Erika Jayne and Bozoma Saint John appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on the same night that Garcelle Beauvais confirmed her exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — and the diamond holders did not hold back when sharing their thoughts.
Andy Cohen asked the ladies to react to Garcelle’s exit, and they initially remained silent.
“Erika, say something,” Bozoma eventually said.
“You say something,” Erika responded.
“Well, I mean, look. I am disappointed that she is departing like this. I wish that she would have stuck around to work out another season,” Bozoma said before Andy asked for clarity. “After the reunion, I don’t think it’s a high note.”
Erika then addressed Andy.
“I mean, you were there,” she said about the reunion, which filmed in February 2025. “Well, I also — like, when we were at the reunion, and I know that she was upset, and obviously we’ve known that she’s quit for two weeks, OK? We knew this.”
“You knew that she quit. I didn’t know that she quit for two weeks,” the dad of two responded. “When she left the reunion, I wasn’t totally sure.”
“But she did not take the cast photo with us, so that is a clear indication that ‘I am leaving,'” Erika said, though Andy pointed out that Kyle had missed a final cast photo during a previous reunion.

Why is Garcelle Beauvais leaving RHOBH?
After five seasons as a diamond holder, Garcelle shared the bittersweet news that she would be leaving the show to focus on her kids and her career on her Instagram page on March 25.
“I have some news: I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills,” she said. “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.”
Referring to her sons Jax and Jaid Nilon, Garcelle said, “Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jaid is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that too.”
She continued, “Secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing, and acting in. I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon.”
