Andy Cohen Opens Up About Garcelle Beauvais' Emotional RHOBH Exit and Talks RHONY Casting Rumors!

Andy Cohen addressed Garcelle Beauvais‘ exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on his radio show on Wednesday.

While also reacting to recent casting rumors regarding The Real Housewives of New York City, including the potential additions of Summer House cast members Lindsay Hubbard, 38, and Paige DeSorbo, 32, Andy, 56, looked back on a conversation he had with Garcelle, 58, after the taping of the RHOBH reunion.

“[Garcelle] had a reunion that you will see play out, and I’m not gonna, you’ll just watch it, but she didn’t, it was not, she ended in a not good place, and she and I were texting and she kept saying, ‘I will speak to you in New York,'” Andy revealed on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.

Last week, after traveling to the Big Apple for an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Garcelle sat down with Andy.

“We had a serious conversation before she was on [WWHL],” Andy shared. “We got together about an hour before her live show, and she and I [were] really hashing things out, and she let me into where her head was at, and there was not only stuff with the show, but she’s got, the kids are entering their senior year, and I really respect that fact that she, really, it was one of the most real conversations that it ended where it ended, but I would say it ended with her saying, ‘I’ve got to choose kind of my life.'”

In her exit statement, Garcelle hinted that a future return was possible. And Andy said on Wednesday, “I was like, ‘Look, call us in a year, by the way, if you feel like it. See where you’re at.'”

As for RHONY season 16, Andy couldn’t confirm which season 15 cast members would be returning because they “haven’t fully decided yet,” but he agreed there was a chance that not everyone would be back.

Then, speaking of Lindsay and Paige, Andy noted that he and his fellow producers hadn’t yet had any “[serious]” conversations.

“I did bring one of them up in a meeting. First of all, I don’t see Paige at this moment in her life saying that’s my next step, and Lindsay, I think, has been kind of posting about it, and I think I can’t say anything more about it,” he concluded.
