Kathy told Too Fab that she reached out to the Actress/Executive Producer immediately after she walked off the reunion set.
Friends til the end:
“I love and adore her,” began the hotel mogul. “I called [Garcelle] right when I walked off the set from the reunion and talked to her.”
“Then, we ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later. I tried to not bring up too much, but I just want her to know that she’s very loved and will be missed. Everybody was shocked.”
Kathy was especially surprised. “I only came in at the tail end because I’m not a full-time housewife. So, I’m just in the last three hours of the reunion. And I didn’t see anything building up. I had no idea. So, I was like, ‘Oh my God!'”
“I haven’t asked [what caused Garcelle to walk out] because I just don’t want to push. We all can read all these things. But I think it’s everybody just assuming this or that.”
NAME ‘EM:
Kathy was asked to drop names of potential women who could take Garcelle’s place on RHOBH. But, she insisted there is no replacing her.
“Truthfully … I don’t think that any of the girls that have been on really can be replaced. Everybody’s unusual and leaves their mark on Housewives.”
“They’re talking with people and every day is a new day.”
Kathy has enough diamonds …
While other cast members clutch their diamond for dear life, Kathy (like Garcelle) doesn’t need the RHOBH paycheck or clout that comes with it.
When asked if she’d return to the show as a full-time housewife, Kathy responded, “No, no, no.”
“I want to be able to do this [motioning to the QVC event she was attending]. I love being able to spend the time that I do. We had a great time. And for me, it’s fun” being a ‘friend of’ without all the Housewife drama.
