Kyle Richards defended keeping her friendship with Morgan Wade private after costar Garcelle Beauvais encouraged Kyle to "be a lesbian" if she wants during Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' reunion.
Garcelle Beauvais' last Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion will be one to remember—and not fondly.
The Coming to America actress had a heated face-off with Kyle Richards during the Bravo series' season 14 reunion over Garcelle repeatedly calling out Kyle for refusing to talk about her friendship with country singer Morgan Wade on camera.
"Last year, Morgan was part of the show, we met her," Garcelle argued during the April 1 episode. "And all of a sudden this year, it was like you weren't gonna bring her up, but then there's pictures in the press and we're just supposed to pretend that's not happening? Is that reality?"
Kyle fired back, "Morgan did not sign up for this show, she does not want to be part of it, she's not a part of the cast," before Garcelle interrupted with, "She didn't sign up for the show this season, but she was on before."
But since their friendship sparked countless romance rumors (which both have denied), Kyle now wants to protect the musician from the media frenzy.
"She came on as a favor to me," the Halloween Ends actress explained. "What ensued after that created a lot of anxiety for her."
Kyle then admitted to feeling "very hurt" by Garcelle this season, specifically when it came to a joke Garcelle made about the Morgan rumors in which she told Kyle, "Be whoever you want to be. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian."
And although Kyle did chuckle at the time, she's fuming today—which confused Garcelle.
Nicole Weingart/Bravo"How about the fact that, when we were at Chuck E. Cheese, we laughed about it and I was being completely genuine," Garcelle noted, adding, "and then you went on the after show and were like, 'She's a f--king a--hole.'"
Kyle's response? "You said that intentionally," she claimed, to which Garcelle reiterated, "Be who you want to be! Stop worrying about what other people think."
However, Kyle still insisted, "It was said to embarrass me."
But Kyle wasn't the only cast member who put Garcelle in the hot seat. Soon after, she and Dorit Kemsley had another showdown over Garcelle hinting that Dorit's 2021 home invasion robbery might have been staged.
By the time the cast retreated to their dressing rooms for a lunch break, it was more apparent than ever that Garcelle was planning to quit the show amid so much drama.
"Can I go home?" she asked a producer. "Everybody can go f--k themselves, I don't care."
See the drama continue when part two of the RHOBH reunion airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Bravo. In the meantime, keep reading to relive some of the most shocking Real Housewives reunion fights in Bravo history.
Bravo/ Jocelyn PrescodTeresa vs. the Gorgas, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
After feuding RHONJ's entire 13th season, Teresa Giudice declared she was done with brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga...forever.
Melissa and Teresa exchanged endless jabs and the fighting got so bad at one point, Andy Cohen reprimanded the co-stars. "Stop!" he yelled. "I swear to god, you guys are like f--king kindergarteners. It's crazy, you don't grow!"
The reunion ended with Joe sharing parting words after Teresa made it clear she wanted him out of her life. "You know what the best thing to do is?" he proposed. "Forget about me, I will forget about you. That's it. Do your thing, leave me alone, leave everybody alone, live your f--king lives."
Tommy Garcia/BravoKathy Hilton vs. Lisa Rinna, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Kathy Hilton and Lisa Rinna came face to face for the first time since the dramatic fallout of Kathy's alleged Aspen "meltdown" during RHOBH's season 12 reunion in 2022. Though Kathy apologized to sister Kyle Richards for allegedly bad-mouthing her, Kathy and Lisa had yet to settle their bitter feud and the tension was palpable through the TV screen.
Kathy denied all of the name-calling Lisa accused her of—which included insults like "stupid," "useless" and "pieces of s--t."
Kathy and Lisa's heated confrontation hit a climax when Kathy accused Lisa of trying to make her look bad to save her job on the show."You did it on camera because you're contract was coming up and you needed some drama because you fight with everybody," Kathy claimed. "You drove Lisa Vanderpump off the show, what you did to my sister [Kim Richards], you've had problems with everybody. With Camille Grammer, I mean the list can go on and on. And then saying you've been bullied? You are the biggest bully in Hollywood and everyone knows it. You're mean and you don't tell the truth."
Lisa left the series after the showdown.
Casey Durkin/Bravo/NBCU Photo BankKelly vs. Braunwyn, The Real Housewives of Orange County
RHOC's season 15 reunion was heated with many co-stars coming after Braunwyn Windham-Burke. But it was Kelly Dodd's explosive claims that Braunwyn is a "fake alcoholic" and only using her sobriety for a "storyline" that shocked fans and Andy Cohen alike.
"[Do you know] how dangerous this is to everyone out there in recovery right now?" Braunwyn fired back at Kelly. "You are disgusting. This is vile even for you."
Nicole Weingart/BravoBunnygate The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna's long-standing feud has delivered a number of iconic RHOBH moments, including Bunnygate. As uncomfortable as it was to watch, Bunnygate will forever have a place in the Real Housewives reunion hall of fame.
It all started during RHOBH season seven, when Lisa Rinna bought Kim Richards' newborn grandson a stuffed bunny as a peace offering. Then, when it came time for the reunion, Kim revealed that she couldn't accept the gift, let alone gift it to her grandson because "it didn't feel like it had good energy."
The result? A lone tear falling down Rinna's face before she stormed off set.
