Critics Slam Kyle Richards Over Controversial Remarks on ‘Housewives’ Co-Star Garcelle Beauvais

In a recent interview, Richards, who has been part of the series since 2010, shared that she had sent several texts to Beauvais wishing her the best after Beauvais announced she was leaving the show. Despite Richards’ efforts, Beauvais apparently did not respond to her messages.

Later, Kyle Richards hopped on an Amazon Live session and expressed her confusion over Beauvais’ actions. Fans, however, were not on her side.

In another interview, Richards discussed Beauvais’ unexpected decision to leave the show, five years after joining the cast. Despite reaching out to Beauvais to offer her support, Richards revealed that her attempts to connect with the mother of three have been unsuccessful. “I haven’t received any response from her,” Richards shared. “I sent her two messages but did not get a reply.”

In an Instagram video, Beauvais alerted her nearly 1.5 million followers about her decision to leave the “Real Housewives” franchise. During her message, she called the experience a “wild ride,” adding, “… some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”

Beauvais explained that in addition to focusing on her other career opportunities, such as her lucrative gig with Lifetime, she also wanted to focus on her teenage sons, Jax and Jaid.

“Their last year of high school is next year, and I want to be a part of that,” she stated. “And Jaid is starting a new career, and I want to be a part of that, too.”

Beauvais did reveal she could potentially return for another spin around the block in the future, though. Per her conversation with Andy Cohen, the Bravo head honcho told the Netflix star she “can come back anytime” and that “the door will always be open.”

“We didn’t have any issues all season,” Richards said before explaining how comments Beauvais made about her during her scenes and confessional interviews “surprised” her.

“I don’t know,” she added. “I’m not really sure. But I’m disappointed she won’t be returning, and I really do wish her the best.”

After hearing Richards’ comments about her co-star, several Bravo fans shared their thoughts about their broken relationship online and slammed the Bravo OG.

“Kyle has no shame,” wrote one user. “Like, we all watched the reunion, ‘Ms. we didn’t have any issues all season.’ You also ignored her when she greeted you at the reunion.”

Another user pointed to Richards’ unsavory behavior in the past, which included her laughing at Beauvais’ minor children being cursed at by an adult (Erika Jayne) and when she called the “Coming to America” star a “mean girl” during part one of the reunion special.

Many other netizens chimed in, too, calling Richards’ behavior “fake” and “phony.”

“Please release the sh-t you’re full of,” someone else commented.

Beauvais isn’t the only ‘Housewives’ star Richards has beef with. During an earlier season 14 episode, the veteran reality star broke down in tears after fighting with Dorit Kemsley over texts she sent her husband.

While filming a group scene, Richards told Kemsley, who used to be one of the 56-year-old’s best friends, that she only sent “memes and jokes” with Kemsley’s partner, P.K.

“My friendship with PK is memes and jokes,” claimed Richards. “You know, he doesn’t share anything about your relationship or anything that’s going on. We don’t talk like that. It’s literally, like memes and jokes and things like that, and that’s it.”

In her confessional interview, Kemsley reflected on how Richards’ actions made her feel and stated her behavior was unacceptable.
