Garcelle Beauvais is ready for a fresh start after her exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Less than a month after she announced her departure from the hit Bravo series, Beauvais, 58, unfollowed her former RHOBH costars on Instagram.
The actress is no longer following pal Sutton Stracke, in addition to other former castmates Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John.
However, she is still following the Instagram pages for Stracke’s namesake store and her event company. She also remains a follower of her former costars Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.
Meanwhile, Stracke, Richards, Kemsley and Saint John are still following Beauvais while Girardi has hit the unfollow button.

The change comes after Beauvais confirmed her exit from the series in a surprise announcement on March 25 after five seasons on RHOBH.
"I have some news: I have decided to leave Beverly Hills," Beauvais said in a video shared to her Instagram account. "It’s been a wild ride, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened — but it’s been a ride nevertheless."
She went on to explain that she was leaving the series to spend time with her family and focus on new projects, saying, "One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys. Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that…And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in — I can’t tell you anything now but you’ll know soon."
After thanking the team behind the show, she teased, “Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know, I might pop back in sometime.”
Beauvais’ tenure on RHOBH came to an end on the final installment of the Bravo show's season 14 reunion on April 15. During the special, she found herself on the outs with the rest of the Housewives when she refused to participate in the cast photo.
"I'm out," Garcelle said as she shook her head before making her exit. "I'm not. I'm not."

"Guys, I'm not doing this anymore. I don't want cameras here," she told production as she began changing out of her reunion dress. "And I never say I don't want cameras. I'm always a team player. But this — there's no team."
Noting that she didn't feel the Housewives acknowledged the steps she's made to repair their relationships after taking accountability for her own actions, she added: "Everybody jumped at me and I felt like I was on an island by myself. I can't be friends with people like that, I can't trust them. I don't trust them and they obviously don't like me."
As she left, she noted, "I'm done. It's been an amazing ride, I'm so grateful for the opportunity, but I'm done.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock.
