Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais might not be getting along, but they do apparently have something in common.
“Well, look, we both married ugly white guys that cheated on us, so,” Erika, 53, declared during the Tuesday, March 25, episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “You know, for love.”
Host Andy Cohen was speechless at Erika’s statement, a reply to a comment Garcelle, 58, made during her WWHL appearance on March 17.
Garcelle stated “f— Erika” while in the WWHL Clubhouse earlier this month. The shade came after Erika stated that Garcelle’s dating life “peaked” in the 1990s during a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. (Garcelle has admitted to hooking up with celebrities like Sean Penn, Will Smith and Johnny Depp.)
“Your ‘90s roster was impeccable,” Andy, 56, said at the time. Garcelle replied, “Maybe I did peak. Listen, I married for love, not for money.”
Garcelle was married to talent agent Michael Nilon from 2001 to 2011 before they divorced because of reported infidelity in their marriage. Erika, meanwhile, is still married to estranged husband Tom Girardi, who is being held in a memory care facility after being found guilty of four counts of wire fraud last year.
Erika’s comments on WWHL on Tuesday have raised questions among Bravo fans who are wondering what went down during the RHOBH season 14 reunion, which is set to premiere next week.
Hours before the season 14 finale aired on Tuesday, Garcelle announced her departure from the show after five seasons. Erika and fellow RHOBH star Bozoma Saint John were asked for a reaction to the news on WWHL. However, both women remained coy.
“I am disappointed that she is departing like this. I wish that she would have stuck around to work out another season,” Bozoma told Andy. Erika added, “We’ve known that she’s quit for two weeks.”
Erika also claimed that Garcelle “did not take the cast photo with us” following the reunion. That is “a clear indication that I am leaving,” Erika continued.
A first look at the RHOBH season 14 reunion, which dropped on Tuesday, showed Garcelle experiencing some tension with the cast before walking off set.
Erika told Garcelle, “I wish you were more interesting, I guess,” during the preview. Garcelle subsequently rolled her eyes. Garcelle also appeared to be put on the spot for her past comments questioning Dorit Kemsley’s 2021 home invasion.
“I am just so f—ing sick of it,” Garcelle said as she walked off set. “I can’t be friends with people like that, I don’t trust them. They’re all f—ing a–holes.”
