Did Erika Jayne Just Throw Major Shade at Garcelle's RHOBH Exit? Drama Alert!

Hold up Housewives fans because things in Beverly Hills are getting spicy even before the reunion airs! Garcelle Beauvais just dropped a bomb announcing she's leaving RHOBH and the reactions from her costars are well... something else. Erika Jayne and Bozoma Saint John decided to weigh in and let's just say it's not exactly a fond farewell.

Garcelle's Out! RHOBH Star Says Goodbye After Explosive Season and Reunion Meltdown

So Garcelle announced on social media that after five seasons she is saying "see you later" to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She mentioned wanting to focus on her family especially her twin sons' senior year of high school and some exciting new projects she is working on. Sounds reasonable right? But if you watched the trailer for the Season 14 reunion you know there's likely more to the story.

That reunion trailer dropped right after Garcelle's announcement and it is INTENSE. It ends with Garcelle completely losing it storming off the set and dropping some serious f-bombs about her costars. She is clearly done with something. She even skips the cast photo at the end which is pretty telling. In the trailer we see Dorit Kemsley slamming Garcelle and Erika even calling her "not interesting." Ouch. It's safe to say Garcelle didn't exactly leave on good terms with everyone.

Garcelle herself hinted that things got rough saying "some amazing things have happened and some hard things have also happened." Understatement of the year maybe? She did thank Bravo Andy Cohen and the fans but that reunion blow-up definitely suggests some serious drama went down before she made her exit decision.

Erika and Bozoma's Shady Reactions: Did They Just Dismiss Garcelle's Departure?

Andy Cohen being the master of drama that he is grilled Erika Jayne and newbie Bozoma Saint John about Garcelle's exit on Watch What Happens Live. And their responses? Well let's just say they weren't exactly shedding tears.

Bozoma started with the classic "disappointed" line saying she wished Garcelle would have "stuck around to work out another season." "I don't think that's a high note" Bozoma added. Ouch. Erika Jayne went full Erika. She claimed she knew Garcelle was quitting for two weeks based on her reunion behavior. Erika said Garcelle storming off and skipping the cast photo was a "clear indication" she was leaving. Basically Erika seemed to be saying "we saw this coming."

Andy tried to play it neutral saying he "wasn't totally sure" Garcelle was quitting even after the reunion drama. Erika wasn't having it and called him out with "Revisionist history." Burn! Despite the shade Erika did throw in a backhanded compliment saying she wished Garcelle "stuck it out" while still managing to get in a dig by calling herself "catty." It's classic Erika – a mix of shade and seeming sincerity but mostly shade.

Andy Cohen Spills Tea: Real Conversation with Garcelle and Door Still Open for Return?

Andy Cohen being the Bravo whisperer actually had a "serious conversation" with Garcelle before her announcement. He revealed on his radio show that they talked about it all an hour before Garcelle's WWHL appearance a week prior. Andy said Garcelle told him "I've got to choose kind of my life." It sounds like Garcelle was feeling pulled in different directions and needed to prioritize.

Andy also confirmed that he told Garcelle the door is always open for a return in the future. He even said "Look call us in a year by the way if you feel like it. See where you’re at." So while Garcelle is saying "see you later" not goodbye it really might be just that - for now at least. Never say never in the world of Housewives right?
