castmates. That includes Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, and Erika Jayne.
“I’m not looking for that, and I don’t think they are either,” Garcelle told People.
“So it’s probably even. The past is the past.”
That sounded final.
Why Garcelle Walked Away From RHOBH
Garcelle announced her exit from RHOBH in March 2025 after five seasons. The decision followed a messy Season 14 reunion that ended with her storming off set.
She refused to pose for the cast photo.
She felt unsupported.
And she said she no longer trusted the women.
“I can’t be friends with people like that,” she said at the time.
“I don’t trust them.”
Days later, she unfollowed all of her costars on Instagram.
That told its own story.
RHOBH: The Friendship That Hurt The Most
One relationship cut deeper than the rest.
Garcelle previously admitted her friendship with Sutton is over.
On Watch What Happens Live, she told Andy Cohen that Sutton didn’t support her when it counted.
“Not only she didn’t have my back,” Garcelle said,
“she never took accountability.”
That hurt stayed with her.
Still, Garcelle said she looks back fondly on their time together.
“We had some really good laughs,” she said.
“I don’t regret it.”
She also hinted Kyle might be the only former castmate she could ever reconnect with. But even that felt distant.
RHOBH: Life Feels “Much Lighter” Without Bravo
Since leaving the show, Garcelle says life feels calmer.
“Much lighter,” she said.
She enjoys privacy now. She enjoys choosing projects without cameras in her face. And her kids feel the difference too.
“I love my life now,” she shared.
“My kids appreciate it.”
Her twin sons, Jax and Jaid, and her older son Oliver appeared on RHOBH in the past. But that exposure came at a cost.

RHOBH: Why Her Son Refused To Film
Ahead of Season 14, Garcelle’s son Jax made a decision that changed everything.
“Mom, I can’t do it anymore,” he told her.
“It was too negative for me.”
After online hate targeted him, he refused to film. Garcelle backed him immediately.
“I respected that,” she said.
Watching that moment unfold explains why Garcelle chose peace over reality TV.
RHOBH: No Regrets And No Looking Back
Garcelle says she feels fantastic. Grounded. Clear.
She left RHOBH to protect her family and herself. And she is not interested in reopening old wounds.
No reunions.
No forced friendships.
No Bravo pressure.
Just forward motion.
And from the way she says it, she has never felt better.
