RHOBH Star Shares Update on Garcelle Beauvais Ahead of Season 15 Cast Announcement

Kathy Hilton revealed she has been in touch with Garcelle Beauvais amid her former co-star’s resignation from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

In an interview with TooFab, Hilton noted that she is one of only two RHOBH cast members whom Beauvais still follows on Instagram, and she shared details on when she last saw her.

In February, Beauvais became upset during the RHOBH season 14 reunion taping and walked off the set without posing for the traditional cast photo. She announced her resignation from the Bravo reality show one month later.

Kathy Hilton Went Out to Dinner With Garcelle Beauvais

In the May 2025 interview, Hilton said she loves and adores Beauvais. She noted that on the day of the reunion taping, she called Beauvais and talked to her right after she got off the set.

“And then we ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later. And I tried to not bring up too much because I just don’t, I just want her to know that she’s very loved and will be missed.”

“Everybody was shocked,” Hilton added of the rest of the cast, which included her sister Kyle Richards and co-stars Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, and Bozoma Saint John.

“I only came in at the tail end because I’m not a full-time Housewife, so I’m just at the, like, last three hours of the reunion, and I didn’t see anything building up or I had no idea. So I was like ‘Oh my God,’” Hilton admitted.

Hilton added that she hasn’t asked Beauvais what provoked her to storm off the set and ultimately resign from the show. “It’s something I haven’t asked because I just don’t want to push,” Hilton explained.

Kathy Hilton Thinks Sutton Stracke Will Miss Having Garcelle Beauvais on the Show

During her five seasons on RHOBH, Beauvais was very close to Sutton Stracke. Hilton admitted that she thinks Stracke will have a tough time without her wing woman next season.

“I think Sutton will miss her very, very much,” Hilton shared. “I had lunch with Sutton and Jennifer [Tilly] on Friday, and I think she’s going to miss her very much.”

“Who knows, though, she could end up coming back. But she, Garcelle, is booked. She’s busy right now and she really wants to be with her boys and the grandchildren and she’s got commitments,” she added.

Hilton noted that there is no replacing Beauvais but shared that she knows the producers are “talking” to people for the season 15 cast.

In a separate interview, Tilly expressed concern for Stracke next season, especially since she also parted ways with her longtime assistant Avi Gabay, who was often featured on the show with her.

“There’s been a big shift, because Avi is no longer coming back, Garcelle’s not coming back,” Tilly told TooFab. “I think it’s gonna be hard on Sutton because Sutton and Garcelle were so close and I think that’s gonna be difficult for Sutton.”

In April, Stracke told Page Six that she decided to give Beauvais “space” amid her RHOBH exit. “Garcelle has chosen to unfollow all of the ‘Housewives,’” Stracke said. “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now. I love her and am giving her the space she needs.”
