Garcelle admits Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is the “hardest” job she’s ever done
BravoGarcelle Beauvais is an actor, producer, and mother of three, but being on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is her most difficult job.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais is a person who wears many hats.
Before appearing on reality TV, she was most known for her roles in Coming to America and The Jamie Foxx Show.
Garcelle joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during Season 9 when Denise Richards brought her into the group.
As the first Black woman on the show, she’s been very open about representation, and isn’t afraid to call out other RHOBH cast members’ offensive comments.
Garcelle compares being on RHOBH to her acting career
On the Jennifer Hudson Show, Garcelle talked about her experience as a RHOBH cast member.
“When we’re not being catty and shading each other, it’s really fun. And the ridiculousness of how we dress, where we go, I mean you know, ball gowns to lunch.”
Although Garcelle enjoys being on RHOBH, she mentioned that it’s not always easy. “I mean it’s hard, it’s the hardest job I’ve ever done,” she said, noting that the drama does get to her.
She even admitted that starring on reality TV is harder than being an actor. “As an actor you know, you can hide behind a character, it’s not you you’re portraying. But being on a reality show – it’s all you. It’s you, it’s your family, it’s your house. So sometimes, like anything else, somebody can dig something up or say something that gets under your skin and it hurts.”
Garcelle has been involved in a lot of drama this season, and most recently attempted to end an ongoing feud with Dorit Kemsley.
At Crystal Kung Minkoff’s house, Dorit said she was being “attacked” by Garcelle, which was a microaggression toward her as a black woman.
While Dorit and Garcelle didn’t make any strides in moving their friendship forward, they were both able to express how they felt about the situation.
With The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 over halfway through, Garcelle will have to endure many other feuds in the coming episodes.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
