Kathy Hilton and Garcelle Beauvais’ off-screen friendship is still very much intact.
On Friday, August 22, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies came together for a special luncheon at the iconic Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont. Kathy and Garcelle had stepped out to support a new initiative from Covet By Christos — a luxury platform launched by Dukes of Melrose’s Christos Garkinos.

“Sharing laughs and lunch with my favorites,” Kathy captioned an August 22 carousel featuring photos of her, Garcelle, and Christos.
“So happy we got to catch up,” Garcelle added in the comments.
Garcelle also took to Instagram to show off her colorful luncheon outfit and to give a closer look at the intimate event. She uploaded photos of herself posing alongside the host and Kathy, as well as The Real Housewives of Miami’s Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton.

Garcelle Beauvais announces RHOBH exit after Season 14
The Kathy-Garcelle reunion occurred about five months after the latter’s RHOBH exit. Garcelle, who had joined the cast in Season 10 (2020), announced the decision in an online video, the same day as the RHOBH Season 14 finale.
“I have some news: I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills,” she told viewers. “It’s been a wild ride — I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”

Shortly after her exit, Garcelle unfollowed most of her Season 14 castmates on Instagram, including her longtime bestie Sutton Stracke. In fact, Kathy and Housewives friend Jennifer Tilly were the only Beverly Hills ladies who didn’t receive the chop.
Garcelle expressed her frustration with the cast during Part 3 of the Season 14 reunion, which ended with her abruptly leaving the set and refusing to take the customary group photo.
“I’m out,” Garcelle said following several tense exchanges with her fellow Wives. “Everybody jumped at me, and I felt like I was on an island by myself. I can’t be friends with people like that; I can’t trust them. I don’t trust them, and they obviously don’t like me… I’m done. It’s been an amazing ride, I’m so grateful for the opportunity, but I’m done.”
How did Kathy Hilton react to Garcelle Beauvais’ RHOBH departure?
Kathy addressed Garcelle’s exit in a May interview with Too Fab, saying she and everyone else were completely “shocked” by the decision.
“I love and adore her. I called her, obviously, right when I walked off the set from the reunion and talked to her,” the RHOBH friend said. “We ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later, and I tried to not bring up too much because I just want her to know that she’s very loved and will be missed.”
