Garcelle Beauvais is reflecting on her exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The actress announced her departure from RHOBH in March, days before Part 1 of the RHOBH Season 14 reunion aired. The reunion would include a significant moment for Garcelle as she walked off the set at the end of Part 3. And she’s now addressing her motivation behind that.
Garcelle spoke with Variety on Oct. 1, where she noted that the drama was “heavy” on her spirit at the time. “Walking away has given me my power back,” she admitted. “It’s given me a sense of freedom, and I’m in a good headspace.”
“There was a moment where I felt like I no longer belonged here,” she added. “I no longer fit in here. It was definitely a moment of like, ‘This is not for me.’ It just didn’t feel right.”
