Lisa Vanderpump, who left RHOBH herself after Season 9, had a strong reaction to Garcelle Beauvais' exit.
hough they just missed each other on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump and Garcelle Beauvais still managed to form a friendship.
Now, the longtime pals have another thing in common: they've both left RHOBH behind.
Just a few weeks after Garcelle confirmed her departure from the series, Lisa weighed in on the decision.
"Oh, she's a wonderful woman. I'm sure she's moving on to other things," the Vanderpump Rules matriarch said to TMZ in April 2025. "It kind of served her well, and I wish her lots of luck..."
Lisa Vanderpump opens up about her friendship with Garcelle Beauvais
Back in February 2025, Lisa spoke about her close friendship with the actress in a chat with Us Weekly.
"I love Garcelle," Lisa said. "I actually think she’s probably one of the only ones I would have anything in common with. I think she’s a really hard working, down-to-earth woman and I have a lot of respect for her..."
The ladies first became friends after Lisa left RHOBH in 2019. Lisa hosted a charity event for Haiti at TomTom.
"There was Haitian music blaring. There were more Haitians than I knew there were in California that night there," Garcelle, who is Haitian, told The Daily Dish in 2022. "So I just fell in love with what she was doing."
Lisa later gave Garcelle's oldest son, Oliver Saunders, a job at her Las Vegas eatery, Vanderpump à Paris, which further cemented their friendship status.
Why is Garcelle Beauvais leaving RHOBH?
Garcelle decided to leave the series in March 2025 in order to focus on her sons, Jaid and Jax Nilon, and her acting/producing career.
"Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that," Garcelle said in her Instagram statement, before mentioning her son's modeling career. "And Jaid is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that too."
She added, "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."
Would Lisa Vanderpump return to RHOBH?
Lisa has not expressed an interest in returning to RHOBH. "That's a hard no," she told TMZ when asked if she would pick her diamond back up.
