"Garcelle wants information about Kyle's private life, yet we know nothing about Garcelle's private life. I don't know, Who is Garcelle sleeping with?" Erika wondered after Garcelle inquired about Kyle Richards' friendship with Morgan Wade on the group trip to Saint Lucia. "I know she had a roster. Back in the '90s, it was good. Maybe she peaked."

Garcelle responded to Erika's comment during the After Show for the March 18 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. 

"F--k Erika," she said, which you can see for yourself by watching the video at the top of this post. 

"I will say," host Andy Cohen began in Erika's defense. "Just so you have both sides of the equation, your '90s roster was impeccable."

"I mean, I was a young starlet," Garcelle agreed. "And maybe I did peak."

The actress and mom of three had one final thought on the matter. "Listen, I married for love, not for money," she said, seemingly critiquing the "XXPEN$IVE" singer's marriage to Tom Girardi.
