Kyle Richards thought RHOBH costar Garcelle Beauvais was being an ‘a******’ for her sexuality comment
Kyle Richards thought Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Garcelle Beauvais was an ‘a*****e’ for her comment about her sexuality.
Her comments took place on Tuesday After Toon – after the final episode of the series.
During the show, Kyle, 56, spoke about her divorce from her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky.
Garcelle, 58, interrupted her and said she would be “100 percent blunt,” telling her, “Do whatever you want.” Be whoever you want to be. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian.”
Kyle looked stunned at the comments, while Erika and Sutton Stracke also looked completely shocked at Garcelle’s bold comments.
Kyle has consistently denied that she is dating her boyfriend, country singer Morgan Wade.

During the After Show, Kyle, who sat with co-star Erika Jayne, reflected on the moment.
Kyle said on the After Show, “What was really going through my mind was, ‘You’re a ****** now,'” referring to Garcelle.
Adding: ‘Try not to act like oopsie daisies. You know exactly what you’re doing.’
Kyle thought Garcelle might be trying to get “a reaction” out of her, adding, “What interested me was, where do you want to go?”
She added that Garcelle did not apologize to her.
Garcelle was also on the After Show, along with co-stars Sutton and Jennifer Tilly.
Garcelle provided more context behind her comments.
“Where I was coming from that night when I said it, it was about us growing up. We are people’s mothers, we are people’s grandmothers,” Garcelle said.

‘I didn’t force her to come out. What I said is, be whoever you want to be,” she added.
“I’m not trying to summon her. Own it, be authentic. I feel like Kyle worries a lot about what people think and what this is going to look like and what that’s going to look like — and she’s trying to figure it out,” Garcelle said.
The actress said women in their age group “don’t have to worry so much” about people’s opinions, noting that audiences can “connect” more when they are real and authentic.
“If this is who you are or even if you discover it, discover it and own it,” Garcelle said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star split from her husband Mauricio Umansky in July 2023.
Richards and Umansky, who have been married for 27 years, share daughters: Alexia, 28, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16.
The star also shares daughter Farrah, 36, with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.
Kyle and Wade first started hanging out in February 2023, when the singer appeared in a group photo shared to the reality star’s Instagram page.

In the caption, Kyle wrote, “I stalked @morganwademusic on IG after listening to her music while driving solo from Utah to Colorado making #housewivesofthenorthpole and today we met in person for the first time.”
The mother of four concluded: ‘The most unlikely friendship some may think, but kinship knows no bounds.’
Kyle is producing a documentary about Morgan, which will explore her rise to fame, her battle with drug addiction and her double mastectomy due to a defective gene that increases her risk of cancer.
TMZ reported at the time that Richards is the executive producer and will also appear on camera.
In July 2024, Richards denied there was anything romantic between her and Morgan, telling TMZ she was “not single.”
As for Morgan, she also emphasized to the newspaper that they were “very good friends.”

While Wade appeared on season 13 of RHOBH, she didn’t want to be on season 14, Kyle revealed to Page six.
She added that they had to reduce the amount of time they spent together because Kyle was filming and Wade didn’t want to be on camera.
‘I think she just didn’t want anything to do with my role [on] reality television and everything that came with it. And you know the paparazzi and all of that was very overwhelming. So I understood that and respected that… I’m an open book, but I can’t talk about other people’s experiences if they didn’t sign up for this and don’t want to be a part of this… I think everyone in that situation would be overwhelmed,” she told the outlet.
Kyle was spotted with ex Mauricio in Aspen over the New Year – along with their children – after it was reported she was left ‘heartbroken’ when he was spotted kissing a bikini model in Aspen.
